Book Synopsis The Interface between Scientific and Technical Translation Studies and Cognitive Linguistics by : Ralph Krüger
Download or read book The Interface between Scientific and Technical Translation Studies and Cognitive Linguistics written by Ralph Krüger and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific and Technical Translation (STT) is a highly complex and knowledge-intensive field of translation and cognitive linguistics is a usage-based linguistic framework which provides powerful theoretical tools for modelling knowledge organisation and representation in discourse. This book explores the interface between scientific and technical translation studies and cognitive linguistics by discussing the epistemological, contextual, textual and cross-linguistic dimensions of scientific and technical translation from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Particular emphasis is placed on explicitation and implicitation as indicators of the interaction between text and context in STT. The corpusbased investigation of the two phenomena illustrates the complex knowledge requirements pertaining to scientific and technical translation and demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive linguistics with regard to important textual and contextual aspects of STT.
Book Synopsis Lexicon and Grammar by : Joseph E. Emonds
Download or read book Lexicon and Grammar written by Joseph E. Emonds and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
Book Synopsis Second Language Acquisition by : Roumyana Slabakova
Download or read book Second Language Acquisition written by Roumyana Slabakova and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook approaches second language acquisition from the perspective of generative linguistics. Roumyana Slabakova reviews and discusses paradigms and findings from the last thirty years of research in the field, focussing in particular on how the second or additional language is represented in the mind and how it is used in communication. The adoption and analysis of a specific model of acquisition, the Bottleneck Hypothesis, provides a unifying perspective. The book assumes some non-technical knowledge of linguistics, but important concepts are clearly introduced and defined throughout, making it a valuable resource not only for undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics, but also for researchers in cognitive science and language teachers.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Linguistic Parameters by : Antonio Fabregas
Download or read book Contemporary Linguistic Parameters written by Antonio Fabregas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parameters have lain at the core of linguistic research in the generative tradition for decades. The theoretical questions they have raised are deep and broad: this reference text investigates how contemporary linguistics has best tried to answer them. This book looks at how parameters might be properly defined and what their locus might be :lexical information, functional heads, the computational system, the phonological branch of the grammar. What kind of data forms trigger acquisition of a parameter? Are parameters necessary or can we study languages without making reference to them? The questions looked at are not just theoretical: how can a theory of parameters be used to help understand second language acquisition, and what contributions can it make to the study of language typology? This is the right time to gather all this information, dispersed in many different kinds of publications by single authors and groups, into one comprehensive volume.
Book Synopsis Linguistic Meaning (RLE Linguistics A: General Linguistics) by : Keith Allan
Download or read book Linguistic Meaning (RLE Linguistics A: General Linguistics) written by Keith Allan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Keith Allan presents a coherent, consistent and comprehensive account of linguistic meaning, centred around an informally presented theory of meaning. It is intended for graduate and undergraduate students of linguistics, or any linguist curious about what a theory of meaning should seek to accomplish and the way to achieve that aim. The work assumes that the primary task of a theory of linguistic meaning is to describe the meaning of speech acts. This in turn presupposes a theory of semantics and a theory of prosodic meaning, as well as a proper treatment of the co-operative principle, context and background information. These matters are dealt with in detail. The second task of a theory of linguistic meaning is to identify what meaning is, to explain the relationships between sense and denotation, and to explicate the nature of meaningful properties and meaning relations. These matters are fully covered, and the work concludes with a summary of the principle arguments presented.
Book Synopsis Language and Logos by : Thomas Hanneforth
Download or read book Language and Logos written by Thomas Hanneforth and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes to a linguistic program characterized by the view that explanatory goals in syntax and semantics can be met only in models that are sufficiently formalized. The properties of these formalizations must be well understood, and they have to do justice to both the syntactic and semantic aspects of a construction. The contributions shed light on this view from the perspectives of theoretical linguistics (semantics, syntax), automata theory, and computational and mathematical linguistics.

