About The Book

What is the remit of theoretical linguistics? How are human languages different from animal calls or artificial languages? What philosophical insights about language can be gleaned from phonology pragmatics probabilistic linguistics and deep learning? This book addresses the current philosophical issues at the heart of theoretical linguistics which are widely debated not only by linguists but also philosophers psychologists and computer scientists. It delves into hitherto uncharted territory putting philosophy in direct conversation with phonology sign language studies supersemantics computational linguistics and language evolution. A range of theoretical positions are covered from optimality theory and autosegmental phonology to generative syntax dynamic semantics and natural language processing with deep learning techniques. By both unwinding the complexities of natural language and delving into the nature of the science that studies it this book ultimately improves our tools of discovery aimed at one of the most essential features of our humanity our language.
