ISBN: 9781433109348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Literary Nationalism in German and Japanese Germanistik traces the convergence of German and Japanese metaphors for national literary spirit through the academic study of the German language and literature in Germanistik. Early notions of a spiritual link to the national literary tradition allowed speakers of German to imagine their unity before the existence of the modern German state, but the concept for spirit also gained various nuances in the works of such writers as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, E.T.A. Hoffmann, and Hermann Hesse. Moreover, throughout the...

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. "Issues in Bilingualism and Biculturalism" describes the nature and extent of code-mixing in Hong Kong in the 1990s. 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...

ISBN: 9781433103902 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 163 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Social Differentiation in Cameroon English investigates the correlation between some extra-linguistic variables (gender, age, level of education, ethnicity, regionality, occupation, and mood) and phonological variables in a New English setting that is sociolinguistically and culturally different from most Western contexts. The investigation reveals that the type of correlation patterns between linguistic and sociolinguistic variables reported in the Western world are lacking in Cameroon because of contextual factors and the fact that English Language Teaching (ELT) goals in Cameroon...

ISBN: 9781433127267 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Applicative Arguments: A Syntactic and Semantic Investigation of German and English presents formal semantic and syntactic analyses of German and English applicative arguments. These arguments are nominal elements that are not obligatory parts of a sentence. Both German and English have several types of applicative arguments, including so-called benefactive and malefactive constructions. More specifically, the research relies on tests to differentiate the different types of applicative arguments based on this contribution to meaning: Some applicatives contribute only not-at-issue...

Oikos - Domus - Household: The Many Lives of a Common Word
ISBN: 9781433115776 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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. The episodes highlight their function as controlling metaphors used very differently from culture to culture, but often as ways to control basic issues, like the context in which women become pregnant and the control of land and its transmission to heirs. This book also describes how these words and their current equivalents, home and family, are used as metaphors to illustrate how people who count are...

Chinese Syntactic Grammar: Functional and Conceptual Principles
ISBN: 9781433112522 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 493 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Chinese Syntactic Grammar: Functional and Conceptual Principles is unique in that it discusses the organizational principles of Chinese syntactic structures in terms of conceptual and functional principles, which are iconic and hence are easy to understand and apply. The organizational principles mainly comprise the three Chinese conceptual principles of Temporal Sequence, Temporal Scope, and Whole-Before-Part (Tai, 1985) and the two functional principles of Communicative Dynamism and the Principle of Topic-End Focus. By analyzing the semantic roles of each clause element, Chinese...

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...

Truth Be Told; Sense, Quantity, and Extension
ISBN: 9781433130090 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 79 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Truth Be Told explains how truth and falsity result from relations that sentences have to the contexts in which they occur and the circumstances at which they are evaluated. It offers a precise conception of truth and a clear diagnosis of the Liar and Grelling paradoxes. Currently, semantic theory employs generalized quantifiers as the extensions of noun phrases in explanations of the composition of truth-values. Generalized quantifiers are direct descendants of the second-level functions to truth-values that Gottlob Frege considered to be the referents of his unrestricted quantifiers....

German Ver-Verbs: Internal Word Structure and Lexical Processing
ISBN: 9780820486635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One of the central questions in psycholinguistics is how complex words are processed in the human mind. German ver-Verbs: Internal Word Structure and Lexical Processing explores the visual word recognition of German ver-verbs. Superficially, ver-verbs are uniform: they all begin with the sequence ver-. However, their internal structure is heterogeneous. Based on the results of various experimental designs, this book shows that the internal structure of ver-verbs is of paramount importance to their processing. Thus, the human mind employs different strategies for the processing of...

Intonation is increasingly becoming a central topic in understanding the phonology of spoken language. Geoffrey Barker gives a detailed account of the intonational structure of Tyrolean German, a South Bavarian dialect of German spoken in western Austria and northern Italy, using an -autosegmental-metrical- theory of intonational phonology. Based on new fieldwork data, he provides a phonetic and phonological analysis of pitch contours in Tyrolean German with the assistance of speech analysis software. He demonstrates that Tyrolean German intonation is fundamentally different from the...

The Five Vital Signs of Conversation: Address, Self-Disclosure, Seating, Eye-Contact, and Touch
ISBN: 9781433119880 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 109 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How we address people, where we sit, what we disclose about ourselves, how we make eye contact, and where and when we touch are signs of attitudes and emotions. Because we may not be conscious of the social or psychological significance of these signs, they are the stealth aspect of conversation. One goal of this book is to demonstrate that address, self-disclosure, seating, eye-contact, and touch are the five vital signs of conversation. 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...

O Rourke presents a study of language and linguistic forms and the roles they played in the initial imagining, developing, and maintaining of a society based on coerced labor.

In the interaction between colonial powers and conquered peoples, O Rourke also describes how the European colonial nations imposed their own languages, social metaphors, and utopian views as a way to disconnect those they conquered from their historic roots and...

Can the earliest runic inscriptions be used to learn something about their dialects, and can we extract other information from their study as a corpus?
