The papers presented in this volume are also concerned with language variation understood in this way. Their goals, however, do not strictly fall under the rubric of comparative syntax, but form part of what is more properly thought of as a comparative semantics. Semantics, in its broadest sense, is concerned with how linguistic structures are associated with their truth-conditions. A comparative semantics, therefore, is concerned with whether this association can vary from language to language, and if so, what is the cause of this variation. Taking comparative semantics in this way places certain inherent limitations on the search for the sources of variability. This is because the semantic notion of truth is universal, and does not vary from language to language: Sentences either do or do not accurately characterize what the | 出版日期 | Book 1992 | 關鍵詞 | Syntax; comparative; grammar; pronouns; semantic; semantics; syntactic | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-3472-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-7923-1636-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-3472-9Series ISSN 0924-4662 Series E-ISSN 2215-034X | issn_series | 0924-4662 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1992 |
