4.0 out of 5 stars
Transformational,
By Stephen Pellerine (In a bookshelf somewhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linguistic Theory and Psychological Reality (Mit Bicentennial Studies Series: N0. 4) (Paperback)
I think this book, given the date of its first publication (1978) and its origins (MIT), smells a lot like Chomskyian grammar theories, so accordingly you can judge if the book would be your cup of tea or not (it actually makes refence to Chomsky setting a stage in the opening sentence). For a rounded linguist interest should be high. For those interested in building an understanding of Chomsky's ideas I think you will be able to do it with this volume.The book is more of one in psycholinguistics rather than cognitive linguistics - so it dissects a lot of sentences and phrases at the grammatical level. If you are keen on language at this level, and within such contexts, I think you will enjoy this book a lot. It is not a fun easy read, for most, but more of an academic approach dissecting language - so beware: not a NYTimes best seller, but I feel a very good "classic" in linguistic theory. |
