Beyond Rhetorical Questions: Assertive Questions in Everyday Interaction
ISBN: 9789027226266 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book uses Conversation Analysis methodology to analyze rhetorical and other questions that are designed to convey assertions, rather than seek new information.

The questions are used across these widely different contexts to perform a number of related social actions such as accusations, challenges to prior turns, and complaints. Those used in...

Limiting the Arbitrary: Linguistic Naturalism and Its Opposites in Plato's "Cratylus" and Modern Theories of Language
ISBN: 9789027245854 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea that some aspects of language are natural, while others are arbitrary, artificial or derived, runs all through modern linguistics, from Chomsky s GB theory and Minimalist program and his concept of E- and I-language, to Greenberg s search for linguistic universals, Pinker s views on regular and irregular morphology and the brain, and the markedness-based constraints of Optimality Theory. This book traces the heritage of this linguistic naturalism back to its locus classicus, Plato s dialogue "Cratylus." The first half of the book is a detailed examination of the linguistic arguments...

The Rise of Functional Categories
ISBN: 9789027227294 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, word order has come to be seen, within a Minimalist framework, as determined by functional as well as lexical categories. Within this framework, functional categories are often seen as present in every language without evidence being available in that language. This book contains arguments that even though Universal Grammar makes functional categories available, the language learner must decide whether or not to incorporate them in his or her grammar. For instance, it shows that English has one (not two as often assumed) functional category between the complementizer and the...

Linguistics and Pseudo-Linguistics
ISBN: 9789027235497 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The doctrines of transformational-generative grammar (as promulgated in 1957, with frequent later emendations) have on occasion been criticised, sometimes severely. Such criticism have, however, appeared mostly in article-form, and mostly in relatively inaccessible places. Discussions in bookform have been rare. In this book, the criticism offered by Professor Hall over more than twenty years have been brought together. They cover the range of linguistic structure (phonology, morphosyntax, and semantics), general theory, and the history of linguistics. In these essays, the many short-comings...

ISBN: 9789027220622 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout the years the extent of the contributions by A. Dees to the renewal of philology, has become progressively more evident.

A comparison of the data of the two Atlases compiled by Dees with the manuals of Old French shows the extraordinary richness of these Atlases with respect to both the visual representation and the documentation not used previously. The first section of this volume is...

Categorization in the History of English

The papers in this volume are linked by a common concern, which is at the centre of current linguistic enquiry: how do we classify and categorize linguistic data, and how does this process add to our understanding of linguistic change? The scene is set by Aitchison's paper on the development of linguistic categorization over the past few decades, followed by Biggam's critical overview of theoretical developments in colour semantics. Lexical classification in action is discussed in papers by Fischer, Kay and Sylvester on the structures of thesauruses, while detailed treatments of particular...
