Primitive Elements of Grammatical Theory / Katherine McKinney-Bock

Public ISBD Titre : Primitive Elements of Grammatical Theory : Papers by Jean-Roger Vergnaud and His Collaborators Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Katherine McKinney-Bock, Auteur ; Maria Luisa Zubizarreta, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Leading Linguists Importance : 292 p. Format : 22.86 x 15.75 x 2.29 centimetres (0.54 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-70539-4 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Grammatical-Theory. Résumé : This book is a compilation of manuscripts and publications from 2001-2010 by Jean-Roger Vergnaud, in collaboration with colleagues and students. This work is guided by the scientific belief that broader mathematical principles should guide linguistic inquiry, as they guide classical biology and physics. From this, Vergnaud's hypotheses take the representation of the computational component of language to a more abstract level: one that derives constituent structure. He treats linguistic features as primitives, and argues that a 2 x n matrix allows for multiple discrete dimensions to represent symmetries in linguistic features and to derive the fabric of syntax (and perhaps of phonology as well). Three primary research questions guide the core of these papers. (A) Methodologically, how can broadly defined mathematical/cognitive principles guide linguistic investigation? (B) To what extent do general mathematical principles apply across linguistic domains? What principles guide computation at different levels of linguistic structure (phonology, metrical structure, syntax)? (C) How is the computational domain defined? In these manuscripts, Vergnaud's goal is not to radically depart from the Minimalist Program within generative grammar, but rather to take the underlying goal of the generative program and bring it to an even more general scientific level. The themes of symmetry and periodicity in this book reflect his goal of scientific progress in linguistics, and he has opened the doors to new exploration of old empirical problems in linguistics that may, someday, have deeper biological and physical explanations through the theory presented in this publication.

Theoretical Comparative Syntax / Naoki Fukui

Public ISBD Titre : Theoretical Comparative Syntax : Studies in Macroparameters Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Naoki Fukui, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Routledge Leading Linguists Importance : 432 p. Format : 23.4 x 15.6 x 2.5 centimetres (0.64 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-86012-3 Langues : Anglais Résumé : Collected for the first time in a single volume, these essays and articles by Naoki Fukui form an outline of some of the most significant and formative contributions to syntactic theory. Focusing particularly on the typological differences between English/type language and Japanese/type languages, Fukui examines the abstract parameters that both link and divide them. Linguistic universals are considered in the light of cross-linguistic variation and typological (parametric) differences are investigated from the viewpoint of universal principles. The book's main focus is the nature and structure of invariant principles and parameters (variables) and how they interact to give principled accounts to a variety of seemingly unrelated differences between English and Japanese. The contrasts between these two types of language is an ideal testing ground, since the languages are superficially different in virtually every aspect of their linguistic structures from word order and wh-movement, to grammatical agreement and case-marking systems, among many others. These articles constitute a considerable contribution to the development of the principles-and-parameters model in its exploration and refinement of theoretical concepts and fundamental principles of linguistic theory, leading to some of the basic insights that lie behind the minimalist program.
