Chomsky: Ideas and Ideals

作者：  (美)Neil Smith著;宁春岩导读

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2001

简介：　　Noam Chomsky is one of the leading intellectual figures of modern times.He has had a major influence on linguistics,psychology and philosophy,and a significant effect on a range of other disciplines from anthropology to mathematics,education to literary criticism. 　　 In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work and influence,Neil Smith analyses Chomsky's key contributions to the study of language and the study of mind.He gives a detailed and partly historical exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing,and examines the ideas for which he is best known.Smith discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of Chomsky's work,and argues that he has fundamentally changed the way we think of ourselves,gaining a position in the history of ideas on a par with that of Darwin of Descartes.Finally,he examines Chomsky's political ideas and how these fit intellectually with his scholarly work.Smith argues that,despite Chomsky's own disavowal of any very close connection,there are fundamental ideas of rationality,creativity and modularity that draw together the disparate strands of his vast output.Throughout,Smith explores the coutroversy surrounding Chomsky's work,and explains why he has been both adulated and vilified. 　　 This much needed book will be welcomedby a wide range of readers:students and researchers in linguistics,philosophy,psychology,cognitive science and politics,and anyone with an interest in the impact of Chomsky's work.　　

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.
