Since its initiation some twenty years ago Longman Linguistics
Library has established itself as a series aimed primarily at an
undergraduate and postgraduate student readership. Some of its
books serve as introductions to key aspects of the subject, others
are more specialised: generally they assume a first year's
knowledge of linguistics and lead the reader on from there. In all
cases the books are self-contained; they are intended to treat
important areas in general linguistics and to be of value for a
number of years
Word storage and processing define a multi-factorial domain of
scientific inquiry whose thorough investigation goes well beyond
the boundaries of traditional disciplinary taxonomies, to require
synergic integration of a wide range of methods, techniques and
empirical and experimental findings. The present book intends to
approach a few central issues concerning the organization,
structure and functioning of the Mental Lexicon, by asking domain
experts to look at common, central topics from complementary
standpoints, and discuss the advantages of developing converging
perspectives. The book will explore the connections between
computational and algorithmic models of the mental lexicon, word
frequency distributions and information theoretical measures of
word families, statistical correlations across psycho-linguistic
and cognitive evidence, principles of machine learning and
integrative brain models of word storage and processing. Main goal
of the book will be to map out the landscape of future research in
this area, to foster the development of interdisciplinary curricula
and help single-domain specialists understand and address issues
and questions as they are raised in other disciplines.
"Linguistic Analyses of Aphasic Language" represents results from
linguistic and neurolinguistic research on aphasic language
performance. The contributions encompass all linguistic levels,
ranging from phonetics to discourse, and present results on
languages other than English. The findings and applied methods are
both relevant to the study of aphasia in general and to
cross-linguistic analyses. Furthermore, they have clear
implications for language and speech therapy and thus show the
importance of linguistic concepts for language testing and
therapeutic intervention.
The volume deals with the emergence of verb morphology in children
during their second and early third year of life from a
cross-linguistic perspective. It covers 15 contributions - each
analyzing one single language - based on parallel longitudinal
investigations of children with parallel methodology and
macrostructure in representation. The main question addressed is:
How do children detect morphology and construct first subsystems of
verbal inflection? The focus lies on the transition from a
premorphological phase to a protomorphological phase. The main
proposal consists in the concept of miniparadigms and of their
relation to morpho-syntactic developments in early first language
acquisition.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.

This is the first volume specifically dedicated to competition in
inflection and word-formation, a topic that has increasingly
attracted attention. Semantic categories, such as concepts,
classes, and feature bundles, can be expressed by more than one
form or formal pattern. This departure from the ideal principle
"one form - one meaning" is particularly frequent in morphology,
where it has been treated under diverse headings, such as blocking,
Elsewhere Condition, Panini's Principle, rivalry, synonymy,
doublets, overabundance, suppletion and other terms. Since these
research traditions, despite the heterogeneous terminology,
essentially refer to the same underlying problems, this volume
unites the phenomena studied in this field of linguistic morphology
under the more general heading of competition. The volume features
an extensive state of the art report on the subject and 11 research
papers, which represent various theoretical approaches to
morphology and address a wide range of aspects of competition,
including morphophonology, lexicology, diachrony, language contact,
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and language acquisition.
