This collection takes a cognitive linguistic view on analyzing language and presents innovative contemporary Finnish research to the international audience. The volume brings together nine chapters presenting empirical case studies that rely on various kinds of corpus data and experimental data or combine both types of empirical evidence. The topics vary from semantics to grammatical description, from terminological choices to language acquisition, and they study language from perspectives as diverse as psycholinguistics, comparative linguistics, and translation studies. A multi-methodological approach to linguistic research is promoted in this book. The idea is that language in all its diversity can best be studied by using the entire spectrum of modern quantitative and qualitative methods. It will appeal to academic readers, students, and established researchers, interested in the study of authentic linguistic material especially from the cognitive perspective.
Gathers decades of research on figurative language cognition to answer the question, 'Why don't people just say what they mean?'
Explains the complexities of how language supports human social interaction using the framework of embodied cognition.
This book presents current research that discusses some of the major issues in pragmatics from new perspectives, and directs attention to aspects of fundamental tenets that have been investigated only to a limited extent. Current pragmatic theories emphasize the importance of intention, cooperation, common ground, mutual knowledge, relevance, and commitment in executing communicative acts. However, recent research in cognitive psychology, linguistic pragmatics, and intercultural communication has raised questions that warrant some revision of these major tenets. Debates about the place of intention in pragmatics have indicated that Gricean intentions may play a less central role in communica...
This new edition of Understanding Morphology has been fully revised in line with the latest research. It now includes 'big picture' questions to highlight central themes in morphology, as well as research exercises for each chapter. Understanding Morphology presents an introduction to the study of word structure that starts at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field of morphology on the part of the reader, the book presents a broad range of morphological phenomena from a wide variety of languages. Starting with the core areas of inflection and derivation, the book presents the interfaces between morphology and syntax and between morphology and phonology. The synchronic study o...
Vysokoškolská učebnice O čem je morfologie zaujme nejen lingvisty, ale i zájemce o jazyk z jiných oborů zasvěceným výkladem nejdůležitějších témat vymezujících předmět současné morfologie. Formou dialogu různých přístupů a názorů seznamují autoři se základními morfologickými pojmy a pravidly, s ukládáním slov/morfémů v mentálním lexikonu, vztahem mezi flexí a derivací, produktivitou a restrikcemi tvoření slov, vztahy mezi morfologií a syntaxí, morfologií a fonologií a úlohou frekvence v morfologii. Text doplňují cvičeními, glosářem termínů a rejstříky. V rámci moderního pojetí se autoři díky zkušenosti s jazykovou typologií a univerzáliemi neomezují na indoevropské jazyky, nýbrž předkládají data z jazyků celého světa.
