Natural Language and Universal Grammar: Volume 1 by John Lyons
John Lyons is recognized internationally as one of the most influential scholars in modern linguistics. This volume contains essays spanning many years of his thought and research, in addition to previously unpublished pieces. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 make their first appearance here, and set out the view of linguistics and linguistic theory which underlies the content of this and a (forthcoming) companion volume. The remaining six chapters have been either extensively revised or annotated to provide the reader with their historical context and to bring them into line with the author's current thinking.
John Lyons is one of Australia's most experienced journalists. He is currently Head of Investigative Journalism at the ABC. Over the past forty years, he has held leadership positions including editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and executive producer of Nine's Sunday program. For six years, John was The Australian's Middle East correspondent, based in Jerusalem, an experience that led him to write the bestselling Balcony over Jerusalem. He has interviewed everyone from former Israeli prime ministers Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert to key figures from Hezbollah and Hamas.
