He explains the motivation of the generative framework, describes its mechanisms, and addresses issues of broad philosophical interest, for instance the ontology of linguistics, the nature of data, language/world relations, and best theory criteria.Generative grammarPhilosophyElectronic books.Generative grammarPhilosophy.415.0182Ludlow Peter1957-950339MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459607403321The philosophy of generative linguistics2250192UNINA
