Jim Miller is a Professor of cognitive linguistics at the University of Auckland, researcher on language syntax, semantics and standardology. In the period of 2003-2007 he was Professor Emeritus of Spoken Language at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics of the University of Edinburgh. In 1965 he received M.A. at the University of Edinburgh in Russian and French, receiving a Diploma in General Linguistics a year later. He received his Ph.D. on ''Tense and Aspect in Russian'' in 1970. After graduation, his main focus of interest for the first 20 years were in aspect, case and transitivity, as well as various models of the generative grammar framework. In late 1970s he investigated the syntax of Scottish English together with Keith Brown, which eventually led him to the research of a more general notion of syntax of spontaneous spoken language (English, Russian, and French), as well as the relation of spoken and written language, literacy, and the relationship of language and politics, education and identity. As a result of this research, he published a book ''Spontaneous Spoken Language'' together with Regina Weinert in 1998. His current research interest include speaking, writing and language acquisition, as well as topics on spoken language, non-standard language, and typology. ==Books== * ''Semantics and Syntax: Parallels and Connections'' (1985) * ''Syntax: A Linguistic Introduction to Sentence Structure'' (1992, with E K Brown, James V Miller) * ''Spontaneous Spoken Language : Syntax and Discourse'' (1998, with Regina Weinert) * ''An Introduction to English Syntax'' (2000) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Miller (linguist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
