Published 2007.
The aim of this book is to demonstrate how some controversial issues in language description are resolved in Integrational Linguistics, an approach
developed by Hans-Heinrich Lieb and others since the 1980s that provides a comprehensive theory of language integrating all levels of linguistic
description (from phonetics to sentence semantics) within a unified and consistent theoretical framework, and featuring a high degree of ontological
explicitness and formal clarity.
The four essays united here cover nearly all levels of language systems: phonetics and phonology (?The Case for Two-Level Phonology? by Hans-Heinrich Lieb,
on German obstruent tensing and French nasal alternation), morphology (?Form and Function of Verbal Ablaut in Contemporary Standard German? by Bernd
Wiese), morphology and syntax (?Inflectional Units and Their Effects? by Sebastian Drude, on the person system in Guaran?), and syntax and sentence
semantics (?Topic Integration? by Andreas Nolda, on 'split topicalization' in German).
