Reviews"The Logic of Markedness is a good book to have around; it provides historical grounding for the concepts disclosed, placing them in a large, theoretical setting."--English Language Notes, " The Logic of Markedness is a good book to have around; it provides historical grounding for the concepts disclosed, placing them in a large, theoretical setting."-- English Language Notes, "The Logic of Markedness is a good book to have around; it provides historical grounding for the concepts disclosed, placing them in a large, theoretical setting."--English Language Notes"...his mission here is to untangle some of the crossed wires in the concept, and thereby make evident what is useful, what is not, and why it is the way it is in various authors' works. For the Jakobsonian and Chomskyan traditions he tackles, he does an admirable job of getting to the many hearts of markedness."--Studies in the Linguistic Sciences"The Logic of Markedness is a good book to have around; it provides historical grounding for the concepts disclosed, placing them in a large, theoretical setting."--English Language Notes, "The Logic of Markednessis a good book to have around; it provides historical grounding for the concepts disclosed, placing them in a large, theoretical setting."--English Language Notes, "...his mission here is to untangle some of the crossed wires in theconcept, and thereby make evident what is useful, what is not, and why it is theway it is in various authors' works.

SynopsisTheories of language espoused by linguists during much of this century have assumed that there is a hierarchy to the elements of language such that certain constructions, rules, and features are unmarked while others are marked; "play" for example, is unmarked or neutral, while "played" or "player" is marked. This opposition, referred to as markedness, is one of the concepts which both Chomskyan generative grammar and Jakobsonianstructuralism appear to share, yet which each tradition has treated differently. Battistella studies the historical development of the concept of markedness in the Prague School structuralism of Roman Jakobson,its importation into generative linguistics, and its subsequent development within Chomsky's "principles and parameters" framework. He traces how structuralist and generative linguistics have drawn on and expanded the notion of markedness, both as a means of characterizing linguistic constructs and as a theory of the innate language faculty., Theories of language espoused by linguists during much of this century have assumed that there is a hierarchy to the elements of language such that certain constructions, rules, and features are unmarked while others are marked; "play" for example, is unmarked or neutral, while "played" or "player" is marked.

Very good on its specialised topic.
It is a medium length academic book focussed on a narrow but important specialist linguistics topic of "markedness". It treats this topic historically using accurate and insightful technical language to do so.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
