Hardcover with dustjacket. Condition: Gut. XIII, 388 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT…). - Schutzumschlag berieben, leichte Randläsuren, Sticker auf Buchrücken, Kopfschnitt fleckig, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatz, sonst guter Zustand / dust jacket rubbed, light edge wear, sticker on spine, top edge stained, pencil annotation on endpaper, otherwise good condition. - Introductory books raise problems which often beg complex answers, but the authors of Foundations of General Linguistics do not shy away from such questions, even when they do not lead on to straightforward answers. The discipline of linguistics opens up a vast range of unsolved problems and the authors have seen their task in this book as being to provide readers with the techniques and terminology for beginning to think about them for themselves. This is an introduction which does not presuppose that the reader has any prior knowledge of linguistics, or of any of the other disciplines on which it touches. Divided into three parts, on the nature, the structure and the use of language, it will be invaluable to every serious student of linguistics and very useful to undergraduates following a linguistics course as part of a broadly based scheme of study. Each chapter offers a helpful introduction to its subjectmatter and concludes with a set of exercises, some providing a basis for class discussion, some for students to work on individually and some involving the collection and analysis of data. The annotated bibliographies for each chapter, which direct the reader to more advanced and comprehensive texts and offer references to original articles which are relevant to the arguments developed, are a valuable adjunct. / Contents Preface Acknowledgements International Phonetic Alphabet PART ONE THE NATURE OF LANGUAGE Chapter 1 Are Humans Unique? 1.1 On origins 1.2 Rules and creativity 1.3 Animal communication and the design features of language 1.4 Genetic transmission of language 1.5 Human-like language in chimpanzees? 1.6 The functional significance of Hocketts design features 1.7 Structure and function in language 1.8 Saussures structuralist linguistics Exercises Bibliography Chapter 2 The Data of Linguistics and the Nature of Learning 2.1 Structuralist linguistics and behaviourist psychology 2.2 Objections to a corpus-based approach 2.3 Rules and intuitions - mentalist linguistics 2.4 Objections to mentalist linguistics 2.5 Native language learning; empiricism versus rationalism 2.6 External evidence for language innateness 2.7 An internal argument for innateness Exercises Bibliography PART TWO THE STRUCTURE OF LANGUAGE Chapter 3 Phonetics 3.1 Primacy of spoken language 3.2 Sound waves 3.3 Air vibration 3.4 Voice production 3.5 Respiration and speech airstream mechanism 3.6 Analysis and classification of vowels 3.7 Liquids and fricatives 3.8 Places of articulation 3.9 Stops and affricates 3.10 Voicing and nasalisation 3.11 Suprasegmentals Exercises Bibliography Chapter 4 Phonology 4.1 Physical sound and linguistic sound 4.2 Contextual variation of sound 4.3 Criteria of analysis 4.4 Daniel Jones and the phoneme 4.5 Sapirs psychological approach 4.6 Discovery procedures 4.7 Classification of phonemes 4.8 Distinctive features 4.9 Rules and formalism Exercises Bibliography Chapter 5 Morphology 5.1 The morpheme as the basic unit 5.2 Phonologically conditioned morphological variation 5.3 Boundaries between morphemes - the morph 5.4 The word - definitional criteria 5.5 Morphological classification of languages 5.6 Approaches to morphological description Exercises Bibliography Chapter 6 Syntax 6.1 The subject-matter of syntax 6.2 Parts of speech and syntactic relations 6.3 The constituency approach 6.4 Evaluating alternative approaches 6.5 Motivating a transformational approac.
