ISBN: 9780742540118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Indonesia is in the midst of an epic transition as it moves from decades of authoritarian government to a new era of democratic opening, from years of secular government to a time of struggle over the role of Islam in public life, and from the breakdown of a 'miracle' economy to a search for resilience in the face of global forces. In this timely work, leading scholars analyze the causes of the social, political, and economic crises that erupted in Indonesia in the late 1990s, the responses of the elite and civil society, and the prospects for continuing reform. In the process, they explore...

A Notional Theory of Syntactic Categories
ISBN: 9780521034210 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an innovative theory of syntactic categories and the lexical classes they define. It revives the traditional idea that these are to be distinguished notionally (semantically). The author proposes a notation based on semantic features that accounts for the syntactic behavior of classes. The book also presents a case for considering this classification--again in a rather traditional vein--to be basic to determining the syntactic structure of sentences.

A Performance Theory of Order and Constituency
ISBN: 9780521378673 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this major new book, John A. Hawkins presents a new theory of linear ordering in syntax. He argues that processing can provide a simple, functional explanation for syntactic rules of ordering, as well as for the selection among ordering variants in languages and structures in which variation is possible. Insights from generative syntax, typological studies of language universals, and psycholinguistic studies of language processing are combined to show that there is a profound correspondence between performance and grammar.
