Abstract
The goal of this course is to introduce you to methods of linguistic research. Specifically, we will examine the following approaches: 1. Formal, grammatical principles 2. Universal principles 3. Pragmatic, communicative principles 4. Experimental evidence 5. Corpus study 6. Descriptive approaches We will show how a linguistic problem can be attacked from any one of these directions, or a combination thereof. As a test case, we will look at accounts of the meaning of superlative quantifiers (at least and at most).
期刊介绍:
Word & Image concerns itself with the study of the encounters, dialogues and mutual collaboration (or hostility) between verbal and visual languages, one of the prime areas of humanistic criticism. Word & Image provides a forum for articles that focus exclusively on this special study of the relations between words and images. Themed issues are considered occasionally on their merits.
