Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inexorable march of theoretical linguistics has tended to downplay the importance of description of linguistic data or corpus. The atomic view of the phoneme and the morpheme as segments facilitates description of structures of individual languages. Compare us with portrait artists who look closely at their subjects' faces and begin by sketching out features before filling in the details. The scope of this sketch means that there is no room for much detail, but sufficient grammatical features to identify the language's structure. We believe that description should always come before theory. We have been intrigued by young linguists introducing presentations of their papers at conferences with phrases like "my theory is..." and proceed to focus on recalcitrant data. This book aims to achieve the opposite. The other aim of the book is to sketch out an overview of the STRUCTURE of Shona, drawing attention to some of the aspects that continue to be in need of further detailed DESCRIPTION. This, we believe, will contribute to some of the "theories" in particular as well as linguistic theory in general being more grounded on concrete facts of language.

Download or read book Generative Phonology written by Michael Kenstowicz and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generative Phonology: Description and Theory provides a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of generative phonology and the applications of these concepts in further study of phonological structure. This book is composed of 10 chapters and begins with a survey of phonology in the overall model of generative grammar and introduces the principles of phonetics to. The subsequent chapters introduce the fundamental concept of a phonological rule that relates an underlying representation to a phonetic representation and this concept is applied to the analysis of morphophonemic alternation. These topics are followed by a presentation of phonological sketches of four diverse languages in terms of rules relating underlying and phonetic representations, as well as the major corpus-internal principles and techniques of phonological analysis. The discussion then shifts to the theoretical aspects of phonology, the various degrees of abstractness, and the proposals to limit the divergence between underlying and phonetic representation. Other chapters deal with some of the issues revolving around the representation of sounds and the various hypotheses as to how phonological rules apply to convert the underlying representation to the phonetic representation, particularly the kinds of considerations that motivate rule-ordering statements. The last chapters explore the major notational devices commonly employed in the formulation of phonological rules and the role of syntactic and lexical information in controlling the application of phonological rules. This book is intended primarily for linguistics and phonologists.

Download or read book Auxiliary Verb Constructions written by Gregory D. S. Anderson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most comprehensive survey ever published of auxiliary verb constructions, as in 'he could have been going to drink it' and 'she does eat cheese'. Drawing on a database of over 800 languages Dr Anderson examines their morphosyntactic forms and semantic roles. He investigates and explains the historical changes leading to the cross-linguistic diversity of inflectional patterns, and he presents his results within a new typological framework. The book's impressive range includes data on variation within and across languages and language families. In addition to examining languages in Africa, Europe, and Asia the author presents analyses of languages in Australasia and the Pacific and in North, South, and Meso-America. In doing so he reveals much that is new about the language families of the world and makes an important contribution to the understanding of their nature and evolution. His book will interest scholars and researchers in language typology, historical and comparative linguistics, syntax, and morphology.
