Language, Mind And Brain: Some Psychological And Neurological Constraints On Theories Of Grammar

Human languages reside in human brains, and it is undeniable that properties of the mind/brain place strong constraints on linguistic structure. Yet most linguists know little about the psychology of language and even less about its neural substrate. Language, Mind and Brain explores theseconstraints and shows how linguistics could benefit by incorporating insights from research on language acquisition, language processing, neurolinguistics and other disciplines concerned with human linguistic abilities.The first part of the book offers a useful introduction to the relevant issues for readers with little prior knowledge of these disciplines. In the second part, the cognitive underpinnings of language are discussed in more detail in three case studies chosen to illuminate complementary aspects oflinguistic structure (the semantics of locative terms, morphological rules, the syntax of English questions). The final chapter is devoted to approaches to language which meet the requirements outlined earlier, with particular prominence given to cognitive and construction grammar.

Language, Mind and Brain: Some Psychological and Neurological Constraints on Theories of Grammar

Most language acquisition researchers assume, either implicitly or explicitly, that all first language learners converge on the same grammar. This outcome contrasts sharply with the outcome of L2 acquisition, which is characterized by large individual differences, particularly in adult learners. Futhermore, adult learners rarely, if ever, attain native-like competence. In this issue, eminent scholars from both first and second language acquisition investigate potential causes of individual differences in ultimate attainment. In doing so, they challenge the concept of nativeness and the role of the native speaker in ultimate attainment, they provide further insight into how cognitive ability affects acquisition and attainment, and they problematize the role of time and temporal grainsize in studying ultimate attainment. Taken together, the work presented in this issue provides expectations and lays out the challenges before us on the road to understanding the caues of individual differences in ultimate attainment.

Language, Mind and Brain is a delightfully readable, yet erudite exploration of how the human mind processes and orders sounds and words into meaning. It explores how properties of the human mind/brain constrain linguistic structure and how linguistics can benefit by combining traditional linguistic methodologies with insights from research on language acquisition, processing, and impairment. The first part of the book offers a useful introduction to the relevant issues for readers with little prior knowledge of these disciplines; part two addresses such key issues as the status of rules, the relationship between grammar and the lexicon, and the relationship between innate structure and acquired knowledge. Fascinating for anyone interested in the intricacies of how language is acquired and how the brain sorts sounds into communication.

Drawing on the conceptual apparatus of cognitive grammar, this text aims to bring order into the array of uses by providing a unified semantic characterization of the dative case which subsumes both "lexically governed" and "free" datives.

Michalineum

Jest to cykl konferencji dr E. Dabrowskiej na temat zasad zdrowego zywienia i leczenia chorób postem. W ksiazeczce znajdziemy takze przepisy diet warzywno-owocowych i sposobów wykonywania potraw. Autorka pisze: ,,Czesto jedynym ratunkiem wspólczesnego czlowieka jest czasowe powstrzymywanie sie od jedzenia czyli post. Oto kilka odmian postu: zupelny (na wodzie), sokowy, warzywno-owocowy lub post na chlebie i wodzie. Wspólna cecha postów jest niedostateczne odzywianie zewnetrzne, co uruchamia zastepcze odzywianie wewnetrzne. Wówczas organizm samoistnie przywraca utracone zdrowie. Ta zdolnosc organizmu do samoleczenia znana w zamierzchlych czasach jako ,,vis medicatrix naturae" (lecznicza sila natury) i wiadomo bylo, ze wlasny ,,lekarz wewnetrzny" - to najlepszy lekarz".
