Oxford Studies in Metaethics is the only publication devoted exclusively to original philosophical work in the foundations of ethics. It provides an annual selection of much of the best new scholarship being done in the field.

This handbook brings together contributions from the main experts in the field of multilingualism and language varieties (including dialects, accents, sociolects, and idiolects of specific speech communities) as expressed in fictional dialogue on-screen in films and television series.

Linguist Rishi Rajpopat solves an ancient puzzle, showing that Pa?ini’s Sanskrit grammar is self-sufficient. Centuries of commentators, having misunderstood it, created tools to overcome its supposed flaws, but to no avail. By reinterpreting some key Pa?inian rules, Rajpopat shows that the language machine is in fact entirely free of such glitches.

The development of pragmatics has been shaped by thought experiments without which it could not have become an autonomous subfield of linguistics.

The first full-length treatment of the concept of parameter and its development through the various phases of Generative Grammar. Providing step-by-step, detailed explanations, it offers a full account of parametric theory and the development of Chomsky's framework for researchers and advanced students in syntactic theory and language acquisition.

Written by a highly esteemed scholar, this book is essential reading for researchers in Construction Grammar, Systemic Grammar and Corpus Linguistics. It is the first to bring these three specialised areas together, finding common ground between them systematically. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
