Taylor & Francis Ltd Formal Grammar
Book SynopsisThis volume draws together fourteen previously published papers which explore the nature of mental grammar through a formal, generative approach. The book begins by outlining the development of formal grammar in the last fifty years, with a particular focus on the work of Noam Chomsky, and moves into an examination of a diverse set of phenomena in various languages that shed light on theory and model construction. Many of the papers focus on comparisons between English and Norwegian, highlighting the importance of comparative approaches to the study of language. With a comprehensive collection of papers that demonstrate the richness of formal approaches, this volume is key reading for students and scholars interested in the study of grammar.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part A: Transformational constraints1 Brief Overview of the History of Generative Grammar 2 Noam Chomsky: A selected annotated bibliography 3 Comp-t Effects: Variation in the Position and Features of C 4 Freezing Effects and Objects 5 Medial-wh Phenomena, Parallel Movement, and Parameters 6 Sentential subjects in English and Norwegian 7 Be careful how you use the left periphery Part B: The syntax-semantics interface8 Negative Concord and (Multiple) Agree: A Case Study of West Flemish 9 Medial adjunct PPs in English: Implications for the syntax of sentential negation 10 Neodavidsonianism in semantics and syntax 11 Interrogatives, Instructions, and I-languages: An I-Semantics for Questions Part C: Multilingualism and formal grammar12 Generative grammar and language mixing 13 Language mixing and exoskeletal theory: A case study of word-internal mixing in American Norwegian14 Grammatical Gender in American Norwegian Heritage Language: Stability or attrition?

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Metaphor Compass
Book SynopsisThe Metaphor Compass: Directions for Metaphor Research in Language, Cognition, Communication, and Creativity provides a roadmap to navigate the recent findings and cutting-edge research conducted around the world on metaphor, focusing on the following four themes: Metaphor and Linguistic Diversity, Metaphor and Cognition, Metaphor and Communication, and Metaphor and Creativity.The research presented in this book employs a variety of empirical methods, ranging from neuroimaging to corpus analyses and from behavioral experimentation to computational modeling. Divided into four parts, it offers an array of pedagogical material including activities at the ends of the chapters to help the reader to consolidate the notions discussed in the chapter.This is a useful resource for students, researchers, and scholars of linguistics, communication, anthropology, psychology, and cognitive science looking to learn about figurative language and creativity.Trade ReviewThis book is a real tour de force. It provides an excellent, detailed and thought-provoking account of how and why metaphor use varies across different speakers and across languages. It provides interesting insights into the nature of creative metaphor and the relationship it has with creative thinking more generally. A must-read for metaphor researchers and students.Jeannette Littlemore, University of Birmingham, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionPART I - Metaphor and Linguistic Diversity Chapter 1: Metaphoric expressions around the world: Variability and motivations 1.1 Key aspects and open questions: types of metaphoric expressions 1.2.
