Theory of Aspectuality: The Interaction Between Temporal and Atemporal Structure
ISBN: 9780521564526 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sentences may pertain to states or processes or events. They may express boundedness, duration, repetition, frequency, and many other forms of temporality. How do they do this? Henk Verkuyl presents here a theory about aspectual properties of sentences in natural languages. A Theory of Aspectuality brings together the fruit of his thinking on the subject over the past 20 years, and will interest all those working on aspect and the semantics of noun phrases. It promises to be a major contribution to our understanding of the subject.

Using Language
ISBN: 9780521567459 / Angielski / Miękka / 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.

Information Structure and Sentence Form: Topic, Focus, and the Mental Representations of Discourse Referents
ISBN: 9780521587044 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Why do languages have so many different ways of expressing the same idea? Lambrecht addresses this question through an investigation of the "information structure" of sentences. His analysis is based on the observation that the structure of a sentence reflects a speaker's assumptions about the hearer's state of knowledge and consciousness at the time of the utterance. Four independent but interrelated categories are analyzed: presupposition and assertion, identifiability and activation, topic, and focus.

Conditionals and Prediction: Time, Knowledge and Causation in Conditional Constructions
ISBN: 9780521591515 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book offers a new and in-depth analysis of English conditional sentences. Dancygier classifies conditional constructions according to time-reference and modality. She shows how the basic meaning parameters of conditionality correlate to formal parameters of the linguistic constructions that are used to express them. Focused on English, the study also provides a framework that can be extended to a broad range of grammatical phenomena in many other languages.

Relevance and Linguistic Meaning: The Semantics and Pragmatics of Discourse Markers
ISBN: 9780521640077 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The importance of discourse markers (words like "so," "however," and "well") lies in the theoretical questions they raise about the nature of discourse and the relationship between linguistic meaning and context. Diane Blakemore asserts that the exercise in classification that has dominated discourse marker research should be replaced by the investigation of the way in which linguistic expressions contribute to the inferential processes involved in utterance understanding.

Argument Realization
ISBN: 9780521663762 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The relationship between verbs and their arguments is a widely debated topic in linguistics. This comprehensive survey provides an overview of this important research area, exploring theories of how a verb's semantics can determine the morphosyntactic realization of its arguments. Assuming a close connection between verb meaning and syntactic structure, the analysis constructs a bridge between lexical-semantic and syntactic research. Synthesizing work results from a range of linguistic subdisciplines and a variety of theoretical frameworks, it will be invaluable to research in syntax,...

Grammars of Space: Explorations in Cognitive Diversity
ISBN: 9780521671781 / Angielski / Miękka / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Spatial language - that is, the way languages structure the spatial domain is an important area of research, offering insights into one of the most central areas of human cognition. In this collection, a team of leading scholars review the spatial domain across a wide variety of languages. Contrary to existing assumptions, they show that there is great variation in the way space is conceptually structured across languages, thus substantiating the controversial question of how far the foundations of human cognition are innate. Grammars of Space is a supplement to the psychological information...

The Language of Word Meaning
ISBN: 9780521780483 / Angielski / Twarda / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This volume is a collection of original contributions that address the problem of words and their meaning. This represents a still difficult and controversial area within various disciplines: linguistics, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. Although all of these disciplines have to tackle the issue, so far there is no overarching methodology agreed upon by researchers. The aim of the volume is to provide answers based on empirical linguistics methods that are relevant across all the disciplines and provide a bridge among researchers looking at word meaning from different angles.

Semantic Relations and the Lexicon: Antonymy, Synonymy and Other Paradigms
ISBN: 9780521780674 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book explores how some word meanings are paradigmatically related to each other, for example, as opposites or synonyms, and how they relate to the mental organization of our vocabularies. Traditional approaches claim that such relationships are part of our lexical knowledge (our "dictionary" of mentally stored words) but Lynne Murphy argues that lexical relationships actually constitute our "metalinguistic" knowledge. The book draws on a century of previous research, including word association experiments, child language, and the use of synonyms and antonyms in text.

Mood and Modality
ISBN: 9780521804790 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since the publication of F. R. Palmer's Mood and Modality in 1986, when the topic of "modality" was fairly unfamiliar, there has been considerable interest in the subject as well as in grammatical typology in general. Modality is concerned with mood (subjunctive etc.) and with modal markers such as English modal verbs (can, may, must etc.) and is treated as a single grammatical category found in most of the languages of the world. Palmer investigates this category, drawing on a wealth of examples from a wide variety of languages.

The Semantics of English Prepositions: Spatial Scenes, Embodied Meaning, and Cognition
ISBN: 9780521814300 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Using a cognitive linguistics perspective, this work provides the most comprehensive, theoretical analysis of the semantics of English prepositions available. All English prepositions are originally coded as spatial relations between two physical entities. While retaining their original meaning, prepositions have also developed a rich set of non-spatial meanings. Andrea Tyler and Vyvyan Evans argue that all the meanings are systematically related through a set of cognitive principles, emphasizing the importance of human experience with the world as the foundation for lexical meaning.
