Auxiliaries: Cognitive Forces and Grammaticalization
ISBN: 9780195083873 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a new perspective on auxiliaries in particular and language structure in general, this study argues that language cannot be explained satisfactorily with reference to linguistic variables alone; what is required in addition are extra-linguistic parameters relating to how we perceive the world around us, and how we utilize the linguistic resources available to us to conceptualize our experiences, and to communicate successfully. Rather than a closed, self-contained system, language is an entity that is constantly shaped by such external factors as cognitive forces, pragmatic...

Clause Structure and Language Change
ISBN: 9780195086324 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Principles-and-Parameters approach to linguistic theory has triggered an enormous amount of work in comparative syntax over the last decade or so. A natural consequence of the growth in synchronic comparative work has been a renewed interest in questions of diachronic syntax, and this collection testifies to that trend. These papers focus on questions of clause structure which have become a central theme of theoretical work since the pioneering work in the late 1980s by Chomsky, Pollock, and others. The languages studied by an international roster of contributors include all the major...

Double Case: Agreement by Suffixaufnahme
ISBN: 9780195087758 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Suffixaufnahme is an unusual pattern of multiple case marking due to agreement: a nominal that is already case-marked for its own adnominal function in addition copies the case of the nominal to which it is to be related. The essays in this collection comprehensively examine this little known phenomenon in all areas where it is (or was) attested--most typically in Anatolia, the Caucasus and Transcaucasus, Aryan India, Eastern Siberia, Ethiopia, and aboriginal Australia. The definitive comparative account of Suffixaufnahme, this volume shows how an ostensibly marginal pattern of case...

Disorderly Discourse: Narrative, Conflict, and Inequality
ISBN: 9780195087765 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Conflict plays a crucial role in social interactions, and representations of conflict are an important aspect of language. Stories and narratives involving everything from war to playground disputes generate, sustain, mediate, and represent conflict at all levels of social organization. Still, despite the vast amount of research on conflict and narrative in a number of disciplines, no one has yet examined how these play off of each other; in fact, most studies treat narrative merely as a source of information about conflict rather then as a part of conflict's process. The...

Parameters and Functional Heads: Essays in Comparative Syntax
ISBN: 9780195087932 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays collected in this volume, most previously unpublished, address a number of closely interconnected issues raised by the comparative syntax of functional heads within the Principles-and-Parameters approach. The general theory of head movement, the properties of derived structures created by incorporation, and the parameterization involved are the main theoretical foci. One major empirical area which is addressed concerns head movement in configurations involving certain kinds of operator-like elements, for example, the different manifestations of Verb Second phenomena in Wh and other...

Parameters of Slavic Morphosyntax
ISBN: 9780195089714 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on issues of case theory and comparative grammar, this study treats selected problems in the syntax of the Slavic languages from the perspective of Government-Binding theory. Steven Franks seeks to develop parametric solutions to related constructions among the various Slavic languages. A model of case based loosely on Jakobson's feature system is adapted to a variety of comparative problems in Slavic, including across-the-board constructions, quantification, secondary predication, null subject phenomena, and voice. Solutions considered make use of recent approaches to phrase...

Sounds Like Life: Sound-Symbolic Grammar, Performance, and Cognition in Pastaza Quechua
ISBN: 9780195089851 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sound-symbolism occurs when words resemble the sounds associated with the phenomena they attempt to describe, rather than an arbitrary representation. For example the word raven is arbitrary in that it does not resemble a raven; cuckoo, however, is sound -symbolic in that it resembles the bird's call. In Sounds Like Life, Janis Nuckolls studies the occurrence of sound-symbolic words in Pastaza Quechua (a dialect of Quechua), which is spoken in eastern Ecuador. The use of sound-symbolic words is much more prevalent in Pastaza Quechua than in any other language,...

