Abstract:
This is the second volume of papers on sign-based linguistics to
emerge from Columbia School linguistics conferences. One set of
articles offers semantic analyses of grammatical features of specific
languages: English full-verb inversion; Serbo-Croatian deictic
pronouns; English auxiliary do; Italian pronouns egli and lui; the
Celtic-influenced use of on (e.g., "he played a trick on me"); a
monosemic analysis of the English verb break. A second set deals with
general theoretical issues: a solution to the problem that noun class
markers (e.g. Swahili) pose for sign-based linguistics; the
appropriateness of statistical tests of significance in text-based
analysis; the word or the morpheme as the locus of paradigmatic
inflectional change; the radical consequences of Saussure's
anti-nomenclaturism for syntactic analysis; the future of "minimalist
linguistics" in a maximalist world. A third set explains phonotactic
patterning in terms of ease of articulation: aspirated and unaspirated
stop consonants in Urdu; initial consonant clusters in more than two
dozen languages. An introduction highlights the theoretical and
analytical points of each article and their relation to the Columbia
School framework. The collection is relevant to cognitive semanticists
and functionalists as well as those working in the sign-based
Jakobsonian and Guillaumist frameworks.
