The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.

Roots - Linguistics in Search of its Evidential Base (Hardcover): Sam Featherston, Wolfgang Sternefeld Roots - Linguistics in Search of its Evidential Base (Hardcover)

The renewed focus on the evidential base of linguistics in general, but particularly on syntax, is in to a large degree dependent on technological developments: computers, electronic storage and transmission. These factors have enabled a revolution in the accessibility of digitally stored language, both in sampled and organized corpora and in its raw unsampled form on the internet. But this technology has also allowed a step-change in experimental methods readily available to linguists. The new arrival of such enormous quantities of data in greatly increased detail has made information accessible which could previously not even have been dreamed of. This volume is a selection of research reports from linguists who are making use of this new information and trying to integrate the new insights into their analyses and theoretical assumptions.

This textbook helps undergraduate students of language and linguistics taking their first steps in one of the core areas of grammar, introducing them to the basic ideas, insights, and techniques of contemporary semantic theory. Requiring no special background knowledge, the book starts with everyday observations about word meaning and useand then hightlights the role of structure in the analysis of the meanings of phrases and clauses, zooming in on the fascinating and vexing question of how speakers manage to meaningfully communicate with sentences and texts they have never come across before. At the same time, the reader becomes acquainted with the modern, functionalist characterization of linguistic meaning in terms of reference (extension) and information (intension), and learns to apply technical tools from formal logic to analyzing the meaning of complex linguistic expressions as being composed by the meanings of their parts. Each of the nine main chapters contains a variety of exercises for self-study and classroom use, with model solutions in the appendix. Extensive English examples provide ample illustration.

Syntaktische Grenzen (German, Paperback, 1991 ed.): Wolfgang Sternefeld Syntaktische Grenzen (German, Paperback, 1991 ed.)
Wolfgang Sternefeld
R1,559 Discovery Miles 15 590 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Chomskys "Barriers" hat wie kaum ein anderes Werk die Entwicklung der syntaktischen Theoriebildung in den letzten funf Jahren beeinflusst. Ihr Leitmotiv ist die Suche nach einer gemeinsamen Grundlage fur Rektions- und Bewegungsprozesse: Weder die Rektionsbeziehung noch die Relation "Bewege-a" konnen sich uber bestimmte Grenzen hinweg erstrecken, welche allerdings fur die jeweiligen Prozesse von verschiedener Art zu sein scheinen. Das Ziel der Theorie ist nun, einen fur beide Prozesse gultigen Begriff der Barriere zu entwickeln. Das Buch bietet: - eine systematische Einfuhrung in die komplexe Begrifflichkeit anhand von zahlreichen Aufgaben (mit Losungskizzen im Anfang) und sorgfaltig ausformulierten Definitionen- eine kritische Bewertung der Theorie, - einen Vergleich mit Weiterentwicklungen wie Bakers Inkorporationstheorie und Rizzis Theorie der relativen Minimalitat und- einen konstruktiven Beitrag zur Uberwindung der Schwierigkeiten bisheriger Theorien, welcher das Programm der Vereinheitlichung vollstandig durchzufuhren vermag."

Chomskys "Rektions- und Bindungstheorie" ist die gemeinsame Sprache der generativ arbeitenden Syntaktiker unserer Tage. Die beiden Autoren legen hier eine umfassende Einfuhrung in die Grundlagen und den neuesten Stand dieser Theorie vor. Das Buch wurde als verlassliches Lehr- und Nachschlagewerk konzipiert, es liefert ein geschlossenes Lehrgebaude, das in zahlreichen Lehrveranstaltungen erprobt und laufend verbessert wurde. Aufbau und Darstellung zeichnen sich durch Koharenz und Verstandlichkeit aus. Neben den klassischen Beispielsprachen (Englisch, Hollandisch unddie romanischen Sprachen) spielt auch das Deutsche eine wichtigeRolle fur die Anwendung der Theorie."
