Synopsis:
Marten explores the interaction of syntax, pragmatics, and semantics in the behavior of verb phrases and how they interact with the information provided by the verb. He also considers how the component elements of linguistic theory explain what appear to be simple utterances, but whose structure is hard to analyze--how, for example, "Fran is baking Mary a cake in the oven" is different from "Fran is baking Mary a cake in the kitchen".
About the Author: Lutz Marten has worked and studied in Hamburg, London, and Dar es Salaam. He is currently a Millennium Research Fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, where he works on the dynamics of interpretation and the relation between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, as well as on the analysis of African languages, especially Swahili.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book explores the interaction of grammar and context in human communication. Lutz Marten focuses on verbs and verb phrases: he examines the relationship between language rules and linguistic behaviour, seeking to distinguish between language-specific syntactic knowledge and the general reasoning people need to understand and to make themselves understood. He considers how the component elements of linguistic theory explain what appear to be simple utterancesbut whose structure is hard to analyse - how, for example, 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the oven' is different from 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the kitchen'. The author'saccount of the interactions of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics is based on extensive observation among contrasting cultures and a variety of languages. He makes important contributions to understanding in all three areas. His book will appeal to linguistic theoreticians of all persuasions. This book explores the interaction of syntax, pragmatics, and semantics in the behaviour of verb phrases, including noun and prepositional phrases, and how they interact with the information provided by the verb. It also considers how the component elements of linguistic theory act together to explain and predict what appear to be simple utterances. This item is printed on demand.
