The Origins of Grammar
Semantic Analysis
Language in the Light of
Evolution II
James R. Hurford, University of
Edinburgh (Emeritus)
A Practical Introduction
Second Edition
Cliff Goddard
The second in James Hurford’s
acclaimed two-volume
exploration of the biological
evolution of language explores
the evolutionary and cultural preconditions and
consequences of humanity’s great leap into
language.
A lively introduction to
methods for articulating
the meanings of words
and sentences, and
revealing connections
between language and
culture. It shows that the study of meaning can
be rigorous, insightful, and exciting.

Meaning
A Slim Guide to Semantics
Paul Elbourne, Queen Mary,
Univesity of London
Paul Elbourne explores the
complex nature of meaning
in crystal clear language.
He draws on approaches
developed in linguistics,
philosophy, and psychology - assuming a
knowledge of none of them - in a manner
that will appeal to everyone interested in this
essential element of human psychology and
culture.

John M. Anderson:
The Substance of Language
Three-volume pack
John M. Anderson,
University of Edinburgh
The three linked but independent
volumes of The Substance of
Language collectively overhaul
linguistic theory from phonology
to semantics and syntax to pragmatics and offer a full
account of how linguistic related to function. They
comprise a powerfully coherent understanding of
the nature of language and a major contribution to
linguistic theory.
OCTOBER 2011 1,232 pages,
978-0-19-969602-4 | Hardback, 3 vol pack | £195.00 £156.00
Also available as three separate volumes:
The Domain of Syntax
Volume I
Explores the consequences for syntax of assuming
that language is grounded in cognition and
perception. He considers whether this permits a
lexicalist approach to syntax that would allow it to
dispense not only with structural mutations but with
universal grammar itself.

978-0-19-960831-7 | Hardback | £85.00 £68.00
Morphology, Paradigms, and Periphrases
Volume II
This volume is concerned with the role of the
lexicon, in particular its inflectional morphology,
in mediating between syntax and phonology. It
examines the expressive role of inflection and the
notion of grammatical periphrasis and what these
reveal about the substantive differences between
verbs and nouns.
OCTOBER 2011 352 pages,
978-0-19-960832-4 | Hardback | £75.00 £60.00
Phonology-Syntax Analogies
Volume III
Looks at the degree to which analogies between
syntax and phonology result from their being
representational subsystems within the overall
system of language, at why they sometimes break
down, and at how far semantic and phonetic
properties limit such analogies.

Dissolving Binding
Theory
Johan Rooryck,
Leiden University, and
Guido Vanden Wyngaerd,
Hogeschool-Universiteit
Brussels
This book examines
the distribution and
interpretation of anaphors and pronouns.
Through a detailed analysis of simplex and
complex anaphors in Dutch and English,
as well as other Romance and Germanic
languages, the authors show that the
relationship between an anaphor and its
antecedent can be captured in terms of
general Minimalist principles.

Reference in
Discourse
Andrej Kibrik,

This is the first full study
of how people refer
to entities in natural
discourse. It contributes
to the understanding of both linguistic
diversity and the cognitive underpinnings of
language and it provides a framework for
further research in both fields. The author’s
discussion is based on data from about 200
languages from around the world.

The Phonology of
Icelandic and Faroese
Sociolinguistic
Typology
Kristján Árnason,
University of Iceland
Social Determinants of
Linguistic Complexity
Peter Trudgill,
University of Agder
This book considers
how far social factors
explain why human
societies produce different kinds of language
at different times and places and why some
languages and dialects get simpler while others
get more complex. It does so in the context of
a wide range of languages and societies.
This book presents
a comprehensive,
contrastive account of the
phonological structures and
characteristics of Icelandic
and Faroese. It is written for Nordic linguists
and theoretical phonologists interested in
what the languages reveal about phonological
structure and change and the relation between
morphology, phonology, and phonetics.

A Biolinguistic Perspective
Bridget D. Samuels,
University of Maryland
Phonological Architecture
bridges linguistic theory
and the biological sciences,
presenting a comprehensive
view of phonology from a biological
perspective. Its back-to-basics approach breaks
phonology into primitive operations and
representations and investigates their possible
origins in cognitive abilities found throughout
the animal kingdom.

This book is about the nature of morphology
and its place in the structure of grammar.
Drawing on a wide range of aspects of
Romance inflectional morphology, leading
scholars present detailed arguments for the
autonomy of morphology, ie morphology has
phenomena and mechanisms of its own that
are not reducible to syntax or phonology.
