The Handbook of Japanese Applied Linguistics reflects crosscurrents in applied linguistics, an ever-developing branch of linguistics. The book is divided into seven sections, where each chapter discusses in depth the importance of particular topics, such as L1 and L2 acquisition, bilingualism, language pedagogy/education, corpus linguistics, clinical linguistics, translation, and sign language. Covering a wide range of current issues in a comprehensive manner, the book will be useful for both researchers and graduate students who are interested in Japanese linguistics and applied linguistics.

The Winthrops are America's royal family, and its Prince Charming is the sexy, charismatic Gary Winthrop. Now the man on his way to becoming the Senate's brightest new star is found murdered in his home-the latest in a series of incidents that have killed five members of the family in a single year. One of the last people to see Gary Winthrop alive is Washington anchorwoman Dana Evans. She makes it her mission to investigate these seemingly random tragedies, little realizing that her search will sweep her across several continents, place her and her young son in grave danger, and lead her to a truth that will astound the world.

Introduction to the Croatian and Serbian Language
Thomas F. Magner
Pennsylvania State University Press
english
Rev Sub
1991
156
This is a completely reworked edition of a textbook that has won acclaim over the years and has been used in universities from coast to coast.The language has traditionally been called Serbo-Croatian, although it is also referred to as Serbian or Croatian. There are two main variants of the language; Croatian (Western) and Serbian (Eastern). This book is unique in its equal treatment of the two principal variants. Such even-handed treatment requires the presentation of the two alphabets in use (Latin and Cyrillic), the representation of lexical items specific to each variant (e.g., Serbian hleb, 'bread,' and Croatian kruh), a presentation of pronunciation differences (e.g., Serbian sneg, 'snow,' and Croatian snijeg), and a clear indication of syntactic differences (e.g., Serbian ja hocu da pisem, 'I want to write,' and Croatian ja hocu pisati).The language presented is correct and colloquial since the user will typically be a beginner, not ready for belles-lettres. The correctness of usage has been established through consultation with Serbian and Croatian academic experts.Conversations for imitation are fresh and lively, and texts are down-to-earth ('Sport in Yugoslavia,' 'Student Life in Zagreb,' etc.). A dictionary is provided at the end both for help with the lessons and for independent use, as in tourism or self-study.The grammar is presented in modern fashion, using the techniques of applied linguistics and benefiting from the author's long experience in teaching the language.

The book investigates the diagnostics for the prosodic word in European Portuguese, the prosodic organization of various sorts of morphosyntactic objects, and the definition of the prosodic word domain. The book bears on the organization of grammar and phonology, its interface with morphology and syntax, and the nature of phonological representations. Besides focusing primarily on European Portuguese, it also refers to languages such as Italian, Dutch, German, and English, among many others.

Language Description Informed by Theory
Rob Pensalfini, Myfany Turpin, Diana Guillemin
John Benjamins Publishing Company
english
Studies in Language Companion Series
2014
403
This volume explores how linguistic theories inform the ways in which languages are described. Theories, as representations of linguistic categories, guide the field linguist to look for various phenomena without presupposing their necessary existence and provide the tools to account for various sets of data across different languages. A goal of linguistic description is to represent the full range of language structures for any given language. The chapters in this book cover various sub-disciplines of linguistics including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and anthropological linguistics, drawing upon theoretical approaches such as prosodic Phonology, Enhancement theory, Distributed Morphology, Minimalist syntax, Lexical Functional Grammar, and Kinship theory. The languages described in this book include Australian languages (Pama-Nyungan and non-Pama-Nyungan), Romance languages as well as English. This volume will be of interest to researchers in both descriptive and theoretical linguistics.

