Semantics and Cognition
ISBN: 9780262600132 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book emphasizes the role of semantics as a bridge between the theory of language and the theories of other cognitive capacities such as visual perception and motor control. It develops the position that the study of semantics of natural language is the study of the structure of thought, and that grammatical structure offers a much more important source of evidence for the theory of cognition than is often supposed by linguists, philosophers, psychologists, or computer scientists.

The Mesoamerican Indian Languages
ISBN: 9780521296694 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At least a hundred indigenous Indian languages are known to have been spoken in Mesoamerica, the cultural area that includes most of Mexico and part of South America, but it is only in the past fifty years that many of them have been adequately described. For some we still have no more than a partial description, often in an obscure source. Professor Suarez draws together this considerable mass of scholarship in a general survey that will provide an invaluable source of reference. The approach is primarily descriptive, and a major part of the volume is concerned with synchronic descriptions...

The Syntax of Icelandic
ISBN: 9780521597906 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Icelandic is a syntactically interesting language, with aspects of its word order, clause structure, agreement patterns and case system arousing much theoretical interest and debate in recent years. This is an informative and accessible guide to the structure of Icelandic, focusing in particular on those characteristics that have contributed greatly to syntactic research. Each chapter is divided into two main sections - providing both a descriptive overview and a discussion of the theoretical and comparative issues involved - and a wide range of topics are covered, including case, agreement,...

Definiteness
ISBN: 9780521368353 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Definiteness is the concept expressed by definite articles such as "the," and also by other expressions such as demonstratives ("this," "that") and personal pronouns. This textbook surveys such expressions in the many languages of the world, and also examines the theoretical literature on this aspect of grammar, to establish what definiteness is and how languages can express it.

Restrictiveness in Case Theory
ISBN: 9780521026550 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Henry Smith develops a theory of syntactic case and examines its synchronic and diachronic consequences. Within a unification-based framework, he draws out pervasive patterns in the relationship between morphosyntax "linking" and grammatical function. Beginning with a detailed study of dative substitution in Icelandic, the author moves on to examine a wide array of synchronic and diachronic data and to construct a typology of case.

Person
ISBN: 9780521776691 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Drawing on data from over five hundred languages, Anna Siewierska compares the use of person within and across different languages, and examines the factors underlying variation. Siewierska demonstrates how person forms vary in substance (how large they are), in the nature of the semantic distinctions they convey (e.g., gender, number, case), and in their use in sentences and discourse. The textbook covers the grammatical category of person, which includes the first person (the speaker), the second person (the hearer), and the third person (neither the speaker nor the hearer).

Switch-Reference and Discourse Representation
ISBN: 9780521402293 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In central cases of switch-reference, a marker on the verb of one clause is used to indicate whether its subject has the same or different reference from the subject of an adjacent, syntactically-related clause. In central cases of logophoricity, a special pronoun form is used within a reported speech context to indicate coherence with the source of reported speech. Lesley Stirling argues that these types of anaphoric linkage across clause boundaries cannot be adequately accounted for by Binding Theory. Her detailed examination of the two phenomena, including a case study of the Papuan...

English Word-Formation
ISBN: 9780521284929 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Interest in word-formation is probably as old as interest in language itself. As Dr Bauer points out in his Introduction, many of the questions that scholars are asking now were also being asked in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, there is still little agreement on methodology in the study of word-formation or theoretical approaches to it; even the kind of data relevant to its study is open to debate. Dr Bauer here provides students and general linguists alike with a new perspective on what is a confused and often controversial field of study, providing a...

The Syntax of Negation
ISBN: 9780521023481 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this new book Liliane Haegeman presents an account of sentential negation within a Government and Binding framework. Building on the work of Klima and Lasnik, Haegeman demonstrates the parallelism between negative sentences and interrogative sentences, and gives a unified analysis in terms of a well-formedness condition on syntactic representations: the AFFECT criterion, instantiated as the WH criterion in interrogative sentences and as the NEG criterion in negative sentences. It is shown that in the same way that in many languages the WH criterion gives rise to WH movement, the NEG...

Intonation
ISBN: 9780521591829 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When published in 1986, this book was the first to survey intonation in all its aspects, both in English and universally. In this updated edition, while the basic descriptive facts of the form and use of intonation are presented in the British nuclear tone tradition, there is nevertheless extensive comparison with other theoretical frameworks, in particular with the ToBI framework, which has become widespread in the United States. The author has expanded the sections on historical background, different theoretical approaches and sociolinguistic variation. Intonation remains a basic reference...

Second Language Acquisition
ISBN: 9780521317023 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This 1986 textbook presents an account of the main concerns, problems and theoretical and practical issues raised by second language acquisition research. Research in this field had been mainly pedagogically oriented, but since the 1970s linguists and psychologists have become increasingly interested in the principles that underlie second language acquisition for the light these throw on how human language processing functions in general. Moreover, it is only through an understanding of these principles that foreign language teaching can become maximally effective. In the first part of his...

Syntax and Parsing
ISBN: 9780521024099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this examination of the role of syntax in theories of sentence comprehension, Paul Gorrell argues for a distinct processing component that is devoted to the recovery of syntactic structure and that utilizes the contrasting types of information found within a GovernmentSHBinding grammar. He contrasts the primary and secondary relations in a phrase-structure tree, and shows how this distinction is reflected in the internal structure of the parser, a model that can also predict garden-path phenomena in the processing of verb-final clauses.

Phonology and Language Use
ISBN: 9780521533782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Referencing new developments in cognitive and functional linguistics, phonetics, and connectionist modeling, this book investigates various ways in which a speaker/hearer's experience with language affects the representation of phonology. Rather than assuming phonological representations in terms of phonemes, Joan Bybee adopts an exemplar model, in which specific tokens of use are stored and categorized phonetically with reference to variables in the context. This model allows an account of phonetically gradual sound change that produces lexical variation, and provides an explanatory account...

Morphological Productivity
ISBN: 9780521025157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Morphological productivity has, over the centuries, been a major factor in providing the huge vocabulary of English and remains one of the most contested areas in the study of word formation and structure. This book takes an eclectic approach to the topic, applying the findings for morphology to syntax and phonology. Bringing together the results of twenty years' work in the field, it provides new insights and considers a wide range of linguistic and psycholinguistic evidence.
