【书名】：The Emergence of Functions in Language

【作者】：Rui P. Chaves, Michael T. Putnam

【年份】：2020年

【出版社】：牛津大学出版社

【简介】：【团购资源，40/人】语言功能研究的一本理论性专著，值得一看

This volume explores the question of why languages - even those spoken in the same geographical area by people who share similar social structures, occupations, and religious beliefs - differ in the meanings expressed by their grammatical systems. Zygmunt Frajzyngier and Marielle Butters outline a new methodology to explore these differences, and to discover the motivations behind the emergence of meanings. The motivations that they identify include: the communicative need triggered when the grammatical system inherently produces ambiguities; the principle of functional transparency; the opportunistic emergence of meaning, whereby unoccupied formal niches acquire a new function; metonymic emergence, whereby a property of an existing function receives a formal means of its own, thus creating a new function; and the emergence of functions through language contact. The book offers new analyses of a range of phenomena across different languages, such as benefactives and progressives in English, and point of view of the subject and goal orientation in Chadic languages. It also draws on a wealth of data from other languages including French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and a variety of less familiar Sino-Russian idiolects.

【书名】：The Bilingual Brain: And What It Tells Us about the Science of Language

【作者】：Albert Costa; John W. Schwieter

【出版社】：Penguin Books Ltd

【年份】：2019年

【简介】：The definitive study of bilingualism and the human brain from a leading neuropsychologist

How do two languages exist in the same brain? Why is it possible for the brain to forget a language? How does bilingualism sculpt the brain?

Over half of the world's population is bilingual and yet this fascinating, complex ability of the human brain is understood by few. In The Bilingual Brain, leading expert Albert Costa explores the science of language through a wide range of cutting-edge studies and examples from South Korea to Spain to Canada.

Looking at the development of the brain from infancy to old age, Costa shows us the impact of bilingualism on everyday life: from a bilingual's ability to multitask and make decisions to the way in which they interact with those around them. An absorbing examination of an extraordinary skill, The Bilingual Brain leaves us all with a sense of wonder at how language really works.
