Semantic Leaps: Frame-Shifting and Conceptual Blending in Meaning Construction
ISBN: 9780521027830 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Semantic Leaps explores how people combine knowledge from different domains in order to understand and express new ideas. Concentrating on dynamic aspects of on-line meaning construction, Coulson identifies two related sets of processes: frame-shifting and conceptual blending. By addressing linguistic phenomena often ignored in traditional meaning research, Coulson explains how processes of cross-domain mapping, frame-shifting, and conceptual blending enhance the explanatory adequacy of traditional frame-based systems for natural language processing. The focus is on how the constructive...

Lexical Semantics
ISBN: 9780521276436 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Lexical Semantics is about the meaning of words. Although obviously a central concern of linguistics, the semantic behaviour of words has been unduly neglected in the current literature, which has tended to emphasize sentential semantics and its relation to formal systems of logic. In this textbook D. A. Cruse establishes in a principled and disciplined way the descriptive and generalizable facts about lexical relations that any formal theory of semantics will have to encompass. Among the topics covered in depth are idiomaticity, lexical ambiguity, synonymy, hierarchical relations such as...

Semantic Theory
ISBN: 9780521292092 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Semantics is a bridge discipline between linguistics and philosophy; but linguistics student are rarely able to reach that bridge, let alone cross it to inspect and assess the activity on the other side. Professor Kempson's textbook seeks particularly to encourage such exchanges. She deals with the standard linguistic topics like componential analysis, semantic universals and the syntax-semantics controversy. But she also provides for students with no training in philosophy or logic an introduction to such central topics in the philosophy of language as logical form, truth, speech acts,...

Pragmatics
ISBN: 9780521294140 / Angielski / Miękka / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Those aspects of language use that are crucial to an understanding of language as a system, and especially to an understanding of meaning, are the acknowledged concern of linguistic pragmatics. This textbook provides a lucid and integrative analysis of the central topics in pragmatics - deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech acts, and conversational structure. A central concern of the book is the relation between pragmatics and semantics, and Dr Levinson shows clearly how a pragmatic approach can resolve some of the problems semantics have been confronting and simplifying semantic...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This accessible introduction to formal, and especially Montague, semantics within a linguistic framework, presupposes no previous background in logic, but takes students step-by-step from simple predicate/argument structures and their interpretation to Montague's intentional logic.

Reference and Computation: An Essay in Applied Philosophy of Language
ISBN: 9780521399821 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book deals with a major problem in the study of language: the problem of reference. The ease with which we refer to things in conversation is deceptive. Upon closer scrutiny, it turns out that we hardly ever tell each other explicitly what object we mean, although we expect our interlocutor to discern it. Amichai Kronfeld provides an answer to two questions associated with this: how do we successfully refer, and how can a computer be programmed to achieve this? Beginning with the major theories of reference, Dr Kronfeld provides a consistent philosophical view which is a synthesis of...

From Etymology to Pragmatics: Metaphorical and Cultural Aspects of Semantic Stucture
ISBN: 9780521424424 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book offers a new approach to the analysis of the multiple meanings of English modals, conjunctions, conditionals, and perception verbs. Although such ambiguities cannot easily be accounted for by feature-analyses of word meaning, Eve Sweetser's argument shows that they can be analyzed both readily and systematically. Meaning relationships in general cannot be understood independently of human cognitive structure, including the metaphorical and cultural aspects of that structure. Sweetser shows that both lexical polysemy and pragmatic ambiguity are shaped by our metaphorical folk...

Computational Linguistics and Formal Semantics
ISBN: 9780521429887 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This collection takes the exciting step of examining natural language phenomena from the perspectives of both computational linguistics and formal semantics. Computational linguistics has until now been primarily concerned with the construction of computational models for handling the complexities of linguistic form, but has not tackled the questions of representing or computing meaning. Formal semantics, on the other hand, has attempted to account for the relations between forms and meanings, without necessarily attending to computational concerns. Computational Linguistics and Formal...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Linguistic Semantics: An Introduction is the successor to Sir John Lyons' important textbook Language, Meaning and Context (1981). While preserving the general structure of the earlier book, the author has substantially expanded its scope to introduce several topics that were not previously discussed, and to take account of new developments in linguistic semantics over the past decade. The resulting work is an invaluable guide to the subject, offering clarifications of its specialized terms and explaining its relationship to formal and philosophical and to contemporary semantics and...

Discourse Structure and Anaphora: Written and Conversational English
ISBN: 9780521439909 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Barbara Fox's thoughtful study examines the use of anaphora in written and spoken discourse. Any treatment of anaphora must consider the hierarchical structure of its source text-types. Texts may be produced and heard or read linearly, but they are designed and understood hierarchically. Discourse structure and anaphora goes beyond the information processing concerns of cognitive science to assess the critical role played in all text-types by social, interactional and affective factors. It also takes into consideration the fact that texts are organised by socially accepted conventions. Using...

Language in the World: A Philosophical Enquiry
ISBN: 9780521445627 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) What makes the words we speak mean what they do? Possible-worlds semantics articulates the view that the meanings of words contribute to determining, for each sentence, which possible worlds would make the sentence true, and which would make it false. M.J. Cresswell argues that the non-semantic facts on which such semantic facts supervene are facts about the causal interactions between the linguistic behaviour of speakers and the facts in the world that they are speaking about, and that the kind of causation involved is best analyzed using David Lewis's account of causation in terms of...

The Semantic Tradition from Kant to Carnap: To the Vienna Station
ISBN: 9780521447072 / Angielski / Miękka / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This major publication is a history of the semantic tradition in philosophy from the early nineteenth century through its incarnation in the work of the Vienna Circle, the group of logical positivists that emerged in the years 1925 1935 in Vienna who were characterised by a strong commitment to empiricism, a high regard for science, and a conviction that modern logic is the primary tool of analytic philosophy. In the first part of the book, Alberto Coffa traces the roots of logical positivism in a semantic tradition that arose in opposition to Kant's theory that a priori knowledge is based on...

Mental Spaces: Aspects of Meaning Construction in Natural Language
ISBN: 9780521449496 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) First published in 1985 (MIT Press), Fauconnier's influential book, Mental Spaces, was instrumental in shaping the new field of cognitive linguistics. The concept of mental spaces--that we develop constructs during discourse that are distinct from linguistic constructs but are established by linguistic expressions--provides a powerful new approach to problems in philosophy and cognitive science concerning thought and language. It includes a new preface that provides context for the theory, and a new foreword by George Lakoff and Eve Sweetser (both of U.C. Berkeley).

Using Language
ISBN: 9780521561587 / Angielski / Twarda / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Herbert Clark argues that language use is more than the sum of a speaker speaking and a listener listening. It is the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners, writers and readers perform their individual actions in coordination, as ensembles. In contrast to work within the cognitive sciences, which has seen language use as an individual process, and to work within the social sciences, which has seen it as a social process, the author argues strongly that language use embodies both individual and social processes.
