Linguistic Structure and Change: An Explanation from Language Processing (Hippocrene Standard Dictionary) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In linguistic studies, the term "explanation" does not live up to what the philosophers of science intend it to mean. In these pages, "explanation" is put on firmer theoretical footing via a relation of language to the various contexts in which it is embedded. A detailed analysis of the psychological context in particular shows that language processing provides a fruitful approach to explaining linguistic structure and change.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Thomas Berg challenges context-free theories of linguistics; he is concerned with the way the term 'explanation' is typically used in the discipline. He argues that real explanations cannot emerge from a view which asserts the autonomy of language, but only from an approach which seeks to establish a connection between language and the contexts in which it is embedded.The author examines the psychological context in detail. He uses aninteractiveactivation model of language processing to derive predictions about synchronic linguistic patterns, the course of linguistic change, and the structure of poetic rhymes. The majority of thesepredictions are borne out, leading the author to conclude that the structure of language is shaped by the properties of the mechanism which puts it to use, and that psycholinguistics thus qualifies as one likely approach from which to derive an explanation of linguistic structure. Challenging context-free theories of linguistics, the concern here is the the typical use of the term "explanation" in the discipline. Predictions are made about synchronic linguistic patterns, the course of linguistic change, and the structure of poetic rhyme. This item is printed on demand.
