Subject:  New book on the state of modern American Linguistics

The Publishing House of Moscow State University has just released a
new 455-page hard cover book in Russian which is a collection of
surveys on the state of modern American linguistics.  "FUNDAMENTAL
TRENDS OF MODERN AMERICAN LINGUISTICS" ("Fundamental'nye napravlenija
sovremennoj amerikanskoj lingvistiki") is unique in its scope since it
is the first ever comprehensive publication in Russian which attempts
to present diverse disciplines within American linguistics aimed at
the Russian-speaking audience.

The book consists of three major parts:

        PART I: GENERATIVE GRAMMAR
        CHAPTER 1. Brief History of the Generative Grammar (John Bailyn,
                        SUNY at Stony Brook)
        CHAPTER 2. A Study of Syntactic Conditions in the Generative
                        Grammar (Konstantin Kazenin & Yakov Testelec, MGU)
        CHAPTER 3. The Generative Grammar and the Free Word Order Problem
                        (Natasha Kondarshova, Cornell University)
        CHAPTER 4. The Generative Grammar and Russian Linguistics: Aspect
                        and Case (Natal'ja Isakadze & Irina Kobozeva, MGU)

        PART II: OTHER FORMAL THEORIES: PHONOLOGY, SEMANTICS, PSYCHOLINGUISTICS,
                AND ACQUISITION
        CHAPTER 5. Phonology (Katya Zubritskaya, NYU)
        CHAPTER 6. Formal Semantics (Roumyana Izvorska, U of Pennsylvania)
        CHAPTER 7. Psycholinguistics (Irina Sekerina, U of Pennsylvania)
        CHAPTER 8. Acquisition (Sergey Avrutin, Yale University)

        PART III: Functional and Cognitive Theories
        CHAPTER 9. Functionalism (Andrey Kibrik and Vladimir Plungjan, MGU)
        CHAPTER 10. Semantics in Cognitive Linguistics (Alan Cienki, Emory U)
        CHAPTER 11. Main Concepts of Cognitive Semantics (Ekaterina
                        Rakhilina, VINITI)
        APPENDIX: The Grammaticala Relevance of Theme/Rheme Partition
                        (George Fowler, Indiana University)

        Index of Languages
        Index of Terms

The authors and the editors made every attempt to concisely and accurately
translate the linguistic terms without which it is impossible to acquaint
oneself with linguistic articles in the original. The reader will find Russian
translations and definitions of such syntactic terms as "Subjacency Principle",
 "Spellout", "island constraints", phonological terms such as
"Underspecification
Theory", "Onset Principle", "The OCP", "Optimality Theory", and many others
included in the comprehensive 47-page Russian-English index. Most of the
phenomena
discussed are illustrated with Russian examples.
