The Syllable in Optimality Theory
ISBN: 9780521087889 / Angielski / Miękka / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Discourse Potential of Underspecified Structures
ISBN: 9783110205732 / Angielski / Twarda / 635 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Underspecification is demonstrated in the word formation of Indo-European, Late Archaic Chinese and modern Khmer; on the word- and sentence levels by the event structures of German; and in the information structure predominantly of languages with the so-called free word order: German, Slavic languages, Arabic compared with English and the...

ISBN: 9780199263912 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Its reformulation of how grammar and lexicon interact has profound implications for linguistic, philosophical, and psychological theories about human mind and language.

This book presents an investigation of a number of areas of interest in the study of language change, dealing in particular with questions of how patterns of pronunciation vary across both time and space. Most of the illustrative material is drawn from non-standard dialects of English, especially the varieties spoken in Ireland (Hiberno-English).

How do social and political pressures influence the resolution of competition between...

In this major work he analyses in depth and in detail all the prosodic features of these languages: length of vowels and quantity of syllables, accent, pitch, stress and 'rhythm', with special attention to their manifestations in verse. The description and explanation of such features raise theoretical problems of very general importance and Professor Allen devotes the first part of the book to the establishment of the phonetic...
