Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book explores the interaction of syntax, pragmatics, and semantics in the behaviour of verb phrases, incluing noun and prepositional phrases, and how they interact with the information provided by the verb. It also considers how the component elements of linguistic theory act together to explain and predict what appear to be simple utterances, but whose structure may be hard to analyse. The structure of 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the oven' must be different from 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the kitchen'. The author explains how.
MoreLong description:
This book explores the interaction of grammar and context in human communication. Lutz Marten focuses on verbs and verb phrases: he examines the relationship between language rules and linguistic behaviour, seeking to distinguish between language-specific syntactic knowledge and the general reasoning people need to understand and to make themselves understood. He considers how the component elements of linguistic theory explain what appear to be simple utterances but whose structure is hard to analyse - how, for example, 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the oven' is different from 'Fran is baking Mary a cake in the kitchen'.
The author's account of the interactions of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics is based on extensive observation among contrasting cultures and a variety of languages. He makes important contributions to understanding in all three areas. His book will appeal to linguistic theoreticians of all persuasions.