Count and Mass Across Languages
Diane Massam
Oxford University Press
english
Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics
2012
352
This volume explores the expression of the concepts <em>count</em> and <em>mass</em> in human language and probes the complex relation between seemingly incontrovertible aspects of meaning and their varied grammatical realizations across languages. In English, count nouns are those that can be counted and pluralized (<em>two</em> cats), whereas mass nouns cannot be, at least not without a change in meaning (#two <em>rices</em>). The chapters in this volume explore the question of the cognitive and linguistic universality and variability of the concepts <em>count</em> and <em>mass</em> from philosophical, semantic, and morpho-syntactic points of view, touching also on issues in acquisition and processing. The volume also significantly contributes to our cross-linguistic knowledge, as it includes chapters with a focus on Blackfoot, Cantonese, Dagaare, English, Halkomelem, Lithuanian, Malagasy, Mandarin, Ojibwe, and Persian, as well as discussion of several other languages including Armenian, Hungarian, and Korean. The overall consensus of this volume is that while the general concepts of <em>count</em> and <em>mass</em> are available to all humans, forms of grammaticalization involving number, classifiers, and determiners play a key role in their linguistic treatment, and indeed in whether these concepts are grammatically expressed at all. This variation may be reflect the fact that <em>count/mass</em> is just one possible realization of a deeper and broader concept, itself related to the categories of nominal and verbal aspect.

Language and Superdiversity
Karel Arnaut, Jan Blommaert, Ben Rampton, Massimiliano Spotti
Routledge
other
2015
286
A first synthesis of work done in sociolinguistic superdiversity, this volume offers a substantial introduction to the field and the issues and state-of-the-art research papers organized around three themes: Sketching the paradigm, Sociolinguistic complexity, Policing complexity. The focus is to show how complexity rather than plurality can serve as a lens through which an equally vast range of topics, sites, and issues can be tied together. Superdiversity captures the acceleration and intensification of processes of social ‘mixing’ and ‘fragmentation’ since the early 1990s, as an outcome of two different but related processes: new post-Cold War migration flows, and the advent and spread of the Internet and mobile technologies. The confluence of these forces have created entirely new sociolinguistic environments, leading to research in the past decade that has brought a mixture of new empirical terrain–extreme diversity in language and literacy resources, complex repertoires and practices of participants in interaction–and conceptual challenges. Language and Superdiversity is a landmark volume bringing together the work of the scholars and researchers who spearhead the development of the sociolinguistics of superdiversity.

On Manners
Karen Stohr
Routledge
english
Thinking in Action
2012
193
Many otherwise enlightened people often dismiss etiquette as a trivial subject or―worse yet―as nothing but a disguise for moral hypocrisy or unjust social hierarchies. Such sentiments either mistakenly assume that most manners merely frame the “real issues” of any interpersonal exchange or are the ugly vestiges of outdated, unfair social arrangements. But in On Manners, Karen Stohr turns the tables on these easy prejudices, demonstrating that the scope of manners is much broader than most people realize and that manners lead directly to the roots of enduring ethical questions. Stohr suggests that though manners are mostly conventional, they are nevertheless authoritative insofar as they are a primary means by which we express moral attitudes and commitments and carry out important moral goals. Drawing primarily on Aristotle and Kant and with references to a wide range of cultural examples―from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm―the author ultimately concludes that good manners are essential to moral character.

