Principles of Semiotic

by David S. Clarke ...

Series series Routledge Library Editions: Semantics and Semiology
First published in 1987, this book is an attempt to re-establish semiotic on the basis of principles consistent with its past history, rather than the ‘cultural semiotics’ of the European tradition, and especially with the guiding ideas of Peirce and Morris. The book is divided into two parts, with the first two chapters providing the background for the more systematic discussions of signs at ... Read more

A Grammatical Study

by Marianne Hundt, Christian Mair, Nicholas Smith, Geoffrey Leech ...

Series series Studies in English Language
Based on the systematic analysis of large amounts of computer-readable text, this book shows how the English language has been changing in the recent past, often in unexpected and previously undocumented ways. The study is based on a group of matching corpora, known as the 'Brown family' of corpora, supplemented by a range of other corpus materials, both written and spoken, drawn mainly from the ...

Topics in Kwa Syntax

Edited by Enoch O. Aboh, James Essegbey ...

Series series Social Sciences (R0)
This book grew out of a concern we have had that very many theoretical and descriptive work on the Kwa languages were not accessible to the general linguistic community. As a result, these languages were only referred to in the context of very specific discussions such as serial verb constructions. But as the reader of this book will notice, syntactic topics discussed in the context of Kwa range ... Read more

Differences between British and American English

Edited by Günter Rohdenburg, Julia Schlüter ...

Series series Studies in English Language
It is well known that British and American English differ substantially in their pronunciation and vocabulary - but differences in their grammar have largely been underestimated.

The History of Modern Chinese Grammar Studies

by Peter Peverelli ...

This book discusses the way Chinese scholars developed a national grammar. Chinese didn’t develop grammar until China’s contact with Western grammar books in the 19th Century. The first indigenous grammar was published in 1889. It included some traditional notions, but mainly imitated European grammar. It was followed by a number of other similar works. To move away from this imitation, a group of ... Read more

A Theory of Case and Arguments

by A. Neeleman, F. Weerman ...

Series series Social Sciences (R0)
Most linguistic theories assume that each grammatical relation is established in a unique structural configuration. Neeleman and Weerman take issue with this view, arguing for a more flexible approach on the basis of conceptual considerations and data taken mostly, but not exclusively, from the Germanic languages. In-depth analyses of word order phenomena as well as diachronic and typological ... Read more
