Although correspondence has long been the object of diachronic studies, very little seems to be available as far as specialized usage is concerned, hence the specific interest in letters exchanged within...

ISBN: 9783034315166 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)
