Oikos Domus Household: The Many Lives of a Common Word describes historic episodes in the lives of these words, from the Greek oikos and Roman domus to our current family and home.

Another is to increase the reader s awareness of the fact that whatever the topic of a conversation, interlocutors are also expressing their attitudes and...

From New England and Virginia to New Spain and the current Southwest, North America s founding householders English and Spanish alike took the limited European practice of coerced labor and, over the course of two hundred years, transformed it into a depersonalized and brutal chattel slavery unlike anything that had existed in Europe. What system of language and logic, what visions of religious and civil society, allowed men who saw themselves both as Christians and cultured humanists to dehumanize and enslave people whose cultures and accomplishments were evident to nearly all? In this book...

Issues in Bilingualism and Biculturalism: A Hong Kong Case Study
ISBN: 9780820430362 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

It is mainly based on written data obtained from the local Chinese press collected systematically over a period of two years since late 1992. While previous studies on code-mixing between Cantonese and English in Hong Kong tend to emphasize sociolinguistic motivations, this book presents evidence that much of the code-mixing behaviour, be it in print or in speech, may be traced back to linguistic motivations at work resulting from sustained contact between Cantonese, modern...

Molecular Biology in Narrative Form: A Study of the Experimental Trajectory of Science
ISBN: 9780820486994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Molecular Biology in Narrative Form is a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary study that shows a connection between molecular biology and French narrative theory, and, from a unique perspective, bridges the gap between two disciplines that seem mutually exclusive. With many new insights on the link between science (in the form of DNA, a set of codes) and literature (in the form of language, another set of codes), this book looks at modern experimental science within the framework of semiotics. Priya Venkatesan reveals the extraordinary parallel between the work of scientists and the work...

The Use of Modal Expression Preference as a Marker of Style and Attribution: The Case of William Tyndale and the 1533 English Enchiridion Militis Chri
ISBN: 9781433108327 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Can an author s preference for expressing modality be quantified and then used as a marker of attribution? This book explores the possibility of using the subjunctive mood as an indicator of style and a marker of authorship in Early Modern English texts. Using three works by the sixteenth-century biblical translator and polemicist, William Tyndale, Elizabeth Bell Canon establishes a predictable preference for certain types of modal expression. The theory of subjunctive use as a marker of attribution was then tested on the anonymous 1533 English translation of Erasmus Enchiridion Militis...

These arguments are nominal elements that are not obligatory parts of a sentence.
