Abstract:

- In this paper I explore the consistency of an idea of language structures as both universal in their nature and empirical in their genesis. To this aim, I assume the theory of the parts of speech as a case study. I proceed from a brief historical reconstruction of 20th-century theories of grammatical categories to an analysis of the semantics of the parts of speech, with particular emphasis on Ronald Langacker's philosophy of grammar. Finally I focus on the theory of prepositions in order to explore the relations between language and perception and the function of perceptual schemas at the b

Abstract:

AbstractEvans & Levinson (E&L) claim Kiowa number as a prime example of the semantically unexpected, threatening both Universal Grammar and Linguistic Universals. This commentary, besides correcting factual errors, shows that the primitives required for Kiowa also explain two unrelated semantically unexpected patterns and derive two robust Linguistic Universals. Consequently, such apparent exceptionality argues strongly for Universal Grammar and against E&L.

AbstractGenerative linguistics' search for linguistic universals (1) is not comparable to the vague explanatory suggestions of the article; (2) clearly merits a more central place than linguistic typology in cognitive science; (3) is fundamentally untouched by the article's empirical arguments; (4) best explains the important facts of linguistic diversity; and (5) illuminates the dominant component of language's “biocultural” nature: biology.

Abstract:

I argue that the following two assumptions are incorrect: (i) The properties of the innate Universal Grammar can be discovered by comparing language systems, and (ii) functional explanation of language structure presupposes a “correct”, i.e. cognitively realistic, description. Thus, there are two ways in which linguistic explanation does not presuppose linguistic description. The generative program of building cross-linguistic generalizations into the hypothesized Universal Grammar cannot succeed because the actually observed generalizations are typically one-way implications or im

Generativist pragmatists and discourse grammarians both subscribe to a functional view of language, but they do not agree on the nature of pragmatic principles. Prince (1988a,b) has argued that form-function correlations are arbitrary and language specific. Discourse grammarians have argued that pragmatic, and even grammatical rules, emerge out of universal, natural and predictable extralinguistic pressures. I will argue that although the distribution of gaps and resumptive pronouns in relative clauses seems arbitrary and language specific, one cognitively-based form-function principle governs

AbstractThe idea of a biologically evolved, universal grammar with linguistic content is a myth, perpetuated by three spurious explanatory strategies of generative linguists. To make progress in understanding human linguistic competence, cognitive scientists must abandon the idea of an innate universal grammar and instead try to build theories that explain both linguistic universals and diversity and how they emerge.

There are currently two different linguistically-based approaches to universals in second language acquisition, one stemming from typological universals (Greenberg, 1966) and the other from Chomskyan Universal Grammar. Associated with each approach is a concept of markedness. Typologists define markedness implicationally; current theories of language learnability define markedness in terms of the Subset Principle. Although coming from very different perspectives, these two definitions of markedness coincide in a number of predictions they make for L1 and L2 acquisition. Similarities and differ

What constitutes linguistic evidence for Universal Grammar (UG)? The principal approach to this question equates UG on the one hand with language universals on the other. Parsimonious and general characterizations of linguistic variation are assumed to uncover features of UG.

We treat UG as a model of our prior learning bias, and consider how languages may adapt in response to this bias. By dealing directly with populations of linguistic agents, the

Abstract:

<p>The investigations of linguistic literature show that linguists today are much inspired by the goals of generative grammar, as well as the important human universals which explain child language acquisition, the universals of general cognition and learning. To put it the other way, linguists are interested in studying the human language to discover the nature of Universal Grammar the principles of which characterize all human languages and this major aim becomes the basis of contemporary linguistic theory of today. As D. Crystal writes: “… the main task of the linguistic scholar is ba

Abstract:

Translation studies has been provided with number of relatively new theoretical controversy,most notably the set of "universal features of translation" proposed by Mona Baker. Universals of translation are linguistic features there are number of features considered to translation method. These features concern simplification, explication, normalization, distinctive distribution of lexical items. In this paper we aimed to make contrastive analyses of Baker’s universals of translation features and other researcher’s guidelines of translation method. And also we are trying to look for opportuniti

Abstract:

SUMMARY It is traditionally believed that language universals have their source in the uniform genetic endowment of all human beings. In his keynote address "Investigating linguistic universals" presented at the 12th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences, held at Aix-en-Provence in 1991, Ian Maddieson has proposed a second source: the arbitrary features and idiosyncrasies of a primordial parent language of more than 100,000 years ago. He attempts to support his proposal with the claim that certain contingent properties of languages are stable and may thus be inherited from that parent la

Abstract:

As an introduction to this issue, various recent orientations in functional linguistics are put into perspective. First, concerning the controversy about the autonomy of grammar in the interplay of competing motivations shaping natural languages and in the processing of linguistic information, the actual state of the debate is summarized. Then, the points of view of the contributors to the present issue are presented comparatively. All three aim at modelling a selection of linguistic structures brought about by evolutionary adaptation on the basis of cognitive invariants and thus at explaining

Abstract:

В статье обсуждаются дискуссионные вопросы лингвокультурологии, концептологии, языковой картины мира, национального коммуникативного поведения. Рассматриваются не получившие пока однозначного решения дефиниции концепта, различные подходы к отождествлению концепта и понятия, значения и концепта (и основания таких отождествлений). Дискуссионной, по мнению критиков лингвокультурологии, является и методика выделения концепта, преодоление порочного круга рассуждения типа «концепты выделяются по признаку непереводимости, а основным свойством концептов является непереводимость». Неясным предстает воп