Voci del verbo andare
Jenny Erpenbeck
Sellerio Editore

2016
Richard è un filologo classico in pensione, quasi per caso entra in contatto con un gruppo di africani alloggiati in un campo profughi di Berlino. È un uomo solo, vedovo e senza figli, e ha molto tempo a disposizione; in quel luogo si scoprirà capace di ascoltare le vite degli altri, le peripezie e le vicissitudini di chi viene dal Ghana, dal Ciad, dalla Nigeria, storie di lutto, fame, guerra, coraggio e difficoltà. Nel dialogo con gli esuli Richard scorge un’umanità a tratti capace di essere innocente e integra. La sua cultura classica funge da elemento rivelatore, lo aiuta a immergersi in un mondo e in una diversa visione del mondo, a confrontare valori a volte contrapposti. L’antichità e la modernità, l’universalismo e l’interesse individuale, il difficile bilanciamento tra gli ideali e la sopravvivenza. Gli uomini a cui pone le sue domande sono riusciti ad arrivare a Berlino nell’autunno del 2013, dopo essere sbarcati a Lampedusa. Sono quattrocento stranieri in terra straniera, e tutto per loro è diverso, difficile, alieno. Prima si accampano in una piazza del quartiere Kreuzberg per chiedere aiuto e lavoro, ma la polizia non perde tempo, li sgombera e li ricovera nella zona orientale della capitale. Vitto e alloggio, una prima conquista, e poi un corso per apprendere la nuova lingua. Ma per loro, come per quasi tutti quelli che sono scappati dai paesi di origine per approdare in Europa in cerca di un rifugio e di una casa, la normalità è una conquista difficile. Prima di tornare a vivere si annuncia un’attesa di anni. Jenny Erpenbeck, tra le più interessanti e innovative scrittrici tedesche contemporanee, non teme l’ambizione dell’analisi politica, della denuncia sociale, e riflette con un romanzo completamente immerso nel presente, quasi al limite della cronaca, del reportage letterario, sui contrasti paradossali della nostra epoca, l’opposizione tra ricchezza e indigenza, libertà e asservimento, tra la cancellazione delle culture e il disegno di una nuova identità.

Briefe an einen jungen Dichter
Rainer Maria Rilke
german
56
<p>Die Sammlung umfasst den Briefwechsel zwischen Franz Xaver Kappus und Rainer Maria Rilke aus den Jahren 1903 bis 1908. </p><p>Kappus hatte sich drei Jahre nach Rilkes Tod im Jahr 1929 an dessen Tochter Ruth gewandt und ihr die Briefe übersandt. Sie wurden daraufhin von Ruth gemeinsam mit Rilkes Witwe Clara Westhoff mit einem Vorwort von Kappus herausgegeben. Die <i>Briefe an einen jungen Dichter</i> wurden aus der Veröffentlichung der übrigen Briefe ausgegliedert und diesen vorangestellt, weil sich die Herausgeberinnen erhofften, auf diesem Wege mehr Aufmerksamkeit für Rilkes moderne Haltung zur Orientierung im Leben zu erlangen, während sowohl der Kommunismus als auch der Nationalsozialismus an Boden gewannen. Die Texte grenzen sich von politischen Ideologien ebenso ab wie von der Religion. Damit sollten insbesondere junge Menschen angesprochen werden. Die <i>Briefe an einen jungen Dichter</i> wurden tatsächlich zu dem meistgelesenen Buch Rilkes. </p><p>Diese Ausgabe von 1929 ist klassisch geworden; sie wurde in viele Sprachen übersetzt. Im Jahr 2019 erschien im Wallstein Verlag die erste Ausgabe, die sowohl Kappus' Schreiben als auch Rilkes Erwiderungen in zeitlicher Folge wiedergibt und die damit die Lektüre des vollständigen Schriftwechsels ermöglicht, herausgegeben und kommentiert von Erich Unglaub.</p><p><br></p><p>Wikipedia: 16:23h 25/08/2020<br> </p>

Quantification, definiteness, and nominalization
Anastasia Giannakidou, Monika Rathert
Oxford University Press
english
Oxford linguistics, Oxford studies in theoretical linguistics 24
2009
431
This book addresses recent developments in the study of quantifier phrases, nominalizations, and the linking definite determiner. It reflects the intense reconsideration of the nature of quantification, and of fundamental aspects of the syntax and semantics of quantifier phrases. Leading international scholars explore novel and challenging ideas at the interfaces between syntax and morphology, syntax and semantics, morphology and the lexicon. They examine core issues in the field, such as kind reference, number marking, partitivity, context dependence and the way presuppositions are built into the meanings of quantifiers. They also consider how in this context definiteness and the definite determiner D play a central role, and the way in which D is also instrumental in nominalizations. With nominalization, the lexical semantic contribution of verbs and their arguments becomes central, and within the perspective of this book the question is asked whether syntactic nominalizations share with noun phrases the same external layer, namely the functional projection DP. If so, what exactly is the contribution of D in this case, and how much of the lexical correspondence between nouns and verbs is preserved? This book presents the latest thinking on cross-paradigm and cross-linguistic approaches in three of the most vibrant and productive research areas in linguistics. It paves the way towards a more comprehensive understanding of how quantification, definiteness, and nominalizations are encoded in the grammar.

