Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts

Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts

Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts by Kristin Davidse , Ngum Meyuhnsi Njende , Gerard O'Grady
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 303132269X | 5.7 MB

This book proposes a radically new account of clefts in English. Since the 1960s, functional as well as formal linguists have generally restricted clefts to constructions with an identifying matrix (it-clefts) and have claimed that they only code information structure. Clefts are assumed to unpack a simple proposition into a focus – presupposition structure. In this book, the authors reject these theoretical-descriptive assumptions, arguing instead that clefts form a field comprising it-clefts, there-clefts and ‘have’-clefts.

Aspectual Inquiries

Aspectual Inquiries by Paula Kempchinsky, Roumyana Slabakova
English | PDF | 2005 | 456 Pages | ISBN : 1402030320 | 34.4 MB

The study of the linguistic reflexes of aspect has been an active field of research in various sub-disciplines of linguistics, such as syntax, semantics (including discourse theory) and acquisition studies. However, communication and dissemination of results across these various subfields has often been indirect. The different angles brought together give us a comprehensive picture of the representation of aspect in the mind/brain of the speaker.

English as a Lingua Franca in Migrants' Trauma Narratives (Repost)

English as a Lingua Franca in Migrants' Trauma Narratives by Maria Grazia Guido
English | PDF | 2018 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 1137582995 | 1.7 MB

This book examines how trauma is experienced and narrated differently across languages and cultures, drawing on rich ethnographic case studies and a novel cognitive-linguistic approach to analyse the variations of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) used in the narratives of West-African migrants and refugees in the course of intercultural encounters with Italian experts in from domain-specific fields of discourse (including legal, medical, religious and cultural professionals). It examines the ways in which such experts interpret the migrants’ trauma narratives by applying discourse conventions from within their communities of practice, as well as their own native linguacultural norms.

Complex Syntax in the Language of Persons with Down Syndrome

Complex Syntax in the Language of Persons with Down Syndrome by Helen Goodluck
English | EPUB | 2022 | 124 Pages | ISBN : 3030964396 | 2.9 MB

This book examines the language abilities of persons with Down Syndrome who are able to read. The text defends the ‘delayed but not deviant view’ of linguistic abilities by examining a range of syntactic phenomena that develop at different points for typically developing children, and for which a similar overall pattern is found for persons with Down Syndrome. The volume also defends the ‘delayed but not deviant view’ against challenges arising from studies of the comprehension of definite pronouns. The study fits within a picture of linguistic abilities that is modular: skills with language do not emerge from other cognitive functions. It is an important source of information for readers in the departments of linguistics, speech and language therapy, and cognitive science.
