Bücher von Jr. Kretzschmar

The chapters in this innovative book introduce the quantitative analysis of linguistic survey data with specific reference to the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS).

This book proposes a unified theory of speech through which conflicting ideas about language might be understood. This model does not reject rules in favour of language use, or reject language use in favour of rules; rather, it shows how rules can come from language as people use it.
