CHOMSKYIDEAS AND IDEALS
Neil Smith and Nicholas Allott
Third Edition
Neil Smith, University College London
Nicholas Allott, University of Oslo
Authors of Chomsky: Ideas and Ideals (3rd edition)
Chomsky’s work redefined linguistics, re-oriented much of philosophy and
psychology, and inaugurated the cognitive revolution. As if this weren’t enough,
his political activism and his systematic dissection of the lies of government have resulted
in his becoming the conscience of the West. But he is still widely misunderstood, frequently
misrepresented and often vilified. We wrote this book because we want to examine and
evaluate the criticism, emphasize what is of continuing importance in Chomsky’s work,
explain the technical details of his revolutionary linguistics, and spell out their implications for
cognitive science more generally. Additionally, we illustrate in detail his political contribution,
drawing parallels between his ideas and his ideals.

Authors of Exploring Language and Linguistics
In devising this book, our aim was to bring together experts who could
write about linguistic disciplines in a way that is accessible to introductory
readers. We also wanted a volume that would reflect the many applications of
linguistics to areas that we know from experience students find relevant and
interesting. We hope this book engages students who are studying linguistics
for the first time and encourages them to explore the subject further.

Editors of The Cambridge Handbook of English Historical Linguistics
This handbook arises from our involvement in English historical linguistics and
our deep interest in language change phenomena. Our intention is to offer an
up-to-date account of the methodology used and insights obtained in current research
on the history of English. In particular, we wish to highlight both language-theoretical
approaches and hands-on investigations of empirical data. It has been exciting to work
on the book with both established and rising scholars in the field.

Women Talk More Than Men... And Other Myths about Language ExplainedAbby KaplanUniversity of Utah
This textbook explores popular questions about language. Do women talk more than men? Does texting make us stupid? Accessibly written and drawing on real experiments, it trains students to become informed consumers of social science research. A broad range of topics makes the book appropriate for non-technical introductory linguistics courses.
Advance praise: ‘In this lucid and approachable book, Kaplan debunks a variety of common misconceptions about language, and provides the reader with guidance on how language should be studied. It is an elegant achievement.’Neil Smith, University College London

Language and Complex SystemsWilliam A. Kretzschmar, JrUniversity of Georgia
Following Kretzschmar’s foundational study The Linguistics of Speech, this book demonstrates how the science of complex systems changes every area of linguistics: how to make a grammar, how to think about the history of language, how language works in the brain, and how it works in social settings.
‘In Language and Complex Systems, William Kretzschmar brings complexity theory to linguistics. Clear and compelling, the book offers a fresh perspective on the way that orderliness arises in language.’Edwin Battistella, Southern Oregon University

The Rise of WritingRedefining Mass LiteracyDeborah BrandtUniversity of Wisconsin, Madison
Drawing on real-life interviews, Brandt explores what happens when writing overtakes reading as the basis of people’s daily literate experience.
‘Based on seven years of interviewing people in workplaces, for the state, and as authors this remarkable book makes strong claims about the growing significance of writing. I was drawn into it from the first page of the introduction and just wanted to read on all the time.’David Barton, Lancaster University

The Linguistic Typology of TemplatesJeff GoodState University of New York, Buffalo
Linguistic templates have long been of interest to linguists. They have yet to be comprehensively studied at the word and sentential level. This book provides the first general reference and develops cutting-edge computational methods to examine their cross-linguistic variation. It will be of interest to theoretical, descriptive, and typologically oriented linguists.
Advance praise: ‘This book serves as an important gateway into a more productive cross-linguistic understanding of these constructions across a broad range of structural domains. It will quickly become a standard reference for typological investigations of seemingly unrelated templatic phenomena.’Kristine A. Hildebrandt, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville

