{"product_id":"deviational-syntactic-structures-hans-gotzsche-9781472587961","title":"Deviational Syntactic Structures","description":"Taking as a point of departure ideas and principles from the 18th and 19th century Danish tradition, and from 20th century traditions of the Copenhagen School of linguistics, this book attempts to set up a formal theory of syntax that addresses some of the weak points of other formal grammars, notably Chomskyan grammar. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter introductions to the ideas of Br ndal, Hjelmslev and Diderichsen, Götzsche lays the philosophical and theoretical foundations of his formalism, based on a theory of universal pragmatics and on the invention of a special kind of formal logic called 'occurrence logic', and elaborates this formal system in detail. In order to justify the adequacy of the theory, the theoretical apparatus is applied to the general structures of Danish and Swedish and illustrated by linguistic material from these languages. Furthermore, the ambition is to propose solutions to traditional problems concerning more inferior grammatical categories like prepositions, infinitive markers and particles. The concluding chapter of the book presents some ideas about how the formal system can be transformed into a model of the cognitive mechanism that handles syntax.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to linguists, philosophers and scholars in theoretical linguistics and in Modern Languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Gotzsche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472587960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472587961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d","brand":"Hans Gotzsche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425274839295,"sku":"9781472587961","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fddc894a-44fe-4c9b-a34c-2c73aa0c318e.jpg?v=1761538136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deviational-syntactic-structures-hans-gotzsche-9781472587961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
