The role of the lie in the evolution of human language
The Social Origins of Language
Whereas Noam Chomsky views language as an internal faculty fitted to the requirements of private thought, this volume views it as designed essentially for communication between two or more speakers. In language, we formulate our thoughts for others and hence for ourselves. The system, in its diverse forms, resides and develops at the level of the community, and is acquired by individuals as part of their socialization. Focusing on language in its…
Social Origins of Language
The Evolution of Human Language
The way language as a human faculty has evolved is a question that preoccupies researchers from a wide spread of disciplines. In this book, a team of writers has been brought together to examine the evolution of language from a variety of such standpoints, including language's genetic basis, the anthropological context of its appearance, its formal structure, its relation to systems of cognition and thought, as well as its possible evolutionary a…
Is There Anything We Might Call Dissent in Israel? (And, If There Is, Why Isn't There)
Toward a Semantic Account of that-Deletion in English
The phenomenon of that-deletion in English has traditionally been taken to be one of the prime examples of syntactic free variation: it has implicitly been assumed that the language arbitrarily allows predicates to embed their propositional complements with the complementizer that (as that-clauses), or without it (as bare clauses). Different researchers, however, have demonstrated that the complementizer CANNOT be deleted under certain classes of…
From Englishization to Imposed Multilingualism
Daniel Dor teaches in the Department of Communication at Tel Aviv University. His research interests include the linguistic consequences of globalization, the role of the media in the construction of political hegemony, and the cultural-biological evolution of language. He is the author of Intifada Hits the Headlines: How the Israeli Press Misreported the Outbreak of the Second Palestinian Uprising (2003
On newspaper headlines as relevance optimizers
From the autonomy of syntax to the autonomy of linguistic semantics
Current research on the syntax-semantics interface demonstrates the dramatic extent to which syntactic structures constitute transparent reflections of well-defined semantic regularities. As this paper shows, the empirical results accumulated within this framework strongly suggest that a theoretical distinction should be made between two distinct levels of meaning representation: A level of conceptual meaning on the one hand, and a uniquely lingu…
From Symbolic Forms to Lexical Semantics
The Argument Ernst Cassirer's theory of language as a symbolic form, one of the richest and most insightful philosophies of language of the twentieth century, went virtually unnoticed in the mainstreams of modern linguistics. This was so for what seems to be a good metatheoretical reason: Cassirer insisted on the constitutive role of meaning in the explanation of linguistic phenomena, a position which was explicitly rejected by both American Stru…