From simple input to complex grammar
James L. Morgan
MIT Press
english
1986
The paradox of how children regularly learn highly complex natural languages upon limited exposure to simple data lies at the center of any study of language acquisition. This book explores a new and important hypothesis for how young children might be able to learn a language from very simple sentences. The Bracketed Input Hypothesis suggests that children may receive information from their input about how the words of sentences group together to form the basic phrases from which sentences are constructed. Such information, in conjunction with the child's native and acquired language learning abilities, Morgan argues, forms part of the necessary basis for language acquisition. From Simple Input to Complex Grammar first reviews the empirical and mathematical literature on language learnability, particularly Kenneth Wexler and Peter Culicover's influential work (Formal Principles of Language Acquisition, MIT Press 1980) which provides a basis for Morgan's hypothesis. The book shows that, assuming information about phrasal structure to be available in input, one can prove that the child can learn a natural language from extremely simple sentences, sentences of the type that children actually hear. This learnability proof, by virtue of requiring both less complex input and fewer assumptions concerning the child's native endowment, represents a significant advance beyond previous results. Morgan's own work on the nature of mothers' speech to children is then discussed, indicating that requisite phrase bracketing information is present in such speech. Moreover, his study of children's representation of speech suggests that children are indeed sensitive to such information. James L. Morgan is Assistant Professor, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. From Simple Input to Complex Grammar is included in the series Learning; Development, and Conceptual Change, edited by Leila Gleitman, Susan Carey, Elissa Newport, and Elizabeth Spelke. A Bradford Book.

Theta Theory
Martin Haiden
Mouton de Gruyter
english
Studies in Generative Grammar 78
2005
309
Theta Theory explores the lexicon as an interface in the strict sense, as facilitating the flow of information between cognition and the computational system of language. It argues for the traditional concept of a listed lexicon, where semantic roles are encoded as features of verbs, and against event decomposition. Part one of the book discusses the link between cognition and the lexicon. Mainstream theories of lexical semantics are critically reviewed. Furthermore, this part provides an extensive description of the relevant data in German, including agentivity, causation, psychological predicates, and different types of diathesis alternations. Part two is devoted to the link between the lexicon and syntax. It develops a parallel model of grammatical derivation, which allows the formulation of robust generalizations over thematic role assignment, but at the same time acknowledges the relevance of other components, in particular morpho-phonology and narrow syntax. The theory is applied to a wide range of German constructions including modal infinitives, the present and gerundive participle, the past/passive/adjectival participle, verbal particles, auxiliary selection, and unaccusatives/reflexives. The book is of interest for students and scholars of lexical semantics, for descriptive German linguistics, and for linguists concerned with the development of the Minimalist Program.

New Perspectives in Role and Reference Grammar presents a broad picture of current developments in Role and Reference Grammar (RRG), a version of parallel structure grammar Other an emphasis on typological adequacy. Since its inception, RRG has been applied to a wide range of languages, in particular to case marking, complex clauses (e.g. control, raising, and serial verb constructions), unaccusativity/unergativity, and the interplay between syntax and information structure.

While it has long been taken for granted that context or background information plays a crucial role in reference assignment, there have been very few serious attempts to investigate exactly how they are used. This study provides an answer to the question through an extensive analysis of cases of bridging. The book demonstrates that when encountering a referring expression, the hearer is able to choose a set of<span> contextual assumptions intended by the speaker in a principled way, out of all the assumptions possibly available to him. It claims more specifically that the use of context, as well as.</span> <span><span>Read more...</span></span>

All modes of perception (vision, hearing, etc.) are organized into foreground or focus and background constituents. Natural language sentences are no different. This book explores the role of focusing in natural language sentences and the role of this basic cognitive mechanism in explaining sentence stress, meaning and structure. The result is an innovative view of our linguistic competence.

