Sobre aquest llibre

This book is a sequel to Geoffrey Sampson’s well-received textbook Schools of Linguistics. Linguistics changed around the millennium; the advent of cheap air travel and the internet meant that geographical distance ceased to be a barrier to scholarly interaction, so new developments are no longer grouped into separate “schools” located in different places. Consequently, the best way to show how linguistics is flowering in our time is through a sampler displaying individual examples of recent advances. Sampson offers such a sampler, describing two dozen of the most interesting innovations in the subject to have emerged in the present century. And he includes a few looks back at how the approaches described in Schools of Linguistics panned out in the closing years of the old century, before they evolved into—or made way for—today’s more realistic and more diverse linguistics.

Sobre l'autor

Geoffrey Sampson graduated in Oriental Studies from Cambridge University, UK. After completing his graduate study in linguistics and informatics at Yale University, USA, and a research fellowship at Queen’s College, Oxford, UK, he held teaching appointments at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and other British institutions, interspersed with sabbaticals at universities in Switzerland and South Africa and secondments to industrial research. After retiring from his chair at Sussex University, UK, where he had headed its AI department, he spent several years as research fellow in linguistics at the University of South Africa. Sampson has published books and articles on most branches of linguistics, as well as on literary, political, and philosophical subjects; he is particularly known for identifying the fallacies in Noam Chomsky’s theories. Sampson’s books include Schools of Linguistics (1980), The “Language Instinct” Debate (revised edition 2005), Writing Systems (second edition 2015), and Voices from Early China (2020).
