{"product_id":"9781108701587","title":"Universal Semantic Syntax : A Semiotactic Approach (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSyntactic theory has been dominated in the last decades by theories that disregard semantics in their approach to syntax. Presenting a truly semantic approach to syntax, this book takes as its primary starting point the idea that syntax deals with the relations between meanings expressed by form-meaning elements and that the same types of relations can be found cross-linguistically. The theory provides a way to formalize the syntactic relations between meanings so that each fragment of grammar can be analyzed in a clear-cut way. A comprehensive introduction into the theoretical concepts of the theory is provided, with analyzes of numerous examples in English and various other languages, European and non-European, to illustrate the concepts. The theory discussed will enable linguists to look for similarities between languages, while at the same time acknowledging important language specific features.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48727510909163,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":86.06,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781108701587-1.jpg?v=1781655809","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781108701587","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
