Semantics, Culture, and Cognition: Universal Human Concepts in Culture-Specific Configurations
ISBN: 9780195073263 / Angielski / Miękka / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Not everything that can be said in one language can be said in another. The lexicons of different languages seem to suggest different conceptual universes. Investigating cultures from a universal, language-independent perspective, this book rejects analytical tools derived from the English language and Anglo culture and proposes instead a "natural semantic metalanguage" formulated in English words but based on lexical universals. The outcome of two and a half decades of research, the metalanguage is made up of universal semantic primitives in terms of which all meanings--including the most...

Parts and Wholes in Semantics
ISBN: 9780195095746 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book develops a unified account of expressions involving the notions of "part" and "whole " in which principles of the individuation of part structures play a central role. Moltmann presents a range of new empirical generalizations with data from English and a variety of other languages involving plurals, mass nouns, adnominal and adverbial modifiers such as as a whole, together, and alone, nominal and adverbial quanitfiers ranging over parts, and expressions of completion such as completely and partly. She develops a new theory of part...

Adverbs and Functional Heads: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
ISBN: 9780195115277 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the world's leading syntacticians presents evidence for locating Adverb Phrases in the specifiers of distinct functional projections within a novel and well articulated theory of the clause. In this theory, both adverbs and heads, which encode the functional notions of the clause, are ordered in a rigid sequence. Cinques cutting-edge proposal suggests that the structure of natural language sentences is much richer than previously assumed.

Law and the Language of Identity: Discourse in the William Kennedy Smith Rape Trial
ISBN: 9780195123302 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this volume, Gregory Matoesian uses the notorious 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith to provide an in-depth analysis of language use and its role in that specific trial as well as in the law in general. He draws on the fields of conversation analysis, ethnomethodology, linguistic anthropology and social theory to show how language practices shape--and are shaped by--culture and the law, particularly in the social construction of rape as a legal fact. This analysis examines linguistic strategies from both defense and prosecutorial viewpoints, and how they relate to issues of gender,...

Sentential Negation in French
ISBN: 9780195125917 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first full-length study of sentential negation phenomena in French. Paul Rowlett assesses, from a generative perspective, the respective contribution made to the expression of clausal polarity by ne, pas, and elements such as jamais and personne. His conclusions have far-reaching implications, leading to the controversial hypothesis that, despite widespread belief, French is not a negative concord language.

Speaking of Events
ISBN: 9780195128079 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years the idea that an adequate semantics of ordinary language calls for some theory of events has sparked considerable debate among linguists and philosophers. Speaking of Events offers a vivid and up-to-date indication of this debate, with emphasis precisely on the interplay between linguistic applications and philosophical implications. Each chapter has been written expressly for this volume by leading authors in the field, including Nicholas Asher, Pier Marco Bertinetto, Johannes Brandl, Denis Delfitto, Regine Eckardt, James Higginbotham, Alessandro Lenci, Terence...

Aspect and Predication: The Semantics of Argument Structure
ISBN: 9780198236511 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book investigates the systematic correspondences between syntactic structure and semantic interpretation in the domain of predicate-argument relationships. Taking Scottish Gaelic as its empirical base, the book provides a detailed working out of a semantic system of argument classification which moves away from lexically-driven thematic roles in the traditional sense and towards a more constrained, syntactically motivated, set of primitives.

Lexical Semantics: The Problem of Polysemy
ISBN: 9780198236627 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lexical ambiguity presents one of the most intractable problems for language processing studies and, not surprisingly, it is at the core of research in lexical semantics. Originally published as two special issues of the Journal of Semantics, this collection focuses on the problem of polysemy, from the point of view of practitioners of computational linguistics.

Polysemy: Theoretical and Computational Approaches
ISBN: 9780198238423 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Polysemy is a term used in semantic and lexical analysis to describe a word with multiple meanings. Although such words present few difficulties in everyday communication, they do pose near-intractable problems for linguists and lexicographers. The contributors in this volume consider the implications of these problems for linguistic theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics.

Linguistic Diversity
ISBN: 9780198238577 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There are some 6,500 different languages in the world. This book investigates why diversity arose, how it relates to the origins and evolution of language and culture, and whether the uneven distribution of human languages may be linked with patterns of human geography and history. Daniel Nettle draws on work in anthropology, linguistics, geography, archeology, and evolutionary science to explain linguistic diversity.

Aspects of Semantic Opposition in English
ISBN: 9780198242697 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Antonymy is recognized as an important type of meaning relation in natural language, yet there are very few detailed empirical studies of the topic. Through an analysis of a corpus of forty-three contemporary English-language novels, Mettinger isolates ten syntactic frames within which antonyms are regularly found: these serve as a useful heuristic tool for eliciting opposites from texts. Arguing that there are two kinds of antonyms--systematic and non-systematic opposites--he analyzes numerous pairs of antonyms, highlighting an important semantic relationship.

Minimal Semantics
ISBN: 9780199206926 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Minimal Semantics asks what a theory of literal linguistic meaning is for--if you were to be given a working theory of meaning for a language right now, what would you be able to do with it? Emma Borg sets out to defend a formal approach to semantic theorizing from a relatively new type of opponent--advocates of what she calls "dual pragmatics." According to dual pragmatists, rich pragmatic processes play two distinct roles in linguistic comprehension: as well as operating in a post-semantic capacity to determine the implicatures of an utterance, they also operate prior to the determination...

The Origins of Meaning
ISBN: 9780199207855 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this, the first of two ground-breaking volumes on the nature of language in the light of the way it evolved, James Hurford looks at how the world first came to have a meaning in the minds of animals and how in humans this meaning eventually came to be expressed as language. He reviews a mass of evidence to show how close some animals, especially primates and more especially apes, are to the brink of human language. Apes may not talk to us but they construct rich cognitive representations of the world around them, and here, he shows, are the evolutionary seeds of abstract thought - the...