Current Studies in Spanish Linguistics
Hector Campos, Fernando Martinez-Gil
Georgetown University Press

1992
648
In this invited volume, experts in Spanish linguistics who subscribe to the "Chomskyian thory of Universal Grammar", along with the editors, approach the general applicability of this model from the perspectives of their subdisciplines: language acquisition, syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology. Their research points to the verification of the Chomskyian linguistic theory as a general framework for explaining phenomena in language acquisition and use - and, more generally, to the possible development of a model of mind based on linguistic theory. "Current Studies in Spanish Linguistics" will interest all specialists in Spanish and theoretical linguistics, as well as those interested in cognitive science, psychology, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence.

Composing Questions
Hadas Kotek
The MIT Press
english
Linguistic Inquiry Monographs
2019
232
An investigation of the syntax and semantics of wh-questions through the lens of intervention effects, offering a new proposal on overt and covert wh-movement. In this book, Hadas Kotek investigates the syntax and semantics of wh-questions, offering a new solution to a central question in the study of interrogatives: given that overt wh-movement is cross-linguistically common, is syntactic movement a prerequisite for the interpretation of wh-phrases? Some linguists argue that all wh-phrases undergo movement to interrogative C, even if covertly; others propose mechanisms of in-situ interpretation that do not require any movement. Kotek moves beyond these positions to argue that wh-in-situ does move covertly, but not necessarily to C. Instead, she contends, wh-in-situ undergoes a short movement step akin to covert scrambling. This makes the LF behavior of English parallel to the overt behavior of German. Kotek presents a series of self-paced reading experiments, alongside judgment data from German, to substantiate the idea of covert scrambling. She introduces new diagnostics for the underlying structure of questions, using as a principal tool the distribution of intervention effects. This system allows her to offer the first unified account for a range of phenomena of interrogative syntax-semantics as pied-piping, superiority effects, the cross-linguistically varied syntax of questions, and intervention effects. Kotek develops a theory of interrogative syntax-semantics; studies the phenomena of intervention effects in wh-questions, proposing that the nature of intervention is crucially tied to the availability of wh-movement in a question; and shows that covert wh-movement should be modeled as a short scrambling operation rather than an unbounded, successive-cyclic, and potentially long-distance movement operation.

Songs for the Butcher's Daughter
Peter Manseau

2008

Summer, sweltering, 1996. A book warehouse in western Massachusetts. A man at the beginning of his adult life -- and the end of his career rope -- becomes involved with a woman, a language, and a great lie that will define his future. Most auspiciously of all, he runs across Itsik Malpesh, a ninetysomething Russian immigrant who claims to be the last Yiddish poet in America. When a set of accounting ledgers in which Malpesh has written his memoirs surfaces -- twenty-two volumes brimming with adventure, drama, deception, passion, and wit -- the young man is compelled to translate them, telling Malpesh's story as his own life unfolds, and bringing together two paths that coincide in shocking and unexpected ways. Moving from revolutionary Russia to New York's Depression-era Lower East Side to millennium's-end Baltimore with drama, adventure, and boisterous, feisty charm to spare, the unpeeling of this friendship is a story of the entire twentieth century. For fans of Nicole Krauss, Nathan Englander, Richard Powers, Amy Bloom, and Lore Segal, this book will amaze at every turn: narrated by two poets (one who doesn't know he is and one who doesn't know he isn't), it is a wise and warm look at the constant surprises and ineluctable ravages of time. It's a book about religion, love, and typesetting -- how one passion can be used to goad and thwart the other -- and most of all, about how faith in the power of words can survive even the death of a language. A novel of faith lost and hope found in translation, Songs for the Butcher's Daughter is at once an immigrant's epic saga, a love story for the ages, a Yiddish-inflected laughing-through-tears tour of world history for Jews and Gentiles alike, and a testament to Manseau's ambitious genius.