Language Faculty ScienceHajime HojiUniversity of Southern California
Language Faculty Science explores how the language faculty can be studied as exact science, providing its conceptual basis and experimental demonstration. It proposes how we can deduce from universal and language-particular hypotheses definite predictions about acceptability judgments by individual speakers and obtain experimental results precisely in accordance with such predictions.
Advance praise: ‘A truly remarkable achievement. With the experimental methodology rigorously worked out in Language Faculty Science, generative linguistics could indeed become a viable empirical science, rather than a philosophy of mind.’Naoki Fukui, Sophia University

Inflectional DefectivenessAndrea D. SimsOhio State University
An innovative investigation of ‘missing’ grammatical forms and their significance for linguistic theory. This accessible introduction to inflectional defectiveness draws on both formal and psycholinguistic perspectives to explore the structure of inflectional paradigms: the text’s novel approach makes it essential reading for graduate students and researchers in linguistics.
‘Sims’ study is an important contribution to our understanding of inflectional systems. It is a very wide-ranging survey of defectiveness and makes a compelling case for treating it as an important and often very systematic property of inflectional systems. At the same time the book provides a clear and readable survey of the key features of the information-theoretic word-and-paradigm model,
and shows how defectiveness can provide a strong motivation for that model.’Andrew Spencer, University of Essex

The Structure of Spoken LanguageIntonation in RomancePhilippe MartinUniversité Paris Diderot
Drawing on data from six Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Romanian), this monograph focuses on a widely debated area of phonetics and phonology: intonation, and specifically its relation to metrics, its interface with syntax, and whether it can be attributed to phonetics or phonology, or to both.
‘One of the leading scholars in the field of prosody presents his framework in this comprehensive book. The ‘incremental storage concatenation model’ challenges the ‘autosegmental model’ on the basis of large spoken corpora, looking at the Romance languages in particular, while also extending to English and Chinese Mandarin. An independent
prosodic structure assembles the prosodic words into a hierarchy and predicts actual spontaneous speech data on the basis of a ‘dependency to the right’ principle.’Emanuela Cresti, University of Florence

Semantics and pragmatics
Modality and Propositional AttitudesMichael HegartyLouisiana State University
This book shows that the semantic analysis of notions of possibility and necessity enhance our understanding of reports of belief or emotional state. This helps to solve problems in semantic theory, and it provides a high level proposal for the nature and effects of the language disorder of fluent aphasia.
Advance praise: ‘This is the most comprehensive survey of modality – a truly wide-ranging reappraisal of this most difficult field of modern linguistics.’Werner Abraham

The Cambridge Handbook of MorphologyEdited by Andrew HippisleyUniversity of Kentucky
and Greg StumpUniversity of Kentucky
The Cambridge Handbook of Morphology describes the diversity of morphological phenomena in the world’s languages, surveying the methodologies by which these phenomena are investigated and the theoretical interpretations that have been proposed to explain them. The Handbook provides morphologists with a comprehensive account of the interlocking issues and hypotheses that drive research in morphology; for linguists generally, it presents current thought on the interface of morphology with other grammatical components and on the significance of morphology for
understanding language change and the psychology of language; for students of linguistics, it is a guide to the present-day landscape of morphological science and to the advances that have brought it to its current state; and for readers in other fields (psychology, philosophy, computer science, and others), it reveals just how much we know about systematic relations of form to content in a language’s words – and how much we have yet to learn.Cambridge Handbooks in Language and Linguistics

Sometimes dismissed as linguistically epiphenomenal, inflectional paradigms are, in reality, the interface of a language’s morphology with its syntax and semantics. Drawing on abundant linguistic evidence, Stump develops a new theoretical framework to explicate the centrality of paradigms in resolving the frequent and varied mismatches between words’ form and content.Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 149

