Biolinguistics at the Cutting Edge
This book contains an updated discussion of the most relevant theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as the most important findings of biolinguistics. This field of linguistics is specifically concerned with the biological aspects of language. In doing so, the volume takes a timely look at the different angles of biolinguistics research, in particular considering its multidisciplinary, technical, theoretical, and applied approaches. The volume provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and state-of-the-art overview of the biolinguistics quest, bringing together the most outstanding contributions on exciting subfields such as language evolution, language acquisition, neuro- and psycholinguistics, or clinical linguistics.
Merge and the Strong Minimalist Thesis
This Element is an accessible and up-to-date exploration of Merge, the central operation of the syntax.
Mathematical Structure of Syntactic Merge
A mathematical formalization of Chomsky’s theory of Merge in generative linguistics. The Minimalist Program advanced by Noam Chomsky thirty years ago, focusing on the biological nature of human language, has played a central role in our modern understanding of syntax. One key to this program is the notion that the hierarchical structure of human language syntax consists of a single operation Merge. For the first time, Mathematical Structure of Syntactic Merge presents a complete and precise mathematical formalization of Chomsky’s most recent theory of Merge. It both furnishes a new way to explore Merge’s important linguistic implications clearly while also laying to rest any fears that...
Mereological Syntax
An argument for replacing Chomsky’s set-theoretic Merge view of syntax with a theory of syntax based on mereological objects. Mereology is the study of parthood—what it means for one thing to be part of another. David Adger argues that a theory of syntax based on mereological objects should replace Chomsky’s set-theoretic Merge view of syntax. He shows how this new perspective solves some of the problems that have bedeviled minimalism, while opening a path to a unified approach to islands, one of the central topics in theoretical syntax for the past 50 years. Adger draws on data from across many languages and from experimental work. Adger focuses on two puzzles—specifically, the so-c...
