It provides an integrated pragmatic-semantic theory of definite and indefinite reference, on the basis of which, many co-occurance restrictions between articles and non-modifiers are explained. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the general theoretical level, the book looks at the role of semantics in the prediction of all and only the grammatical sentences of a language. At a more particular level, it explores the nature of reference, examining an important selection of subjects such as the contrast between definiteness and indefiniteness, the relationship between definite and demonstrative reference, and the relationship between pragmatic and logical aspects of determining meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138919330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138919334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"John Hawkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838277996799,"sku":"9781138919334","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_987fe1e7-5d5c-41c1-ad7f-096b46233215.jpg?v=1746589336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/definiteness-and-indefiniteness-john-hawkins-9781138919334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
