Modern English linguistics: A structural and transformational grammar by John P Broderick Modern English Linguistics showed how transformational grammar developed
out of American structuralist morphology and syntax. It then went on
to describe English grammar in some detail using the so-called "extended
standard theory" of transformational grammar described in Noam Chomsky's
book, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. Despite considerable changes
in Chomsky's ideas in the 1980s and 1990s (as for example, government and
binding theory), linguistics textbooks continued to be published well into
the 1990s that were still based on the Aspects model.
First of its kind, sure to set the standard for future psychology reference works. Provides psychologists, practitioners, researchers, and students with complete and up-to-date information on the field of psychology. Twelve volumes cover all of the fundamental areas of knowledge in the field. Unlike an encyclopedia, the volumes in this set can stand alone as state-of-the-field handbooks. Together they cover both the science and the practice of psychology broadly and in depth.
In this book, some of the world's leading scholars come together to describe their thinking and research on the topic of the psychology of leadership. The editors' goal was not to focus the chapters on a single approach to the study and conceptualization of leadership but rather to display the diversity of issues that surround the topic.
Leadership scholars have identified a host of approaches to the study of leadership. What are the personal characteristics of leaders? What is the nature of the relation between leaders and followers? Why do we perceive some people to be better leaders than others? What are the circumstances that evoke leadership qualities in people? Can leadership be taught? And so on.
The contributions to this book examine these important questions and fall into three categories: conceptions of leadership, factors that influence the effectiveness of leadership, and the consequences and effects of leadership on the leader. We hope that this book is equally useful to those who are or would be leaders and to those who study the topic.
This volume brings together for the first time a detailed examination of the state of phonological theory in this decade. In a series of essays on topics as varied as underspecification theory, prosodic morphology, and syllable structure, 38 leading phonologists offer a critical survey of the guiding ideas that lie behind this active area of linguistic research. In all cases, the contributions have been written by leading researchers, and in many cases, the chapters of this Handbook are the first published expositions of new perspectives which have already begun to shape the climate of research in the field.
The Handbook of The History of Englishis a collection of articles written by leading specialists in the field that focus on the theoretical issues behind the facts of the changing English language. The innovative organization of this volume applies recent insights to old problems, and surveys the history of English from the perspective of structural developments in areas such as phonology, Posody morphology, syntax, semantics, language variation, and dialectology.
