Abstract

Throughout much of the history of linguistics, grammaticality judgments – intuitions about the well-formedness of sentences – have constituted most of the empirical base against which theoretical hypothesis have been tested. Although such judgments often rest on subtle intuitions, there is no systematic methodology for eliciting them, and their apparent instability and unreliability have led many to conclude that they should be abandoned as a source of data.

Abstract

Prolongeant et explicitant la pensée saussurienne, la conception dynamique des structures langagières constitue une alternative aux approches formalistes dérivées du programme chomskien. Le langage n’y est plus conçu sous le mode d’un calcul formel, mais comme un système de processus différenciateurs travaillant à modeler et à délimiter, suivant les intentions de sens des locuteurs, des régions de signification. La conception dynamique réinvestit certains fondements épistémologiques et méthodologiques de la linguistique contemporaine. Très précisément, on s’attache à montrer qu’elle procède d’un ajustement du critère de « réfutabilité », proposé par Karl Popper, à l’ordre des phénomènes langagiers. Prenant appui sur les concepts fondamentaux du structuralisme saussurien, et après une évaluation critique des modèles formels en linguistique, une architecture fonctionnelle est proposée, où les unités de langue se composent au croisement des dimensions de l’expression, du contenu et de la recevabilité. Cette architecture, qui ambitionne de fournir une analytique de la connexion signifiant-signifié, du régime de l’intégration en langue, du phénomène de recevabilité et des processus de catégorisation du contenu (par émergence d’un réseau de frontières) est développée dans le cadre d’une modélisation morphodynamique. Elle débouche sur une conception du langage comme système de production négociée et de stabilisation de valeurs sémantiques.

Abstract

Chomsky has had a major influence on linguistics, psychology, and philosophy. In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work, Neil Smith analyses Chomsky's key contributions to the study of both language and the mind. He gives a detailed exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing, and examines the ideas for which he is best known. Smith discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of Chomsky's work, and argues that he has fundamentally changed the way we think of ourselves. Smith examines Chomsky's political ideas and how these fit intellectually with his scholarly work. The final chapter spells out the themes - rationality, creativity and modularity - that unite the disparate strands of his vast output. Throughout, Smith explores the controversy surrounding Chomsky's work, and explains why he has been both adulated and vilified.

Abstract

"This study presents new insights into null subjects, topic drop and the interpretation of topic-dropped elements. Besides providing an empirical data survey, it offers explanations to well-known problems, e.g. syncretisms in the context of null-subject licensing or the marginality of dropping an element which carries oblique case. The book constitutes a valuable source for both empirically and theoretically interested (generative) linguists."--

Abstract

In this brief and incisive book, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills tells the story of the Confessions--what motivated Augustine to dictate it, how it asks to be read, and the many ways it has been misread in the one-and-a-half millennia since it was composed. Following Wills's biography of Augustine and his translation of the Confessions, this is an unparalleled introduction to one of the most important books in the Christian and Western traditions. Understandably fascinated by the story of Augustine's life, modern readers have largely succumbed to the temptation to read the Confessions as autobiography. But, Wills argues, this is a mistake. The book is not autobiography but rather a long prayer, suffused with the language of Scripture and addressed to God, not man. Augustine tells the story of his life not for its own significance but in order to discern how, as a drama of sin and salvation leading to God, it fits into sacred history. "We have to read Augustine as we do Dante," Wills writes, "alert to rich layer upon layer of Scriptural and theological symbolism." Wills also addresses the long afterlife of the book, from controversy in its own time and relative neglect during the Middle Ages to a renewed prominence beginning in the fourteenth century and persisting to today, when the Confessions has become an object of interest not just for Christians but also historians, philosophers, psychiatrists, and literary critics. With unmatched clarity and skill, Wills strips away the centuries of misunderstanding that have accumulated around Augustine's spiritual classic.
