In A Synopsis of English Syntax, Nida defines the purpose of his analysis of English, syntax as "(1) to demonstrate the application of descriptive techniques to the problems of syntax in the writer's own speech, and (2) to show in outline form the broad patterns of the language, indicating the tagmeme structure as based on the taxemes of order, selection, modulation, and phonetic change."
Events, Arguments, and Aspects: Topics in the Semantics of Verbs (2014)
The verb has often been considered the 'center' of the sentence and has hence always attracted the special attention of the linguist. The present volume collects novel approaches to two classical topics within verbal semantics, namely argument structure and the treatment of time and aspect.
English grammar is the body of rules that describe the structure of expressions in the English language. This includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences.
This volume contains revised, expanded and updated versions of papers originally presented at the International Workshop on Phonological Structure held at the University of Durham in September 1994. As the title suggests, the contributions focus on aspects of phonological structure, both segment internal and suprasegmental. A number of questions surrounding phonological structure are approached from a wide variety of theoretical standpoints, including the frameworks of prosodic phonology, declarative phonology, optimality theory, metrical phonology, government phonology, feature geometry, particle theory and dependency phonology.
