In addition, he uncovers the hidden influence of speechwriters and the... Perhaps more than anyone else, politicians are what they say and how they say it.

Western Linquistics
ISBN: 9780631208914 / Angielski / Miękka / 588 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a vital student resource - a single-volume critical survey of the complete history of Western theoretical linguistics (grammar and semantics, including logic) from Plato till today.
The volume concentrates on those issues that are of central concern to present-day theoretical linguistics, but also draws attention to episodes and issues that have unjustifiably slid into oblivion, such as the 18th century French grammarians or the great subject-predicate debate between 1850 and 1930. An effort has also been made to interpret events and developments in linguistic...

Storage and Computation in the Language Faculty
ISBN: 9781402005275 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every now and again I receive a lengthy manuscript from a kind of theoretician known to psychiatrists as the "triangle people" - kooks who have independently discovered that everything in the universe comes in threes (solid, liquid, gas; protons, neutrons, electrons; the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost; Moe, Larry, Curly; and so on) . At the risk of sounding like a triangle person, let me explain why I think that the topic of this volume - - storage and computation in the language fac ulty - though having just two sides rather than three, is the key to understanding every interesting issue in...

Peripheries: Syntactic Edges and Their Effects
ISBN: 9781402019098 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The syntactic periphery has become one of the most important areas of research in syntactic theory in recent years, due to the emergence of new research programmes initiated by Rizzi, Kayne and Chomsky. However research has concentrated on the empirical nature of clausal peripheries. The purpose of this volume is to explore the question of whether the notion of periphery has any real theoretical bite. An important consensus emerging from the volume is that the edges of certain syntactic expressions appear to be the locus of the connection between phrase structure, prosody, and information...
