Language change / Jean Aitchison

Public ISBD Titre : Language change : Progress or decay ؟ Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jean Aitchison, Auteur Mention d'édition : Third edition Editeur : Cambridge : university press Année de publication : 2001 Importance : 312 P. Format : 20*13 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-79535-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language  meaning  word  grammar. Index. décimale : 421 Résumé : This is a lucid and up-to-date overview of language change. It discusses where our evidence about language change comes from, how and why changes happen, and how languages begin and end. It considers both changes which occurred long ago, and those currently in progress. It does this within the framework of one central question - is language change a symptom of progress or decay? It concludes that language is neither progressing nor decaying, but that an understanding of the factors surrounding change is essential for anyone concerned about language alteration. For this substantially revised third edition, Jean Aitchison has included two new chapters on change of meaning and grammaticalization. Sections on new methods of reconstruction and ongoing chain shifts in Britain and America have also been added as well as over 150 new references. The work remains non-technical in style and accessible to readers with no previous knowledge of linguistics .

The seeds of speech language origin and evolution / Jean Aitchison

Public ISBD Titre : The seeds of speech language origin and evolution Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jean Aitchison, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge : university press Année de publication : 1996 Importance : 282 P. Format : 22*14 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-78571-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : speech  puzzle  origin  evolution  diffusion. Index. décimale : 421 Résumé : Human language is a weird communication system: it has more in common with birdsong than with the calls of other primates. In this wide-ranging and accessible overview, first published in 2000, Jean Aitchison explores the origins of human language and how it has evolved. She likens the search to a vast pre-historic jigsaw puzzle, in which numerous fragments of evidence must be assembled. Such evidence is pieced together from a mixture of linguistic and non-linguistic sources like evolution theory, archaeology, psychology, and anthropology. She explains why language is so strange, outlines recent theories about its origin, and discusses possible paths of evolution. Finally, Jean Aitchison considers what holds all languages together and prevents them from becoming unlearnably different from one another. The Seeds of Speech is a fascinating book that will appeal to everyone who is interested in the origins and evolution of human language, including linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, archaeologists, and the general reader.
