Researching Communication Disorders (Research and Practice in Applied Linguistics)
An exploration of the applications of linguistics (including both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistics perspectives) to clinical research in the field of communication disorders. This will interest graduate and postgraduate speech-language pathologists and applied linguists as well as psychologists and neuropsychologists.
Speakers, in their everyday conversations, use language to talk about language. They may wonder about what words mean, to whom a name refers, whether a sentence is true. They may worry whether they have been clear, or correctly expressed what they meant to say.
Grammar as Processor: A Distributed Morphology account of spontaneous speech errors
Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today (LA) provides a platform for original monograph studies into synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Studies in LA confront empirical and theoretical problems as these are currently discussed in syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, and systematic pragmatics with the aim to establish robust empirical generalizations within a universalistic perspective.
Corpus Linguistics Beyond the Word: Corpus Research from Phrase to Discourse
This volume will be of particular interest to readers interested in expanding the applications of corpuslinguistics techniques through new tools and approaches. The text includes selected papers from the Fifth North American Symposium, hosted by theLinguistics Department at Montclair State University in Montclair New Jersey in May 2004.
This is an introduction to the structure of sentences in human languages. It assumes no prior knowledge of linguistic theory and little of elementary grammar. It will suit students coming to syntactic theory for the first time either as graduates or undergraduates. It will also be useful for those in fields such as computational science, artificial intelligence, or cognitive psychology who need a sound knowledge of current syntactic theory.
