Intonation
ISBN: 9780521591829 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When published in 1986, this book was the first to survey intonation in all its aspects, both in English and universally. In this updated edition, while the basic descriptive facts of the form and use of intonation are presented in the British nuclear tone tradition, there is nevertheless extensive comparison with other theoretical frameworks, in particular with the ToBI framework, which has become widespread in the United States. The author has expanded the sections on historical background, different theoretical approaches and sociolinguistic variation. Intonation remains a basic reference...

Definiteness
ISBN: 9780521368353 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Definiteness is the concept expressed by definite articles such as "the," and also by other expressions such as demonstratives ("this," "that") and personal pronouns. This textbook surveys such expressions in the many languages of the world, and also examines the theoretical literature on this aspect of grammar, to establish what definiteness is and how languages can express it.

Introduction to the Grammar of English
ISBN: 9780521297042 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This textbook provides a thorough and precise account of all the major areas of English grammar. For practical reasons the author concentrates on Standard English and only selected aspects of its regional variation. The book is written for students who may have no previous knowledge of linguistics and little familiarity with 'traditional' grammar. All grammatical terms, whether traditional or more recent, are therefore carefully explained, and in the first three chapters the students is introduced to the theoretical concepts and methodological principles needed to follow the later descriptive...

English Word-Formation
ISBN: 9780521284929 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Interest in word-formation is probably as old as interest in language itself. As Dr Bauer points out in his Introduction, many of the questions that scholars are asking now were also being asked in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, there is still little agreement on methodology in the study of word-formation or theoretical approaches to it; even the kind of data relevant to its study is open to debate. Dr Bauer here provides students and general linguists alike with a new perspective on what is a confused and often controversial field of study, providing a...

The Syntax of Adjuncts
ISBN: 9780521028189 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book proposes a theory of the distribution of adverbial adjuncts in a Principles and Parameters framework, claiming that there are few syntactic principles specific to adverbials; rather, for the most part, adverbials adjoin freely to any projection. A wide range of adverbial types is analyzed; predicational adverbs (such as manner, and modal adverbs), domain expressions such as financially, temporal, frequency, duration, and focusing adverbials; participant PP's (e.g. locatives and benefactives); resultative and conditional clauses, and others, taken primarily from English, Chinese,...

Phonology and Language Use
ISBN: 9780521533782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Referencing new developments in cognitive and functional linguistics, phonetics, and connectionist modeling, this book investigates various ways in which a speaker/hearer's experience with language affects the representation of phonology. Rather than assuming phonological representations in terms of phonemes, Joan Bybee adopts an exemplar model, in which specific tokens of use are stored and categorized phonetically with reference to variables in the context. This model allows an account of phonetically gradual sound change that produces lexical variation, and provides an explanatory account...

Syntax and Parsing
ISBN: 9780521024099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this examination of the role of syntax in theories of sentence comprehension, Paul Gorrell argues for a distinct processing component that is devoted to the recovery of syntactic structure and that utilizes the contrasting types of information found within a GovernmentSHBinding grammar. He contrasts the primary and secondary relations in a phrase-structure tree, and shows how this distinction is reflected in the internal structure of the parser, a model that can also predict garden-path phenomena in the processing of verb-final clauses.

Principles of English Stress
ISBN: 9780521445139 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this provocative work, Luigi Burzio argues that many common assumptions within stress theory, and phonological theory more generally, are in fact rather arbitrary. He proposes radical departures from recent tradition. In Part I he analyzes stress in the underived English lexicon, arguing that the basic accentual groups or "feet" are not monosyllabic or bisyllabic, as often assumed, but rather bisyllabic or trisyllabic. This analysis brings significant simplifications to other recent theorizing, including the elimination of standard extrametrically and all rules destressing. In Part II...

Second Language Acquisition and Universal Grammar
ISBN: 9780521792059 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This authoritative textbook is an overview and analysis of current second language acquisition research, conducted within the generative linguistic framework. It argues for a role for Universal Grammar in second language acquisition. Theories as to the role of Universal Grammar and the extent of language transfer are presented along with relevant empirical research. Properties of early developmental stage grammars are examined, as well as the nature of the final outcome of the acquisition process.

Person
ISBN: 9780521776691 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Drawing on data from over five hundred languages, Anna Siewierska compares the use of person within and across different languages, and examines the factors underlying variation. Siewierska demonstrates how person forms vary in substance (how large they are), in the nature of the semantic distinctions they convey (e.g., gender, number, case), and in their use in sentences and discourse. The textbook covers the grammatical category of person, which includes the first person (the speaker), the second person (the hearer), and the third person (neither the speaker nor the hearer).

ISBN: 9780521025126 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Dravidian languages are spoken by nearly 200 million people in South Asia and in diaspora communities around the world. They include Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu, as well as over 20 non-literary languages. Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, one of the most eminent Dravidianists of our time, provides a linguistic overview of the Dravidian language family. He describes its history and writing system, discusses its structure and typology, and considers its lexicon. Distant and more recent contacts between Dravidian and other language groups are also covered.

The Dynamics of Focus Structure
ISBN: 9780521024174 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. All modes of perception (vision, hearing, etc.) are organized into foreground or focus and background constituents. Natural language sentences are no different. This book explores the role of focusing in natural language sentences and the role of this basic cognitive mechanism in explaining sentence stress, meaning and structure. The result is an innovative view of our linguistic competence.

Grammatical Voice
ISBN: 9780521369046 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Categories of the verb in natural languages include tense, aspect, modality (mood) and voice. Among these, voice, in its rich and diverse manifestations, is perhaps the most complex. But most prior research concentrates on only certain types, predominantly passives. Voice expresses relations between a predicate and a set of nominal positions - or their referents - in a clause or other structure. Grammatical Voice is the first typological study of voice systems based on a multi-language survey. It introduces a threefold classification of voice types, in the first place distinguishing...

A Performance Theory of Order and Constituency
ISBN: 9780521378673 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this major new book, John A. Hawkins presents a new theory of linear ordering in syntax. He argues that processing can provide a simple, functional explanation for syntactic rules of ordering, as well as for the selection among ordering variants in languages and structures in which variation is possible. Insights from generative syntax, typological studies of language universals, and psycholinguistic studies of language processing are combined to show that there is a profound correspondence between performance and grammar.
