Abstract:

"Sound and Grammar: A Neo-Sapirian Theory of Language" by Susan F. Schmerling
offers an original overall linguistic theory based on the work of the early
American linguist Edward Sapir, supplemented with ideas from the
philosopher-logicians Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz and Richard Montague and the
linguist Elisabeth Selkirk. The theory yields an improved understanding of
interactions among different aspects of linguistic structure, resolving
notorious issues directly inherited by current theory from (post-)
Bloomfieldian linguistics. In the theory presented here, syntax is a filter on
a phonological algebra, not a linguistic level; linguistic expressions are
phonological structures, and syntax is semantically relevant relations among
phonological structures. The book shows how Neo-Sapirian Grammar sheds new
light on syntax-phonology interactions in English, German, French, and
Spanish.
