The times Educational supplement 'This is an excellent text which would give the undergraduate student as fine an introduction to the field of psycholinguistics as is available today.' Choice This concise and readable introduction to psycholinguistics requires on prior knowledge of the subject. Jean aitchison addresses key questions such as： Is language restricted to humans？ Is there biologica evidence for innate language capacity？ How do children learn language？ How do we understand and produce speech？ This widley used and highly successful book has been extensively revised.

"This lively book provides a truly comprehensive introduction to current linguistic semantics. Used in introductory and intermediate courses in semantics， it will supply teachers with an easy to use basic text and students with an accessible source of dependable information＇. Ronnie Cann， University of Edinburgh."This is a solid， well-written and very comprehensive textbook that will prove an invaluable resource in introductory semantics classes. The exercises are especially useful and the sections on theoretical approaches represent ideal links to more advanced semantic theory＇ David Adger， University of York This volume provides an engaging introduction to semantics for readers new to the subject.The book has three sections. Part I is concerned with the place of semantics within linguistics and its relation with the disciplines of philosophy and psychology. Part II introduces central topics in the description of word and sentence meaning. Part III reviews the three main current theoretical approaches to semantics; componential theory， formal semantics and cognitive semantics.The book discusses semantic phenomena from a wide range of languages. Each chapter contains exercises to alow the reader to explore the issues raised， and suggestions for further teadings.John I.Saeed is Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Language and Communication Studies， Trinity College， University of Dublin. He is author of several books， including Somali Reference Grammar （second edition， 1993）and Somali （forthcoming， 1997）.

This text is an up-to-date introduction to language acquisition. designed to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in linguistics and cognitive science. It is the first language acquisition text to be written from the perspctive of recent theoretical linguistics， and uses Chomskyan generative grammar as a framework for description. Taking models and analyses from generative phonology， morphology， syntax and semantics， Professor goodluck describes children's language acquisition using examples from a variety of languages. Further chapters take up central questions concerning cognitive mechanisms by which children process language and form rules， the nature of the input to the language learner， and the relation between language development and other aspects of cognitive development. The book is extensively illustrated with models and figures， and each chapter is followed by questions for discussion and suggestions for further reading. It also includes a full bibliography.

本书实际上是作者的汉语语法论文集，从100多篇语法论文中精选出23篇，分为6个专题，分别是：第一章：句法语义的双向研究（4篇）；第二章：三个平面的交叉研究（4篇）；第三章：配价与功能研究（4篇）；第四章：句式变换研究（4篇）；第五章：语义指向研究（3篇）；第六章：动态变化研究（4篇）。这些论文已经在《中国语文》等重要杂志上发表过，比较全面地反映了作者汉语语法研究的总思路和研究水平。作者认为：语法研究的最终目标应该是揭示语义的决定性、句法的强制性、语用的选择性和认知的解释性。本书遵循'语法研究的双向性原则'，这主要是指：形式与意义、静态与动态、结构与功能、个性与共性、微观与宏观、历时与共时、本体与应用等7个方面的有机结合。本书的创新之处主要在于：第一，对语法的形式与意义的关系进行了详细的阐述，第一次明确指出：以语法意义为出发点去寻找形式上的证明，似乎更加适合于汉语，这就为汉语语义语法的建立在理论上提供了依据。第二，提出有较强解释力的'汉语语法的双向选择性原则'，具体分析了语义的一致性原则、自足性原则和决定性原则。并且运用这一原则对汉语的名量词、动量词进行了有创见性的研究。第三，对三个平面的几种理论模式进行了比较研究，在此基础上提出？quot;立体交叉模式'，并且用来分析定语移位等疑难问题，提出了'语法功能排他性'的鉴定方法，在疑问句研究中也贯穿了这一思想。第四，对现代汉语的疑问句以及语气词'呢'进行了比较深入的分析，指出'呢'实际上并不是个疑问语气词；还对'吧'字疑问句进行了比较研究，并且提出了疑问句的结构类型跟疑问程度的对应关系。第五，对汉语的配价理论进行了新的思考，提出要区分'语义价'与'句法向'的新思路，认为前者只是一种可能性，后者才是一种现实性，并运用来具体分析了双音节的'V+N'的配价组合。第六，总结了分化汉语歧义的新方法，特别是运用语义指向、语义特征、语义角色、语义结构以及语用中的预设/焦点等有效手段来进行分化，这就为歧义结构的分化在理论上进行了必要的总结。第七，运用变换的方法对'把'字句进行了比较全面的分析，指出'致果'和'致态'才是把字句真正的语法意义，并且运用词的次范畴理论讨论了把字句跟其他句式之间的变换关系以及变换条件。第八，对副词的语义指向在理论上作了比较深入的探讨，提出了'指'、'联'、'项'一系列的新概念，并用来有效地分析了'又'字句和'比'字句，从而比较合理地解决了比字句后项省略中的疑难问题。第九，对'ABB'格式、'非X不Y'格式、上海方言的'头'字结构这些富有汉语特色的格式以及对外汉语语法教学的生成句型等作了动态的有发展变化眼光的研究，并且提出了一些新的见解。这些论文的观点新颖，材料可靠，研究的范围比较宽，在理论和方法上都有可借鉴之处，所以发表以后，在汉语语法学界已经产生比较大的影响，被引用上百次。

本词典保持了《汉语大词典》“古今兼收，源流并重”的原则，共收古今成语近2.5万条，凡300余万字。所收都是严格意义上的成语，其它一些非成语性的固定短语如谚语、俗语、惯用语等，原则上不予收录；即便如此，本书在严肃的成语词典中，也可算是“大而全”的一种了。本书供中等以上文化程度的读者学习和工作参考。 本书前言特色及评论文章节选

Linguistics is a wide-ranging discipline. Within its compass lie topics and questions far apart from each other， but all. nonetheless. relevant to our understanding of the nature， structure， use and history of human language. this new. fourth edition of General Linguistics draws these strands together into a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the subject. The book considers; semantics and pragmatics dialect and style phonetics and phonology morphology and syntax， with reference both to traditional and to current theories comparative-historical linguistics and linguistic typology linguistics' relation to other disciplines the practical applications of linguistics the 2.500 years of linguistic thought that lies behind what we do and think today The fourth edition of this respected textbook has been fully revised and updated. It introduces readers to important current and new developments， theories and insights. but always within the context of the basic body of subjects traditionally included in the comprehension of general linguistics. Aided by a thorough bibiography. this book will prove essential reading for all students embarking on linguistics courses at any level.

This fully revised text provides an understandable， clear overview of the psychology of language. Using an information-processing approach， Carroll brings the current developments and controversies in psycholinguistics to students in an engaging style and sets them in historical context. Functional in its approach， it fills the need for an up-to-date and clearly written treatment of the field. It gives students a balanced look at the subject. He includes an evenhanded and consistent discussion from both camps within the psycholinguistics field- both the cognitive side and the developmental side of research-to give students a comprehensive overview. HIGHLIGHTS provides students with excellent preparatory material for the more indepth chapters that follow uses everyday examples throughout the book， and fundamental questions are approached from a variety of perspectives， including different theoretical positions， various research strategies and classical versus more contemporary research examines current controversies on an issue-by-issue basis， and the author explores which theoretical orientation to each issue is best supported by research gives new information on non-alphabetic orthographies revises the section on Memory for Discourse to include emphasis on verbatim propositional and situational representation includes a new discussion on aphasias in the biologicao foundations of language
