The Structural Design of Language

By Thomas S. Stroik, Michael T. Putnam

In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.

Title: Towards a Lexicogrammar of Mekeo (An Austronesian Language of West Central Papua)
Written By: Alan A. Jones
Description:

In this volume Jones compares the four dialects of Mekeo, which vary widely in terms of mutual intelligibility, and suggests that Mekeo is a predominantly head-marking language in which 'non-verbs' function as topics or predicates. A high level of referential indeterminacy complicates discourse.
