Abstract:

Zellig Harris opened many lines of research in language, information,
and culture, from generative grammar to informatics, from mathematics
to language pedagogy. An international array of scholars here describe
further developments and relate this work to that of others. Volume 1
begins with a survey article by Harris himself, previously unavailable
in English. T.A. Ryckman, Paul Mattick, Maurice Gross, and Francis Lin
show the importance of Harris's methodology for philosophy of science,
the first two with reference especially to his remarkable findings on
the form of information in science. Themes of discourse and
sublanguage analysis are developed further in chapters by Michael
Gottfried, James Munz, Robert Longacre, and Carlota Smith. Morris
Salkoff, Peter Seuren, and Lila Gleitman present diverse developments
in syntax and semantics. Phonology is represented in chapters by Leigh
Lisker and by Frank Harary and Stephen Helmreich. Daythal Kendall
applies operator grammar to literary analysis of Sapir's Takelma
texts, and Fred Lukoff's chapter describes benefits of string analysis
for language pedagogy.