The Syntax and Semantics of the Left Periphery
Horst Lohnstein, Susanne Trissler
De Gruyter Mouton
english
Interface Explorations
2004
532
The left periphery of clausal structures has been a prominent topic of research in generative linguistics during the last decades. Closer examination of its properties unfolds a rich array of perspectives like the status of barriers for extraction and government, the articulation of the topic focus structure, the fixation of wh-scope, the marking of clausal types, the interaction of syntactic structure with inflectional morphology as well as the determination of sentence mood and illocutionary force to mention just a few. The purpose of this book is to collect different and relevant studies in this field and to give a general overview of the various theoretical approaches concerned with morphological, syntactic and semantic properties together with the diachronic development of the left periphery.

New Perspectives on the Origins of Language
Claire Lefebvre, Bernard Comrie, Henri Cohen
John Benjamins Publishing Company
english
Studies in Language Companion Series 144
2013
The question of how language emerged is one of the most fascinating and difficult problems in science. In recent years, a strong resurgence of interest in the emergence of language from an evolutionary perspective has been helped by the convergence of approaches, methods, and ideas from several disciplines. The selection of contributions in this volume highlight scenarios of language origin and the prerequisites for a faculty of language based on biological, historical, social, cultural, and paleontological forays into the conditions that brought forth and favored language emergence, augmented by insights from sister disciplines. The chapters all reflect new speculation, discoveries and more refined research methods leading to a more focused understanding of the range of possibilities and how we might choose among them. There is much that we do not yet know, but the outlines of the path ahead are ever clearer.

Ich bin kein Berliner
Wladimir Kaminer
Goldmann Paperback
german
2007
188
The most well known and beloved Berliner leads a tour through his city – a travel guide of the most different sort. “I am not a Berliner… I don’t really know my way around here very well. Fifteen years ago I came to East Berlin for reasons that are still a mystery to me. The journey proved to be a fatal decision. Once here, no one can get away. Berlin binds.” Wladimir Kaminer There is probably no better-known Berliner than Wladimir Kaminer, and none better to introduce the city in all its facets to tourists. In his usual comical-charming style, he brings readers closer to his new native city by spanning the spectrum from a short introduction on Berlin history and stories about the sights to see to the behaviour of Japanese tourists. Along with these, he provides small walking tour routes, bidding readers to follow him through the city, and the addresses of unusual and original restaurants, shops, and other attractions. Press “He is a bottomless barrel of stories. And he is just getting better.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung Author Wladimir Kaminer was born in 1967 and has lived in Berlin since 1990. He has his own television program on WDR, and is famous not least for his popular nightclub show Russendisco. The short story collection of the same name has, like his other books, since achieved cult status.

Reading Heinrich Heine
Anthony Phelan
Cambridge University Press
english
Cambridge Studies in German
2007
323
Originally created in 2007, this is a comprehensive study of the nineteenth-century German poet Heinrich Heine. Anthony Phelan examines the complete range of Heine's work, from the early poetry and 'Pictures of Travel' to the last poems, including personal polemic and journalism. Phelan provides original and detailed readings of Heine's major poetry and throws fresh light on his virtuoso political performances that have too often been neglected by critics. Through his critical relationship with Romanticism, Heine confronted the problem of modernity in startlingly original ways that still speak to the concerns of post-modern readers. Phelan highlights the importance of Heine for the critical understanding of modern literature, and in particular the responses to Heine's work by Adorno, Kraus and Benjamin. Heine emerges as a figure of immense European significance, whose writings need to be seen as a major contribution to the articulation of modernity.

Men and the Language of Emotions
Dariusz Galasinski
english
First Edition
2005
192
Dariusz Galasinski challenges the commonly held association of rationality with masculinity, involving distancing from the language of emotions. Drawing on a major study of heterosexual men talking about their lives and relationships, he demonstrates that men are capable of speaking of emotions and can do so in direct and uninhibited ways. He also discusses the crucial role of emotionality in constructions of masculine identities--those of men, fathers and husbands. The book ends with a proposal for a radically contextual understanding of gender and gender identities.

