Book Synopsis Grammar and Cognition by : Alexander Haselow
Download or read book Grammar and Cognition written by Alexander Haselow and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together linguistic, psychological and neurological research in a discussion of the Cognitive Dualism Hypothesis, whose central idea is that human cognitive activity in general and linguistic cognition in particular cannot reasonably be reduced to a single, monolithic system of mental processing, but that they have a dualistic organization. Drawing on a wide range of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks that account for how language users mentally represent, process and produce linguistic discourse, the studies in this volume provide a critical examination of dualistic approaches to language and cognition and their impact on a number of fields. The topics range from formulaic language, the study of reasoning and linguistic discourse, and the lexicon–grammar distinction to studies of specific linguistic expressions and structures such as pragmatic markers and particles, comment adverbs, extra-clausal elements in spoken discourse and the processing of syntactic groups.
Book Synopsis Meta-informative Centering in Utterances by : André W?odarczyk
Download or read book Meta-informative Centering in Utterances written by André W?odarczyk and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of information has nowadays become crucial both in our daily life and in many branches of science and technology. In language studies, this notion was used as a technical term for the first time about at least fifty years ago. It is argued, however, that "Old" and "New", used traditionally for characterising information, refer in fact to the meta-informative status of communicated chunks of information. They provide information about other information. Since subjects and objects, as attention-driven phrases, are also related to aboutness, the presented Meta-Informative Centering (MIC) framework includes predication theory. By applying the MIC theory to their analyses of English, German, French, Polish, Russian, Greek, Latin, and Japanese, the authors provide comprehensive explanations of the most puzzling aspects of the pragmatic use of basic universal linguistic categories. It seems clear now that canonical syntactic patterns, their permutations, and diverse transformations do indeed reflect very truly the meta-informative encapsulation of utterances. As a consequence, this book presents new and coherent theoretical solutions as well as their very efficient applications.
Book Synopsis Applicative Morphology by : Sara Pacchiarotti
Download or read book Applicative Morphology written by Sara Pacchiarotti and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about recurrent functions of applicative morphology not included in typologically-oriented definitions. Based on substantial cross-linguistic evidence, it challenges received wisdom on applicatives in several ways. First, in many of the surveyed languages, applicatives are the sole means to introduce a non-Actor semantic role into a clause. When there is an alternative way of expression, the applicative counterpart often has no valence-increasing effect on the targeted root. Second, applicative morphology can introduce constituents which are not syntactic objects and/or co-occur with obliques. Third, functions such as conveying aspectual nuances to the predicate (intensity, repetition, habituality) or its arguments (partitive P, highly individuated P), narrow-focusing constituents, and functioning as category-changing devices are attested in geographically distant and genetically unrelated languages. Further, this volume reveals that spatial-related morphology is prone to developing applicative functions in disparate languages and phyla. Finally, several contributions discuss the diachrony of applicative constructions and their (non-syntactic) attested functions, including a case of applicatives-in-the-making.
Book Synopsis Comparative Germanic Syntax by : Peter Ackema
Download or read book Comparative Germanic Syntax written by Peter Ackema and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 23rd and 24th Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop held at the University of Edinburgh and the Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussels. The contributions provide new perspectives on several topics of current interest for syntactic theory on the basis of comparative data from a wide range of Germanic languages. Among the theoretical and empirical issues explored are various ellipsis phenomena, the internal structure of the DP, the syntax-morphology interface, the syntax-semantics interface, Binding Theory, various diachronic developments, and 'do-support'-type phenomena. This book is of interest to syntacticians with an interest in theoretical, comparative and/or diachronic work, as well as to morphologists and semanticists interested in the connections their fields have with syntax. It will also be of interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in linguistic disciplines.
Book Synopsis Non-finite Complementation by : Thomas Egan
Download or read book Non-finite Complementation written by Thomas Egan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive guide to the way speakers of British English use infinitive and –ing clauses as verbal complements. It contains details of the non-finite complementation patterns of over 300 matrix verbs, with a particular emphasis on verbs that occur with more than one type of non-finite complement. Drawing upon data from the British National Corpus, the author shows that some of the views which are to be found in the existing literature on these sorts of clauses are in conflict with the evidence of actual usage. He also shows that there is actually much more regularity in this area than has often been taken to be the case. Moreover, this regularity is shown to be motivated by cognitive-functional factors. An appendix contains details of the relative frequency of all of the constructions dealt with in the study, together with an example of each of them. The book is of interest to language teachers as well as linguists, both theoretical and applied.
