An Introduction to Discourse Analysis:Theory and Method

作者：  [美]James Paul Gee著;杨信彰导读

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2000

简介：　　"If you only read one book on discourse analysis, this is the one to read. Gee shows us that discourse analysis is about a lot more than linguistic study; it's about how to keep from, as he says, 'getting physically, socially, culturally, or morally “bitten”by the world'.” ron scollon, Georgetown University James Paul Gee presents here his unique integrated approach to discourse analysis: the analysis of spoden and written language as it is used to enact social and cultural perspectives and identities. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, James Paul Gee presents both a theory of language-in-use, as well as a method of research. This method is made up of a set of "tools of inquiry" and strategies for using them. Clearly structured and written in a highly acceesible style. the book presents these tools of inquiry alongside the theory of language-in-use. They are then placed in the framework of an overall approach to discourse analysis. Finally an extended example of discourse analysis is presented using some of the tools and strategies developed earlier in the book. Perspectives from a variety of approaches and disciplines, including applied linguistics, educaion. Psychology. anthropology, and comunication, are incorporated to help students and scholars from a range of backgrounds formulate their own views on discourse and engage in their own discourse analyses. James Paul Gee is the tashia Morgridge Professor of Reading at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His previous publications include social inguistics and iteracies, the social Mind, and The New Work order(with Glynda Hull and Colin Lankshear).

Semantics

作者：  [英]John I.Saeed著;吴一安导读

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2000

简介：　　This lively book provides a truly comprehensive introduction to current linguistic semantics. Used in introductory and intermediate courses in semantics, it will supply teachers with an easy to use basic text and students with an accessible source of dependable information'. Ronnie Cann, University of Edinburgh. "This is a solid, well-written and very comprehensive textbook that will prove an invaluable resource in introductory semantics classes. The exercises are especially useful and the sections on theoretical approaches represent ideal links to more advanced semantic theory' David Adger, University of York This volume provides an engaging introduction to semantics for readers new to the subject. The book has three sections. Part I is concerned with the place of semantics within linguistics and its relation with the disciplines of philosophy and psychology. Part II introduces central topics in the description of word and sentence meaning. Part III reviews the three main current theoretical approaches to semantics; componential theory, formal semantics and cognitive semantics. The book discusses semantic phenomena from a wide range of languages. Each chapter contains exercises to alow the reader to explore the issues raised, and suggestions for further teadings.

Typology and Universala

作者：  [英]William Croft;沈家煊导读

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2000

简介：　　Comparison of the grammars of human lagnuages reveals systematic patterns of variation. research in typology and universals attempts to uncover those patterns. to formulate the universal constraints on language that define those patterns, and to seek explanations for the universals. In this volume, the first of its kind, william Croft provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the method and theory used in typology-universals research. together with an overview of basic grammatical differences between languages. He discusses theoretical issues ranging from the most fundamental-on what basis can the arammars of diverse languages be compared?-to the most absttact-what is the role of fuctional and historical explanation of language universals? -and gives extensive illustration from the world's languages. several case studies also provide extended examples of the methodologies applied to specific problems. As well as explicating basic concepts established in the last thirty years. current areas of typological research are thoroughly covered (including some discussion of phonological typology). The author demonstrates how complex patterns of cross-linguistic variation. such as hierarchies and prototypes. are built on the basic patterns of implicational universals and markedness. He also draws together contemporary research on cross-linguistic patterns of the form-meaning relation and on universals of language change, and shows how a new approach to limguistic explanation, the "functional-typological" or "dynamic" paradigm, has evolved in the last decade. 　　This textbook will appeal to scholars and students alike in linguistics and anthropology.
