Contexts of Metaphor
ISBN: 9780080438818 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study presents an approach to metaphor that systematically takes contextual factors into account. It analyses how metaphors both depend on, and change, the context in which they are uttered, and specifically, how metaphorical interpretation involves the articulation of asserted, implied and presupposed material. It supplements this semantic analysis with a practice-based account of metaphor at the conceptual level, which stresses the role of sociocultural factors in concept formation.

Analysing the Language of Discourse Communities
ISBN: 9780080438931 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This text describes how the language used in social interaction evolves from the time the speakers first meet and becomes the in-group code of a given discourse community (in this case the academic community). Most studies reported in the literature of the language of groups and intimates until now have been global, imprecise or unsystematic, and have described the language as a product at a given time; no systematic study appears to have been carried out to follow through the interactions of individuals as they form a group, to discover precisely how and why language changes over time as...

On the Nature of the Syntax-Phonology Interface: Cliticization and Related Phenomena
ISBN: 9780080439358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The theoretical domain of investigation of this volume is the nature of the syntax-phonology interface. The empirical domain of investigation is cliticization in South Slavic. The volume also examines several phenomena that raise theoretical issues related to those involved in South Slavic cliticization, namely, multiple wh-fronting in Slavic and Romanian, Germanic V-2, object shift and stylistic fronting in Scandinavian, and negation in Romance. The central theoretical questions considered in the volume are how syntax and phonology interact with each other and whether PF can affect word...

Semantic and Pragmatic Issues in Discourse and Dialogue
ISBN: 9780080439433 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume addresses contemporary issues in the semantics and the pragmatics of discourse and dialogue. Collected papers aim at providing insights on different theoretical approaches, all of them in the dynamic semantics tradition, such as Dynamic Predicate Logic (DPL), Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT). They reflect the current move of formal semantics from short multisentential texts towards structured discourses and dialogues, accounting for more and more phenomena at the semantics-pragmatics interface (such as subtleties of...

Pragmatics and the Flexibility of Word Meaning
ISBN: 9780080439716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recently, the investigation of word meaning in utterances has connected two different fields: lexical semantics and pragmatics. A new linguistic discipline, namely lexical pragmatics, is emerging. The eleven papers of the present book constitute a unit in the sense that they have a common aim: to explore the interaction between lexical semantics and pragmatics. The authors examine phenomena such as productive sense extension, regular polysemy, multifunctionality, implicit arguments and predicates, and non-typical anaphoric pronouns, on the basis of linguistic data, for instance, from English,...

Reporting Discourse, Tense and Cognition
ISBN: 9780080440415 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Reporting discourse has attracted rigorous analyses in linguistics, literary theory, cognitive psychology, sociology and ethnomethodology. This book provides analyses of controversial topics in reporting discourse like tense alternation, reporting styles, patterns and functions. After critically examining existing theories, Tomoko I. Sakita offers new theoretical perspectives and empirical analyses within the scope of actual language performance. Her analysis covers tenses that previous studies have neglected or have considered "ungrammatical" or "mistaken." Based on models of cognitive...

Adjectives, Number and Interfaces: Why Languages Vary
ISBN: 9780080440552 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A study of why languages vary the way they do in the domain of adjectival modification in French as contrasted with other Indo-European languages (English, Celtic, Walloon, Romanian, Italian). Rejecting previous well-known analyses in terms of syntactic movement to various functional heads, the author proposes a model in which external properties of interfaces are the foundations from which the variation is derived. Limiting severely the technical apparatus of syntax, the author argues that the properties of number at the interfaces are shown to provide a simple and precise solution for...

Meaning: the Dynamic Turn
ISBN: 9780080441870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent decades, many theories of formal semantics of natural language have undergone what can be called a dynamic turn: they have moved from treating language as a static system to considering it 'in action' and to taking meanings as crucially involving 'context-change potentials'. The theories, however, usually concentrate much more on the hows of the turn than on its whys; and as a result, the conceptual foundations of dynamic semantics are much less elaborated than its technical side. This book, based on a conference held in Prague in September 2001, is a contribution to filling this...

Unravelling the Evolution of Language
ISBN: 9780080443188 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What blocks the way to a better understanding of language evolution, it is widely held, is above all a paucity of factual evidence. Not so, argues Unravelling the Evolution of Language. This book finds the main obstacle, instead, in a poverty of a specific kind of theory--restrictive theory. It shows, too, that this poverty of restrictive theory is one of the root causes of the paucity of factual evidence. "Unravelling..".takes it that a theory of a thing T--for example, language--is restrictive if it gives us a basis for distinguishing T in a non-arbitrary way from all things that are...

Numerous Meanings
ISBN: 9780080445571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Outlandish as it may seem to the uninitiated, the meaning of English cardinal numbers has been the object of many heated and fascinating debates. Notwithstanding the numerous important objections that have been formulated in the last three decades, the (neo-)Gricean, scalar account is still the standard semantic description of numerals. In this book, Bultinck writes the history of this implicature-driven approach and demonstrates that it suffers from methodological insecurity and postulates highly non-conventional meanings of numerals as their "literal meaning," while it confuses the level of...

Shifting the Focus
ISBN: 9780080445779 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How direct is the mapping between linguistic constructions and their interpretations? Much less direct than we commonly assume, according to Daniel Wedgwood. Extending current ideas from frameworks like Relevance Theory and Dynamic Syntax, Wedgwood upholds a radical position on modelling linguistic competence: the idea of interfacing static syntactic and semantic representations must be abandoned in favour of models of the incremental construction of meaning during parsing - which may involve significant pragmatic enrichment. In illustration, Wedgwood presents a detailed study of a key...

Pragmatic Markers in Contrast
ISBN: 9780080446769 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Building on the first volume in the Studies in Pragmatics series which clearly set out the differences and similarities in approaches to discourse markers, Pragmatic Markers in Contrast continues the debate through offering a unique and thorough examination of the methods and theories for studying pragmatic markers cross-linguistically. As a result of internationalisation and new developments in linguistics there has been an increasing interest in cross-linguistic studies. Aijmer and Simon-Vandenbergen have assembled experts in this field to explore the comparison of pragmatic...

Writing and Cognition: Research and Applications
ISBN: 9780080450940 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 377 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Writing is central to the functioning of developed societies. However, the psychological processes that allow us to transform complex ideas into language and express them on paper or computer screen are poorly understood. Writing and Cognition goes some way towards remedying this. It describes new and diverse work both by field leaders and by newer researchers exploring the complex relationships between language, the mind, and the environments in which writers work. Chapters range in focus from a detailed analysis of single-word production to the writing of whole texts. They explore...
