The first edition of this major introduction to linguistics rapidly
established itself as an important student textbook, and a
reference tool for those who already have some acquaintance with
linguistics. This second edition has been updated and revised and
includes new chapters on syntax and on current developments in
generative grammar, as well as new material on the nature of
language and on morphology. This book first provides a
comprehensive critical review of the analytic tools and theories of
linguistics and systematically surveys major concepts in phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Having established the
basic nature and structure of language, the final part of the book
engages some of the wider issues concerning the use of language in
speaking and understanding (psycholinguistics), language
development in children, social aspects of language
(sociolinguistics), and historical language choice.
"Generative Phonology" offers an overview of the post-SPE theory of
generative phonology and is suitable for linguists not specializing
in phonology, who want to keep abreast of the latest developments
in the subject. It deals with all the major trends in what has come
to be known as "non-linear" phonology, including: particle
phonology; dependancy phonology; government and charm phonology.
Iggy Roca guides the reader through the developments of the various
approaches, justifying their rationale against the background of
SPE machinery, and providing the reader with the basic tools
necessary to penetrate current problems and debates. This text aims
to integrate the modules and proposals of what can seem a
fragmentary field, into a cohesive body of living theory.
