Download or read book Information Structuring of Spoken Language from a Cross linguistic Perspective written by M. M. Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information structure and the organization of oral texts have been rarely studied crosslinguistically. This book contains studies of the grammatical organization of information in languages from different areas (e.g. Amazonian, Finno-Ugric, South-Asian) from a variety of theoretical angles. It will be a valuable resource for researchers investigating the interaction of morphosyntax and discourse in familiar and less familiar languages.
Download or read book Expressive Meaning Across Linguistic Levels and Frameworks written by Andreas Trotzke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to explore the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different levels of linguistic complexity. Research on the language-emotion interface has to date concentrated primarily on the conceptual dimension of emotions as expressed via language, with semantic and pragmatic studies dominating the field. The chapters in this book, in contrast, bring together work from different linguistic frameworks: generative syntax, functional and usage-based linguistics, formal semantics and pragmatics, and experimental phonology. The volume contributes to the growing field of research that explores the interaction between linguistic expressions and the 'expressive dimension' of language, and will be of interest to linguists from a range of theoretical backgrounds who are interested in the language-emotion interface.
Download or read book The Handbook of Lexical Functional Grammar written by Mary Dalrymple and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 2192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a nontransformational theory of linguistic structure, first developed in the 1970s by Joan Bresnan and Ronald M. Kaplan, which assumes that language is best described and modeled by parallel structures representing different facets of linguistic organization and information, related by means of functional correspondences. This volume has five parts. Part I, Overview and Introduction, provides an introduction to core syntactic concepts and representations. Part II, Grammatical Phenomena, reviews LFG work on a range of grammatical phenomena or constructions. Part III, Grammatical modules and interfaces, provides an overview of LFG work on semantics, argument structure, prosody, information structure, and morphology. Part IV, Linguistic disciplines, reviews LFG work in the disciplines of historical linguistics, learnability, psycholinguistics, and second language learning. Part V, Formal and computational issues and applications, provides an overview of computational and formal properties of the theory, implementations, and computational work on parsing, translation, grammar induction, and treebanks. Part VI, Language families and regions, reviews LFG work on languages spoken in particular geographical areas or in particular language families. The final section, Comparing LFG with other linguistic theories, discusses LFG work in relation to other theoretical approaches.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Multilinguiste de terrain, enseignante passionnée, femme militante, traductrice primée, M.M. Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest ne pouvait que recevoir l'hommage du présent volume à son travail de haut niveau. Les nombreux domaines auxquels elle continue de consacrer ses recherches (plus de deux cents publications) concernent essentiellement la typologie cognitive et informationnelle, la littérature orale, les langues ouraliennes, en particulier celles de l'ensemble fennique et du groupe same. Initialement intéressée par les cultures de la Fennoscandie, Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest est devenue la principale spécialiste française et une des principales spécialistes mondiales (outre les chercheurs finnois) de cette région du nord de l'Europe. Précurseuse en de nombreux domaines ou concepts phares de la linguistique générale, tels la Structuration Informationnelle, les Détachements, les Particules Énonciatives, elle a appliqué son esprit au service du développement des études dans les domaines linguistique et cognitif, mais encore des recherches théoriques sur l'organisation du discours, la grammaire de l'information et les caractéristiques particulières du dialogue d'oralité. Cet hommage contient un avant-propos rédigé par Claude Hagège, avec qui Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest entretient une longue et sincère amitié, et rassemble dix-neuf contributions de collègues, disciples et amis du maître, qui expertisent les langues les plus diverses : allemand, anglais, coréen, espagnol, estonien, finnois, français, gotique, grec homérique, haruai, hébreu, hindi, hongrois, japonais, komi, latin, mari, oudmourte, russe, same, sanskrit, thaï, vietnamien, yiddish, youkaguir, jusqu'au langage mathématique et le langage lui-même."--Page 4 de la couverture.

This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is intended as a reference book on Detachment Constructions (DECs) in the Information Structuring of oral and spoken languages. Focusing on DECs in a textual perspective, the book is an innovative contribution to the knowledge of oral and spoken languages, some of them widespread (Indo-European), others less taught (Finno-Ugric).
Download or read book Partitive Cases and Related Categories written by Silvia Luraghi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argument-marking, morphological partitives have been the topic of language specific studies, while no cross-linguistic or typological analyses have been conducted. Since individual partitives of different languages have been studied, there exists a basis for a more cross-linguistic approach. The purpose of this book is to fill the gap and to bring together research on partitives in different languages.

This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the Proceedings of the ‘Uralic Studies’ Seminar: The State of the Art of Uralic Studies: Tradition vs Innovation, held in Padua (Italy), November 12-13, 2016. The seminar was organized by the Department of ‘Studi Linguistici e Letterari’ of Padua University and the ‘Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia’ of Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of the seminar, and of this volume, was / is to bring together linguists working on the Uralic languages from different perspectives, with the purpose of increasing the exchange of ideas and fostering mutual influences on each other field and methods of analysis. In addition to presenting the current ‘state of the art of Uralic studies’ – for specialists, general linguists and general public – the volume also addresses some issues related to the so-called ‘Ural-Altaic theory’, nowadays often referred to as the ‘Ural-Altaic linguistic belt, unique typological belt’. The contributors to the volume are renown scholars of Uralic, and also Altaic languages, from various European universities, such as Moscow, Helsinki, Paris, Budapest etc.
Download or read book Approaches to Cognition through Text and Discourse written by Tuija Virtanen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to explore the overlapping area of study that discourse linguists and cognitive linguists are interested in. In doing so, the volume contributes to bridging the gap between these two large groups of linguists who share an interest in discourse processing but approach the area from very different perspectives and frames of reference. The starting point of this volume is text and discourse. The book includes an overview section and a number of carefully selected contributions which highlight central issues in the study of text and discourse attempting to give them cognitive explanations. In responding to the current interest in the area of discourse and cognition, the volume has adopted a wide scope which allows its individual chapters to focus on textual and situational contexts as well as the context of culture and society at large. The volume also provides its readership with a useful selection of methods used in the studies which form the basis of its chapters. The contributions, all by established linguists with highest qualifications, present new findings which have important theoretical implications. They offer unique and fresh analyses of central discourse phenomena in cognitive light and revealing discussions of the avenues opened to us at this stage of the development of the study of discourse and cognition. This accessible research volume will be essential reading for scholars and advanced students of linguistics and languages.

Download or read book Sign Languages of the World written by Julie Bakken Jepsen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 1086 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a number of edited collections deal with either the languages of the world or the languages of particular regions or genetic families, only a few cover sign languages or even include a substantial amount of information on them. This handbook provides information on some 38 sign languages, including basic facts about each of the languages, structural aspects, history and culture of the Deaf communities, and history of research. This information will be of interest not just to general audiences, including those who are deaf, but also to linguists and students of linguistics. By providing information on sign languages in a manner accessible to a less specialist audience, this volume fills an important gap in the literature.
