Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the question of whether there are universal properties shared by all or many human languages and how such properties can be discovered. The author's approach is inductive: we can never be sure we have all the facts about all the world's languages, but we can still look for recurring features in the languages we do know. Such recurring features may help us to define language itself and to see the common ground shared by all human communicative systems, spoken and written. A survey of the major design features found in every language so far studied reveals that all languages have openness, displacement, duality, semanticity, discreteness, and other properties not shared by other animal languages. The author then presents several generalizations about grammar and phonology with the aim of uncovering language-independent properties of human communication. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330308653_0
