Aleksej GLADKIJ / Igor A MEL'CUK Elements of Mathematical Linquistics (Janus Linquarum - Series Maior; 110) Mouton/De Gruyter, Berlin/New York/Amsterdam, 1983 xxi + 247~~. DM 109,OO ISBN 90 279 3118 6 Contents: l/The concept 'mathematical linguistics' -preliminary remarks Z/Formal grammars 3/Glasses of qenerative grammars 4/ Generative grammars and natural languages- S/Some formal properties of generative grammars 6/Same other concepts and problems of mathematical linguistics. SUPPLEMENTS I/Tree grammars: A formalism for syntactic transformations in natural languages (A V Gladkij & I A Mel'euk) II/Toward a formal definition of grammatical case and gender of nouns (AVGladkij) III/Toward a linguistic Meaning-Text model. Taking as their starting point the concept of language as an effective function which maps meanings onto texts andviceversa, and the study of this function as constituting the discipline of mathematical linguistics, the authors provide an account of how mathematics is involved in the meaning-text relation. Because the authors see Noam Chomsky as the founder of mathematical linguistics, a significant part of their monograph is devoted to a study of the theory of Chomsky's formal grammars, with strong emphasis on the linguistic aspects of the phenomena described. The book was published originally in Russian, under the title "Elementy matematiceskoj lingvistik" (Nauka,Moscow, 1969).

This book aims to support the view that grammatical relations are not primitives, but notions which are defined in terms of hierarchical relations. It proposes solutions for some of the problems which this view poses for generative grammar, proposals which ultimately lead to a new definition of transitivity - one that differs significantly from traditionalviewsofthis feature, and that makes it possible to regard passive as a rule mapping members of the transitive class into the class of intransitives.

In research on conversation there has been a tendency to separate the social, psychological and linguistic strands, and to separate verbal and non-verbal behaviour. The author of this book attempts to move towards a synthesis where all these are treated together.

Ann M PETERS The Units of Language Acquisition (Cambridge Monographs and Texts in Applied Linguistics) Cambridge University Press, Cambridge UK, 1983 xii + 131~~. ISBN 0 521 25810 3 f 6.95 Contents: l/Units of speech Z/The initial extraction problem and the one-unit stage )/The seqmentation of extracted units 4/The role of units in production -5/Conclusions and implications.' The first task of children learning a language is to discover the basic building blocks. Previous work in language acquisition has assumed that a child's words will be at the same level as an adult's. The thesis defended in this volume is that children's

first "words" may not always be congruent with adult expectations they may be longer or shorter. Hence the term "units". Within this theoretical frame the author addresses the following questions: How are these units discovered by children at different stages? What factors are involved in the discovery process? What is the theoretical importance of such an approach to analysis?
