An argument for replacing Chomsky’s set-theoretic Merge view of syntax with a theory of syntax based on mereological objects. Mereology is the study of parthood—what it means for one thing to be part of another. David Adger argues that a theory of syntax based on mereological objects should replace Chomsky’s set-theoretic Merge view of syntax. He shows how this new perspective solves some of the problems that have bedeviled minimalism, while opening a path to a unified approach to islands, on

This Element explores the gendered dimensions of the ways language used to describe, define, and diagnose pregnancy loss impacts experiences of receiving and delivering healthcare in a UK context. It situates experiences of pregnancy loss language against the backdrop of gender role expectations, ideological tensions around reproductive choice, and medical misogyny; asking how language both reflects and influences contemporary gender norms and understandings of maternal responsibility. To do thi

Half a century ago, Noam Chomsky posited that humans have specific innate mental abilities to learn and use language, distinct from other animals. This book, a follow-up to the author's previous textbook, A Mind for Language, continues to critically examine the development of this central aspect of linguistics: the innateness debate. It expands upon key themes in the debate - discussing arguments that come from other disciplines, such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, criminology, computer

Workshop Description: Many indigenous languages currently face endangerment. Language shift involves not only social practices of bi/multilingualism with a dominant language(s), but also impact on the structure of an endangered language itself. Specifically, it can lead to great variation and significant changes in its phonetics and morphosyntax (cf. Dorian 1981; 1989; 2010; Schmidt 1985; Grinevald & Bert 2011; Stanford & Preston 2009; Hildebrandt et al. 2017). The workshop aims to consider
