How language can be beautiful; Epilogue; Index.  a"The extent to which language is inseparable from thought has long been a major subject of debate across linguistics, psychology, philosophy and other disciplines. In this study, Wallace Chafe presents a thought-based theory of language that goes beyond traditional views that semantics, syntax, and sounds are sufficient to account for language design. Language begins with thoughts in the mind of a speaker and ends by affecting thoughts in the mind of a listener. This obvious observation is seldom incorporated in descriptions of language design for two major reasons. First, the role of thought is usually usurped by semantics. But semantic structures are imposed on thought by languages and differ from one language to another. Second, thought does not lend itself to familiar methods of linguistic analysis. Chafe suggests ways of describing thoughts, traces the path languages follow from thoughts to sounds, and explores ways in which thoughts are oriented in time, memory, imagination, reality, and emotions"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCognitive grammar. 0aAuditory perception. 0aLanguage acquisition. 0aPsychlinguistics.  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccSTS  00102ddc4070835/4aAIISHbAIISHd2019-09-13l1o410 CHAp21905r2022-03-28 00:00:00s2022-03-14w2019-09-13ySTS
