Mixing Metaphor
ISBN: 9789027202109 / Angielski / Twarda / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mixing metaphors in speech, writing, and even gesture, is traditionally viewed as a sign of inconsistency in thought and language. Despite the prominence of mixed metaphors, there have been surprisingly few attempts to comprehensively explain why people mix their metaphors so frequently and in the particular ways they do. This volume brings together a distinguished group of linguists, psychologists and computer scientists, who tackle the issue of how and why mixed metaphors arise and what communicative purposes they may serve. These scholars, almost unanimously, argue that mixing metaphors is...

Nonagentive Konstruktionen Des Deutschen
ISBN: 9783110494860 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gegenstand dieser Studie sind nonagentive Konstruktionen des Deutschen, die sich mageblich durch die ihnen eigene Perspektivierungsleistung auszeichnen. Sie werden als eigenstandige Formate aufgefasst mit konkreten Formen und spezifischen Bedeutungen. Damit wird das 'Konversenmodell' der 'aktivischen und passivischen Handlungsformen des Verbs' suspendiert. Mit den Konstruktionen der ASKRIPTION, der KOMMUTATION und der AKZEPTATION werden drei Grundtypen modelliert und in einer korpuslinguistischen Studie aus dem Sprachgebrauch rekonstruiert. Dafur wurden uber 18500 systematisch... Gegenstand dieser Studie sind nonagentive Konstruktionen des Deutschen, die sich mageblich durch die ihnen eigene Perspektivierungsleistung auszeic... |

The Cambridge Handbook of Historical Syntax
ISBN: 9781107049604 / Angielski / Twarda / 746 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Change is an inherent feature of all aspects of language, and syntax is no exception. While the synchronic study of syntax allows us to make discoveries about the nature of syntactic structure, the study of historical syntax offers even greater possibilities. Over recent decades, the study of historical syntax has proven to be a powerful scientific tool of enquiry with which to challenge and reassess hypotheses and ideas about the nature of syntactic structure which go beyond the observed limits of the study of the synchronic syntax of individual languages or language families. In this timely...

Corpus-Based Approaches to Construction Grammar
ISBN: 9789027204417 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume brings together empirical Construction Grammar studies to (i) promote cross-fertilization between researchers interested in constructional approaches on various languages, and (ii) further the growing trend towards empirically rigorous research that takes seriously a commitment not only to usage-based theories, but also to usage-based methodologies. Accordingly, the chapters in this volume comprise a range of studies not based on synchronic contemporary English but include Dutch, old English, Italian, and Spanish. This volume also features studies from a wider range...

Interrogative Strategies: An Areal Typology of the Languages of China
ISBN: 9789027201850 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with how to ask questions in the languages of China. The syntactic, morphological, and lexical forms for distinguishing interrogatives take centre stage; intonation is also dealt with, but more peripherally than question particles, disjunctive and negative constructions, and word order. 140 languages spoken in China are covered coming from four major families: Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic, accompanied by a few mixed languages. The approach is areal-typological, i.e. these focal languages are compared to the languages of the world as represented in...

Agreement Beyond Phi
ISBN: 9780262533324 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much attention in theoretical linguistics in the generative and Minimalist traditions is concerned with issues directly or indirectly related to movement. The EPP (extended projection principle), introduced by Chomsky in 1981, appeared to coincide with morphological agreement, and agreement came to play a central role as the driver of movement and other narrow-syntax operations. In this book, Shigeru Miyagawa continues his investigation into a computational equivalent for agreement in agreementless languages such as Japanese. Miyagawa extends his theory of Strong Uniformity,...
