Building on the emergentist thesis that the structure and use of language is shaped by more basic, non-linguistic forces--rather than by an innate Universal Grammar--William O'Grady shows how the defining properties of various core syntactic phenomena (phrase structure, co-reference, control, agreement, contraction, and extraction) follow from the operation of a linear, efficiency-driven processor. This in turn leads to a compelling new view of sentence formation that subsumes syntactic theory into the theory of sentence processing, eliminating grammar in the traditional sense from the study of the language faculty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith this text, O'Grady advances a growing body of literature on emergentist approaches to language, and situates this work in a broader picture that also includes attention to key issues in the study of language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and agrammaticism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in syntax and its place in the larger enterprise of cognitive science.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 06, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737560715327,"sku":"9780805849608","price":130.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d41b532cb6da0b3363ccccbf9867a785.webp?v=1765150349","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/syntactic-carpentry-an-emergentist-approach-to-syntax-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