Research methods in linguistics
The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic TypologyEdited by Alexandra AikhenvaldLa Trobe University, Victoria
and R. M. W. DixonLa Trobe University, Victoria
Linguistic Typology refers to the cross-linguistic study of languages, which involves comparing languages in terms of their structure and function, and categorising them into types, and language families. Languages are classified in terms of the range of linguistic levels such as syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, lexicon and cultural/social conventions, making this field relevant to work in almost every subdiscipline of linguistics. This field-defining handbook consists of twenty-nine chapters written by leading experts in the field, and covers methodology, typological profiling and categorisation. The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Typology provides a state-of-the-art survey of theories and methods used in
present-day linguistic typology, and the conclusions we can draw from them.Cambridge Handbooks in Language and Linguistics

The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus LinguisticsEdited by Douglas BiberNorthern Arizona University
and Randi ReppenNorthern Arizona University
The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics (CHECL) surveys the breadth of corpus-based linguistic research on English, including chapters on collocations, phraseology, grammatical variation, historical change, and the description of registers and dialects. The most innovative aspects of the CHECL are its emphasis on critical discussion, its explicit evaluation of the state of the art in each sub-discipline, and the inclusion of empirical case studies. While each chapter includes a broad survey of previous research, the primary focus is on a detailed description of the most important corpus-based studies in this area, with discussion of what those studies found, and why they are important. Each chapter also includes a critical discussion of the corpus-based methods employed for research in this area, as well as an explicit summary of new findings and discoveries.
‘This Handbook offers uniquely detailed discussions of the latest corpus-based linguistic research on language variation and use, telling us what we learnt through the findings and why they are significant.’Eniko Csomay, San Diego State University

The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Multi-CompetenceEdited by Vivian CookUniversity of Newcastle upon Tyne
and Li WeiBirkbeck, University of London
How are two or more languages learned and contained in the same mind or the same community? This handbook presents an up-to-date view of the concept of multi-competence, exploring the research questions it has generated and the methods that have been used to investigate it. The book brings together psychologists, sociolinguists, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) researchers, and language teachers from across the world to look at how multi-competence relates to their own areas of study. This comprehensive, state-of-the-art exploration of multi-competence research and ideas offers a powerful critique of the values and methods of classical SLA research, and an exciting preview of the future implications of multi-competence for research and thinking about language. It is an essential reference for all those concerned with language learning, language use and language teaching.Contributors: Vivian Cook, Goro Murahata, Yoshiko Murahata, Lourdes Ortega, Jyotsna Vaid, Renata Meuter, Rita Francheschini, Kees de Bot, Larissa Aronin, Li Wei, Joan Kelly Hall, Éva Berkes, Suzanne Flynn, Leah Roberts, Annette M.

The Cambridge Handbook of Learner Corpus ResearchEdited by Sylviane GrangerUniversité Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
Gaëtanelle GilquinUniversité Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
and Fanny MeunierUniversité Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
The origins of learner corpus research go back to the late 1980s when large electronic collections of written or spoken data started to be collected from foreign/second language learners, with a view to advancing our understanding of the mechanisms of second language acquisition and developing tailor-made pedagogical tools. Engaging with the interdisciplinary nature of this fast-growing field, The Cambridge Handbook of Learner Corpus Research explores the diverse and extensive applications of learner corpora, with 27 chapters written by internationally renowned experts. This comprehensive work is a vital resource for students, teachers and researchers, offering fresh perspectives and a unique overview of the field. With representative studies in each chapter which provide an essential guide on how to conduct learner corpus research in a wide range of areas, this work is a cutting-edge account of learner corpus collection, annotation, methodology, theory, analysis and applications.

Why We GestureThe Surprising Role of Hand Movements in CommunicationDavid McNeillUniversity of Chicago
This unique contribution to the field builds upon decades of research and presents a compelling new perspective on speech and gesture. Why We Gesture brings gestures to the fore, countering the traditional view that they are simply add-ons with a decorative function. McNeill’s central idea is that gestures orchestrate speech.
‘David McNeill explores and extends his life’s work, the study of the gesture/language system – our unique, human, expressive being – in this exhilarating, challenging, masterly tour-de-force.’Jonathan Cole

