The linguistic layer offers a two-pathed differentiation. Lexical and grammar fields are taught through the Re-charged Direct Method, enriched with sand and water experiments, based on tactile-audible perception. The author's suggestions to...

Beats-And-Binding Phonology
ISBN: 9783631396643 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The present monograph introduces a model of Beats-and-Binding phonology (B&B phonology), embedded in the epistemological framework of Natural Linguistics. B&B phonology operates with units called beats (B s) and relations called bindings. The syllable is epiphenomenal in the B&B approach to phonology and thus at most is a consequence of the operation of the B&B preferences. Universal phonotactic preferences follow directly from the binding preferences and unanimously refer to the Optimal Sonority Distance Principle. In order to demonstrate the explanatory potential of B&B phonology, a...

The Pragmatics of Modals in Shakespeare
ISBN: 9783631594001 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Modals and related phenomena are without doubt one of the most complicated issues in the grammar of language. This study provides a reappraisal of the modals in Shakespeare s language from the pragmatic viewpoint, both micropragmatic and macropragmatic. The material selected for analysis are modals SHALL, SHOULD, WILL, WOULD, and their contracted forms. Micropragmatic aspects such as speech acts seem relatively easily accessible to historical researchers; however, this study moves further into the macropragmatic dimensions of language use than the earlier ones and covers politeness, dialogue,...

Form-Focused Instruction and the Advanced Language Learner: On the Importance of the Semantics of Grammar
ISBN: 9783631607497 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Form-Focused Instruction and the Advanced Language Learner looks at the role of FFI at higher levels of foreign language learning. It argues that contrary to a common belief there are aspects of grammar to be taught to the proficient FL user. While such a learner may be familiar with formal properties of different structures, (s)he still needs to focus on the semantics of target language grammar. Considering this, the book investigates the efficiency of a FFI treatment called Organic Approach Deductivised or 3-D language pedagogy, devised to teach the semantics of the...

The Non-Surviving Preterite-Present Verbs in English: The Demise of *Dugan, Munan, *-Nugan, *ÞUrfan, and Unnan
ISBN: 9783631729502 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Based on four historical corpora, the book is a comprehensive study of the demise of five preterite-present verbs in English. It offers a detailed description of their distribution in Old and Middle English. The subsequent comparison of the forms and uses of the preterite-presents in the two periods allows the author to suggest the reasons for their elimination from the language. The discussion focuses on phonological and morphological changes the verbs underwent as well as on the syntactic structures they appeared in. Yet, the study does not ignore factors of extra-linguistic nature such... Based on four historical corpora, the book is a comprehensive study of the demise of five preterite-present verbs in English.

Gender and the Formation of Modern Standard English: A Socio-Historical Corpus Study with Early Modern English in Focus
ISBN: 9783631549919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The study examines the influence of gender on several long-term changes between 1500 and 1710 with an aim to assess the power of this variable in the formation of Present-Day Standard English. It projects the findings of contemporary sociolinguistics onto the history of English to check whether it was women, as some contemporary research might indicate, who were main trendsetters in the Early Modern English period and propagators of language innovations that have finally shaped the structure of Present-Day Standard English. The research builds a bridge between contemporary and historical...

«Will You Tell Me «Any Thing» about Yourself?»: Co-Memorative Essays on Herman Melville's «Bartleby the Scrivener»
ISBN: 9783631587058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. There is no record of anything Herman Melville (1819 1891) may have thought or said about -Bartleby the Scrivener. A Story of Wall-Street-, his single most famous tale, published just over 150 years ago today. It is actually for a whole gamut of reasons that the text is unlikely to ever yield an interpretive consensus gentium, the insights of such magisterial figures as F.O. Matthiessen, Ralph Ellison, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, or Slavoj i ek notwithstanding. The volume adds to the nearly global Bartleby Industry with contributions by Andrzej Kopcewicz (Poznan), Joseph Kuhn (Poznan),...

Time Works Wonders: Selected Papers in Contrastive and Cognitive Linguistics
ISBN: 9783631638224 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The volume consists of reprints of papers originally published between 1967 and 2009, divided into two parts, only apparently devoted to two different areas of linguistics but in fact constituting a coherent whole. The -cognitive- part is an inevitable consequence of the -contrastive- part. In the first part such terms as -congruence-, -equivalence- and -tertium comparationis-, as well as fundamental principles of classical, structural contrastive studies are defined and implemented in actual contrastive analyses. In addition, the first outlines of contrastive generative grammar with its...

Language Contact and Vocabulary Enrichment: Scandinavian Elements in Middle English
ISBN: 9783631624142 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 173 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Scandinavian presence all over Europe during the so-called Viking Age is well documented and England is not an exception. However, the influence of their language on the development of English has not always been well interpreted. This volume aims at deciphering the reality behind the legend of a raiding heathen nation. By resorting to the evidence provided by language, the book explores and tries to reconstruct the social networks formed by both the English and Scandinavians. Their relations, needs and lives are inextricably intermingled with the hybrid tongue they adapted for...

English «At» an Integrated Semantic Analysis
ISBN: 9783631574522 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book aims to provide a considerably detailed, integrated and methodologically grounded study of at within the cognitive framework. Assuming the non-arbitrary quality of the mental lexicon and highly creative nature of the human conceptual system, it is posited that each preposition has a primary sense which interacts with a highly constrained set of cognitive principles to derive a set of additional distinct senses, forming a motivated semantic network. The present analysis also reveals that at is remarkably coherent in its metaphoric and metonymic manifestations in that...

Estuary English?: A Sociophonetic Study of Teenage Speech in the Home Counties
ISBN: 9783631393406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book discusses the phonetic make-up of the teenage speech in the Home Counties in order to verify the status of a putative new variety referred to as -Estuary English-. The study compares the findings of a field research carried out by the author in the vicinity of London in 1998/1999 with the data from the Survey of English Dialects obtained half a century earlier. The results of the research show that -Estuary English- should be viewed as a number of distinct accents with some influences of London speech, not a single and definable variety."

The Thematic Structure of the Sentence in English and Polish: Sentence Stress and Word Order
ISBN: 9783631635322 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The initial aim of the book was to describe Polish equivalents of the English articles. The functions of the articles were found in Polish to be expressed by word order and sentence stress (in neutral intonation). Word order and sentence stress were also analysed in English in view of the different nature of word order. Native speakers were asked to read given texts, which were recorded, and to comment on the intonation. The author concludes that the functions of the articles are part of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) and that the general tendency is to put new information in final...
