Constructions at Work: The Nature of Generalization in Language

This book investigates the nature of generalization in language and examines how language is known by adults and acquired by children. It looks at how and why constructions are learned, the relation between their forms and functions, and how cross-linguistic and language-internal generalizations about them can be explained.   Constructions at Work is divided into three parts: in the first Professor Goldberg provides an overview of constructionist approaches, including the constructionist approach to argument structure, and argues for a usage-based model of grammar. In Part II she addresses issues concerning how generalizations are constrained and constructional generalizations are learned. In Part III the author shows that a combination of function and processing accounts for a wide range of language-internal and cross-linguistic generalizations. She then considers the degree to which the function of constructions explains their distribution and examines cross-linguistic tendencies in argument realization. She demonstrates that pragmatic and cognitive processes account for the data without appeal to stipulations that are language-specific.  This book is an important contribution to the study of how language operates in the mind and in the world and how these operations relate. It is of central interest for scholars and graduate-level students in all branches of theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics. It will also appeal to cognitive scientists and philosophers concerned with language and its acquisition.

If you are a project manager, or a member of a project team incorporating object-oriented technology into a software development project, you need to read this book. Filled with advice distilled from the authors' experience in the creation and use of object-oriented technology, Succeeding with Objects is an invaluable guide to the decision processes inherent in successful software development using object-oriented technology. The focus of the book is on you - the developer, project manager, or IS executive. It assumes that you want to apply object-oriented technology to real-world problems and to integrate this technology into the software development culture of your organization successfully. Case studies of object-oriented software projects and the direct personal experience of the authors from the basis for the decision frameworks presented. Using these frameworks, you will be able to develop your own coherent and successful management plan, tailored to your organization. Succeeding with Objects provides practical advice on how to incorporate object-oriented technology in software development projects based upon experience in real-life projects; covers all aspects of process models, project planning and control, software development environments, measurement, training, and systematic reuse and introduces ten decision frameworks used to develop a project management strategy, leveraged by object-oriented technology.
