Meaning and the Lexicon(1st Edition) The Parallel Architecture 1975-2010 by RayJackendoff Hardcover, 504 Pages, Published 2010 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-956887-1, ISBN: 0-19-956887-1
"Meaning and the Lexicon brings together 35 years of pathbreaking work on language by Ray Jackendoff. It traces the development of his Parallel Architecture, in which phonology, syntax, and semantics are independent generative components, and in which knowledge of language consists of a repertoire of stored structures. Some of these structures, such as words and morphemes, are idiosyncratic mappings between phonology, syntax, and meanin ..."

"In this volume, Ray Jackendoff and Jenny Audring embark on a major reconceptualization of linguistic theory as seen through the lens of morphology. Their approach, Relational Morphology, extends the Parallel Architecture developed by Jackendoff in Foundations of Language (2002), Simpler Syntax (2005), and Meaning and the Lexicon (2010). The framework integrates morphology into the overall architecture of language, enabling it to interac ..."

definition of a monad: 'A monad is that bec ..."

"This groundbreaking book offers a new and compelling perspective on the structure of human language. The fundamental issue it addresses is the proper balance between syntax and semantics, between structure and derivation, and between rule systems and lexicon. It argues that the balance struck by mainstream generative grammar is wrong. It puts forward a new basis for syntactic theory, drawing on a wide range of frameworks, and charts new ..."
Patterns in the Mind(1st Edition) Language and Human Nature by RayJackendoff Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 1993 by Prentice-Hall ISBN-13: 978-0-7450-0963-6, ISBN: 0-7450-0963-8
"Intended for undergraduate courses in introductory linguistics, cognitive science, psychology of language and philosophy of language, this text explains how an innate, genetically-encoded universal grammar provides the building blocks for all possible human languages."
"This book emphasizes the role of semantics as a bridge between the theoryof language and the theories of other cognitive capacities such as visual perceptionand motor control. It develops the position that the study of semantics of naturallanguage is the study of the structure of thought, and that grammatical structureoffers a much more important source of evidence for the theory of cognition than isoften supposed by linguists, philosop ..."
