| Summary: | "Language and Reality presents selected writings of Professor Sydney Lamb, including five new works and several which have been re-worked for publication here. Professor Lamb's work in linguistics over the past four decades has been concerned with exposing illusions about language and with finding realities, including neurological realities, behind the linguistic abstractions that others have dwelt upon. His name is synonymous with certain landmarks in the development of linguistic theory, including stratificational grammar, relational network theory and more recently, neurocognitive linguistics. Although he is a leading figure in linguistic science, many of the papers included here are far from well-known, some of them having appeared in more obscure venues of publication and for the most part, unavailable to the wider linguistic community."--BOOK JACKET. |
