The Philosophy of Language and Its Significance for Marxis.~: I. The Study of Ideologies and Philosophy of Language; 2. Concerning the Relation of the Basis and Superstructures; ~. Philosophy of Language and Objective Psychology; Part II. Toward a Marxist Philo.~ophy of Language: I. Two Trends of Thought ir Philosophy of Language; 2.

Theory of Utte;~nc~ and the Problems of Syntax; 2. Exposition of the Problem o~ Reported Speech; 3. Indirect Discourse, Direct Discourse, and Their Modifications; 4. Quasi-Direct Discourse in French, German, and Russian. ~mong the questions dealt with in the first two parts of this book are inner speech, a dialectic of language, Saussurian doctrine and the Crocean trend, the relation that language bears to ideology and to general semiotics. The third part applies a 'sociological method' to problems of syntax and intersentential relations. 2.3.

semiotics

Akhmanova, Olga Optimization of Natural Communication Systems Janua Linguarum, Series Minor 92 Mouton, Den Haag 1977 vi + 116 pp. DM 38,00 ISBN 90 279 3146 1 Contents: Introduction; I. The Semiotics of Human Communication; II. The Logic of Natural Languages and the "Naturalness" of Logical Languages; III. Approaches to the Optimal Reduction of the Speech Signal; IV. On the Use of Computers in Linguistic Research The author tries to examine points of contact between the science of natural languages and 'interlinguistics', i.e. the science of artificial auxiliary languages. The hope is expressed that a semiotic approach of this type will contribute to making human natural speech more effective as a means of transmitting information, thus 'optimizing (its) intellectively communicative function'.

In this work the author discusses the d e s i r a b i l i t y of adopting a m o r p h o n o l o g y as a separate component or as a subcomponent of morphology or phonology. He states that a m o r p h o n o l o g i c a l component does does not exist and sketches alternative solutions for the d e s c r i p t i o n of phenomena that have been traditionally ascribed to morphonology. Besides internal evidence, he makes use of evidence from diachronics, language acquisition, and aphasia. L6on, P l e ~ e ; Burstynsky, Edward and Schogt, Henry ~honc:o~i_ee: I.

The author argues that any w o r d which a language permits to survive must make its semantic contribution, and that there is no difference An form without a d i f f e r e n c e in meaning. He examines several cases of English forms which have either been denied any meaning at all, or have been classed as v a r i a n t s of s o m e t h i n g else, concluding that c e r t a i n forms have a meaning from w h i c h certain aspects of syntax can be predicted, and not the reverse.

The state of the art and prospects for the future. The exposition of this book is argumentative rather than descriptive, since it aims not only to introduce the reader to topics of semantic theory and related areas in the philosophy of language, but also to show how arguments can be constructed in semantics. The author maintains that 'central-core' semantics is best approached by adopting a truth-based analysis, e x c l u d i n g situational concepts, and that this approach is compatible with componential analysis. The interpretive semal~tics view is argued for; a semantic concept of p r e s u p p o s i t i o n is rejected as having no role to play in natural-language semantics. 3.2.1.

He analyzes these problems through i n v e s t i g a t i o n of the phonological behavior of Dutch compound words° Finally, he examines the nature of various competence conditions p o s t u l a t e d as restricting the productivity of word f o r m a t i o n rules.

An important concern is with the practical problems of d e v e l o p i n g a methodology for d i s c o v e r i n g the structure of ur~written languages. The introduction and the first three chapters intrgduce the student to tagmemic theory's general principles~ which are seen as active in all nonverbal as well as language behavior. S u b s e q u e n t chapters provide technological instruction for analysis at the structural levels of clause, morpheme and word, and treat systematically the concept of contrast within tagmemic theory. Finally, the referential hierarchy is d i s c u s s e d as distinct from the grammatical hierarchy. Illustrative data and exercises with typical solutions are included for each chapter. 3.2.3.

Expression Rules: Case Markang; 8. The Order of Constitue~!ts; 9. A Language-Independent Preferred Order of Constituents; 10. Epilogue. In this study a functional approach to the description of natural languages is developed. Language is regarded as an instrument of social interaction, and the theory of functional grammar proposed by the author makes use of functions on the three levels of semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. It starts with the construction of abstract underlying predications on the basis of predicate-frames contained in the lexicon. Then these underlying predications are mapped onto linguistic expressions by means of expression rules that specify the form and order in which constituents with given functional and categorial properties can or must occur.

Word S t r u c t u r e (Phonology and Morphology); Part II. G r a m m a t i c a l S t r u c t u r e (Morphology and Syntax); Part III. Texts; Part IV. Dictionary. The goal of this work is to provide a complete d e s c r i p t i o n of two closely related Quechua dialects, those spoken in Tarma and San Pedro Cajas, located in the Andes of central Peru. It attempts to make the Tarma Q u e c h u a language facts accessible even to the non-linguist, within a general theoretical b a c k g r o u n d provided by current Prague Structuralism. As a consequence, the o r d , in addition to the sentence, is taken as the basic unit : the analysis. The book is completed by thirteen a n n o t a t e d texts and by a Q u e c h u a - E n g l l s h lexicon. Schiffman, Harold F. and Eastman, Carol M. (eds.)

This book contains a dictionary of the words which the Swedes borrowed in the Middle Ages from Dutch and Low German, to enrich their lexicon. The dictionary is preceded by an introduction in which the author sketches the contacts which led to the adoption of the loan words. In the appendices the etymology of certain words is studied. Samples of literary texts containing various loan words are given, as well as lists of obsolescent words and of the literary and other sources consulted by the author. 3.5. lexicography - etymology Schmitt, R~diger

M a c r o - s p e e c h acts. First, basic issues in the semantics of discourse are discussed. It is argued that coherence can be identified not only at the level of s e n U e n c e - s e q u e n c e s but also at a 'macro-structural' one, that of the topic of the entire text. Discourse is then analyzed in terms of sequences of speech acts. Wirrer, Jan (ed.)

Muysken~ Pieter C. Syntactic Developments in the Verb Phrase of Ecuadorian Quechua Peter de Ridder Press, Lisse 1977 212 pp. f30,00 ISBN 90 316 0151 9 Contents: I. Introduction; II. Ecuadorian Quechua: A Brief Sketch; III. Changes in the Ecuadorian Quechua Verbal Paradigm; IV. Complex V' Nodes in Ecuadorian Quechua; V. The Status of the Modal Suffixes in Quechua; VI. The Comparative in Ecuadorian Quechua; VII. Towards a Theory of Syntactic Change. This study of the development of the syntax of the verb phrase in the Quechua of Ecuador attempts in the first place to answer questicns posed in the field of diachronic syntax, presenting evidence for a theory in which surface structure reinterpretation is seen as an important process of syntactic change. In the second place, it aims to contribute to the body of knowledge of Quechua syntax, within the framework of generative grammar. The book's principal sources are Ecuador's contemporary Quechua dialects, but since its main focus is on linguistic variation and linguistic change, published material on earlier forms of Ecuadorian ~ e c h u a and on the Quechua dialects of Peru and of Bolivia is also used. 7.0. history of linguistics Christmann, Hans Helmut (ed.)
