Anderson John M. The Grammar of Names

Oxford University Press, 2007. — 388 pp. — ISBN: 978-0-19-929741-2This work focuses on the relatively neglected grammar of names, thus crucially on their morphology and syntax. These areas have not aroused the kind of interest and controversy associated with (the status of) the semantics of names. The study of names made here, however, assumes that grammar is notional, or ontologically based. Thus we shall explore the association between the structure and distribution of names and their semantics and pragmatics. I shall indeed be suggesting that the conjunction of names and notional grammar is particularly appropriate and illuminating.В книге рассматриваются вопросы морфологии и синтаксиса имен собственных. Автор обращается также к анализу связей структуры и распределения имен собственных с их семантикой и прагматикой.Содержание:Conventions and abbreviations
