Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This book investigates the architecture of the language faculty by considering what the properties of language reveal about the mental abilities and processes involved in language acquisition. The language faculty, the author argues, must be able not only to accommodate what is general, exceptionless, and universal in language, but must also be capable of dealing with what is irregular, exceptional, and idiosyncratic. In Syntactic Nuts Peter Culicover showsthat this is true not only of the lexicon, but for syntax.Marginal and exceptional cases, where there is no straightforward form-meaning correspondence, are dealt with by the languagefaculty easily and precisely as the general cases. In considering how and why this should be the author argues against the prevailing trend in generative grammar, which takes the learner as either incorporating maximally global generalisations as part of its innate capacity for language, or projecting global generalisations from a very limited input on the basis of innate mechanisms. He suggests that the learning mechanism does not generalize significantly beyond the evidence presented to it,and further that it seeks to form generalizations based on all and only the evidence presented to it.Syntactic Nuts makes a fundamental contribution to generative grammar andsyntactic theory. It situates syntactic theory within cognitive science in a novel way. It contributes to an alternative, and yet in many ways traditional, perspective on the manner in which knowledge is represented and processed in the mind. How are native speakers of a language instinctively able to make precise linguistic judgements about marginal syntactic matters? What does this tell us about both the structure of language and our innate language ability as humans? Professor Culicover's in-depth study will appeal to both graduate students and professionals.
