Smaby | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Formal Linguistics Series | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | The recent rapid development of transformational grammars has incorpo rated some strong claims in the areas of semantics and co-occurrence. The earlier structuralists relied on a minimum of information about the meaning of strings of a language. They asked only if strings of sounds were different in meaning - or simply were different words or phrases. Current transfor mational grammars, on the other hand, set as their goal the production of exactly the meaningful strings of a language. Stated slightly differently, they wish to specify exactly which strings of a language can occur together (meaningfully) in a given order. The present book purports to show that transformational grammar is in dependent of the current trends in semantics. I claim that exciting and sophisticated transformational grammars are required for describing when strings of a language mean the same, that is, for describing when strings of a language are paraphrases of each other. This task can be quite naturally limited to a project of much weaker semantic claims than those which are current in transformational linguistics. | 出版日期 | Book 1971 | 关键词 | Index; grammar; language; linguistics; present; semantics; subject | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-3338-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-3340-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-010-3338-1 | copyright | D.
