Book Details
- Authors are a roll-call of leading linguists, including Jackendoff, Langacker, Givón, Biber, Rizzi, Cinque, and Fillmore
- A comprehensive guide to contemporary linguistic theory
- Shows which frameworks work best in which contexts
This handbook compares the main analytic frameworks and methods of contemporary linguistics. It offers a unique overview of linguistic theory, revealing the common concerns of competing approaches. By showing their current and potential applications it provides the means by which linguists and others can judge what are the most useful models for the task in hand. Distinguished scholars from all over the world explain the rationale and aims of over thirty explanatory approaches to the description, analysis, and understanding of language. Each chapter considers the main goals of the model; the relation it proposes between lexicon, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology; the way it defines the interaction between cognition and grammar; what it counts as evidence; and how it explains linguistic change and structure.
Readership: Everyone researching any aspect of language including those in linguistics, comparative philology, cognitive science, developmental psychology, computational science, and artificial intelligence.
