Elucidates the relation between quantifiers in formal logic and quantifiers in natural language.

The Early Modern English period (c. 1500-1800) - in many respects the most formative time-span in the history of English - is now increasingly attracting the attention of English language scholars. The aim of the present volume is to make easily available to the scholarly public of today some essential linguistic research carried out on that period. The volume includes an Introduction and 30 reprinted articles published between 1944 and 1994. Both British and American English are discussed. The Introduction takes up issues relevant to the delimitation of the concept «Early Modern English», primarily in terms of systemic stability and standardisation. Information on relevant background reading and on computerized collections of Early Modern English texts, literary and non-literary, is also supplied.

This volume constitutes the first in-depth, systematic study of varieties of headless relative clauses in fifteen languages from five language families, all Mesoamerican languages spoken in Mexico and Guatemala and one Chibchan language spoken in Honduras. Headless relative clauses are clauses that often resemble interrogative clauses or headed relative clauses in their morpho-syntactic shape, but whose meaning brings them close to nominal constructions. For the vastmajority of the languages in this volume, many of which are endangered and all of which are understudied, the work presented here represents the only published material on the subject.

This volume brings together cutting-edge experimental research from leaders in the fields of linguistics and psycholinguistics to explore the nature of a phenomenon that has long been central to syntactic theory - 'island effects'. The chapters in this volume draw upon recent methodological advances in experimental methods in syntax, also known as 'experimental syntax', to investigate the underlying cognitive mechanisms that give rise to island effects. This volume presents a comprehensive empirical review of a contemporary debate in the field by including contributions from researchers representing a variety of points of view on the nature of island effects. This book is ideal for students and researchers interested in cutting-edge experimental techniques in linguistics, psycholinguistics and psychology.