Bilingual Figurative Language ProcessingEdited by Roberto R. HerediaTexas A & M University
and Anna B. CieślickaTexas A & M University
Bilingual Figurative Language Processing provides a much-needed bilingual perspective to the field of figurative language. This is the first book of its kind to address how bilinguals learn, store and comprehend figurative language. It offers readers an overview of the major theoretical and methodological advances in this field.
‘This groundbreaking book dares to venture not just in one but in two areas that are rarely visited by research in bilingualism and figurative language. Grounded in state-of-the-art theoretical, methodological, analytical, and experimental approaches, this volume offers cutting-edge research on acquisition, production, processing
and comprehension of figurative language in the bilingual linguistic repertoire. The editors deserve our great admiration for bringing together a team of international researchers to cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from humor, metaphors and irony to negative sentiments in order to foreground applied and cross-linguistic issues.’Tej K.

The Cambridge Handbook of Bilingual ProcessingEdited by John W. SchwieterWilfrid Laurier University, Ontario and University of Greenwich
How does a human acquire, comprehend, produce and control multiple languages with just the power of one mind? What are the cognitive consequences of being a bilingual? These are just a few of the intriguing questions at the core of studying bilingualism from psycholinguistic and neurocognitive perspectives. Bringing together some of the world’s leading experts in bilingualism, cognitive psychology and language acquisition, The Cambridge Handbook of Bilingual Processing explores these questions by presenting a clear overview of current theories and findings in bilingual processing. This comprehensive handbook is organized around overarching thematic areas including theories and methodologies, acquisition and development, comprehension and representation, production, control, and the cognitive consequences of bilingualism. The handbook serves as an informative overview for researchers interested in cognitive bilingualism and the logic of theoretical and experimental approaches to language science. It also functions as an instrumental source of readings for anyone interested in bilingual processing.
‘The editor has brought together an excellent group of scholars who provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview on topics inherent to bilingual language processing. In the coming years, this volume will
surely become the reference book for researchers and students working in the field of bilingualism.’Jubin Abutalebi, Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele

Scalarity in the Verbal DomainThe Case of Verbal Prefixation in RussianOlga KaganVrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
Olga Kagan presents a new unified analysis of Russian verbal prefixes which combines a formal semantic approach with detailed discussion of data. In doing so, she sheds light on an intricate and puzzling phenomenon which is of interest to linguists working across a wide range of fields.
‘The scale hypothesis brings new life into the perennial discussion of whether it is possible to assign verbal prefixes with a uniform meaning despite their apparent polysemy.
Kagan succeeds with her scalar approach in formulating a precise semantics for various prefixes in Russian. This important contribution to the field will certainly shape the discussion among semanticists and Slavicists alike in the years to come.’Atle Grønn, University of Oslo

The Emergence of Hybrid GrammarsLanguage Contact and ChangeEnoch Oladé AbohUniversiteit van Amsterdam
Based on a detailed study of creole languages, this book contributes to the debate on language acquisition and change by showing that language acquisition requires contact between different linguistic sub-systems that feed into the hybrid grammars that learners develop. Competition between
these grammars may eventually result in language change.
‘Enoch Aboh’s book is a tour de force as it weaves together painstakingly documented history, novel and reliable empirical bases and elegant theoretical analyses in order to draw a fascinating and often profoundly satisfying scenario of Creole formation. Such a scenario will enliven and enlighten current debates in Creole studies. Aboh raises the bar by many notches – way above the quality level of most other hypotheses on the market. This book is a delight as it takes us up close and personal to the theater of Creole formation, from Africa to the Americas … original and insightful … This book is a refreshing contribution to Creole studies and beyond, with many enriching insights for linguistic theory and for theories of language contact and language change writ large.

