    North-Holland Linguistic Series: Linguistic Variations

    By Elsevier Science

    ()

    About this series

    The present volume contains some selected topics of current interest around the world in the mathematical analysis of natural language. The book is divided into four sections:

    - analytical algebraic models

    - models from the theory of formal grammars and automata, with interest mainly in syntax

    - model-theoretic concepts in semantics or pragmatics, and

    - a final section containing some applications in computational linguistics.

    The varied perspectives illustrated in the book confirm that Mathematical Linguistics has finally introduced scientific methods into a previously fuzzy field, through the use of mathematical reasoning. The text will contribute to a fruitful convergence between linguists, mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, cognitive scientists and others interested in the formal treatment of natural language and the research of its properties.

      5/5 - 1 rating

      The book presents an interdisciplinary analysis of social, cognitive, situational and contextual aspects of language and language processing by first and second language speakers. Linguists and psychologists formulate theoretical models and empirical analyses of the influence of such factors on various levels of language processing. These relate specifically to syntactic and semantic parsing, lexical selection, and text production. The issue of ``hearer orientation'' in language use lies at the forefront of interest in this anthology and is tackled from such different fields as linguistics, text linguistics, formal semantics, social psychology, psychology of language, artificial intelligence, and second language acquisition.
