Categorial Grammars / Mary McGee Wood

Public ISBD Titre : Categorial Grammars Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mary McGee Wood, Auteur Editeur : London : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics Importance : 180 P. Présentation : Couv.ill. en coul., tab., fig. Format : 24x16 Cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-72360-2 Langues : Français (fre) Langues originales : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Deductive  System  Monoidal  Category  Heyting  Algebra  Count  Noun  Categorial  grammar  including  comparative descriptive  computational  linguistics. Index. décimale : 415 Résumé : In the last few years categorial grammars have been the focus of dramatically expanded interest and activity, both theoretical and computational. This book, the first introduction to categorical grammars, is written as an objective critical assessment. Categorial grammars offer a radical alternative to the phrase-structure paradigm, with deep roots in the philosophy of language, logic and algebra. Mary McGee Wood outlines their historical evolution and discusses their formal basis, starting with a quasi-canonical core and considering a number of possible extensions. She also explores their treatment of a number of linguistic phenomena, including passives, raising, discontinuous dependencies and non-constituent coordination, as well as such general issues as word order, logic, psychological plausibility and parsing. This introduction to categorial grammars will be of interest to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in current theories of grammar, including comparative, descriptive, and computational linguistics.

The Chomsky Update / Raphael Salkie

Public ISBD Titre : The Chomsky Update : Linguistics and Politics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Raphael Salkie, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1 st Editeur : London : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics Importance : 238 P. Présentation : Couv. en coul. Format : 24x16 Cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-71574-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 410 Résumé : Noam Chomsky has been described as ‘arguably the most important intellectual alive’. His revolutionary work in linguistics has aroused intense scholarly interest, while his trenchant critique of United States foreign policy and his incisive analysis of the role of intellectuals in modern society have made him a prominent public figure. Raphael Salkie’s timely book introduces the two parts of Chomsky’s work and explores the connections between them. He provides an accessible and up-to-date introduction to Chomsky’s linguistics, laying out his basic assumptions and aims – in particular, his consistent drive to make linguistics a science – and looking at a sample of Chomsky’s recent work. He examines the implications for other fields such as philosophy and psychology, as well as the main challenges to Chomsky’s position. Raphael Salkie also sets out the key themes in Chomsky’s political writings and his libertarian socialist views. He contrasts the ‘official line’ on US foreign policy – the view that the US is a ‘well-meaning, blundering giant’ – with Chomsky’s carefully argued alternative view. By focusing on Chomsky’s conception of human nature and human freedom the author draws out the links between the two sides of Chomsky’s work, in the belief that both sides raise issues which can profitably be explored. The author also provides a carefully annotated guide to further reading. As an experienced teacher of linguistics with a commitment to political activism, Raphael Salkie is uniquely qualified to present this introduction to one of the seminal thinkers of our time.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-71586-7 Note générale : This collection of 15 articles reflects Edward Keenan's long-standing research interests in the comparative syntax of the languages of the world. It includes two seminal 'foundation' articles, Noun Phrase Accessibility and Universal Grammar (with Bernard Comrie) and Towards a Universal Definition of 'Subject of'. Most of the other articles have appeared in a variety of relatively inaccessible places, and so this book brings together for the first time a large body of work supporting the research directions taken in the foundation articles. In addition, one article of a psycholinguistic sort was specially prepared for this volume. Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Grammar  Universal.