A notional theory of syntactic categories
John M. Anderson
Cambridge University Press
english
Cambridge studies in linguistics 82
1997
366
This book presents an innovative theory of syntactic categories and the lexical classes they define. It revives the traditional idea that these are to be distinguished notionally (semantically). It allows for there to be peripheral members of a lexical class which may not obviously conform to the general definition. The author proposes a notation based on semantic features which accounts for the syntactic behaviour of classes. The book also presents a case for considering this classification - again in rather traditional vein - to be basic to determining the syntactic structure of sentences. Syntactic structure is thus erected in a very restricted fashion, without recourse to movement or empty elements.

Predicative possession
Leon Stassen
Oxford University Press
english
Oxford linguistics, Oxford studies in typology and linguistic theory
2009
831
As long as I have studied languages, I have known that most languages do not possess a direct equivalent of the verb "to have"; however, I learned very little about how this majority of languages actually expresses the concept of predicative possession except to see that they would express it using a simple locational adverb. In the brilliant World Atlas of Language Structures, however, it is shown that there are two further types of predicative possession that will not be familiar to speakers of the world's major languages: the "topic possessive" and the "with possessive". Although the WALS database shows some clear tendencies in terms of linguistic typology: locational possessives are found in case-marking languages, topic possessives in isolating languages and "with" possessives in polysynthetic head-marking languages, it does not do anything to explain these tendencies in a manner remotely comprehensible to an amateur linguist like myself. In this context, "Predicative Possession" is the perfect supplement to the WALS database. It looks in excellent detail at the question of predicative possession in a very good sample of languages (including quite a number not covered in Stassen's equally good Intransitive Predication) and aims to provide a clear understanding of why languages choose the particular type of possession encoding that they do. Before this, however, Stassen looks clearly at the various subtypes of each type of predicative possession so that one can understand how they evolve. "With" possessives especially are shown as likely to evolve into affixes that form adjectives, which creates two types depending on whether the language is tensed (and has nouny adjectives) or non-tensed (and has verb-like adjectives). in the most polysynthetic of languages such as Eskimoan or Wakashan, these tend to become quite like verbs, but Stassen shows that they cannot be considered verbs simply by virtue of the word structure of these languages. In the next part of the book, Stassen looks for deciding characteristics to find out what determines the strategy used to determine what kind of possessive construction a language will have. He finds that two characteristics can determine what type of possessive construction a language will choose. These are whether its "when" clauses are "balanced" (ie. use the same verb forms as independent clauses) or "deranked" (use different verb forms from independent clauses) on one hand, and whether its nominal and locational predicates are "split" (different morphemes) or "shared" (as in English, with the same verb for both). He shows indeed that predicative possession structures in almost all languages are modelled on "when" clauses and that the underlying structure consists of the possessed item and an existential "be" verb. "Have" verbs form as a last resort when a language cannot distinguish a predicative possession sentence from a simple copular type ("is..."). All through "Predicative Possession" there is excellently done and very clear detail to illustrate the two key issues involved in determining how a language will encode predicative possession - so much so that none of the several hundred languages, even those which are extinct or not well-described, are omitted except in a few cases where there really does not exist adequate information. Consequently, "Predicative Possession" is a perfect complement to Stassen's other linguistics work "Intransitive Predication" and should be bought by all curious about linguistics.

This is the first comprehensive treatment of the strategies employed in the world's languages to express predicative possession, as in ''the boy has a bat''. It presents the results of the author's fifteen-year research project on the subject. Predicative possession is the source of many grammaticalization paths - as in the English perfect tense formed from to have - and its typology is an important key to understanding the structural variety of the world's languages and how they change. Drawing on data from some 400 languages representing all the world's language families, most of which lack a close equivalent to the verb to have, Professor Stassen aims (a) to establish a typology of four basic types of predicative possession, (b) to discover and describe the processes by which standard constructions can be modified, and (c) to explore links between the typology of predicative possession and other typologies in order to reveal patterns of interdependence. He shows, for example, that the parameter of simultaneous sequencing - the way a language formally encodes a sequence like ''John sang and Mary danced'' - correlates with the way it encodes predicative possession. By means of this and other links the author sets up a single universal model in order to account for all morphosyntactic variation in predicative possession found in the languages of the world, including patterns of variation over time. <em>Predicative Possession</em> will interest scholars and advanced students of language typology, diachronic linguistics, morphology and syntax.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon, The Death of Teddy's Bear, and the Sovereign Exception of Guantánamo
Magnus Fiskesjö
Prickly Paradigm Press
english

