Abstract:

This book provides a comprehensive account of the role of recursion in
language in two distinct but interconnected ways. First, David J. Lobina
examines how recursion applies at different levels within a full description
of natural language. Specifically, he identifies and evaluates recursion as:
a) a central property of the computational system underlying the faculty of
language; b) a possible feature of the derivations yielded by this
computational system; c) a global characteristic of the structures generated
by the language faculty; and d) a probable factor in the parsing operations
employed during the processing of recursive structures. Second, the volume
orders these different levels into a tripartite explanatory framework.
According to this framework, the investigation of any particular cognitive
domain must begin by first outlining what sort of mechanical procedure
underlies the relevant capacity (including what sort of structures it
generates). Only then, the author argues, can we properly investigate its
implementation, both at the level of abstract computations typical of
competence-level analyses, and at the level of the real-time processing of
behaviour.
