Download or read book The Syntax of Multiple que Sentences in Spanish written by Julio Villa-García and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementizers offer a window into the architecture of the left-periphery and further our understanding of the demarcation of the boundaries between the C(omplementizer) and T(ense) domains. Using the articulated left-periphery as a laboratory and Spanish constructions featuring more than one complementizer as a point of departure, the author delivers new insights into the syntactic positions and behavior of Spanish complementizer que along the left edge. These observations have far-reaching consequences to such fundamental linguistic concepts as the derivation of left dislocations, ellipsis, and locality of movement. Of great interest to syntax graduate students and researchers in general, this volume provides a stepping stone to cracking the code on several current syntactic questions, including the widely-contested position of preverbal subjects in null-subject languages like Spanish. In addition, it offers the linguist a bountiful toolbox for the cross-linguistic investigation of a number of left-peripheral and clausal phenomena.

Download or read book English Syntax for Spanish Speakers written by Concha Castillo and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for intermediate to upper-intermediate university students of either English or Spanish syntax, Castillo's (linguistics, Malaga U., Spain) textbook examines English syntax and the most basic points of contrast between English and Spanish. The analysis centers around four types of English simple sentences--declarative, interrogative, exclamative, and imperative--and is carried out within the framework of Transformational-Generative Grammar. The text assumes the student possesses a solid intellectual concern and predisposition towards the study of language, but does not require previous in-depth study of transformational grammar.

Download or read book Universal Sentence Structure written by Yuko Sakai and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the reason of their variation F. de Saussure excluded 'sentences' from the linguistic study. Certainly, the forms of sentence, which contains from one-word sentences to multiple complex sentences, are almost infinitely different. Then, why do we call them all 'sentence'? What is the condition to call them 'sentence'? This work shows the reason why we recognize a group of sounds as a sentence. Though the phases of the moon are various from a full moon to a new moon, we all call them 'Moon'. We see the same reason in sentences and conclude what a sentence is after the examination of the universal sentence structure in Spanish sentences.

Download or read book Language and Gender written by Penelope Eckert and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language and Gender is an introduction to the study of the relation between gender and language use, written by two leading experts in the field. This new edition, thoroughly updated and restructured, brings out more strongly an emphasis on practice and change, while retaining the broad scope of its predecessor and its accessible introductions which explain the key concepts in a non-technical way. The authors integrate issues of sexuality more thoroughly into the discussion, exploring more diverse gendered and sexual identities and practices. The core emphasis is on change, both in linguistic resources and their use and in gender and sexual ideologies and personae. This book explores how change often involves conflict and competing norms, both social and linguistic. Drawing on their own extensive research, as well as other key literature, the authors argue that the connections between language and gender are deep yet fluid, and arise in social practice.

Download or read book Modeling Time in Computing written by Carlo A. Furia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models that include a notion of time are ubiquitous in disciplines such as the natural sciences, engineering, philosophy, and linguistics, but in computing the abstractions provided by the traditional models are problematic and the discipline has spawned many novel models. This book is a systematic thorough presentation of the results of several decades of research on developing, analyzing, and applying time models to computing and engineering. After an opening motivation introducing the topics, structure and goals, the authors introduce the notions of formalism and model in general terms along with some of their fundamental classification criteria. In doing so they present the fundamentals of propositional and predicate logic, and essential issues that arise when modeling time across all types of system. Part I is a summary of the models that are traditional in engineering and the natural sciences, including fundamental computer science: dynamical systems and control theory; hardware design; and software algorithmic and complexity analysis. Part II covers advanced and specialized formalisms dealing with time modeling in heterogeneous software-intensive systems: formalisms that share finite state machines as common “ancestors”; Petri nets in many variants; notations based on mathematical logic, such as temporal logic; process algebras; and “dual-language approaches” combining two notations with different characteristics to model and verify complex systems, e.g., model-checking frameworks. Finally, the book concludes with summarizing remarks and hints towards future developments and open challenges. The presentation uses a rigorous, yet not overly technical, style, appropriate for readers with heterogeneous backgrounds, and each chapter is supplemented with detailed bibliographic remarks and carefully chosen exercises of varying difficulty and scope. The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in computer science, while researchers and practitioners in other scientific and engineering disciplines interested in time modeling with a computational flavor will also find the book of value, and the comparative and conceptual approach makes this a valuable introduction for non-experts. The authors assume a basic knowledge of calculus, probability theory, algorithms, and programming, while a more advanced knowledge of automata, formal languages, and mathematical logic is useful.
