Negation and Negative Dependencies
This book presents a novel overarching account of negation and negative dependencies, based on novel data from language variation, language acquisition, and language change. Negation is a universal property of natural language, but languages can significantly differ in how they express it:there is variation in the form and position of negative elements, the number of manifestations of negative morphemes, and in the restrictions on the use of Negative and Positive Polarity Items. In this volume, Hedde Zeijlstra explores the hypothesis that all known syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, andlexical ways of encoding dependencies should be also be attested in the domain of negation, unless they are independently ruled out. He shows that the pluriform landscape of negative dependencies and markers of negation that emerges has broader implications for theories of syntax and semantics andtheir interface.
Introducing Syntax
This lively textbook introduces readers to the formal theory of syntax, presenting contemporary insights without unnecessary technical detail.
De betekenis van woorden
Taal is wat en wie we zijn, willen zijn. We drukken onze identiteit uit in taal, onze stemming, onze meningen. Taal verandert, is constant in beweging. In Het Nederlands van nu onderzoekt Hedde Zeijlstra op speelse manier de tegenwoordige taalstand. Al lijkt het Nederlands dat nu wordt gebruikt op de taal van 20 of 50 jaar geleden, de taal is anders - van betekenis, van vorm en van klank. Het zijn de drie onderwerpen die hij in drie bij Wereldbibliotheek te verschijnen boeken behandelt. In korte hoofdstukken komen actuele taalverschijnselen aan de orde. Wat zeggen deze verschijnselen over ons en wat beweren taalkundigen erover? Dit eerste deel behandelt de betekenis van woorden in het Nederlands van nu. Enthousiast laat Hedde Zeijlstra zien dat Linda de Mol met Mark Rutte gaat trouwen, dat genderneutraliteit al bestaat in de taal maar mannelijke verwijswoorden ontbreken, waarom 'nalles' terecht een niet-bestaand woord is. Hij gaat in op de opkomst en ondergang van het woord men en het vreemde gedrag van het 21ste-eeuwse je. Dit alles combineert hij met uitstapjes naar hersenonderzoek, biologie, psychologie, filosofie, wiskunde, geschiedenis, literatuur.
Agency and Intentions in Language
Our sense of agency and ability to distinguish between intentional and accidental actions are fundamental for social interaction. They allow us to plan and perform joint actions and assign responsibility for our own actions and those of others. Research on the nature of agency and intentions has been very fruitful over the last few decades in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. However, trully new discoveries could be made only when we engage in interdisciplinary discussions. This volume is the result of such discussions.
From Formal Linguistic Theory to the Art of Historical Editions
Romance is a fertile ground for linguistic research. Instead of limiting their studies to one specialised area, some Romance scholars have managed to combine different aspects of the broad field of Romance linguistics in an impressive way. This volume is dedicated to the multifaceted research interests of Guido Mensching: Part 1 focusses on different aspects of the architecture of grammar and linguistic theory, covering Italian, Portuguese, French, Sardinian and Romance. The focus of Part 2 is on historical linguistics, discussing Old Occitan lexicography and Romance in Hebrew scripts. Part 3 is dedicated to aspects relating to plurilingualism, language contact and sociolinguistics. Part 4 explores research arguments that go beyond Romance philology but are nonetheless intertwined with it.
Syntactic architecture and its consequences II
This volume collects novel contributions to comparative generative linguistics that “rethink” existing approaches to an extensive range of phenomena, domains, and architectural questions in linguistic theory. At the heart of the contributions is the tension between descriptive and explanatory adequacy which has long animated generative linguistics and which continues to grow thanks to the increasing amount and diversity of data available to us. The chapters address research questions in comparative morphosyntax, including the modelling of syntactic categories, relative clauses, and demonstrative systems. Many of these contributions show the influence of research by Ian Roberts and collaborators and give the reader a sense of the lively nature of current discussion of topics in morphosyntax and morphosyntactic variation.

Handbook of Japanese Syntax
Studies of Japanese syntax have played a central role in the long history of Japanese linguistics spanning more than 250 years in Japan and abroad. More recently, Japanese has been among the languages most intensely studied within modern linguistic theories such as Generative Grammar and Cognitive/Functional Linguistics over the past fifty years. This volume presents a comprehensive survey of Japanese syntax from these three research strands, namely studies based on the traditional research methods developed in Japan, those from broader functional perspectives, and those couched in the generative linguistics framework. The twenty-four studies contained in this volume are characterized by a d...
