Ray Jackendoff proposes a new holistic theory of the relation between the sounds, structure, and meaning of language and their relation to mind and brain. Foundations of Language exhibits the most fundamental new thinking in linguistics since Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax in 1965 -- yet is readable, stylish, and accessible to a wide readership. Along the way it provides new insightson the evolution of language, thought, and communication. 606 $aBiolinguistics 606 $aGenerative grammar 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aBiolinguistics. 615 0$aGenerative grammar. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a401 676 $a401.9 700 $aJackendoff$b Ray$f1945-$0191613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807641503321 996 $aFoundations of language$9144791 997 $aUNINA
