Linguistic Categorization: Prototypes in Linguistic Theory

Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics

by Carol R. Taylor

This is the first accessible introduction to the "cognitive paradigm" in linguistics. Constrasting cognitive linguistics with the assumptions of Chomskyan linguistics, and drawing examples mainly from English, the book explores the potential of the study of word meaning, syntax, and
phonology.

A great response and alternative to Chomskyan generative grammar.
