Instruction Grammar : From Perception via Grammar to Action (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM] 293) (2015. XVIII, 530 S. 151 b/w ill., 19 b/w tbl. 230 mm)

§06§ §16§§Bringing together evidence from natural and social sciences, the work introduces the non-reductionist Instruction Grammar programme. Viewed from within the practicalities of the lifeworld, utterances are described as instructions to simulate perceptions and attributions for action. The approach provides solutions to long-standing philosophical problems of cognitive grammar theories and traditionally puzzling syntactic phenomena. § §02§§Simon Kasper, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Marburg, Germany.§
