A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book addresses one of the most fundamental questions that can be asked about language: how can we explain language universals? There are currently many different views on this question. Some argue for the innateness of general linguistic principles within the human species. Others see a more social foundation to language, with linguistic structure reflecting various communicative functions. Yet others appeal to the psychological demands placed upon language - users in producing and comprehending language in real time. Language is also seen as a reflection of our human perceptual and cognitive apparatus, and there are also more grammar-internal explanations, whereby one part of the grammar is explained by another. This volume brings together all of these different views. The contributors have each been asked to provide some general explanation for which they see evidence, and to provide illustrative universal data supporting it. Expertise from several related disciplines includes linguistic, psycholinguistics and computer science-neural computing and artificial intelligence.The book is divided into five sections: an introductory section on explaining language universals; a section on innateness and learnability; on semantic and pragmatic explanations; on cognitive, perceptual and processing explanations; and on the diachronic dimension in explanation. This book addresses one of the most fundamental questions that can be asked about language: how can we explain language universals? There are currently many different views of this question. Some argue for the innateness of general linguistic principles within the human species. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
