For years Richard Lederer has entertained fans of the English language with his keen insights, commonsense advice, and witty patter. Now Lederer and Richard Dowis take readers on another journey through our most "wiggy" of languages. How many times have we all heard the word "viable" used in company meetings? The authors show us how "viable" was at one time extracted from medical books, where it is actually defined as "capable of living," and placed into our consumer marketplace. Then there is confusion between "lay" and "lie," which the authors clear up once and for all. These and dozens...

Understanding Complex Sentences: Native Speaker Variation in Syntactic Competence
ISBN: 9780333986394 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is native speaker variation in understanding complex sentences due to individual differences in working memory capacity or in syntactic competence? The answer to this question has very important consequences for both theoretical and applied concerns in linguistics and education. This book is distinctive in giving an historical and interdisciplinary perspective on the rule- based and experience-based debate and in supporting an integrated account. In the study reported here, variation was found to be due to differences in syntactic competence and the author argues that sentence comprehension...

In several papers the problem of ambiguity is...

Current Morphology provides a thorough and wide-ranging introduction to approaches to morphology within linguistic theory over the last twenty years.

It highlights neglected European theoretical developments, focusing on German-speaking as well as English-speaking countries....

ISBN: 9780415056410 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to make sense of the idea that functional categories are the flesh and blood of grammar. From within the context of the principles and parameters framework put forward by Chomsky and others, Jamal Ouhalla develops the argument that much of what we understand by the term grammar and grammatical variation involves functional categories in a crucial way.

Free Adjuncts and Absolutes in English: Problems of Control and Interpretation
ISBN: 9780415063913 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text presents a corpus-based syntactic, semantic and pragmatic analysis of free adjuncts and absolutes in present-day English. The major function of these constructions is to serve as adverbial clauses, most frequently without any overt specification of which semantic relation (time, cause or condition) they express in a given complex sentence. The main focus of the book is on central problems of their use and interpretation. These include the range of their semantic indeterminacy, the factors that help resolve it, and, for free adjuncts, the identification of their underlying subject...

Three Studies in Locality and Case
ISBN: 9780415108270 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text deals with a central issue in modern linguistic theory: that of locality as expressed in the behaviour of non-overt categories. Grosu presents a detailed study of free relatives, nominal phrases, and a variety of constructions in Rumanian involving mill operators. This work should be of interest not only to linguists working on theoretical issues, but also to linguists interested in descriptive issues. It is estimated that Grosu's original detailed studies of major constructions in Rumanian - a language not yet thoroughly investigated in modern linguistics - will prove formative.

Markku Filppula here challenges this misconception and offers a descriptive and contact-linguistic account of the grammar of Hiberno-English. Drawing on a range of materials documenting Hiberno-English dialects past and present, Filppula examines: the most distinctive grammatical features of these dialects; relationships with earlier and other regional varieties of English; the continuing influence of the Irish language on Hiberno-English; and...
