SEMANTICS
Huck and Goldsmith, IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC THEORY
Noam Chomsky and the Deep Structure Debates
A reappraisal of the"schism'' between Chomsky and his students
concerning the role of meaning in grammar. Arguing that the triumph of
Chomsky's interpretive semantics had less to do with the fact that it
was right than with the fact that the contrary argument for generative
semantics failed to establish an institutional base, the authors
reveal similarities between the two models, and demonstrate the extent
to which Chomsky's paradigm drew from the concepts employed by his
estranged students. The text is further supplemented by interviews
with Ray Jackendoff, George Lakoff, Paul M. Postal and John Robert
Ross. History of Linguistic Thought series.

SOCIOLINGUISTICS
Cameron, VERBAL HYGIENE
Using specific examples of practised verbal hygiene which include the
regulation of style by editors; the teaching of English grammar in
schools; and the movements for and against so-called politically
correct language, Cameron examines the practices through which people
try to both clean up language and regulate its use in attempts to make
it functionally, aesthetically and morally "better". Politics of
Language series.

STYLISTICS
Mills, FEMINIST STYLISTICS
Combining literary and linguistic theory, Mills provides a rationale
for the interrogation of texts from a feminist perspective. Through an
examination of both literary and non-literary texts, including pop
songs, newspaper advertisements, jokes and pulp fiction, Mills
examines such issues as sexism, political correctness, agency and
meaning to provide readers with a tool-kit which exposes the gender
bias of both canonical and popular texts. Interface series.

develop an interest and a sensitivity to words and structures;
recognize contrasts within and between texts; and heighten awareness
