African Languages: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780521661782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is the first general introduction to African languages and linguistics to be published in English. It covers the four major language groupings (Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, Afroasiatic and Khoisan), the core areas of modern theoretical linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax), typology, sociolinguistics, comparative linguistics, and language, history and society. Basic concepts and terminology are explained for undergraduates and nonspecialist readers, but each chapter also provides an overview of the state of the art in its field, and as such will be referred to by more advanced...

Cognitive Foundations of Grammar
ISBN: 9780195102529 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The main function of language is to convey meaning. Therefore, argues Bernd Heine in these pages, the question of why language is structured the way it is must first of all be answered with reference to this function. Linguistic explanations offered in terms of other exponents of language structure (for example, syntax) are likely to highlight peripheral or epi-phenomenal--rather than central--characteristics of language structure. Heine provides a solid introductory treatment of the ways in which language structure (that is, grammar) and language usage can be explained with reference to the...

Possession: Cognitive Sources, Forces, and Grammaticalization
ISBN: 9780521024136 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Bernd Heine argues that the structure of grammatical categories is predictable to a large extent once we know the range of possible cognitive structures from which they are derived. The author uses as his example the structure of predicative possession, and shows how most of the possessive constructions to be found in the world's languages can be traced back to a small set of basic conceptual patterns. Using grammaticalization theory Heine describes how each affects the word order and morphosyntax of the resulting possessive construction.

The Genesis of Grammar: A Reconstruction
ISBN: 9780199227778 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "This book reconstructs what the earliest grammars might have been and shows how they could have led to the languages of modern humankind.
"Like other biological phenomena, language cannot be fully understood without reference to its evolution, whether proven or hypothesized," wrote Talmy Givon in 2002. As the languages spoken 8,000 years ago were typologically much the same as they are today and as no direct evidence exists for languages before then, evolutionary linguists are at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts in biology. Bernd Heine and Tania Kuteva seek to overcome this... "This book reconstructs what the earliest grammars might have been and shows how they could have led to the languages of modern humankind.

Auxiliaries: Cognitive Forces and Grammaticalization
ISBN: 9780195083873 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a new perspective on auxiliaries in particular and language structure in general, this study argues that language cannot be explained satisfactorily with reference to linguistic variables alone; what is required in addition are extra-linguistic parameters relating to how we perceive the world around us, and how we utilize the linguistic resources available to us to conceptualize our experiences, and to communicate successfully. Rather than a closed, self-contained system, language is an entity that is constantly shaped by such external factors as cognitive forces, pragmatic...

Reisebilder
ISBN: 9783150187302 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2010 / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mit den Reisebildern wurde Heinrich Heine berühmt, es gelang ihm nicht nur der Durchbruch auf dem nationalen und sogar internationalen Literaturmarkt, er wurde auch zur Leitfigur einer ganzen Schriftstellergeneration. Die Maxime dieser Literatur steckt in dem einen Wort "Bewegung". Heine bewegt sich durch ein Europa, das selbst in heftige Bewegung geraten ist, die Bewegung der Emanzipation, des Sich-Losreißens vom Gängelband der Bevorrechteten, der Aristokratie. Und er findet seinen genauso bewegten Stil, der locker wechselt zwischen Schilderungen von Orten, Landschaften,...

The Rise of Discourse Markers
ISBN: 9781108987288 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Discourse markers constitute an important part of linguistic communication, and research on this phenomenon has been a thriving field of study over the past three decades. However, a problem that has plagued this research is that these markers exhibit a number of structural characteristics that are hard to interpret based on existing methodologies, such as grammaticalization. This study argues that it is possible to explain such characteristics in a meaningful way. It presents a cross-linguistic survey of the development of discourse markers, their important role in communication, and their...

A Linguistic Geography of Africa
ISBN: 9780521182690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) More than forty years ago it was demonstrated that the African continent can be divided into four distinct language families. Research on African languages has accordingly been preoccupied with reconstructing and understanding similarities across these families. This has meant that an interest in other kinds of linguistic relationship, such as whether structural similarities and dissimilarities among African languages are the result of contact between these languages, has never been the subject of major research. This book shows that such similarities across African languages are more common...

The Changing Languages of Europe
ISBN: 9780199297344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book shows that the languages and dialects of Europe are becoming increasingly alike and furthermore that this unifying process goes back to Roman times, is accelerating, and affects every European language including those of different families such as Basque and Finnish. The unifying process involves every grammatical aspect of the languages and operates through changes so minute that native speakers fail to notice them. The authors reveal when, how, and why common grammatical structures have evolved and continue to evolve in processes of change that will transform the linguistic...
