ISBN: 9783034308199 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Given the increasing use of English worldwide and in intercultural communication, there is a growing interest in attitudes towards non-native speaker accents in English. Research on attitudes towards non-native English accents is therefore important because of concerns about positive and negative discrimination between people who speak with different accents. This book reveals exactly what types of accent variations trigger positive and negative attitudes towards the speaker.
The author argues that certain types of variation in the pronunciation of English can have a significant effect on... Given the increasing use of English worldwide and in intercultural communication, there is a growing interest in attitudes towards non-native speaker ...

For Sylheti Bangladeshi migrants the use of the maatri bhaasha ( mother language ) whether this is the regional variety (Sylheti) or the standard variety (Bengali/Bangla) is highly significant.

Meanings at the Text Level: A Co-Evolutionary Approach: A Co-Evolutionary Approach
ISBN: 9783039102501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. If language and the brain are co-evolved and language as a latecomer can avail itself of pre-existing means to solve its own problems, then it should be possible to describe it in terms of processing strategies and constraints arising from brain systems. This is precisely what this study attempts to do with respect to the emergence of three types of higher-level meanings: direct speech acts, built-in conditions for their success and non-defective performance and constraints on sequencing of an argumentational kind. In so doing there are three main issues it needs to address. What types of...

Comparative Syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic: Linguistic, Literary and Historical Implications
ISBN: 9783039102709 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Study of the syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic has for long been dominated by the impressions of early philologists. Their assertions that these languages were -free- in their word-order were for many years unchallenged. Only within the last two decades has it been demonstrated that the word-order of each shows regular patterns which approach the status of rules, and which may be precisely described. This book takes the subject one step further by offering a comparison of the syntax of Old English and Old Icelandic, the two best-preserved Old Germanic languages. Overwhelmingly the two...

Dynamic Linguistics: Labov, Martinet, Jakobson and Other Precursors of the Dynamic Approach to Language Description
ISBN: 9783034317054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 589 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Analysis of language as a combination of both a structural and a lexical component overlooks a third all-encompassing aspect: dynamics. Dynamic Linguistics approaches the description of the complex phenomenon that is human language by focusing on this important but often neglected aspect.
This book charts the belated recognition of the importance of dynamic synchrony in twentieth-century linguistics and discusses two other key concepts in some detail: speech community and language structure. Because of their vital role in the development of a dynamic approach...

Semantics and Word Formation: The Semantic Development of Five French Suffixes in Middle English
ISBN: 9783039119103 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is about the integration into English of the five nominal suffixes -ment, -ance, -ation, -age and -al, which entered Middle English via borrowings from French, and which now form abstract nouns by attaching themselves to various base categories, as in cord/cordage or adjust/adjustment. The possibility is considered that each suffix might individually affect the general semantic profile of nouns which it forms. A sample of first attributions from the Middle English Dictionary is analysed for each suffix, in order to examine...

ISBN: 9783039110414 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Issues of language planning and minority nationalism or -micronationalism- are becoming increasingly important in a globalized world. Yet minority language planning in Italy and its relation to minority nationalism has so far attracted relatively limited academic attention, despite the particularly interesting changes that have taken place since Law 482 on the protection of minority languages was passed in 1999. This book presents the situation in Italy in three case studies and compares them with similar cases in Spain: Friulian (compared with Galician), Cimbrian (compared with Aranese) and...

Sourcing the Self: Debating the Relations Between Language and Consciousness
ISBN: 9783039113989 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Social constructionists argue that our inner selves and our actions in the world are socially produced. Meta-realists, on the other hand, say that human consciousness is stratified, and not socially shaped at all levels. How do the human acts of creativity and resistance illuminate these different perspectives on human consciousness? This book explores theories of self and agency through a critical discourse analysis of the accounts of five British artists talking about their motivations, their creative processes and their experiences of the practices and institutions of visual art....

Beyond the Aspect Hypothesis; Tense-Aspect Development in Advanced L2 French
ISBN: 9783039102815 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Aspect Hypothesis (AH) claims that the association of any verb category (lexical aspect) with any grammatical aspect (perfective or imperfective) constitutes the endpoint of acquisition.
The present book evaluates the explanatory power of the Aspect Hypothesis for the acquisition of French past tenses, which constitutes a serious stumbling block for foreign learners, even at the highest levels of proficiency. The present research applies the Aspect Hypothesis to the production of 61 Anglophone advanced learners in a tutored environment. In so doing, it tests concurrent explanations,...
