Book Description
This groundbreaking new study takes a novel approach to reduplication, a phenomenon whereby languages use repetition to create new words. Sharon Inkelas and Cheryl Zoll argue that the driving force in reduplication is identity at the morphosyntactic, not the phonological level, and present a new model of reduplication - Morphological Doubling Theory - that derives the full range of reduplication patterns. This approach shifts the focus away from the relatively small number of cases of phonological overapplication and underapplication, which have played a major role in earlier studies, to the larger class of cases where base and reduplicant diverge phonologically. The authors conclude by arguing for a theoretical shift in phonology, which entails more attention to word structure. As well as presenting the authors' pioneering work, this book also provides a much-needed overview of reduplication, the study of which has become one of the most contentious in modern phonological theory.

Excerpt from Compendium der Vergleichenden Grammatik der Indogermanischen Sprachen, Vol. 1 Daß ich gerade mich der schwirigen arbeit unterfangen habe, mag die folgende darlegung der entstehung meines bu ches wenigstens einigermaßen rechtfertigen. Seit fünfzehn jaren bin ich akademischer lerer und habe von anfang an über indogermanische grammatik gelesen; teils trug ich grammatik einzelner indogermanischer sprechen vom standpuncte der smachwißenschaft auß vor teils grammatik der sämtlichen sprachen, die den sprachstamm bilden, so ge nante vergleichende grammatik. Wenn ich nach der anzal der zuhörer welche auch dise lezteren vorträge fanden, und nach dem anß dauernden fleiße, mit welchem sie gehört wurden, schließen darf so müßen sie wol den gegenstand in einer dem anfänger zugänglichen weise dar gelegt haben. Mein heft arbeitete ich merere male um. Namentlich war es mir eine ware freude, für meine hiesigen zuhörer und schüler zu erbei ten; iret an regenden teilname verdanke ich die lust und liebe, mit der ich mich einer völligen umgestaltung meines in zwei halbjaren vor getragenen heftes über vergleichende grammatik der indogermanischen sprachen unterzog.

Pages : 228
Book Description
V. N. Volosinov's important work, first published in Russian in 1929, had to wait a generation for recognition. This first paperback edition of the English translation will be capital for literary theorists, philosophers, linguists, psychologists, and many others. Volosinov is out to undo the old disciplinary boundaries between linguistics, rhetoric, and poetics in order to construct a new kind of field: semiotics or textual theory. Ladislav Matejka and I. R. Titunik have provided a new preface to discuss Volosinov in relation to the great resurgence of interest in all the writing of the circle of Mikhail Bakhtin.
