MIT Press Ltd And Conjunction Reduction Redux The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA bold argument that “and” always means “&,” the truth-functional sentential connective.In this book, Barry Schein argues that “and” is always the sentential logical connective with the same, one, meaning. “And” always means “&,” across the varied constructions in which it is tokened in natural language. Schein examines the constructions that challenge his thesis, and shows that the objections disappear when these constructions are translated into Eventish, a neo-Davidsonian event semantics, and, enlarged with Cinerama Semantics, a vocabulary for spatial orientation and navigation. Besides rescuing “and” from ambiguity, Eventish and Cinerama Semantics solve general puzzles of grammar and meaning unrelated to conjunction, revealing the book's central thesis in the process: aspects of meaning mistakenly attributed to “and” are discovered to reflect neighboring structures previously unseen and un

MIT Press Ltd Natural Language Semantics Formation and
Book SynopsisAn introduction to natural language semantics that offers an overview of the empirical domain and an explanation of the mathematical concepts that underpin the discipline.This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of those approaches to natural language semantics that use the insights of logic. Many other texts on the subject focus on presenting a particular theory of natural language semantics. This text instead offers an overview of the empirical domain (drawn largely from standard descriptive grammars of English) as well as the mathematical tools that are applied to it. Readers are shown where the concepts of logic apply, where they fail to apply, and where they might apply, if suitably adjusted. The presentation of logic is completely self-contained, with concepts of logic used in the book presented in all the necessary detail. This includes propositional logic, first order predicate logic, generalized quantifier theory, and the Lambek an

MIT Press What It All Means Semantics for Almost Everything
Book SynopsisHow meaning works—from monkey calls to human language, from spoken language to sign language, from gestures to music—and how meaning is connected to truth.We communicate through language, connecting what we mean to the words we say. But humans convey meaning in other ways as well, with facial expressions, hand gestures, and other methods. Animals, too, can get their meanings across without words. In What It All Means, linguist Philippe Schlenker explains how meaning works, from monkey calls to human language, from spoken language to sign language, from gestures to music. He shows that these extraordinarily diverse types of meaning can be studied and compared within a unified approach—one in which the notion of truth plays a central role. “It’s just semantics” is often said dismissively. But Schlenker shows that semantics—the study of meaning—is an unsung success of modern linguistics, a way to inv

University of Washington Press The Linguistics of Lying And Other Essays
Book SynopsisBrings thinking about semantics to bear on the question of how, and how much, language corresponds to thought. This title argues that lying is a function not of words but of sentences; it belongs to the semantic aspect of language. It forges links between linguistic and literary categories on the one hand and ethics and good manners on the other.Table of ContentsIntroduction The Linguistics of Lying Jonah’s Sign: On the Very Large and the Very Small in Literature Politeness, an Affair of Honor Politeness and Sincerity The Style Is the Man Is the Devil

Random House USA Inc Writing the Mind Alive The Proprioceptive Method
Book SynopsisDiscover the revolutionary writing practice that can transform your life!In 1976, Linda Trichter Metcalf, then a university English professor, sat down with pen and paper and intuitively started a self-guided writing practice that helped to bring herself into focus and clarify her life as never before. She and a colleague, Tobin Simon, introduced this original method into their classrooms. They experienced such solid response from their students that, for the last twenty-five years, they have devoted themselves to teaching what has now become the respected practice of Proprioceptive Writing®-in workshops, secondary and elementary schools, and college psychology and writing classes around the country, among them the New School University.“Proprioception” comes from the Latin proprius, meaning “one’s own,” and this writing method helps synthesize emotion and imagination, generating authentic insight and catharsis.

The University of Michigan Press Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom v. 1
Book SynopsisCurrent methodological research has found that in order for learners to acquire language that is both linguistically accurate and socially appropriate, their awareness of patterns and of what is systematic about language must be developed. In Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom, Heidi Riggenbach has compiled activities that will foster this awareness by putting students in the role of discourse analysts and language researchers so that they may learn the patterns and systems for themselves. This book is intended for ESL/EFL teachers who wish to have a better understanding of discourse analysis as it applies to the language classroom and who need to design courses and materials with the goal of developing students' skills as researchers in acquiring their new language. The book includes: an overview of discourse analysis and its relevance to language teachers and learners; background material on the interesting features pertaining to oral language skills; presentation of te

Book SynopsisOffers an incisive exploration of the limitations and possibilities of democratic discourse for resolving conflicts in urban communities. Candice Rai roots her study of democratic politics and publics in a range of urban case studies focused on public art, community policing, and urban development.Trade Review“Democracy’s Lot is one of the most interesting, original, and important studies I have read in a long time. Not only a fascinating story about gentrification and resistance in the contemporary North American city, it’s also a model of original sociological research, using a methodology the author calls ‘rhetorical ethnography,’ which combines the deep, sustained, social immersion of ethnography with the detailed, critical discourse analysis of rhetoric. Above all, Rai makes a timely, ground-breaking intervention into the study of contemporary democracy, putting the lie to both uncritical celebrations of free and open public spheres and radical critiques of democracy in the era of neoliberalism.” —David Fleming, author of City of Rhetoric: Revitalizing the Public Sphere in Metropolitan America""Candice Rai presents an innovative methodological framework that employs textual analysis and fieldwork to study the interactions of housing debates, street protests, public art, visceral bodily responses, and new media technologies. Fieldwork presents an exciting opportunity to expand the field of inquiry for rhetorical scholarship that typically lies outside of our reach. However, Rai adds to and extends this line of inquiry by drawing explicit connections between text-centered rhetorical themes and concepts (like topoi) and the field as a place of rhetorical practice.” —Robert Asen, coeditor of Public Modalities: Rhetoric, Culture, Media, and the Shape of Public Life

Each contribution stands as a dramatic reminder of the relevance of Applied Linguistics to the precarious political moment we find ourselves in. * Rodney H. Jones, Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Reading, UK *At a time when many of us are bewildered and dismayed by the political terrain we find ourselves navigating, Chun has assembled an international gathering of extraordinary, insightful scholars, including the now-late Jan Blommaert, who offer analyses of languaging and discourse practices across a shockingly broad array of (often under-researched) communities and realms and shed much-needed clarity on the crucial question of how the work of applied linguists can change the political conditions of lives.” * Suhanthie Motha, Associate Professor, English Department, University of Washington, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction, Christian W.
