Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-02 00:00:00 Joan Kauk A complete guide on the historical change of language. It discusses all linguistic patterns: phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, linguistic variation and it concludes with pidgins and creoles and language death. These changes are from a wide range of languages with more focus in the Indo- European family. There is also evaluation of a number of theories and finally the causes of these changes: some happen from within (the linguistic system itself) and others are motivated by external factors and specifically by contact between languages. |
Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-07 00:00:00 David Hachadorian I started to read this textbook as an introduction to current work in syntactic theory by Chomsky known as the Minimalist Program. I have tried the author Andrew Radford before (I have read most of his books on syntactic theory starting with his 1981's Transformational Syntax: A Student's Guide to Chomsky's Extended Standard Theory- which is not enlisted here in Goodreads), and I like his way, it helps me especially as I have to read on my own without any help from an instructor. |
