  • Semantics for Counting and Measuring

    par Susan Rothstein ...
    Collections series Key Topics in Semantics and Pragmatics
    The use of numerals in counting differs quite dramatically across languages. Some languages grammaticalise a contrast between count nouns (three cats, three books) vs 'non-count' or mass nouns (milk, mud), marking this distinction in different ways. Others use a system of numeral classifiers, while yet others use a combination of both. This book draws attention to the contrast between counting and ... En savoir plus

  • Predicates and Their Subjects

    par Susan Rothstein ...
    Collections series Social Sciences (R0)
    Predicates and their Subjects is an in-depth study of the syntax-semantics interface focusing on the structure of the subject-predicate relation. Starting from where the author's 1983 dissertation left off, the book argues that there is syntactic constraint that clauses (small and tensed) are constructed out of a one-place unsaturated expression, the predicate, which must be applied to a syntactic ...

Each chapter ... En savoir plus

  • Victor Dudman's Grammar and Semantics

    par J. Curthoys, V. Dudman ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Victor Dudman's revolutionary English Grammar brings grammar and logic together by conceiving grammar as 'the necessary preliminary to logic'. The focus, for logicians, is the discussion of 'conditionals'; for grammarians it is the concise and accurate explanation of the infamous English modals. ... En savoir plus

  • Introduction to Montague Semantics

    par D. R. Dowty, S. Peters, R. Wall ...
    Collections series Social Sciences (R0)
    In this book we hope to acquaint the reader with the fundamentals of truth conditional model-theoretic semantics, and in particular with a version of this developed by Richard Montague in a series of papers published during the 1960's and early 1970's. In many ways the paper 'The Proper Treatment of Quantification in Ordinary English' (commonly abbreviated PTQ) represents the culmination of ... En savoir plus

  • What Is Meaning?

    par Scott Soames ...
    Collections series Soochow University Lectures in Philosophy
    The tradition descending from Frege and Russell has typically treated theories of meaning either as theories of meanings (propositions expressed), or as theories of truth conditions. However, propositions of the classical sort don't exist, and truth conditions can't provide all the information required by a theory of meaning. In this book, one of the world's leading philosophers of language offers ... En savoir plus

  • Different Kinds of Specificity Across Languages

    Modifié par Cornelia Ebert, Stefan Hinterwimmer ...
    Collections series Social Sciences (R0)
    This anthology of papers analyzes a range of specificity markers found in natural languages. It reflects the fact that despite intensive research into these markers, the vast differences between the markers across languages and even within single languages have been less acknowledged. Commonly regarded specific indefinites are by no means a homogenous class, and so this volume fills a gap in our ... En savoir plus

  • Semantic Prosody

    A Critical Evaluation

    par Dominic Stewart ...
    Collections series Routledge Advances in Corpus Linguistics
    Semantic Prosody is the first full-length treatment of semantic prosody, a concept akin to connotation but which connects crucially with typical lexical environment. For example, it has been claimed that the adverb 'utterly' is characterised by an unfavourable semantic prosody on account of its habitual co-occurrence with words denoting unfavourable states of affairs such as 'ridiculous', ...

  • Speech Act Theory and Pragmatics

    Modifié par John Searle, F. Kiefer, M. Bierwisch ...
    Collections series Social Sciences (R0)
    In the study of language, as in any other systematic study, there is no neutral terminology. Every technical term is an expression of the assumptions and theoretical presuppositions of its users; and in this introduction, we want to clarify some of the issues that have surrounded the assumptions behind the use of the two terms "speech acts" and "pragmatics". The notion of a speech act is fairly ... En savoir plus
