Επίπεδα γλωσσικής ανάλυσης [Levels of linguistic analysis]
Th.-S. Pavlidou
The book’s primary objective is to provide a succinct and user-friendly reference guide to the study of the units and levels of linguistic analysis, based on which one can attempt to further explore issues regarding language. At the same time, the author seeks to familiarize readers with certain, now classic, linguistic theories, and, indirectly, with the history of linguistics, as well as provide a short introduction to methodology issues.
The book’s primary objective structures its organization into chapters that correspond to the sub-systems of language (phonological, morphological, syntactic, etc.). The chapters on pragmatics and sociolinguistics, in essence, call into question the rationale of the previous chapters, i.e., the logic of autonomy granted to individual aspects of language and its detachment from its communicative and social context. Despite the book’s conciseness, the relativity and dialectics characteristic of scientific inquiry become evident. This is, after all, the purpose that the exercises at the end of each chapter serve (besides consolidation of theoretical knowledge).
The book’s author is professor emerita at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