Grammar in Everyday TalkBuilding Responsive ActionsSandra A. ThompsonUniversity of California, Santa Barbara
Barbara A. FoxUniversity of Colorado Boulder
and Elizabeth Couper-KuhlenUniversity of Helsinki
Drawing on everyday telephone and video interactions, this book surveys how English speakers use grammar to formulate responses in ordinary conversation. Speakers build their responses in a variety of ways: the responses can be longer or shorter,
repetitive or not, and can be uttered with different intonational ‘melodies’.
‘[This book] challenges serious scholars of language and social interaction with a rich, new and exquisitely contextual account of the work people do through their responses in real-time social interaction. Findings presented in the book are fully data-driven and compel us to critically re-envision the traditionally taken-for-granted notions that some utterances are ‘elliptical’ or ‘non-sentential’. [The authors] demonstrate that response formats are artfully and precisely fitted to their contexts, and that the attested composition of utterances results from the limited range of meaning-making potentials opened up in the course of developing sequences of action. The presentation of findings, representing a new standard of methodological and theoretical integrity, is tightly articulated with forty years of research on language form and interactional sequence. Future research on sequence organization and action formats must take this book as a fundamental reference point, including the cross-linguistic expansion of this project, which the authors enthusiastically invite.’Cecilia E.

The Colloquia of the Hermeneumata PseudodositheanaEdited by Eleanor DickeyUniversity of Reading
The Colloquia are manuals written to help ancient Greeks and Romans get around in each other’s languages; they contain examples of how to conduct activities like shopping, banking, visiting friends, hosting parties, taking oaths, winning lawsuits, using the public baths, having fights, making excuses and going to school. They thus offer a unique glimpse of daily life in the early Roman Empire and are an important resource for understanding ancient culture. They have, however, been unjustly neglected because until now there were no modern editions of the
16 Historical linguistics
texts, no translations into any modern language, and little understanding of what the Colloquia are and where they come from. This two-volume set makes the Colloquia accessible for the first time by combining a new edition, translation and commentary with a groundbreaking, comprehensive study of their origins. It is clearly written and will interest students, non-specialists and professional scholars alike.Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries

The Cambridge Handbook of English Historical LinguisticsEdited by Merja KytöUppsala Universitet, Sweden
and Päivi PahtaUniversity of Tampere, Finland
English historical linguistics is a subfield of linguistics which has developed theories and methods for exploring the history of the English language. This Handbook provides an account of state-of-the-art research on this history. It offers an in-depth survey of materials, methods, and language-theoretical models used to study the long diachrony of English. The frameworks covered include corpus linguistics, historical sociolinguistics, historical pragmatics and manuscript studies, among others. The chapters, by leading experts, examine the interplay of language theory and empirical data throughout, critically assessing the work in the field. Of particular importance are the diverse data sources which have become increasingly available in electronic form, allowing the discipline to develop in new directions. The Handbook offers access to the rich and many-faceted spectrum of work in English historical linguistics, past and present, and will be useful for researchers and students interested in hands-on research on the history of English.
Advance praise: ‘Written by the foremost experts in the field, this timely handbook provides a fresh and exciting overview of methodologies and approaches in the diachronic study of the English language.’Andreas H. Jucker, University of Zurich

Using Japanese SynonymsA E BackhouseHokkaido University, Japan
The book is aimed at English-speaking learners of Japanese and seeks to extend their control of vocabulary in both production and comprehension. Japanese near-synonyms are given clear descriptions of meaning (through English definitions) and use (in terms of combination, collocation and situational factors) and illustrated by authentic examples.
Advance praise: ‘Using Japanese Synonyms is a thesaurus and reference for the intermediate and advanced student of Japanese. The hundreds of words and authentic examples are organized into approximately 300 semantic frames, which range literally from A (abunai) to Z (zenzen). Within each frame, the words and examples are chosen to highlight potential problems of understanding and differentiation for English-speaking learners. Meaning and register are explicitly addressed. The volume includes two indices for
easy access and cross-referencing, and it can be used for self-study or in a classroom setting.’William McClure, Queens College, City University of New York

