{"product_id":"coordination-and-the-syntax-ds-daniel-altshuler-9780198804239","title":"Coordination and the Syntax - Discourse Interface","description":"This survey explores interactions between syntax and discourse, through a case study of patterns of extraction from coordinate structures. The theoretical breadth of the volume makes it the most complete account of extraction from coordinate structures to date: at first glance, it appears to be a syntactic matter, but the survey raises theoretical and empirical questions not just for syntax, but also across semantics, pragmatics, and discourse structure. Rather than promoting a single analysis, Daniel Altshuler and Robert Truswell outline reasonable hypotheses that allow theoretical conclusions to be deducted from empirical facts. The theoretical conclusions show that coordinate structures have the potential to discriminate between current syntactic theories, and to inform work on the interfaces between syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse. In many cases, however, the necessary empirical work has not yet been carried out, and too much of the literature revolves around the same handful of primarily English examples. The volume offers a starting point for further research on extraction from coordinate structures, particularly in understudied languages, and provides a guide to how to tease out the theoretical implications of empirical findings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Altshuler, Robert Truswell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198804237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198804239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.81h x 7.01w x 0.97d","brand":"Daniel Altshuler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076434718975,"sku":"9780198804239","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02fc04ad-3ea5-4ad7-baba-439f1add3b3d.jpg?v=1685464972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coordination-and-the-syntax-ds-daniel-altshuler-9780198804239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
