John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007. Hardcover. New. This third volume on Missionary Linguistics focuses on morphology and syntax. It contains a selection of papers derived from the international conferences on missionary linguistics held in Hong Kong/Macau and Valladolid. As with the previous two volumes (2004, on general issues, and 2005, on orthography and phonology), this volume looks at methodology and descriptive techniques from a historical point of view, offering articles of interest to historiographers of linguistics, typologists, and descriptive linguists. It presents research into languages such as Tarasco (Purépecha), Massachusett, Nahuatl, Conivo, Sipibo, Guaraní, Vietnamese, Tamil, Southern Min Chinese dialects, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Tagalog and other Austronesian languages, such as Yapese and Chamorro.

History of linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007, 6, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007. Hardcover. New. This volume contains 22 revised papers originally presented at the 17th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, held August 2005 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. The papers cover a broad range of languages, including well-studied languages of Europe but also Aramaic, Zoque and Uto-Aztecan, Japanese and Korean, Afrikaans, and the Pilbara languages of Australia. The theoretical approaches taken are equally diverse, often bringing together aspects of formal and functional theories in a single contribution. Many of the chapters provide fresh data, including several drawing on data from electronic corpora. Topics range from traditional comparative reconstruction to prosodic change and the role of processing in syntactic change. Printed Pages: xviii, 240 pp. Printed Pages: 0.

Historical linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007, 6, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007. Hardcover. New. As each period in the history of the language sciences has chosen to focus on different key questions, the study of that history promises to open our eyes to the variety of interesting questions that can be asked, and answered taking off the blinders of contemporary preoccupations. September 15, 2005, linguists from twenty-five countries gathered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to share their passion for the history of their discipline. This volume is a distillation of many fine contributions from that conference, shedding light on the many different approaches to the study of language. Printed Pages: v, 140 pp. Printed Pages: 0.

In 1959, Gaifman proved that category grammars were the equivalents of phrasal grammars, so much so that they could never have the expressive power for representing the complexity of natural languages. As a consequence, no new category model was proposed for more than thirty years. Nevertheless, we are now witnessing a renaissance of the category perspective, which makes up the main syntactic current of study in formal linguistics. But the problem, which this article proposes to examine, is that contemporary category grammars continue to be subject to the limitations of Gaifman's proof, since the increasingly complex formalisms that underlie them paradoxically elaborate according to the Lambeck syntactic calculus (1958) whose expressive power is limited to that of context-free grammars. What sense is there in refining a model that has at its core a theory that is inappropriate for representing natural language?
