The volume focuses on the interaction of different levels of
linguistic analysis (syntax, semantics, pragmatics) and the
interfaces between them, on the convergence of different
theoretical models in explaining linguistic phenomena, and on
recent interdisciplinary approaches to linguistic analysis. Its
theoretical importance lies in bringing out and highlighting some
of the common trends and directions found in recent theoretical
frameworks which focus on themes traditionally downplayed by
mainstream 20th century linguistics. It further familiarizes the
reader with the methodology used in such frameworks and shows how
methodology developed in different theoretical perspectives can
often converge in yielding similar results. While representing
different traditions, all papers in this volume assume a necessity
for the study of language to be paired with the study of cognition
and for linguistics to develop more substantive links to other
disciplines, thereby creating converging trends into the new
century. The structure of this volume reflects this assumption
along a cline of theoretical models and methodologies, starting
from those that view language as part of cognition and ending with
those that consider the language faculty to be distinct from
general cognition. Thus the volume is divided into five parts: (I)
relaxing level boundaries, (II) focusing on level interaction,
(III) drawing on different theories, (IV) exploring field
interaction, and (V) interdisciplinary perspectives on modularity.
The volume is of particular relevance to scholars and students who
are interested in an in-depth overview of 20th century linguistics
outside/beyond the generative paradigm, and in exploring the
development of 20th century legacy into current work.
