TOMALIN, M., Linguistics and the Formal Sciences. Cambridge University Press, 2008. 248p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 110. The formal sciences, particularly mathematics, have had a profound influence on the development of linguistics. This insightful overview looks at techniques that were introduced in the fields of mathematics, logic and philosophy during the twentieth century, and explores their effect on the work of various linguists. In particular, it discusses the 'foundations crisis' that destabilised mathematics at the start of the twentieth century, the numerous related movements which sought to respond to this crisis, and how they influenced the development of syntactic theory in the 1950s. The book concludes by discussing the resulting major consequences for syntactic theory, and provides a detailed reassessment of Chomsky's early work at the advent of Generative Grammar. Informative and revealing, this book will be invaluable to all those working in formal linguistics, in particular those interested in its history and development.

SALLES, Catherine, Lire à Rome. Appendice (paléographique, papyrologique et codicologique) par R. Martin. Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 1992. 315p. Paperback. Series: Realia, 14. ‘Dans sa collection originale dénommée ‘Realia’, la société d’édition des ‘Belles Lettres’ publie des ouvrages rigoureux - même s’ils sont destinés au grand public - qui cherchent à cerner les réalités dont se composait la vie quotidienne des hommes de l’Antiquité. Le volume que voici est consacré à la littérature à Rome, aux multiples fonctions du livre ancien (esthétiques, polémiques, philosophiques, ésotériques, didactiques ou autres), aux facteurs qui influencent l’écrivain dans sa production, à l’étude de la lecture en tant que phénomène social, et aux relations entre les différents groupes de la société antique (…). Le problème de l’édition et de la diffusion du livre, produit de consommation et de tractations commerciales, y est aussi largement évoqué. (…) En toute, cette synthèse non scientifique constitue un volume captivant qui, loin de déparer la collection, pourrait fort honorablement figurer dans chaque bibliothèque classique.’ (PAUL VAN LANGENHOVEN in L’antiquité classique, 1995, pp.416-417). € 17.50 (Antiquarian)
