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.

In this book...

Truth Be Told; Sense, Quantity, and Extension
ISBN: 9781433130090 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 79 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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....

En 1901, deprimido por el suicidio de su intimo amigo, Carles Casagemas, Picasso se sumerge en los lienzos austeros y melancolicos del Periodo Azul. Con solo veintidos anos de edad y desesperadamente pobre, decide restringir su paleta a colores predominantemente frios, sugerentes de la nocturnidad, el misterio y la muerte. Su creciente obsesion con estos temas alcanza su punto culminante con La vie, un lienzo emblematico de la relacion del pintor con la muerte, considerada una fuerza malefica con la que uno debe enfrentarse mediante el poder del exorcismo que le ha sido otorgado como...

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.

The English Gerund-Participle; A Comparison with the Infinitive
ISBN: 9780820463995 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There is considerable confusion regarding the English suffix ing, which is usually treated as progressive. The sentence I regret telling him shows, however, that this is not always the case. The very same form can sometimes evoke an ongoing process and sometimes a completed action. This book brings much-needed clarity to this area of English grammar, proposing a simple coherent explanation based on meaning. ESL teachers will find it a valuable contribution to the focus on form approach. It will also be of interest to linguists as it addresses the problems of tense and control that have been...

Inheritance and Inflectional Morphology: Old High German, Latin, Early New High German, and Koine Greek

Inheritance, which has its origins in the field of artificial intelligence, is a framework focusing on shared properties. When applied to inflectional morphology, it enables useful generalizations within and across paradigms. The inheritance tree format serves as an alternative to traditional paradigms and provides a visual representation of the structure of the language s morphology. This mapping also enables cross-linguistic morphological comparison.

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.

ISBN: 9781433119880 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 109 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...
