Abstract:
The volume presents Louw's Contextual Prosodic Theory from its beginnings to
its newest applications. It journeys from delexicalisation and
relexicalisation into Semantic Prosody and then to the heart of its contextual
requirements within collocation and the thinking of J.R. Firth. Once there, it
moves much of Firth’s and Malinowski’s thinking into a computational method
based upon the ability of language to govern and analyse itself using
collocation to plot its scope and limits. With the assistance of analytic
philosophy, it parts logic (grammar) from metaphysics (vocabulary) along the
lines of a non-computational formula of Bertrand Russell, and so falsifies the
major premise of the Vienna Circle using its own central tenet: the Principle
of Verification. Having arrived at corpus-derived subtext (the semantic aura
of grammar strings, as distinguished from Semantic Prosody), the second half
of the book proceeds to verify the theory on Slavic languages. The focus is on
the poet Alexander Pushkin, whose authorial intention becomes computationally
recoverable. Prose is handled on samples authored by David Lodge, where
authorial (in)sincerity (Louw 1993) is viewed on a cline of inspiration and
quality of discourse. Other applications in the volume include studies on
translation, negotiation, humour, and the reception of CPT.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
