A aquisição de língua materna e não materna Freitas, Maria João; Santos, Ana Lúcia The present volume is an introduction to the study of Language Acquisition, especially centered on Portuguese. Even though the different chapters always take Portuguese as a point of departure, a comparative perspective is assumed and Portuguese data is compared to data from other languages, when relevant. This book aims at filling a gap in the literature: an introductory textbook to be used by students of Language Acquisition in Portuguese-speaking countries. The book is composed by chapters authored by several Portuguese and Brazilian researchers and it presents in textbook format a relevant part of the research results obtained during the last decades. The book starts with a general historical presentation of the field. The following chapters explore the acquisition of phonology and syntax and consider the problem of typical and atypical development, as well as linguistic assessment. Bilingualism and L2 acquisition are the topics of two independent chapters. Two final chapters discuss the development of linguistic awareness, in relation to the acquisition of writing.; O presente volume é uma introdução ao estudo da aquisição e desenvolvimento linguísticos. Embora especialmente dedicado à aquisição do português como língua materna e não materna, assume uma perspetiva comparada, confrontando dados da aquisição desta língua com os disponíveis para outras línguas do mundo. Surge na sequência da necessidade de um livro de carácter introdutório de apoio à atividade pedagógica nesta área do saber, suprindo uma lacuna há muito sentida por docentes e discentes. Integra capítulos da autoria de vários especialistas portugueses e brasileiros, o que permitiu compilar uma parte substancial do trabalho de investigação sobre aquisição do português desenvolvido nas últimas décadas, em formato de texto de divulgação de fácil acesso. Começando com uma panorâmica histórica das questões centrais colocadas, no último século, sobre a aquisição das línguas naturais, o volume explora vários domínios da aquisição (particularmente, a fonologia e a sintaxe) e considera o desenvolvimento típico e atípico, bem como o problema da avaliação linguística. O bilinguismo e a aquisição de uma L2 são o tema de dois capítulos independentes. Finalmente, relaciona-se o desenvolvimento do conhecimento implícito com o do conhecimento metalinguístico e com a aprendizagem da escrita.

A history of English Hejná, Míša; Walkden, George Where does today’s English language come from? This book takes its readers on a journey back in time, from present-day varieties to the Old English of Beowulf and beyond. Written for students with little or no background in linguistics, and reflecting the latest scholarship, it showcases the variation and change present throughout the history of English, and includes numerous exercises and sample texts for every period. The reverse-chronological approach taken by this book sets it apart from all existing textbooks of the last fifty years. Innovative features also include its focus on variation, multilingualism and language contact, its use of texts from outside the literary canon, and its inclusion of case studies from syntax, sociophonetics and historical pragmatics.

Analyzing meaning Kroeger, Paul This book provides an introduction to the study of meaning in human language, from a linguistic perspective. It covers a fairly broad range of topics, including lexical semantics, compositional semantics, and pragmatics. The chapters are organized into six units: (1) Foundational concepts; (2) Word meanings; (3) Implicature (including indirect speech acts); (4) Compositional semantics; (5) Modals, conditionals, and causation; (6) Tense & aspect. Most of the chapters include exercises which can be used for class discussion and/or homework assignments, and each chapter contains references for additional reading on the topics covered. As the title indicates, this book is truly an INTRODUCTION: it provides a solid foundation which will prepare students to take more advanced and specialized courses in semantics and/or pragmatics. It is also intended as a reference for fieldworkers doing primary research on under-documented languages, to help them write grammatical descriptions that deal carefully and clearly with semantic issues. The approach adopted here is largely descriptive and non-formal (or, in some places, semi-formal), although some basic logical notation is introduced. The book is written at level which should be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. It presupposes some previous coursework in linguistics, but does not presuppose any background in formal logic or set theory.
