Taylor & Francis Ltd Modern Chinese Complex Sentences I
Book SynopsisThis book is the first of a four-volume set on modern Chinese complex sentences, and is focused on the overall characteristics and the casual complex sentences in the language in particular.Complex sentences in modern Chinese are unique in information and meaning. The author proposes a tripartite classification of Chinese complex sentences according to the semantic relationships between the clauses, that is, coordinated, causal, and adversative. The first part of this volume defines Chinese complex sentences, introduces the properties, scope, and functions of complex sentence relationship markers, and makes detailed comparisons between the tripartite and dichotomous systems for the classification of complex sentences. The second part thoroughly investigates causal complex sentences in their eight typical forms.The book will be a useful reference for scholars and learners interested in Chinese grammar and language information processing.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Merge in the MindBrain
Book SynopsisThis collection of nine papers brings together Naoki Fukui's pioneering body of work on Merge, the basic operation of human language syntax, from the two distinct but related perspectives of theoretical syntax and neurosciences. Part I presents an overview of the development of the theory of Merge and its current formulations in linguistic theory, highlighting the author's previously published papers in theoretical syntax, while Part II focuses on experimental research on Merge in the brain science of language, demonstrating how new techniques and the results they produce can inform the study of syntactic structures in the brain in the future.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beyond Names for Things
Book SynopsisMost research on children''s lexical development has focused on their acquisition of names for concrete objects. This is the first edited volume to focus specifically on how children acquire their early verbs. Verbs are an especially important part of the early lexicon because of the role they play in children''s emerging grammatical competence. The contributors to this book investigate: * children''s earliest words for actions and events and the cognitive structures that might underlie them, * the possibility that the basic principles of word learning which apply in the case of nouns might also apply in the case of verbs, and the role of linguistic context, especially argument structure, in the acquisition of verbs. A central theme in many of the chapters is the comparison of the processes of noun and verb learning. Several contributors make provocative suggestions for constructing theories of lexical development that encompass the full range of lexical items Trade Review"...a welcome look at the problem of first language verb-learning in young children....the papers cogently spell out the complexity of the verb-learner's problem and the variety of processes required to solve it. A number of interesting, counterintuitive, and often controversial claims emerge....there is a good deal of thematic coherence among subsets of the chapters, which makes reading all the more interesting by pointing out key issues and discrepant claims....a timely volume reporting some of the best current work on the problem of verb-learning in children."—Studies in Second Language Acquisition"...a stimulating collection of papers which not only provides an accurate reflection of the current state of the field, but also allows the reader to compare directly approaches which are more or less diametrically opposed."—British Journal of Developmental Psychology"This book presents many fascinating classic and innovative philosophies and empirical backgrounds designed to focus on longuistic and cognitive peculiarities of verb meaning acquisition."—American Journal of PsychologyTable of ContentsContents: W.E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pronouns and Word Order in Old English
Book SynopsisFirst published in 2003, this is a study of the syntactic behaviour of personal pronoun subjects and the indefinite pronoun man in Old English. It focuses on differences in word order as compared to full noun phrases. In generative work on Old English, noun phrases are usually divided into two categories: ''nominal'' and ''pronominal''. The latter category has typically been restricted to personal pronouns, but despite striking similarities to the behaviour of nominals there were good reasons to believe that man should be grouped with personal pronouns. This book explores the investigation carried out with the aid of the Toronto Corpus, which confirmed this hypothesis.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Topicalisation and (non-)inversion 3. Other aspects of word order in relation to man 4. On the status of man and personal pronouns 5. Topics in Old English clause structure 6. Conclusion; Bibliography

An overview of the SFG model - what it is and how it works. Advice and practice on identifying elements of language structure such as clauses and clause constituents. Numerous examples of text analysis using the categories introduced, and discussion about what the analysis shows. Exercises to test comprehension, along with answers for guidance. The third edition is updated throughout, and is based closely on the fourth edition of Halliday and Matthiessen''s IntroducTrade ReviewThis… is a more detailed and user-friendly introductionto an approach to grammar through meaning and function. Functionalgrammar is presented here in a context that enables a broadersocio-cultural orientation to be shown of how language works. Thompsondoes this with clarity and the engagement of his readers in the courseof ten chapters ... The book also provides a detailed index,suggestions for answers to exercises, a comprehensive list ofreferences, as well as five pages of further reading, related to eachchapter. This is especially helpful for beginners and researchers, notto mention teachers ...