Book Synopsis Transitivity Alternations in Diachrony by : Nikolaos Lavidas
Download or read book Transitivity Alternations in Diachrony written by Nikolaos Lavidas and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Τhis book offers a new approach to the theory of change in argument structure and voice morphology. It investigates the diachrony of transitivity, and especially the changes in causative verbs and transitivity alternations, based on data mainly from the Greek and English diachrony (all historical data are transcribed and accompanied by glosses and translations into Modern English). Data from earlier periods provide new information on burning questions in both Historical and Theoretical Linguistics. The study shows that (a) causativisations are the result of reanalysis of intransitive verbs as transitive on the basis of the linguistic cue of Case; (b) the changes in voice morphology do not depend on the derivation and direction of new transitivity alternations. Finally, the study demonstrates that the generalisation that guides the changes in voice demands morphological differentiation of the anticausative from the passive types.

Book Synopsis Morphology and its Interfaces by : Alexandra Galani
Download or read book Morphology and its Interfaces written by Alexandra Galani and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most striking trends across linguistic research in recent years has been the examination of the interfaces between the various subcomponents of the language faculty. Yet, approaches to these interfaces across different theoretical frameworks differ substantially. This volume pulls together research into Morphology and its interfaces from researchers employing a variety of different theoretical and methodological perspectives: Morphology is a diverse field, and rather than aiming to collect works sharing a particular approach or framework of assumptions, this collection instead captures the diversity and provides an overview of the state of the research field while also addressing particular empirical phenomena with up-to-date analyses. The articles collected provide case studies from a diverse variety of languages revealing properties of the interfaces that morphology shares with syntax, semantics, phonology, and the lexicon, while the volume's inclusive cross-theoretical approach will serve to introduce readers to the findings of alternative frameworks and methodologies.
Download or read book Beyond Morphology written by Peter Ackema and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004-10-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors provide a compelling argument for a radically modular view of the human language faculty. The authors argue that complex words are generated by a dedicated rule system which interacts with the syntax on the one hand and the phonology on the other.

Book Synopsis Linguistic Categorization by : John R. Taylor
Download or read book Linguistic Categorization written by John R. Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a readable and clearly articulated introduction to an important area in the broader field of Cognitive Linguistics. Taking as its starting point the categorization of colour it explores the far reaching implications of Eleanor Rosch's seminal work on prototype categorization extending it's application of prototype theory from lexical semantics to the study of morphology, syntax, and phonology. First published in 1989 the third edition of this populat text has been fully revised and updated to include recent developments in Cognitive Linguistics. It introduces basic issues in the study of word meaning, and demonstrates the viability of the prototype approach to the study of phonology, syntax and acquistion. The new edition expands the treatment of polysemy, meaning relatedness, idioms and grammatical constructions The book presupposes no prior knowledge of linguistics and will therefore be particulary suited to undergraduate courses.
Book Synopsis Verb-second as a reconstruction phenomenon by : Constantin Freitag
Download or read book Verb-second as a reconstruction phenomenon written by Constantin Freitag and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation of V2-movement addresses the question which role the lexical content of the moved element plays during sentence processing. It draws on original theoretical arguments, empirical data and results from psycholinguistic experiments. The main finding is that the lexical content of the V2-verb is interpreted only at the end of the clause, i.e. at the base position of the finite verb.
Book Synopsis Base Generated Syntax by : Michael K. Brame
Download or read book Base Generated Syntax written by Michael K. Brame and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguist Michael K. Brame initially put forward one of the first systematic proposals for a 'one-level' syntax in 1976, in response to what he saw as the problems with Generative Semantics. At the time, his model of a 'base-generated syntax' embodied two trends in linguistic theory: 1) a move towards a base-generated syntax and away from transformations, and 2) attempts to define a semantics directly on the syntax of natural language. This book is intended for linguistic specialists and presents Brame's thinking on a 'base-generated syntax' in its entirety.
