The empirical base of linguistics: Grammaticality judgements and linguistic methodology

The empirical base of linguistics: Grammaticality judgements and linguistic methodologyThroughout much of the history of linguistics, grammaticality judgments – intuitions about the well-formedness of sentences – have constituted most of the empirical base against which theoretical hypothesis have been tested. Although such judgments often rest on subtle intuitions, there is no systematic methodology for eliciting them, and their apparent instability and unreliability have led many to conclude that they should be abandoned as a source of data.

The Evaluators’ Eye: Impact Assessment and Academic Peer ReviewThe Evaluators’ Eye: Impact Assessment and Academic Peer Review

This book offers an empirical analysis of how academic peer review panels mediate the traditionally non-academic criterion of societal impact.

The English Literatures of America: 1500–1800

The English Literatures of America: 1500–1800The English Literatures of America redefines colonial American literatures, sweeping from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia to the West Indies and Guiana. The book begins with the first colonization of the Americas and stretches beyond the Revolution to the early national period. Many texts are collected here for the first time; others are recognized masterpieces of the canon--both British and American--that can now be read in their Atlantic context. By emphasizing the culture of empire and by representing a transatlantic dialogue, The English Literatures of America allows a new way to understand colonial literature both in the United States and abroad.
