Exploring Linguistic Science / William A

Public ISBD Titre : Exploring Linguistic Science : Language Use, Complexity, and Interaction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William A Editeur : United kingdom : Cambridge university press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 240 p. Présentation : cov ill Format : 24 x 17 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-44095-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : linguistics Résumé : Exploring Linguistic Science introduces students to the basic principles of complexity theory and then applies these principles to the scientific study of language. It demonstrates how, at every level of linguistic study, we find evidence of language as a complex system. Designed for undergraduate courses in language and linguistics, this essential textbook brings cutting-edge concepts to bear on the traditional components of general introductions to the study of language, such as phonetics, morphology and grammar. The authors maintain a narrative thread throughout the book of 'interaction and emergence', both of which are key terms from the study of complex systems, a new science currently useful in physics, genetics, evolutionary biology, and economics, but also a perfect fit for the humanities. The application of complexity to language highlights the fact that language is an ever-changing, ever-varied product of human behavior.

The Emergence and Development of English / William A

Public ISBD Titre : The Emergence and Development of English : An Introduction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William A ; Jr Kretzschmar Editeur : United kingdom : Cambridge university press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 262 p. Format : 24 x 17 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-45511-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This textbook provides a step-by-step introduction to the history of the English language (HEL), offering a fresh perspective on the process of language change. Aimed at undergraduate students, The Emergence and Development of English is accessibly written, and contains a wealth of pedagogical tools, including chapter openers, key terms, chapter summaries, end-of-chapter exercises and suggestions for further reading. A central theme of the book is 'emergence', the key term from the study of complex systems, which describes how massive numbers of random verbal interactions give rise to regularities that 'emerge' without specific causes. This unique approach encourages readers to incorporate complex systems into the mainstream coverage of HEL. Additional resources include examples of language from each period, as well as appendices on terminology, online resources and audio samples.