Language EvolutionThe Windows ApproachRudolf BothaUniversity of Stellenbosch, South Africa
The lack of direct evidence about language evolution makes it notoriously difficult to study. The Windows Approach gleans indirect evidence about it from phenomena such as fossil skulls, prehistoric shell-beads, homesign systems, pidgin languages and motherese. Botha elucidates, analyses and appraises this approach in detail.
Advance praise: ‘In 2006, Rudie Botha launched an all out attack on the legitimacy of the claim that the South African archaeological site of Blombos had evidence of ‘fully syntactic’ language 75,000 years ago. No one has been able to counter the logic of his argument, and this book applies that same relentless, illuminating logic to other claims in the study of language origins. In doing so, Botha shows just how carefully any claims must be justified, and just how powerful his Windows Approach is. Students and researchers in archaeology, primatology, linguistics, and comparative ethology cannot ignore this book.’Iain Davidson, University of New England

Free Will and the BrainNeuroscientific, Philosophical, and Legal PerspectivesEdited by Walter GlannonUniversity of Calgary
Drawing upon the perspectives of neuroscience, philosophy, psychology and law in explaining and assessing human thought and behavior, Free Will and the Brain provides a distinctive approach to the perennial question of whether we have free will and can be responsible for our actions.
‘If ever a subject needed multi-author perspectives, it is this one. Free Will and the Brain fulfils a crucial need by bringing together the expertise of philosophers, psychiatrists, neuroscientists and legal experts. It deals with most aspects of this vast subject, but is particularly strong on brain disorders that disrupt free will and their implications for legal decisions. I strongly recommend it!’Peter Clarke, neuroscientist and former Associate Professor, University of Lausanne

It is of interest to scholars and upper-level students of the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, logic, epistemology, linguistics, and metaphysics.
‘This book not only offers about the best account I have seen of what is distinctive about philosophical fictionalism, but also offers a compelling argument in favour of the authors’ own thoroughgoing ‘semantic pretence’ version of fictionalism. A remarkable achievement.’F. W. Kroon, University of Auckland

DilemmasThe Tarner Lectures 1953Gilbert Ryle
Gilbert Ryle’s classic book is an exploration of the apparent dilemmas that arise from everyday ways of thinking, showing that these conflicts are in fact false dilemmas. Presented in a fresh series livery, featuring a specially commissioned Preface written by Barry Stroud, it has been revived for a new generation of readers.
‘The great merit of this book is that it grasps philosophical problems at that critical stage when they are just casting off their connexions with everyday life, just about to launch on their long academic flight, and that it attempts to deal with them then and there, before they can become airborne. Brisk, homely and almost practical, it really challenges everyone to try to be his own philosopher … the peculiar, penetrating simplicity of this kind of philosophy is exceedingly hard to achieve.’The Times Literary Supplement

The Brain in a VatEdited by Sanford C. GoldbergNorthwestern University, Illinois

Reviewing the history and contributions of debates on this thought experiment, as well as discussing the impact of contemporary philosophical debates, the volume is a valuable resource for advanced students and readers in philosophy of mind and language, epistemology and metaphysics.
Advance praise: ‘This important new book brings Putnam’s famous brain-in-a-vat argument bang up to date. Cutting edge papers by some of today’s leading philosophers show how the argument provides a powerful lens through which to examine central topics such as semantic externalism, self-knowledge, the nature of justification, and metaphysical realism.’Åsa Wikforss, Stockholms Universitet

The Cambridge Handbook of
Linguistic Multi-CompetenceEditors: Vivian Cook, University of Newcastle upon Tyne Li Wei, Birkbeck, University of London
With contributions from a team of international experts, this handbook presents the innovative multi-competence approach to speakers who know more than one language. Wide-ranging chapters make this fascinating reading for students and researchers in the fields of SLA, bilingualism, linguistics and psychology.
• Presents a different view of bilingualism and second language acquisition, based on a bilingual rather than monolingual perspective
• Integrates a wide range of research areas, from sociology to psychology, language teaching to heritage languages and beyond
• Challenges the accepted view of native speaker norm in psychology and second language acquisition
