The main purpose of this book is the development of a new method for the semantical analysis of meaning, that is, a new method for analyzing and describing the meanings of linguistic expressions. This method, called the method of extension and intension, is developed by modifying and ex tending certain customary concepts, especially those of class and property. The method will be contrasted with various other semantical methods used in traditional philosophy or by contemporary authors. These other methods have one characteristic k corfflHbi Wrhey all regard an expression in a language as a name of a concrete or abstract entity. In contradistinc tion, the method here proposed takes an expression, not as naming any thing, but as possessing an intension and an extension.
This book is designed to serve three purposes. The first purpose is to define task analysis. In the Part I of the book, we define a structure and a definition of the process. The definition includes a description of the functions of task analysis and the situational variable that affect its performance. In each chapter, we describe the purpose, background, assumptions, and methods fpr performing each kind of task analysis. We also provide examples of each kind of analysis. We evaluate each task analysis method by by describing applications from the literature, alonmg with relative advantages and disadvantgaes of each method.
Written by leading experts in the field, The Blackwell Guide to Research Methods in Bilingualism and Multilingualism focuses on the methodology of research in this rapidly growing field.
Description This collection of previously unpublished, cutting-edge research discusses the conversational analytic (CA) approach to understanding language use. The book places a special emphasis on what the methods and findings of CA can offer to discourse-functional linguistics.
