Across the world, professional linguistic inquiry is in full bloom, largely as result of pioneering thinkers who helped rapidly modernize the study of human language in the last century. As the field continues to move forward, further solidifying its...Daugiau...

This book offers an original treatment of the lexical form look. The work is innovative in that it establishes that the Columbia School conception of an invariant meaning - hitherto found primarily in grammar - is equally operative in core vocabulary...Daugiau...

This book offers an original treatment of the Italian clitic si. Sharply separating encoded grammar from inference in discourse, it proposes a unitary meaning for si, including impersonals, passives, and reflexives. Si signals third-person participan...Daugiau...

Syntax puts our meaning ("e;semantics"e;) into sentences, and phonology puts the sentences into the sounds that we hear and there must, surely, be a structure in the meaning that is expressed in the syntax and phonology. Some writers use the...Daugiau...
This volume applies a sign-oriented approach to the description of articulatory and acoustic iconic phenomena in James Joyces Ulysses. In its hypothesis, the greater the role of sensory experience in the message of a text, the more likely it is to e...Daugiau...
This volume, a case study on the grammar of third person references in two genres of spoken Ecuadorian Spanish, examines from a discourse-analytic perspective how genre affects linguistic patterns and how researchers can look for and interpret genre...Daugiau...
This volume presents an analysis of Russian case from a sign-oriented perspective. The study was inspired by William Divers analysis of Latin case and follows the spirit of the Columbia School of linguistics. The fundamental premise that underlies t...Daugiau...
The differences among functionalist, cognitivist and/or constructionist models are generally taken to be not absolute, but rather a matter of emphasis and degree, with an increasing permeability between paradigms arising from cross-fertilizing influe...Daugiau...
Usage-based approaches to language have gained increasing attention in the last two decades. The importance of change and variation has always been recognized in this framework, but has never received central attention. It is the main aim of this boo...Daugiau...
Sharing certain assumptions but differing in theory and practice, both Columbia School linguistics (CS) and Cognitive Grammar (CG) have increasingly supported their analyses with quantitative evidence. Citation of individual sentences, in isolation o...Daugiau...
This volume presents an in-depth study of the so-called irregular Past Tense (sing/sang) and Noun Plural (foot/feet) forms with Internal Vowel Alternation (IVA) in English demonstrating that they possess both a fixed phonological and semantic regular...Daugiau...
