"New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax: Constituent Syntax (Quantification, Numerals, Possession, Anaphora)" is the third of four volumes dealing with the long-term evolution of Latin syntax, roughly from the 4th century BCE up to the 6th century CE. Essentially an extension of Volume 2, Volume 3 concentrates on additional subsentential syntactic phenomena and their long-term evolution from the earliest texts up to the Late Latin period. Included in Volume 3 are detailed treatments of quantification, numerals, possession, and deixis/anaphora. As in the other volumes, the non-technical style and extensive illustration with classical examples makes the content readable and immediately useful to the widest audience. Key features: * first publication to investigates the long-term syntactic history of Latin * generally accessible to linguists and non-linguists * theoretically coherent, formulated in functional-typological terms * does not require reading fluency in Latin, since all examples are translated into English Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics                             Syntax                             Discourse Analysis                             Historical Linguistics Subject Language(s): Latin (lat) Written In: English (eng ) See this book announcement on our website: http://linguistlist.org/pubs/books/get-book.cfm?BookID=52369 Message 2: A Guide to Morphosyntax-Phonology Interface Theories: Scheer Date: 21-Dec-2010 From: Julia Ulrich <julia.ulrichdegruyter.com> Subject: A Guide to Morphosyntax-Phonology Interface Theories: Scheer E-mail this message to a friend Title: A Guide to Morphosyntax-Phonology Interface Theories Subtitle: How Extra-Phonological Information is Treated in Phonology since Trubetzkoy’s Grenzsignale Published: 2010 Publisher: De Gruyter Mouton                 http://www.degruyter.com/mouton Book URL: http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110238624-1 Author: Tobias Scheer Electronic: ISBN: 9783110238631 Pages: 847 Price: Europe EURO 149.95 Hardback: ISBN: 9783110238624 Pages: 847 Price: Europe EURO 149.95 Abstract: This book reviews the history of the interface between morpho-syntax and phonology roughly since World War II. Structuralist and generative interface thinking is presented chronologically, but also theory by theory from the point of view of a historically interested observer who however in the last third of the book distills lessons in order to assess present-day interface theories, and to establish a catalogue of properties that a correct interface theory should or must not have. The book also introduces modularity, the rationalist theory of the (human) cognitive system that underlies the generative approach to language, from a Cognitive Science perspective. Modularity is used as a referee for interface theories in the book. Finally, the book locates the interface debate in the landscape of current minimalist syntax and phase theory and fosters intermodular argumentation: how can we use properties of morpho-syntactic theory in order to argue for or against competing theories of phonology (and vice-versa)?
