Studies on Semantics in Generative Grammar

Studies on Semantics in Generative Grammar

The three essays that follow take as their point of departure the formulation of grammatical theory presented in such work as J. J. Katz and P. M. Postal, An Integrated Theory of Linguistic Descriptions, 1954, and Chomsky, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, 1965. For ease of exposition, I refer to this formulation as the "standard theory". The essays deal with problems that arise within this framework, and present a revision of the standard theory to an "extended standard theory" (EST). The status of deep structure is a central concern in all three essays.

For these reasons, an overview of Orwell's writing and influence is an indispensable resource. Accordingly, this Companion serves as both an introduction to Orwell's work and furnishes numerous innovative interpretations and fresh critical perspectives on it.

It has been clear from the beginning that William Blake was both a political radical and a radical psychologist, and in William Blake on Self and Soul Laura Quinney uses her sensitive, surprising readings of the poet to reveal his innovative ideas about the experience of subjectivity.
Blake’s central topic, Quinney shows us, is a contemporary one: the discomfiture of being a self or subject.
