Semantic Syntax: Second Revised Edition
ISBN: 9789004354302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents a detailed formal machinery for the conversion of the Semantic Analyses (SAs) of sentences into surface structures of English, French, German, Dutch, and to some extent Turkish. The SAs are propositional structures consisting of a predicate and one, two or three argument terms, some of which can themselves be propositional structures. The surface structures are specified up to, but not including, the morphology. The book is thus an implementation of the programme formulated first by Albert Sechehaye (1870-1946) and then, independently, by James McCawley (1938-1999) in the...

Saussure and Sechehaye: Myth and Genius: A Study in the History of Linguistics and the Foundations of Language
ISBN: 9789004378148 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, Pieter Seuren argues that Ferdinand de Saussure has been grossly overestimated over the past century, while his junior colleague Albert Sechehaye has been undeservedly ignored. Saussure was anything but the great innovator he is generally believed to be. Sechehaye was a genius providing many trenchant analyses and anticipating many modern insights. The lives and works of both men are discussed in detail and they are placed in the cultural, intellectual and social environment of their day. Much attention is paid to the theoretical issues involved, in particular to the notion and...

Language in Cognition: Language from Within Volume I
ISBN: 9780199559473 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Language in Cognition argues that language is based on the human construal of reality. Humans refer to and quantify over virtual entities with the same ease as they do over actual entities: the natural ontology of language, the author argues, must therefore comprise both actual and virtual entities and situations. He reformulates speech act theory, suggesting that the primary function of language is less the transfer of information than the establishing of socially binding commitments or appeals based on the proposition expressed. This leads him first to a new analysis of the systems and...

Semantic Syntax
ISBN: 9780631160069 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents and exemplifies the theory of grammar called Semantic Syntax. The grammar, which offers a syntactic theory closely connected with semantic analyses, is a direct continuation of Generative Semantics; it will re-ignite interest in that framework which flourished and promised so much in the 1960s and 1970s.

A Refutation of Positivism in Philosophy of Mind: Thinking, Reality, and Language
ISBN: 9781032493688 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book argues that positivism, though now the dominant paradigm for both the natural and the human sciences, is intrinsically unfit for the latter. In particular, it is unfit for linguistics and cognitive science, where it is ultimately self-destructive, since it fails to account for causality, while the mind, the primary object of research of the human sciences, cannot be understood unless considered to be an autonomous causal force.
Author Pieter Albertus Maria Seuren, who died shortly after this manuscript was finished and after a remarkable career, reviews the history of this issue...

From Whorf to Montague: Explorations in the Theory of Language
ISBN: 9780199682195 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book explores the relations between language, the world, the minds of individual speakers, and the collective minds of particular language communities. Pieter Seuren examines the status of abstract rule systems underlying speech and considers how much computational power may be attributed to the human mind. The book opens with chapters on the social reality of language, the ancient question of the primacy of language or thought, and the relation between universal and language-specific features. Professor Seuren then considers links between language, logic, and mathematics: he suggests...

Chomsky's Minimalism
ISBN: 9780195173062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Noam Chomsky's current theory, published in 1995, is known as The Minimalist Program and has been presented as his crowning achievement. It argues, familiarly, that there exists a universal grammar that is hardwired, and that, like an efficient machine, this grammar will tend to use the least possible number of constraints (phonetically and syntactically) to produce an utterance. Minimalism has spawned in linguistics an entire research program, despite being fundamentally misguided, according to distinguished linguist and philosopher of language Pieter Seuren. Seuren's accessible...

The Logic of Language: Language from Within Volume II
ISBN: 9780199559480 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Logic of Language opens a new perspective on logic. Pieter Seuren argues that the logic of language derives from the lexical meanings of the logical operators. These meanings, however, prove not to be consistent. Seuren solves this problem through an indepth analysis of the functional adequacy of natural predicate logic and standard modern logic for natural linguistic interaction. He then develops a general theory of discourse-bound interpretation, covering discourse incrementation, anaphora, presupposition and topic-comment structure, all of which, the author claims, form the 'cement' of...

This book contains a collection of twenty-two papers written by the author between 1972 and 1999, reflecting the development of his highly independent ideas over this period.
