The papers assembled in this volume aim to contribute to our understanding of the human capacity for language: the generative procedure that relates sounds and meanings via syntax. Different hypotheses about the properties of this generative procedure are under discussion, and their connection with biology is open to important cross-disciplinary work. Advances have been made in human-animal studies to differentiate human language from animal communication. Contributions from neurosciences point to the exclusive properties of the human brain for language. Studies in genetically based language impairments also contribute to the understanding of the properties of the language organ. This volume brings together contributions on theoretical and experimental investigations on the Language Faculty. It will be of interest to scholars and students investigating the properties of the biological basis of language, in terms the modeling of the language faculty, as well as the properties of language variation, language acquisition and language impairments.

Syntax puts our meaning ("semantics") into sentences, and phonology puts the sentences into the sounds that we hear and there must, surely, be a structure in the meaning that is expressed in the syntax and phonology. Some writers use the phrase "semantic structure", but are referring to conceptual structure; since we can express our conceptual thought in many different linguistic ways, we cannot equate conceptual and semantic structures. The research reported in this book shows semantic structure to be in part hierarchic, fitting the syntax in which it is expressed, and partly a network, fitting the nature of the mind, from which it springs. It is complex enough to provide for the emotive and imaginative dimensions of language, and for shifts of standard meanings in context, and the "rules" that control them. Showing the full structure of English semantics requires attention to many currently topical issues, and since the underlying theory is fresh, there are fresh implications for them. The most important of those issues is information structure, which is given full treatment, showing its overall structure, and its relation to semantics and the whole grammar of English.

Warum sind sprachliche Strukturen so, wie sie sind? Wie entstehen sie? Warum verändern sie sich? Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches sind Tagebuchdaten zur Sprachentwicklung eines Kindes, die über mehrere Jahre hinweg täglich erhoben wurden. Ergänzt durch Daten aus anderen Erhebungen und Beispiele zu Sprachkontakt, -geschichte und synchroner Variation werden Parallelen und Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen sprachlichen Bereichen und Sprachveränderungsformen untersucht. Der vorzustellende Ansatz geht davon aus, daß die Systematizität der Sprache als ein Prozeß zu verstehen ist, in dem die Komplexität phonologischer, morphologischer und syntaktischer Strukturen im Laufe des Spracherwerbs langsam ansteigt. Der Diskurs liefert die nötigen Bausteine. Das Lexikon wirkt als übergreifender, zusammenfassender Faktor. Sprechhandlungen entstehen in der Interaktion. Es wird gezeigt, wie sprachliche Strukturen erworben werden, wenn statt eines angeborenen Apparates von Kategorien und Regeln generelle Verarbeitungsmechanismen zur Verfügung stehen, die in einem netzwerkartigen informationsverarbeitenden System wirken und von außen, von der Sprechsituation und Sprecher- und Hörerintention, beeinflußbar sind. Nur die informationsverarbeitenden Strategien sind angeboren - nicht jedoch grammatische Strukturen. Prozedurale und diskursbedingte Faktoren interagieren. Auf diese Weise sind die Daten aus den verschiedenen Erhebungen, Ergebnisse von Computersimulationen wie auch diachrone und synchrone Veränderungen erklärbar. Der Ansatz vereint funktionale und konnektionistische Vorstellungen und vermittelt dabei eine prozeßorientierte Vorstellung von Grammatik.
