Relativization in Early English (950-1250): The Position of Relative Clauses
ISBN: 9783039112036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is concerned with the position which relative clauses occupy with respect to the main clause in the history of English. Relative clauses have evolved from adjoined clauses placed outside the main clause to clauses closely attached to the noun they modify inside the main clause. This process of incorporation took place through a stage of topicalization in which relative clauses were dislocated to the left of the main clause, leaving a trace behind in the place where they are generated. This study is empirically founded, with data from The Helsinki Corpus of English Texts:...

ISBN: 9783034315333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9783034331050 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The book gives an overview of telephone interpretation from a professional, innovative and pedagogical approach.

Due...

Historical (Im)Politeness
ISBN: 9783039114962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This edited collection investigates historical linguistic politeness and impoliteness. Although some research has been undertaken uniting politeness and historical pragmatics, it has been sporadic at best, and often limited to traditional theoretical approaches. This is a strange state of affairs, because politeness plays a central role in the social dynamics of language. This collection, containing contributions from renowned experts, aims to fill this hiatus, bringing together cutting-edge research. Not only does it illuminate the language usage of earlier periods, but by examining the past...
