Inside Outside Upside Downside
ISBN: 9781326075095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A grumpy old hypochondriac is led into a world of dream and memory by certain pieces he finds separated out from the puzzle he is putting together. They are the key to the walled town represented in the surface of the puzzle - and to a secret locked within it. The book itself constitutes a puzzle: the solution is a fully interlocking picture of the tragi-comic narrator, as he tries to make head or tail of his aimless life. Amongst the ambiguous denizens of the puzzle world he glimpses a girl he once loved and lost...

Christina's book
ISBN: 9781326986544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. James, an IT consultant engaged in upgrading the computer system of the Brain Imaging Institute at Cambridge, discovers something strange in the institute's server - a number of encrypted titles of books. But before he can investigate further the institute's director is dismissed for appropriating institute funds to acquire a large quantity of beryllium fluoride from Russia for his own obscure ends. He disappears. Since James' company is engaged in nanotechnological research involving this substance he is more than a little curious to know what the director has been up to. A visit to the...

The Language of Dragonflies
ISBN: 9781326520625 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This tightly constructed novel is set in the fictitious village of Slatefield, where dinosaur bones were first found in England. The arrival of a writer of popular books at the house of his brother, an Oxford archaeologist, stirs up an old rivalry. A strange stone has been unearthed from a local quarry bearing what looks like an ancient script and the two brothers have very different interpretations of its contents. For the archaeologist it is clearly a fake, but for his brother and his artist wife it opens a window to a prehistoric civilization, going back even to the age of the giant...

The Greendale Voice
ISBN: 9781291979794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The walled - and very private - village of Greendale is not all that it appears to be from the outside. Superficially it embodies all that is quaint and desirable in the English country way of life. Within it is concealed an exclusive language academy catering for wealthy foreigners. This curious institution purports to teach 'perfect' English - with a 100 % success rate - and successful graduation holds out the promise of integration into the English upper crust. Everything seems light and amusing at the onset, and the latest electronic technology is regarded just as fun by the new intake of...

Semantix
ISBN: 9781326009410 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This unconventional introduction to the linguistic discipline of semantics - and pragmatics - takes the form of a series of zany dialogues, each illustrating a particular topic. They do this by breaking the rules that govern language usage in such a way as to bring home their hidden existence with a jolt. The intention is to render the significance of these abstractions more tangible and to sharpen the reader's awareness of what lurks beneath the surface of more 'normal' human communication. The notion of context is crucial throughout: it is the key to understanding the richer meaning of both...

A Neural Network Model of Lexical Organization
ISBN: 9781441117915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is an engaging study of the mental lexicon: the way in which the form and meaning of words is stored by speakers of specific languages. Fortescue attempts to narrow the gap between the results of experimental neurology and the concerns of theoretical linguistics in the area of lexical semantics. The prime goal as regards linguistic theory is to show how matters of lexical organization can be analysed and discussed within a neurologically informed framework that is both adaptable and constrained. This is an engaging study of the mental lexicon: the way in which the form and meaning of words is stored by speakers of specific languages. Fortes... |

Haloes and Shadows
ISBN: 9781530487226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this tongue-in-cheek novel there is a diabolical plot afoot to detonate a dirty bomb on the lawn of the White House involving of all things the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. Brent, Senator Barrington's naive twit of a son, is an unwitting part of the plot - and its ultimate backfiring. There are dark forces at work beneath the surface and they have their claws in the senator's son - or so they think. We follow Brent's chaotic journey in search of material on global warming for his thesis at Shenektekoot Community College. The senator willingly finances his travels, hoping to keep him out...

Domain of Language
ISBN: 9788772897066 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 391 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In an unconventional way Michael Fortescue introduces his subject as a kind of fable with a historical moral that professional linguists, as well as students, should enjoy as a useful commentary on the state of the discipline today.

Necker Cubes and Lost Marbles
ISBN: 9781326969028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Each of the prose poems that constitute the first part of this volume juxtaposes at least two widely different images and ways of reading them. The result - an either/or choice between incompatibles - can be surprising. Those of the second part are based on more free-wheeling association and word play. All good fun.

The devolution of the Flubb
ISBN: 9781508934219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this final volume of 'The Adventures of the Flubb' our little word-taster finds himself out of a job. The pocket dictionary project has collapsed with his boss running off to join the Theosophists in the Himalayas. Mindful now of the chaos his often misguided attempts to help people in the past has left behind him, he sets out to make amends for some of the damage he has caused. He retraces his steps - the same approximate steps he followed through 'The Evolution of the Flubb', but now in reverse. Alas, these well-meaning attempts only produce more chaos in their wake - and do not bring...

The Abingdon Chronicles
ISBN: 9781291989014 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Annie is about to start her last year at boarding school in Abingdon when Uncle George, whom she barely remembers, shows up out of the blue. He is drunk and starts off on an elaborate confabulation about an event he has been witness to on Abingdon Bridge. His appearance in Annie's life will turn her life upside down and provide her with a seemingly endless source of entertainment. He has returned to his old stomping ground after a mysterious spell 'abroad'. He evidently has an intimate knowledge of all aspects of the town's life, its history and local characters and, above all, a thorough...

In this, the fourth volume in the trilogy 'The Adventures of the Flubb' (well, the Flubb never was much good at numbers ) our intrepid word-taster is called upon to retrieve a valuable hard drive that his technically minded colleague Derek has 'borrowed' from work and fitted into a grand piano. He had been tinkering for some time with a device that can turn keyboard music into speech and vice versa. A beautiful young Austrian lady contacted him, worried by the mute depression of her composer brother and hoping Derek's device would get him communicating with his piano and composing again....
