Theorizing Language: Analysis, Normativity, Rhetoric, History
ISBN: 9780080425771 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although what language users in different cultures say about their own language has long been recognized as of potential interest, its theoretical importance to the study of language has typically been thought to be no more than peripheral. "Theorizing Language" is the first book to place the reflexive character of language at the very centre both of its empirical study and of its theoretical explanation. Language can only be explained as a cultural product of the reflexive application of its own creative powers to construct, regulate, and give conceptual form to objects of understanding....

This book presents in a single volume a comprehensive history of the language sciences, from ancient times through to the twentieth century.

There has also been a concentration on...

Concise Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Language
ISBN: 9780080429915 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Philosophers have had an interest in language from the earliest times but the twentieth century, with its so-called 'linguistic turn' in philosophy, has seen a huge expansion of work focused specifically on language and its foundations. No branch of philosophy has been unaffected by this shift of emphasis. It is timely at the end of the century to review and assess the vast range of issues that have been developed and debated in this central area.
The distinguished international contributors present a clear, accessible guide to the fundamental questions raised by the philosophers about... Philosophers have had an interest in language from the earliest times but the twentieth century, with its so-called 'linguistic turn' in philosophy, h...

The Semantics/Pragmatics Interface from Different Points of View
ISBN: 9780080430805 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 491 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hardbound. This volume examines explicitly the question of how the semantics and pragmatics of a number of expressions might be responsibly discussed. In the past, the temptation has been for the expressions in question to be discussed either in terms of the semantics, or in terms of the pragmatics, but extremely rarely in terms of both. This book shows how revealing analyses for this interface can be provided for the expressions in question.In specially commissioned chapters from leading authors, the points of view represented include linguistics, logic, computational linguistics, and...

Language Acquisition: Knowledge Representation and Processing
ISBN: 9780080433707 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Language Acquisition has been a much-disputed territory over which the conflicting claims of cognitive scientists, psychologists and linguists have long been fought. While for years each discipline has kept within its own theoretical frameworks, a fruitful recent development has been the increase in cross-disciplinary fertilisation of ideas between researchers of different orientations. It is in this spirit of collaboration that the GALA conferences on Language Acquisition have taken off. The aim of GALA '97 was to further promote cross-fertilisation across the different disciplines. The...

Langue and Parole in Synchronic and Diachronic Perspective: Selected Proceedings of the Xxxist Annual Meeting of the Soicetas Linguistica Europaea, St
ISBN: 9780080435817 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume contains 37 papers selected from the proceedings of the XXXIst Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea held at the University of St Andrews, Scotland in 1998. The general theme of the conference was 'langue and parole in synchronic and diachronic perspective', a theme chosen for its enduring importance and one which allowed speakers to reflect on the theoretical notions of langue and parole, to use them in an actual analysis or to present material beyond these core ideas. The breadth of papers published here and the eminence of many of the contributors reflects the...

Presuppositions and Pronouns
ISBN: 9780080435923 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this volume, Geurts takes discourse representation theory (DRT), and turns it into a unified account of anaphora and presupposition, which he applies not only to the standard problem cases but also to the interpretation of modal expressions, attitude reports, and proper names. The resulting theory, for all its simplicity, is without doubt the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The central idea underlying Geurts' 'binding theory' of presupposition is that anaphora is just a special case of presupposition projection. But this is only one of the ways in which the concept of...

Modality: Issues in the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface
ISBN: 9780080436340 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume focuses on the interplay between grammatical and pragmatic factors in the comprehension of lexically communicated meaning. It uses a case-study, modality, in order to illustrate how the plasticity of lexically conveyed information can be accounted for without assuming semantic polysemy. The author's approach to the semantics and pragmatics of the English modal verbs is developed within the relevance-theoretic framework of communication.

War Words: Language, History and the Disciplining of English
ISBN: 9780080436500 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Debates about the nature of literacy and literacy practices have been conducted extensively in the last fifteen years or so. The fact that both previous and current British governments have effectively suppressed any real debate makes the publication of this book both timely and important. Here, Urszula Clark stresses the underlying ideological character of such debates and shows that they have deep historical roots. She also makes the point that issues regarding the relationship between language and identity, especially national identity, become sharply focused at times of crisis in that...

ISBN: 9780080438702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The aim of this study is to discover basic principles underlying linguistic figurativeness and to develop a theory that is capable of capturing conventional figurative language (referred to as CFLT, i.e. Conventional Figurative Language Theory). The rich empirical data analysed for this publication include, among other things, idioms, proverbs, lexicalised metaphors, and figurative compounds, drawn from ten standard languages with widely different genetic relationships and/or cultural backgrounds (English, German, Dutch, Swedish, French, Russian, Lithuanian, Greek, Finnish, Japanese) and one...
