Collected in this volume are a series of original papers, many
authored by internationally known specialists, dealing with the
semantic relations of cause, condition, contrast and concession and
their realization in language, typically at the level of the clause
and beyond. The perspective taken is a dual one, some contributions
dealing primarily with cognitive and semantic aspects of the
categories in question or their linguistic exponents, others more with
the deployment of causal, conditional, contrastive and concessive
markers in written and spoken discourse. The methodologies represented
are varied, ranging from introspection, informant questionnaires and
psycholinguistic experimentation to textlinguistic and conversational
analysis. The focus is on English, with some attention, however, being
paid to typological issues and to comparable structures in Dutch,
German, French and Spanish. This set of innovative studies throws new
light on the nature and the expression of these four central coherence
relations and, at the same time, on the interface of cognition and
language use.

This volume puts the European tense-aspect systems in a consistent
typological and diachronic perspective. The book advances our
understanding of the dynamics of tense and aspect systems, how they
develop over time, and how this is reflected in the rich patterns of
synchronic variation and their areal distribution.

Generative Theory and Corpus Studies
A Dialogue from 10 ICEHL
2000. 23 x 15,5 cm. XIX, 559 pages

(Topics in English Linguistics 31)
This volume focuses on the present state of English historical
linguistics as a unitary discipline. In particular, the selection of
papers challenges the idea that the community of linguists working on
the history of English stands united merely by subject matter, but
divided by method and theoretical outlook. The volume emphasizes the
way in which scholars in our community are led to refine and further
articulate their empirical proposals by challenges from different
research paradigms. Thus, a running thematic thread of the volume is
the dialogue between generative grammatical theory and corpus studies,
including those in sociolinguistic tradition. The volume is divided in
four main sections: syntax, phonology, text types, sociolinguistics
and dialectology.
