Description: Pragmatics for Latin : From Syntax to Information Structure, Hardcover by Devine, A. M.; Stephens, Laurence D., ISBN 0190939478, ISBN-13 9780190939472, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Latin is often described as a free word order language, but in general each word order encodes a particular information structure: in that sense, each word order has a different meaning. Pragmatics for Latin provides a descriptive analysis of Latin information structure based on detailed
philological evidence and elaborates a syntax-pragmatics interface that formalizes the informational content of the various different word orders. Using a slightly adjusted version of the structured meanings theory, th shows how the pragmatic meanings matching the different word orders arise
naturally and spontaneously out of the compositional process as an integral part of a single semantic derivation covering denotational and informational meaning at one and the same time.
