Produktbeschreibung

Anaphora is the study of referential relationships in language. Given the great flowering of the study of this topic in the last decade, it is time for a book that reports on the major results of recent research and sets the stage for further inquiry. The authors represented in Anaphora: A Reference Guide are among the world's leading researchers on anaphora and are ideally suited to meet this goal. Their work draws on theoretical principles and methodologies in linguistics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy, as well as the integrated, broad perspective of cognitive science. These stimulating reports of cutting-edge research will be useful to both undergraduate and graduate students and will find a large audience among professional researchers of anaphora and scholars who want to catch up on what is new and exciting in the area.

'This is an outstanding book. Relating linguistics toother cognitive domains in a non-trivial way, it clearly addressesan impressive number of issues important for our understanding ofthe design and nature of language.' Pierre Pica, CentreNational de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris, France

"Andrew Narss has done Linguistics and its related fields a goodservice by putting together a collection of papers that address anumber of important issues in the study of anaphora. The majorselling point of the book under considersation is two fold. Firstthe articles contained in the volume are of high quality ...Secondly, the book represents a welcome attempt to relatelinguistics to cognitive science, thus helping to shed new light onour quest to attain a better understanding of human cognition ...the book deserves to be read by anyone who is seriously interestedin the study of anaphora."
