Current Studies in Spanish Linguistics

by Héctor Campos (Editor), Fernando Martínez-Gil (Editor)

Overview

In this invited volume, experts in Spanish linguistics who subscribe to the Chomskyian thory of Universal Grammar, along with the editors, approach the general applicability of this model from the perspectives of their subdisciplines: language acquisition, syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology. Their research points to the verification of the Chomskyian linguistic theory as a general framework for explaining phenomena in language acquistion and use—and, more generally, to the possible development of a model of mind based on linguistic theory. Current Studies in Spanish Linguistics will interest all specialists in Spanish and theoretical linguistics, as well as those interested in cognitive science, psychology, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence.

State-of-the-art findings on three major hormones: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and its related gene product CGRP, and hormonal metabolites of Vitamin D. Novel methods, important unsolved problems, unique hypotheses, and new technical advances are presented. A collection of the most recent research conducted by leading experts in Spanish linguistics who subscribe to the Chomskyan theory of Universal Grammar. Contributing authors approach the problem of testing the general applicability of this revolutionary model for the organization of grammatical knowledge from the various perspectives of their subdisciplines: language acquisition, syntax and semantics, phonology and morphology.
