Sommario/riassunto |
|
Seven years ago Manfred Pienemann proposed a novel psycholinguistic theory of language development, Processability Theory (PT). This volume examines the typological plausibility of PT. Focusing on the acquisition of Arabic, Chinese and Japanese the authors demonstrate the capacity of PT to make detailed and verifiable predictions about the developmental schedule for each language. This cross-linguistic |

|
|
perspective is also applied to the study of L1 transfer by comparing the impact of processability and typological proximity. The typological perspective is extended by including a comparison of different types of language acquisition. The architecture of PT is expanded by the addition of a second set of principles that contributes to the formal modeling of levels of processability, namely the mapping of argument-structure onto functional structure in lexical mapping theory. This step yields the inclusion of a range of additional phenomena in the processability hierarchy thus widening the scope of PT. |

This articulate and authoritative survey of both the popular and academic trends in anthropology demonstrates the broad relevance of anthropological knowledge and argues for a more inclusive conception of the discipline that engages the public imagination. Demonstrates the evolving social contexts of British anthropological theory and practice from the mid-19th centuryHighlights the importance of popular anthropology in forming and sustaining the professional disciplineExplores the past and present cross-fertilization of anthropologists, scientists and prominent |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book outlines how the physiology of human mastication is the product of an evolutionary development that has its roots in that of the primates that were our ancestors and, even earlier, in that of mammals. In order to understand deeply who we are, we must know where we come from. This book therefore highlights, in a truly interdisciplinary fashion, how dentistry and paleoanthropology often intersect and how knowledge about both these subjects overlap. By laying anatomical-functional foundations of our oral system, combining dental and paleoanthropological knowledge, this book offers great value to students and scholars of both disciplines. |
