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...

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...

Can an author s preference for expressing modality be quantified and then used as a marker of attribution?

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...
