I'm nonplussed by the general approach to morphology that sees it as first and foremost a project of developing a systematic descriptive notation. Syntax--syntax is structure, it's what it is. So it's different. But it seems here like the actual interesting stuff about systematic correspondences in words and affixes--the way English/German/Dutch -er can have all these different meanings -ist can't (e.g. the doer of something, the instrument with which it is done, the person from some place, the object associated with some concept in an intentionally unspecified way, a Gesamtbedeutung to reflect how, for example, it is indeterminate whether the computer is the agent or the instrument thing that is doing the computing or the thing with which the user computes)--or the recognition that changes to borrowed word forms indicate that their complex morphology is recognized, as cosmos-->cosmic (not cosmosic--or the difference between lexicalized compounds and others (like how you can't say very red tape to mean "a lot of bureaucracy")--or the difference between headed and headless compounds, like how in Upcountry Sri Lanka Malay umma-baapa isn't a "mom dad" or a motherly dad or whatever, but simply one's parents--gets a bit elided sometimes by the eagerness to get to the simpleminded operation of representing it in formalese.

This book shows how complex words and word-like phrasal lexical units can be analysed as constructions, as pairings of forms and meanings. It contributes to current work on the architecture of the grammar, the morphology-syntax interface, the shape and characteristics of the lexicon, and theanalysis of grammaticalization phenomena. It is an important work for morphological theory in particular and for linguistic theory in general.Gert Booij applies the insights of construction grammar to morphological theory and the formation of words and lexical phrases. Construction grammar refers to the class of linguistic theories that focus on the pairing of form and meaning at different levels of abstraction. Such work (by WilliamCroft and Adele Goldberg, for example) has tended to focus on syntax or (as in the case of Ray Jackendoff) on the syntax-semantics interface. Geert Booij offers a characteristically lucid integration of his own and others' work and considers what it reveals about the nature of words and idioms. Hisbook will appeal to professional linguists in all subfields and to graduate students of syntax and morphology. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
