books by Norbert Hornstein     books:     Norbert Hornstein      Chomsky and His Critics (Philosophers and their Critics) Wiley-Blackwell, 2003 not at all bad If you're interested in what other philosophers, and linguists have to say about chomsky check this book out. It's fairly complex, so I wouldn't recommend it for newer students that are unfarmiliar with his work. The chapter by Strawson I particularly enjoyed.             Logic as Grammar: An Approach to Meaning in Natural Language Norbert Hornstein The MIT Press, 1986 How is the meaning of natural language interpreted? Taking as its point of departure the logical problem of natural language acquisition, this book elaborates a theory of meaning based on syntactical rather than semantical processes. Hornstein argues that the traditional neoFregean approach taken by Davidson, Barwise and Perry, and Montague, among ...             As Time Goes By: Tense and Universal Grammar Norbert Hornstein The MIT Press, 1993 How do humans acquire, at a very early age and from fragmentary and haphazard data, the complex patterns of their native language?

Thus they show how the guiding ideas of minimalism can shape the construction of a new, more explanatory theory of the syntactic component of the human language faculty. Contributors : Zeljko Boskovic, Samuel David Epstein, Robert ...             Understanding Minimalism (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics) Norbert Hornstein, Jairo Nunes, ... Cambridge University Press, 2005 Comprehensive This book is thorough in covering Minimalism. I recommend it to those who have had a complete Introduction to Syntax.
