Expressive Meaning Across Linguistic Levels and Frameworks
This volume is the first to explore the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different levels of linguistic complexity. It brings together work from different linguistic frameworks and sheds light on the interaction between linguistic expressions and the 'expressive dimension' of language.
Syntax, the brain, and linguistic theory: a critical reassessment
Syntax refers both to the structure of sentences and the underlying combinatorial capacity to generate this structure. For some time, neurolinguistic research on syntax was heavily influenced by theoretical linguistic approaches, which characterize in detail the nature of syntactic representations. A rough consensus has been that the primary region supporting syntax is Broca’s area, and that syntactic deficits in aphasia exist primarily due to damage or degeneration of this region, commonly occurring in Broca’s aphasia and nonfluent/agrammatic PPA. With respect to temporal dynamics of syntactic processing, neurophysiological research on syntax focused on specific event-related potentials...
Knowledge and Cosmos
In Knowledge and Cosmos: Development and Decline of the Medieval Perspective, 2nd Edition, Robert K. DeKosky focuses on issues in astronomy, cosmology, physics, matter theory, philosophy, and theology vital to the “Copernican Revolution.” This book describes efforts among individuals advocating different world views to fit new ideas compatibly into broad perspectives reflecting four traditional patterns of interpretation: teleological, mechanical, occultist, and mathematico-descriptive. These four modes had guided medieval accounts of heavenly phenomena, material process, and motion. The teleological explanation, prevalent in Aristotle’s natural philosophy, posited “final causes” (...
Saved by the Mafia King
Paige: I wasn’t sure if Tommaso really loved me at first. He bought me nice gifts, took me places, treated me like I hung the moon. But the scars on my body run deep, and it was difficult for me to trust him—or anyone else. Once he started shutting down other operations that were taking women and selling them, I knew he was legit. And now, I think I might love him, too. If I’m even capable of love anymore. Tommaso: The rest of the Philly families think I’m buying these women to sell them. That’s fine, for now. Whatever it takes to keep up the charade so I can get them out and get them home safe. I have a reputation to maintain as a ruthless killer. But with Paige by my side, it’s...

The Syntax of Surprise
Negation is a universal syntactic phenomenon only employed in human languages. People use negative sentences in everyday conversations, and they display complex semantic and syntactic properties when doing so. Crucially, some languages employ negative sentences to assert affirmative and surprise propositions. A clear example of this is offered by Italian, as in: ‘E non (not) mi è scesa dal treno Maria?!’ (‘Maria got off the train!’). This special type of negation is called surprise negation, and it belongs to the class of expletive negation. This book sheds light on this puzzling phenomenon, by means of a theoretical analysis and an experimental study. It explores the contexts, mainly syntactic, in which negation receives its expletive interpretation, and considers whether expletive negation is grammatically distinct from standard negation.