2003

Each Thanksgiving, the president of the United States symbolically pardons one turkey from the fate of serving as a holiday dinner. In this pamphlet, anthropologist Magnus Fiskesj? uncovers the hidden horrors of such rituals connected with the power of pardon, from the annual turkey to the pardoning of the original Teddy Bear. It is through these ritualized and perpetually remembered acts of mercy, Fiskesj? contends, that we might come to understand the exceptional—and troubling—status of the "War on Terror" prisoners being held by the United States at Guant?namo Bay."In The Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon, Swedish anthropologist Magnus Fiskesj?, see in the annual presidential reprieve of an otherwise doomed turkey something much more than a lark. (Just ask a vegetarian; it's no joke.) 'It is really a symbolic pardoning act which, through public performance, establishes and manifests the sovereign's position at the helm of the state by highlighting . . . his power to control matters of life and death.' That observation leads Fiskesj? to some troubling thoughts on the exercise of U.S. sovereignty, from Teddy Roosevelt's big-stick era to the holding of prisoners at Guant?namo."—Jennifer Howard, Washington Post Book World

Principien der Sprachgeschichte (1880) is Hermann Paul's best-known work. In this book, the German literary scholar and linguist argues that although language is a product of human culture and the study of language is therefore best categorised as history, language can most effectively be analysed with methods taken from the natural sciences. Paul develops a system of principles that draws heavily on cognitive and psychological elements in order to account for how language has developed. In 14 chapters he sets out a detailed account of the history of language that includes general observations on the development of language, the consequences of sound change, semantic shift and the divergence of etymologically connected words, and aspects of syntax. He also compares written and spoken language varieties, and the origins of dialects and standard languages.

Simultaneous Structure in Phonology
D. Robert Ladd
Oxford University Press
english
2014
208
In this book, D. Robert Ladd focuses on problems with the one-dimensional idealization of language on which much linguistic theory is based. Strings of sequentially-ordered elements play an important role as theoretical abstractions in both phonology and syntax. Yet many well-known phonological phenomena (such as vowel harmony, ablaut morphology, and pitch features) are problematic for this one-dimensional idealization, and many attempts (such as autosegmental phonology) have been made to allow for these troublesome characteristics in our theories. The book deals with diverse aspects of these problematical non-sequential phenomena. <br><br>The five main chapters cover distinctive features and autosegments, systematic phonetics, the definition of 'prosody', aspects of vocal paralinguistic communication and 'gradience', and duality of patterning. Each chapter reviews a wide range of relevant literature, generally going back to the beginnings of modern linguistics in the early twentieth century, and all of them can usefully be read as free-standing synthetic overviews of the issues they discuss. The final chapter suggests that phonological structure, sequential or otherwise, can be seen as a special case of the segmentation of continuous action into discrete events, and that research on this general topic within cognitive psychology is relevant to phonological theory.<br><br>Professor Ladd's unique work makes a fundamental contribution to phonology and phonetics and to linguistic theory more generally. His book will interest all theoretical linguists and cognitive scientists concerned with understanding the relation between phonological representations and the speech signal.

The English word infant is derived from the Latin word meaning unable to speak, reflecting the general sense that the transition from infancy into childhood is marked by the production of the childs first word. However, modern methods for measuring infant behavior and brain activity suggest that there is a great deal of language learning that goes on before first word production. The book, Language Development, by LouAnn Gerken, Ph.D. examines both classic and current studies that trace the development of human language from before birth to the early childhood years.
