《语言的基础——大脑、意义、语法和演变》是Jackendoff多年来有关语言理论基础和理论研究模式的集大成。
《语言的基础——大脑、意义、语法和演变》是有关语言的理论基础和理论研究模式的集大成之作，融汇了心理学、神经科学、生物学、哲学以及生物进化论等相关研究领域的成果，在评价乔姆斯基关于普遍语法的种种观点之余．提出了语言处理的平行构架观作为人脑存储和处理语言的基本理论框架，为我们理解语言和交际，尤其是认识语法、词汇、语言习得、语言的起源以及语言和思维与真实世界的关系等提供了一个崭新的视角。

当代语言学通常分为两大阵营：形式主义和功能主义。两者的哲学基础?工作假设都有较大的分歧。不过，把两者结合得最好的，莫过于美国语言学家R．Jackendoff。他30多年的研究跨越了生成语言学和认知语言学，涉猎甚广，重点围绕自然语言的意义系统而展开，即语义是如何与人类的概念系统相关联的，语言中概念是如何表达的。他对传统哲学问题中推理和指称进行的思考体现在他的概念语义学（conceptUal semantics）中。 《语言的基础：大脑、意义、语法和演变》是Jackendoff多年来有关语言理论基础和理论研究模式的集大成，是对转换一生成语法理论的继承和发展。全书共13章?分三大部分：心理和生理基础（1～4章）；构造基础（5～8章）；语义和概念基础（9～13章）。

本书通俗易懂的讲解了语言学特别是语义学的相关内容，对于语言语法研究者十分有帮助，同时对于计算机专业自然语言处理领域的研究也同样有很大的帮助。
文库的这些书，都是经典著作，值得一读
算是本经典著作
就是写的有点晦涩
不是很简单的那种英语
如果英语不是很好或者没有语言学基础
还是建议先看其他的书
