Download or read book The Grammar of Thinking written by Daniela E. Casartelli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sentence (1) represents the phenomenon of reported thought, (2) that of reported speech: (1) Sasha thought: "This is fine" or Sasha thought that this would be fine (2) Sasha said: "This is fine" or Sasha said that this would be fine While sentences as in (1) have often been discussed in the context of those in (2) the former have rarely received specific attention. This has meant that much of the semantic and structural complexity, cross-linguistic variation, as well as the precise relation between (1) and (2) and related phenomena have remained unstudied. Addressing this gap, this volume represents the first collection of studies specifically dedicated to reported thought. It introduces a wide variety of cross-linguistic examples of the phenomenon and brings together authors from linguistic typology, corpus and interactional linguistics, and formal and functional theories of syntax to shed light on how talking about thoughts can become grammar in the languages of the world. The book should be of interest to linguists, philosophers of language, linguistic anthropologists and communication specialists seeking to understand topics at the boundary of stylistics and morphosyntax, as well as the grammar of epistemicity.

Download or read book Grammar written by Rachel Grenon and published by Bloomsbury USA. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ancient scholarly curriculum, grammar formed part of the Trivium, with its sister sciences of logic and rhetoric. Logic asks: When is a sentence true? Rhetoric asks: Which is the right sentence? Grammar purely asks: When is a sentence correct? In Grammar, Rachel Grenon defines the rules governing the construction of words, phrases, sentences, and extended text or speech. Beginning with the rules behind ancient languages such as Sanskrit and Greek, she then focuses on how the rules of English have developed-from nouns and pronouns, verbs and adverbs, to tenses, the passive voice, questions, imperatives, and much more. With diagrams, engravings, and witty cartoon illustrations, this original take on a classic subject is essential for anyone interested in language.

Download or read book Thinking English Grammar written by Xavier Dekeyser and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking English Grammar. To Honour Xavier Dekeyser, Professor Emeritus contains papers by 34 colleagues of professor Dekeyser on subjects that have interested him throughout his career. His research has mainly been devoted to the history of English, and it is only natural that the first and longest section should consist of 11 papers on variation in English, both diachronic and synchronic. The second, barely shorter with its 9 papers, is devoted to the description of various aspects of modern English; some of these papers shade off into theoretical linguistics. Professor Dekeyser having obtained his Ph.D. on grammaticography, there is a third section on "Grammar from the Past", with 5 papers. The final section, 9 papers on "Language Teaching and Contrast", honours the eminent teacher of literally thousands of budding anglicists.
Download or read book Foundations of Language written by Ray Jackendoff and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-01-24 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does human language work? How do we put ideas into words that others can understand? Can linguistics shed light on the way the brain operates? Foundations of Language puts linguistics back at the centre of the search to understand human consciousness. Ray Jackendoff begins by surveying the developments in linguistics over the years since Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. He goes on to propose a radical re-conception of how the brain processes language. This opens up vivid new perspectives on every major aspect of language and communication, including grammar, vocabulary, learning, the origins of human language, and how language relates to the real world. Foundations of Language makes important connections with other disciplines which have been isolated from linguistics for many years. It sets a new agenda for close cooperation between the study of language, mind, the brain, behaviour, and evolution.

Download or read book English Grammar written by Norman Foerster and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sentences and Thinking," originally published in 1919, is a practice book in correct sentence making, designed for American college students and for everyone interested in advanced studies of English. It is quite suitable for vigorous language review work and for raising awareness and improving English conversational and written skills. The authors have sought absolute essentials. Moreover, their exceedingly sensible approach asks readers to think out the reasons that lie behind grammatical and rhetorical rules. The heart of the book is a study of the principles of subordination, parallelism, emphasis, economy-all of which demand the prerequisite of clear thinking. "Sentences and Thinking" is an indispensable tool for English for academic purposes. Part of the project "Immortal Grammar Series" of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1919-not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. About the Authors: "Norman Foerster" was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1887. Before "Sentences and Thinking," he wrote "Writing and thinking: A Handbook of Composition and Revision," and "A Handbook of Revision: Part II of Writing and Thinking," both with John Marcellus Steadman, Jr. Foerster was an educator and critic whose main interest was American higher education. He earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University, a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, followed by doctoral degrees from the University of the South, in Tennessee; Grinnell College, in Iowa; and the University of North Carolina. He taught English at the University of Wisconsin, the University of North Carolina, the University of Iowa, and at Duke University. One of his most influential books is "Nature in American History" (1923). Foerster was also known as an advocate and a spokesman for the New Humanism movement, of literary and social criticism, that had its first expressions in the late nineteenth century; He was central in the publication of "Humanism and America": the intellectual manifesto of the New Humanists. He died in Palo Alto, California. "John Marcellus Steadman, Jr." was born in Greenwood, South Carolina, in 1889. He graduated from Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, where he also obtained a master's degree, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1916. Dr. Steadman served as instructor in Latin, and later headmaster at Wofford Fitting School, in Spartanburg, SC, and was a teaching fellow and instructor of English at the University of North Carolina. He was associate professor of English from 1919 to 1920, before becoming professor emeritus of English, at Emory University, GA. He wrote "Writing and thinking: A Handbook of Composition and Revision," and "A Handbook of Revision: Part II of Writing and Thinking," both with Norman Foerster, as well as several papers published by "American Speech," a quarterly academic journal of the "American Dialect Society," which was established in 1925 and is published by Duke University Press. He died in Tennessee in 1945, at the age of fifty-six years.
