Abstract:
The chapter briefly introduces word classes (parts of speech) and corpus linguistics as helpful adjuncts to courses on the history of English, enabling students to find their own examples of phenomena discussed in their course and to test what they are taught against real data. Some suitable corpora from Old English to the present are listed, and essential terminology and techniques are introduced. Problems of varying complexity are suggested for exploration, mostly from current English and recent periods, including derivation and semantic change, conversion, stepwise change from noun to adjective, and the histories of forms like “going to”/“gonna,” “might’ve”/“might of,” “kind of”/“kinda.”

Abstract:
When adjectives of English origin are pluralized in French, they follow one of three patterns: they receive inflection, they reject inflection, or they occur in both inflected and uninflected forms. This chapter reveals that although uninflected and variable adjectives do violate the standard native rule of adjective agreement, the constraints that block inflection are French-derived. A second feature of these adjectival Anglicisms is that their nominal counterpart, if it exists, always receives native inflection (des jeans baggy vs. des baggys). It is proposed that the difference in word class, and specifically the feature of grammatical gender, accounts for the contrastive behavior.

Abstract:
Since many modal expressions in English are overtly gradable, we need to understand gradability in general if we are to understand their semantics. This chapter introduces a number of core notions in the lexical and compositional semantics of gradable expressions, including the distinction between gradability and scalarity, key notions around adjective type and scale structure, and discusses some background issues such as the treatment of comparison classes and vagueness.

Abstract:
This book explores the wealth of evidence from early Indo-Aryan for the existence of transitive nouns and adjectives, a rare linguistic phenomenon which, according to some categorizations of word classes, should not occur. The author shows that most transitive nouns and adjectives attested in early Indo-Aryan cannot be analysed as belonging to a type of non-finite verb category, but must be acknowledged as a distinct constructional type. The volume provides a detailed introduction to transitivity (verbal and adpositional), the categories of agent and action noun, and early Indo-Aryan. Four periods of early Indo-Aryan are selected for study: Rigvedic Sanskrit, the earliest Indo-Aryan; Vedic Prose, a slightly later form of Sanskrit; Epic Sanskrit, a form of Sanskrit close to the standardized ‘Classical’ Sanskrit; and Pali, the early Middle Indo-Aryan language of the Buddhist scriptures. The author shows that while each linguistic stage is different, there are shared features of transitive nouns and adjectives which apply throughout the history of early Indo-Aryan. The data is set in the wider historical context, from Proto-Indo-European to Modern Indo-Aryan, and a formal linguistic analysis of transitive nouns and adjectives is provided in the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar.

Abstract:
This chapter provides rationales for a philosophy of music education based on classic Chinese philosophies. The philosophy contributes to an array of ways of thinking in music education and emphasizes the quintessence of the human spirit that transcends time and space. The author points to the significance of early Chinese philosophies as postulated in Yijing (The Book of Changes), classic Confucianism (represented by ideologies of Confucius and Mencius), and classic Daoism (represented by ideologies of Laozi and Zhuangzi). Understanding these early classics is critical to understand a characteristically Chinese philosophy. An organismic worldview and a unique perspective in harmony characterize this philosophical inquiry. The author cautions readers about the developments of Confucianism and Daoism evolved after the classics, because their doctrines could be far removed from those of the classics, especially those indicated by prefixes such as “neo-,” “new,” and “contemporary,” or the adjective “religious.”

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter argues that there are two functional heads in the VP domain: a little v head introducing an event and Voice introducing the external argument. Evidence is drawn from adjectival passives, which split into several types that can be described in terms of this architecture. The chapter explores the interaction between Voice, v, and manner vs. result interpretations of verbal meaning in resultant state vs. target state adjectival passives. First, a summary is given of the main arguments for postulating a v head and a Voice head in adjectival passives. The chapter then focuses on the absence of Voice in target state adjectival passives. New evidence for the absence of Voice comes from two empirical domains: constraints on verb classes that are allowed and disallowed to form target state adjectival passives and a phenomenon of coercion of manner, instrument-based denominal verbs into result verbs in target state adjectival passives.

Stein, Gabriele. John Palsgrave’s description of French word-formation. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198807377.003.0007.

Full text
Abstract:
The comprehensive nature of John Palsgrave’s endeavour to analyse and describe the French language in Lesclarcissement de la langue francoyse (1530) also encompasses the formation of words. Whereas Chapter 6 focused on his pioneering achievement as a grammarian and lexicographer, this chapter describes his most impressive work as a sixteenth-century lexicologist analysing the word-structures of a vernacular. The coining of words is embedded in a word class-based grammatical framework. For each word class, e.g. nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc., he discusses the formative processes (derivation and composition), specifies the formal patterns (with their changes to the base), paraphrases the meaning of each formation, and then provides a good number of examples. Exceptions are also pointed out.
