Cognitive Phonology in Construction Grammar

Analytic Tools for Students of English.

This accessible textbook analyzes some central phenomena of the sound system of standard Southern British English and General American in the framework of Cognitive Linguistics and Construction Grammar. The sound patterns are examined from the point of view of the central function of language, that is, the expression of meaning. The topics covered range from articulatory phonetics and the more abstract phonological systems to word stress and intonation. XI,271 Seiten mit einigen Grafiken, broschiert (Mouton Textbook.
