The Influence of Text Type on Word Order of Old Germanic Languages: A Corpus-Based Contrastive Study of Old English and Old High German
ISBN: 9783631613153 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book examines the word order of two Old Germanic languages, Old English and Old High German, using a corpus containing samples of three text types: poetry, original prose and translated prose. Thanks to this methodology, it is possible to compare word order patterns in Old English and Old High German, eliminating differences which may be due to stylistic or technical reasons (rhythm, rhyme, Latin influences), as well as to see to what extent text type determines word order and to check whether this phenomenon is universal (triggering similar behaviour in both analysed languages). The book...

Meaning and Translation: Part 1: Meaning
ISBN: 9783631630068 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Since translation cannot be approached in isolation from meaning, anything that is said about translation must necessarily be placed in the context of meaning. Accordingly, the first volume of the book concerns this necessary context, while the second volume will view translation in terms of the semantic framework presented in the first volume. Both volumes are to a large extent consistent with major tenets of cognitive linguistics. The work is addressed primarily to students pursuing translation studies but also to all those persons who are interested in semantics and translation for...

Time Works Wonders: Selected Papers in Contrastive and Cognitive Linguistics
ISBN: 9783631638224 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The volume consists of reprints of papers originally published between 1967 and 2009, divided into two parts, only apparently devoted to two different areas of linguistics but in fact constituting a coherent whole. The -cognitive- part is an inevitable consequence of the -contrastive- part. In the first part such terms as -congruence-, -equivalence- and -tertium comparationis-, as well as fundamental principles of classical, structural contrastive studies are defined and implemented in actual contrastive analyses. In addition, the first outlines of contrastive generative grammar with its...

Change in Life, Change in Language: A Semantic Approach to the History of English
ISBN: 9783631634530 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book provides the reader with a description of the semantic change that took place over two periods of the history of English language: Middle English and Early Modern English. In view of the fact that semantic change is the type of change by which the relationship between language and society can be traced best, notes on the socio-historical background of the period have been included. They are followed by the analysis of language change in general in which some of the literature on the topic is reviewed and the author s interpretation of change as being caused by external factors is...

Betwixt «Engelaunde» and «Englene Londe»: Dialogic Poetics in Early English Religious Lyric
ISBN: 9783631616956 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study explores the somewhat neglected area of dramatic genres of early English religious lyric and illuminates the functions of dialogue as an instrument of devotion and cognition in the context of medieval culture. The book focuses on short poems in dialogue form, semi-dialogic prayers and dramatic monologues, and alleged dialogic configurations of the lyrics, stressing their potential for performance. Devotional dialogues, as between Jesus and Mary, are shown to have the form of mutual begging, in accordance with the central medieval ritual of supplication. Dialogue as heteroglossia...

Graphemics and Morphosyntax in the «Cely Letters» (1472-88)
ISBN: 9783631513743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This monograph provides a detailed description of the language of the Cely Letters, the earliest extant collection of commercial correspondence in English (1472-88). The authors of the letters in question are English wool merchants, members of the middle class. The focus of this corpus-based analysis is morphosyntactic, but much attention is also paid to the orthographic systems traceable in the letters. The results of the structural-functional research indicate that although the language of the Celys exhibits several new tendencies, it preserves numerous orthographic, morphological...

In this volume of 29 papers, readers interested in language variation and historical linguistics will find interesting theoretical proposals as well as suggestions concerning ways of approaching previously unsolved empirical problems in the field. The papers deal with various aspects of historical regional dialectology, and some border on the issue of dialectology and linguistic change. Although many deal with English, a number discuss Romance languages in general as well as Norwegian, German, relic languages of the eastern Alpine region, Coptic, and Fox. Some are devoted to more general...

Theoretical Issues in Contrastive Linguistics
ISBN: 9789027235022 / Angielski / Twarda / 1981 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Contrastive Linguistics, roughly defined as a subdiscipline of linguistics which is concerned with the comparison of two or more (subsystems of) languages, has long been associated primarily with language teaching. Apart from this applied aspect, however, it also has a strong theoretical purpose, contributing to our understanding of language typology and language universals. Issues in theoretical CL, which also feature in this volume, are the choice of model, the notions of equivalence and contrast, and directionality of descriptions. Languages used for illustration in this volume include...

The Syntax of Numeral Noun Constructions: A View from Polish
ISBN: 9783631740651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Numeral constructions in Polish are known for their complex morpho-syntax: in particular, depending on the type, case and syntactic context, the numeral may show properties of the adjective or the noun. This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of these constructions set in the current generative-minimalist model of grammar, with elements of nano-syntax. The authors pay particular attention to a feature-based derivation of the numeral construction in its different versions, including complex multiplicative numerals, as well as its distribution in the clause. Numerals in the subject...

The Thematic Structure of the Sentence in English and Polish: Sentence Stress and Word Order
ISBN: 9783631635322 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The initial aim of the book was to describe Polish equivalents of the English articles. The functions of the articles were found in Polish to be expressed by word order and sentence stress (in neutral intonation). Word order and sentence stress were also analysed in English in view of the different nature of word order. Native speakers were asked to read given texts, which were recorded, and to comment on the intonation. The author concludes that the functions of the articles are part of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) and that the general tendency is to put new information in final...