Book Synopsis A Featural Typology of Bantu Agreement by : Jenneke van der Wal
Download or read book A Featural Typology of Bantu Agreement written by Jenneke van der Wal and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores variation in Bantu subject and object marking on the basis of data from 75 Bantu languages. It specifically addresses the question of which features are involved in agreement and nominal licensing, and examines how parametric variation in those features accounts for the settings and patterns that are attested crosslinguistically.
Download or read book Rhapsodie written by Anne Lacheret-Dujour and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the development of Rhapsodie, a 33,000-word syntactic and prosodic treebank of spoken French created with the aim of modeling the interface between prosody, syntax and discourse in spoken French. Theoretical foundations and methodological choices are presented and discussed, and compared with other contemporary approaches. Why is a data-driven instead of a corpus-based approach necessary when one wants to model and analyze discourse without neglecting the features typical of everyday speech, in order to capture not only what we say but also how we say it? How can one show that verbal exchange operates as a collaborative enterprise and how can the specific syntactic and prosodic markers of this collaboration be merged? The description proposed in this collective book is of interest for specialists of spoken French studies, and also for scholars who would like to extend Rhapsodie-like annotation schemes to other languages.
Book Synopsis The Syntactic Licensing of Ellipsis by : Lobke Aelbrecht
Download or read book The Syntactic Licensing of Ellipsis written by Lobke Aelbrecht and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a theory of ellipsis licensing in terms of Agree and applies it to several elliptical phenomena in both English and Dutch. The author makes two main claims: The head selecting the ellipsis site is checked against the head licensing ellipsis in order for ellipsis to occur, and ellipsis i.e., sending part of the structure to PF for non-pronunciation occurs as soon as this checking relation is established. At that point, the ellipsis site becomes inaccessible for further syntactic operations. Consequently, this theory explains the limited extraction data displayed by Dutch modals complement ellipsis as well as British English "do" These ellipses allow subject extraction out of the ellipsis site, but not object extraction. The analysis also extends to phenomena that do not display such a restricted extraction, such as sluicing, VP ellipsis, and pseudogapping. Hence, this work is a step towards a unified analysis of ellipsis."

Book Synopsis Linguistic Approaches to Emotions in Context by : Fabienne Baider
Download or read book Linguistic Approaches to Emotions in Context written by Fabienne Baider and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new issues in the study of the interface of emotions and language, and their use in social context. Two fundamental questions are tackled: the way different languages encode emotional information and the core role emotions play in languages' structure, use and learning. Seldom treated means of expressing emotions (such as interjections, conditionals, scalarity, allocentric constructions), the social and professional impact of emotions and the latest developments in the interface of speech recognition / emotions are some of the key contributions to this volume. The cross-cultural perspective contrasts new couples of languages (among which Australian aboriginal languages, Cypriot Greek, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, Russian) and addresses sociolinguistic, pragmatic and discursive issues. Most of the papers attempt interesting theoretical articulations that aim at a better understanding of the linguistic and sociolinguistic nature of emotions. This book will be highly relevant for students and researchers interested in emotions, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, as well as prosody and philosophy of language.

Book Synopsis Les constructions sérielles en fon by : Renée Lambert-Bretière
Download or read book Les constructions sérielles en fon written by Renée Lambert-Bretière and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage porte sur la description d'un aspect syntaxique problematique de la grammaire fon : la serialisation verbale. Le fon est une langue kwa (groupe gbe), parlee principalement dans le sud du Benin par pres de 2 millions de locuteurs. La serialisation verbale est un phenomene linguistique largement observe dans les langues d'Afrique de l'Ouest comme le fon et dans d'autres langues typologiquement variees. Apres avoir presente un apercu de la grammaire du fon et un tour de la question concernant la serialisation verbale, l'auteure se consacre a l'examen des constructions serielles en fon dans une approche typologique et fonctionnelle, integrant des parametres semantiques et pragmatiques a l'analyse morphosyntaxique. Neuf types de constructions serielles sont etudies : les causatives, les instrumentales, les directionnelles, les comitatives, les comparatives, les aspectuelles, les resultatives, les sequentielles et les compositionnelles. L'ouvrage apporte une contribution typologique a trois niveaux. Premierement, il propose un modele pour aborder la description de la serialisation verbale dans d'autres langues. Deuxiemement, il contribue a enrichir la typologie des constructions serielles en precisant pour le fon leurs fonctions, leurs origines possibles et les correlats conceptuels lies a leur utilisation. Enfin il montre que l'etude des constructions serielles permet de raffiner les typologies actuelles concernant la classification des langues serialisantes.