The New Oxford Guide to Writing
ISBN: 9780195090598 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many books on writing tell you how to think more creatively, how to conjure up an idea from scratch. Many, once you have an idea, show you how to express it clearly and elegantly. And many handbooks offer reliable advice on the use of commas, semicolons, and so forth. But The New Oxford Guide to Writing does all three, so that no matter where you find yourself in the writing process--from the daunting look of a blank page, to the rough draft that needs shaping, to the small but important questions of punctuation--you will find what you need in one handy volume....

Governing the Tongue
ISBN: 9780195090802 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Governing the Tongue explains why the spoken word assumed such importance in the culture of early New England. In a work that is at once historical, socio-cultural, and linguistic, Jane Kamensky explores the little-known words of unsung individuals, and reconsiders such famous Puritan events as the banishment of Anne Hutchinson and the Salem witch trials, to expose the ever-present fear of what the Puritans called "sins of the tongue." But even while dangerous or deviant speech was restricted, as Kamensky illustrates here, godly speech was continuously praised and promoted....

The Emergence and Development of Svo Patterning in Latin and French: Diachronic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives
ISBN: 9780195091038 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book analyzes--in terms of branching--the pervasive reorganization of Latin syntactic and morphological structures: in the development from Latin to French, a shift can be observed from the archaic, left-branching structures (which Latin inherited from Proto-Indo-European) to modern right-branching equivalents. Brigitte Bauer presents a detailed analysis of this development based on the theoretical discussion and definition of "branching" and "head." Subsequently she relates the diachronic shift to psycholinguistic evidence, arguing that the difficulty of LB complex structures as...

Particles: On the Syntax of Verb-Particle, Triadic, and Causative Constructions
ISBN: 9780195091342 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Particles are words that do not change their form through inflection and do not fit easily into the established system of parts of speech. Examples include the negative particle "not," the infinitival particle "to" (as in "to go"), and do and let in "do tell me" and "let's go." Particles investigates the constraints on the distribution and placement of verbal particles. A proper understanding of these constraints yields insight into the structure of various secondary predicative constructions. Starting out from a detailed analysis of complex particle constructions, den Dikken brings...

Ellipsis: Functional Heads, Licensing, and Identification
ISBN: 9780195091816 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book elaborates a theory of ellipsis that sheds new light on a well-known phenomenon, bringing it under the aegis of general and universal principles. Lobeck argues that ellipted categories in IP (VP Ellipsis), DP (N' Ellipsis), and CP (Sluicing) are empty, non-referential pronominals, subject to the same licensing and identification conditions as referential pro. She proposes that both types of empty pronominals must be licensed under head-government to satisfy the Empty Category Principle, and identified through strong agreement. In the case of ellipsis, agreement-type...

ISBN: 9780195091922 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The authors bridge the gap between the semantic and syntactic properties of verb tense and aspect, and suggest a unified account of tense and aspect using Chomsky's Principles and Parameters Framework. They compare tense and aspect systems in Romance languages with Germanic ones.

Tense and Aspect: From Semantics to Morphosyntax
ISBN: 9780195091939 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the interactions between the morphosyntax and the semantic interpretation of tense and aspect in the Germanic and Romance languages. These languages diverge not only in their variety of tense and aspectual forms, but also in the distribution and interpretation of given forms. Adopting Noam Chomsky's minimalist framework, Alessandra Giorgi and Fabio Pianesi attempt to provide theoretical explanations for the observed patterns of form and meaning which link the morphosyntactic properties of languages in both universal and language-particular constraints on...

Cicero: On the Ideal Orator
ISBN: 9780195091984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In On the Ideal Orator, (De oratore), Cicero, the greatest Roman orator and prosewriter of his day, gives his mature views on rhetoric, oratory, and philosophy. Cast in the lively, literary form of a dialogue, this classic work presents a daring view of the orator as the master of all language communication while still emphasizing his role at the heart of Roman society and politics. Cicero's conception of the ideal orator represents his own original synthesis of the positions of the philosophers and the rhetoricians in the age-old quarrel between these disciplines.
