Half-Real: Video Games between Real Rules and Fictional Worlds
ISBN: 9780262516518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A video game is half-real: we play by real rules while imagining a fictional world. We win or lose the game in the real world, but we slay a dragon (for example) only in the world of the game. In this thought-provoking study, Jesper Juul examines the constantly evolving tension between rules and fiction in video games. Discussing games from Pong to The Legend of Zelda, from chess to Grand Theft Auto, he shows how video games are both a departure from and a development of traditional non-electronic games. The book combines perspectives from such fields as literary and... A video game is half-real: we play by real rules while imagining a fictional world.

Compounding in Modern Greek
ISBN: 9789401782722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Enhancing our knowledge of compounding and word-formation in general, its exceptional scope is a worthy model for linguists, particularly morphologists, and offers insights for students of syntax, phonology, dialectology and typology, among others. The author examines first-tier...
