Rich Languages is an unusual book, assembled as a homage to an unusual woman ... The various outstanding contributors to this volume ... are some of the leaders of the generative enterprise. They seamlessly converge on a rich narrative that is cohesive and engaging - a real page-turner. The convergence is itself a testament to the impact of her pioneering path. Iris Berent, Language Offers a very comprehensive and detailed overview of the state of current POS research and offers great insight into POS problems currently under investigation in the field of language acquisition.

Author Information

Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini is Professor Cognitive Science at the University of Arizona and a member of the Department of Linguistics, the Cognitive Science Program, and the Department of Psychology. In October 1975 he organized the encounter between Jean Piaget and Noam Chomsky and in 1980 edited the proceedings Language and Learning, now translated into 11 languages and the echoes of which still explictly resonate in the present volume. He is the editor, with Juan Uriagereka and Pello Salaburu, of Minds and Language: A Dialogue with Noam Chomsky in the Basque Country (OUP, 2009; paperback 2010), and author, with Jerrry Fodor, of What Darwin Got Wrong (Profile, 2010). Robert C. Berwick is Professor of Computer Science and Computational Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has published more than half a dozen books on the nature of language, language learnability, and computation, starting from his 1982 dissertation, The Acquisition of Syntactic Knowledge (MIT Press) to The Grammatical Basis of Linguistic Performance (MIT Press, 1986), Computational Complexity and Natural Language (MIT Press, 1987), and Principle-Based Parsing (Kluwer, 1999). Most recently, he has focused on the biology of language, particularly language evolution.
