  • Coordination and the Strong Minimalist Thesis

    by Stefanie Bode ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Linguistics
    This book unpacks coordination in the context of the Strong Minimalist Thesis (SMT), offering a new proposal for addressing this longstanding puzzle within research on Generative Grammar.The volume’s foundations are rooted in the SMT, which builds on the idea that laws of nature, such as simplicity, symmetry, and computational efficiency, shape the laws of language to their simplest form, as units ...

  • Casting a Minimalist Eye on Adjuncts

    by Stefanie Bode ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Linguistics
    This book offers a comprehensive account of adjuncts in generative grammar, seeking to reconcile the differing ways in which they have been treated in the past by proposing a method of analysis grounded in simplification based on Simplest Merge.The volume provides an up-to-date review of the existing literature on adjuncts and outlines their characteristic properties and the subsequent ...

  • The Geometry of Meaning

    Semantics Based on Conceptual Spaces

    A novel cognitive theory of semantics that proposes that the meanings of words can be described in terms of geometric structures.In The Geometry of Meaning, Peter Gärdenfors proposes a theory of semantics that bridges cognitive science and linguistics and shows how theories of cognitive processes, in particular concept formation, can be exploited in a general semantic model. He argues that our ... Read more

  • A Theory of Syntax

    Minimal Operations and Universal Grammar

    Human language seems to have arisen roughly within the last 50-100,000 years. In evolutionary terms, this is the mere blink of an eye. If this is correct, then much of what we consider distinctive to language must in fact involve operations available in pre-linguistic cognitive domains. In this book Norbert Hornstein, one of the most influential linguists working on syntax, discusses a topical set ... Read more

  • A Minimalist View on the Syntax–Semantics Relationship

    Turning the Mind into a Snowflake

    Series Book 8 - Studies in Philosophy of Language and Linguistics
    Current developments of the Minimalist Program in generative linguistics put the procedure of labeling syntactic objects at the center of the syntax–semantics transition. This book provides a discussion of consequences of such proposals for a proper analysis of different varieties of the operation Merge and their interpretive reflexes, as well as for the general theory of the syntax–semantics ...

  • Quantifiers and Cognition: Logical and Computational Perspectives

    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This volume on the semantic complexity of natural language explores the question why some sentences are more difficult than others. While doing so, it lays the groundwork for extending semantic theory with computational and cognitive aspects by combining linguistics and logic with computations and cognition.Quantifier expressions occur whenever we describe the world and communicate about it. ...

  • Foundations of Language

    Brain, Meaning, Grammar, Evolution

    How does human language work? How do we put ideas into words that others can understand? Can linguistics shed light on the way the brain operates? Foundations of Language puts linguistics back at the centre of the search to understand human consciousness. Ray Jackendoff begins by surveying the developments in linguistics over the years since Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. He goes ... Read more

  • Philosophy and Connectionist Theory

    Series series Developments in Connectionist Theory Series
    The philosophy of cognitive science has recently become one of the most exciting and fastest growing domains of philosophical inquiry and analysis. Until the early 1980s, nearly all of the models developed treated cognitive processes -- like problem solving, language comprehension, memory, and higher visual processing -- as rule-governed symbol manipulation. However, this situation has changed ... Read more
