  • Accounting for Variation in Language

    Open AccessEdith A Moravcsik, Edith MoravcsikARTICLEOpen Linguistics2019

    In this paper, variation is defined as a type having more than one subtype. Using twelve examples from linguistics, two kinds of accounts are identified: eliminating variants and motivating them. Eliminating variants means a subtype is promoted to a type. Motivating variation in turn involves acknowledging the existence of the variants and explaining their existence either by reference to their differing meanings or by identifying the different c…

  • Conflict resolution in syntactic theory

    Edith A MoravcsikARTICLEStudies in Language2010

    The paper investigates conflicts that arise in syntactic description and the resolutions of these conflicts. I will identify four logical possibilities of resolving conflicts and will cite examples from the syntactic literature for each. It will further be suggested that conflict resolution is a common goal of otherwise different linguistic theories in and outside syntax, and that it goes a long way towards motivating argumentation both in other …

  • Formulaic Language: Volume 1. Distribution and historical change

    Wis Linguistics Symposium Milwaukee, Roberta Corrigan et al.BOOKFormulaic language2009

    This book is the first of the two-volume collection of papers on formulaic language. The collection is among the first ones in the field. The book draws attention to the ritualized, repetitive side of language, which to some estimates make up over 50% of spoken and written text. While in the linguistic literature, the creative and innovative aspects of language have been amply highlighted, conventionalized, pre-fabricated, “off-the-shelf” express…

  • What is universal about typology

    Open AccessEdith A MoravcsikARTICLELinguistic Typology2007Cited by: 1References: 4

    The study of language typology has often been viewed as a rather special endeavor with few if any similarities to other pursuits within linguistics and outside it. Here are three such oppositions

  • A semantic analysis of associative plurals

    Edith A MoravcsikARTICLEStudies in Language2003

    The paper presents a general framework for the semantic analysis of nominal plural expressions and assigns a place among them to a lesser-known construction: associative plurals. Six parameters are proposed for identifying the meaning differences among nominal plural expressions. Within this framework, associative plurals are characterized as ranked group plurals that form a single paradigm with first and second person plural pronouns and incluso…

    The 23rd UWM Linguistics Symposium (1996) brought together linguists of opposing theoretical approaches — functionalists and formalists — in order to determine to what extent these approaches really differ from each other and to what extent the approaches complement each other. The two volumes of Functionalism and Formalism in Linguistics contain a careful selection of the papers originally presented at the symposium. Volume I includes papers dis…

  • Implicational Universals and Interrogative Structures in the Interlanguage of ESL Learners

    Open AccessFred R Eckman, Edith A Moravcsik et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning1989Cited by: 3References: 14

    The validity of two implicational universals regarding constituent order in questions is tested in the English speech of 14 native speakers of Japanese, Korean, and Turkish. The interlanguage evidence is found to be generally supportive of the two universals. Some fundamental methodological problems are discussed which are attendant upon testing universals not only in interlanguages but in linguistic systems of any kind
