Download or read book Independent Wh-exclamative Constructions in the History of English written by Daniela Schröder and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers the first book-length treatment of the diachronic study of English exclamatives, tracing their development from 1500 through to the 21st century. The volume shines a light on independent wh-exclamatives in the history of English. These will be analyzed with reference to insubordination, with insubordination understood as the phenomenon of sentences displaying formal features of subordinate clauses, such as through subordinated word order or the use of conjunctions. In particular, Schröder calls attention to the development of three prototypical wh-exclamatives as observed in three newly created genre-balance corpora comprising prose fiction, dialogues and personal correspondence, uncovering new insights into the differences in their evolution. In its analysis of English exclamatives over time and broader exploration of the impact of genre on constructional productivity, the book raises key questions about existing claims in scholarship on Diachronic Construction Grammar and outlines ways forward for new areas of inquiry. This volume will appeal to scholars interested in diachronic linguistics, historical syntax, language variation and change, and the history of English"--

Book Synopsis Benjamin Franklin's English by : Yoko Iyeiri
Download or read book Benjamin Franklin's English written by Yoko Iyeiri and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into Benjamin Franklin’s English, illustrating the variable nature of 18th-century American English and his stylistic manipulation of the potentiality of English. Utilizing corpus methodologies, it offers researchers in historical sociolinguistics unique insights. Benjamin Franklin is one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and while his achievements have been well established in the history of America, his linguistic activities have been explored only to a lesser extent. Iyeiri examines his letters and autobiography, which provide linguists with opportunities to study his language. The book is structured using the “form-to-function” framework. The first part focuses on different lexical items one by one, and can be read in the order readers want, whilst in the second part, Iyeiri stitches the arguments together, discussing various grammatical features across different lexical items. This book is a fantastic reference for students and scholars of historical linguistics, varieties of English, and World Englishes.

It is a vital contribution to the study of Korean linguistics, offering tools and frameworks for analyzing political dialogue in a political setting. An indispensable resource for scholars and students in the fields of linguistics, political science, communication studies, and Asian studies, as well as political enthusiasts and professionals engaged in diplomatic and governmental sectors.

Book Synopsis Diachronic Construction Grammar by : Jóhanna Barðdal
Download or read book Diachronic Construction Grammar written by Jóhanna Barðdal and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction Grammar as a framework offers a new perspective on traditional historical questions in diachronic linguistics and language change: how do new constructions arise, how should competition in diachronic variation be accounted for, how do constructions fall into disuse, and how do constructions change in general, formally and/or semantically, and with what implications for the language system as a whole? This volume offers a broad introduction to the confluence of Construction Grammar and historical syntax, and also detailed case studies of various instances of syntactic change modeled within Construction Grammar. The volume demonstrates that Construction Grammar as a theory is particularly well suited for modeling historical changes in morphosyntax, and it also documents challenging new phenomena that require a theoretical account within any competing framework of syntactic change.

Download or read book Lexical Semantics written by D. A. Cruse and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-09-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lexical Semantics is about the meaning of words. Although obviously a central concern of linguistics, the semantic behaviour of words has been unduly neglected in the current literature, which has tended to emphasize sentential semantics and its relation to formal systems of logic. In this textbook D. A. Cruse establishes in a principled and disciplined way the descriptive and generalizable facts about lexical relations that any formal theory of semantics will have to encompass. Among the topics covered in depth are idiomaticity, lexical ambiguity, synonymy, hierarchical relations such as hyponymy and meronymy, and various types of oppositeness. Syntagmatic relations are also treated in some detail. The discussions are richly illustrated by examples drawn almost entirely from English. Although a familiarity with traditional grammar is assumed, readers with no technical linguistic background will find the exposition always accessible. All readers with an interest in semantics will find in this original text not only essential background but a stimulating new perspective on the field.

Download or read book The Mental Corpus written by John R. Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Taylor argues that an individual's knowledge of a language is a repository of memories. Similarities between items lead to generalizations then used to generate new expressions. He makes a compelling contribution to understanding language and the operations of the mind. The book will appeal to linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists.

Book Synopsis Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language by : Adele E. Goldberg
Download or read book Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language written by Adele E. Goldberg and published by Center for the Study of Language and Information Publications. This book was released on 1996-06-13 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers is the result of the first Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language conference (CSDL) held at the University of California, San Diego. The conference brought together researchers from both 'Cognitive' and 'Functional' approaches to linguistics. The papers in this volume span a variety of topics, but the common thread running through them is the claim that semantics and discourse properties are fundamental to the understanding of language. The themes presented in the volume include an emphasis on the dynamic nature of language, the relevance of a notion of viewpoint in grammatical analysis, the role and nature of metaphor and cognitive blend, the possibility of non-derivational ways to capture relationships among constructions and the importance of lexical semantics. This volume will appeal to a wide range of linguists, echoing the theme of the conference - bringing together two diverse approaches to linguistics.
