This book is relevant for phonologists, morphologists, Slavists and cognitive linguists, and addresses two questions: How can the morphology-phonology interface be accommodated in cognitive linguistics? Do morphophonological alternations have a meaning? These questions are explored via a comprehensive analysis of stem alternations in Russian verbs.
This pocket-sized alphabetical guide to phonology provides an introduction to the range of phenomena studied in phonology and the main theoretical frameworks for engaging in phonological analysis. The entries are concise and clear, providing an overview of one of the main area of linguistic analysis. This ia a handy and easily understandable pocket guide for anyone embarking on courses in phonology. It supplies numerous cross-references to related terms. It contains an introduction which outlines the range of the field. It includes an annotated bibliography with suggestions for further reading.
The German Language introduces students of German to a
linguistic way of looking at the language. Written from a Chomksyan
perspective, this volume covers the basic structural components of the
German language: syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, and the
lexicon.
Explores the linguistic structure of German from current theoretical perspectives.
Written from a Chomksyan perspective, this volume covers the basic

Serves as a valuable resource for students of German language and
literature and for linguists with little or no background in the
language.
Includes exercises, definitions of key terms, and suggestions for further reading.
Also a very good material for comparative linguistics.
An introduction to phonetics is designed to help EFL learners to achieve
native-like pronunciation:
Chapter one deals with the history of phonology and
phonetics and provides a brief overview of the impact of philosophy and
psychology on the emergence of phonology and phonetics. Chapter two defined the
notion of phoneme, describes IPA phonetic alphabet, and distinguishes between
board and narrow transcriptions. Chapter three and four provide an in-depth
account of traditional and systematic articulatory phonetics, respectively.
Chapter five discusses the place of suprasegmentals in phonology. Chapter six
seeks to explain phonemics. Chapter seven provides a brief introduction to the
rudiments of acoustic or physical phonetics. Chapter eight introduces the
reader to the notion of auditory phonetics

This state-of-the-art guide to some of the most exciting work in
current linguistics explores how the core components of the language
faculty interact. It examines how these interactions are reflected in
linguistic and cognitive theory, considers what they reveal about the
operations of language within the mind, and looks at their reflections
in expression and communication. Leading international scholars present
cutting-edge accounts of developments in the interfaces between
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
They bring to bear a rich variety of methods and theoretical
perspectives, focus on a broad array of issues and problems, and
illustrate their arguments from a wide range of the world's languages.
After the editors' introduction to its structure, scope, and content,
the book is divided into four parts. The first, Sound, is concerned
with the interfaces between phonetics and phonology, phonology and
morphology, and phonology and syntax. Part II, Structure, considers the
interactions of syntax with morphology, semantics, and the lexicon, and
explores the status of the word and its representional status in the
mind. Part III, Meaning, revisits the syntax-semantics interface from
the perspective of compositionality, and looks at issues concerned with
intonation, discourse, and context. The authors in the final part of
the book, General Architectural
Concerns, examine work on Universal Grammar, the overall model of
language, and linguistic and associated theories of language and
cognition. All scholars and advanced students of language will value
this book, whether they are in linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, artificial intelligence, computational science, or informatics.
