Förlagets beskrivning
For decades, generative linguistics has said little about the differences
between verbs, nouns, and adjectives. This book seeks to fill this theoretical
gap by presenting simple and substantive syntactic definitions of these three
lexical categories. Mark C. Baker claims that the various superficial
differences found in particular languages have a single underlying source which
can be used to give better characterizations of these 'parts of speech'. These
new definitions are supported by data from languages from every continent,
including English, Italian, Japanese, Edo, Mohawk, Chichewa, Quechua, Choctaw,
Nahuatl, Mapuche, and several Austronesian and Australian languages. Baker
argues for a formal, syntax-oriented, and universal approach to the parts of
speech, as opposed to the functionalist, semantic, and relativist approaches
that have dominated the few previous works on this subject. This book will be
welcomed by researchers and students of linguistics and by related cognitive
scientists of language. This book investigates the fundamental nature of nouns, verbs, and
adjectives.
