Language, Space and Mind: The Conceptual Geometry of Linguistic Meaning
ISBN: 9781107010130 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea that spatial cognition provides the foundation of linguistic meanings, even highly abstract meanings, has been put forward by a number of linguists in recent years. This book takes this proposal into new dimensions and develops a theoretical framework based on simple geometric principles. All speakers are conceptualisers who have a point of view both in a literal and in an abstract sense, choosing their perspective in space, time and the real world. The book examines the conceptualising properties of verbs, including tense, aspect, modality and transitivity, as well as the conceptual...

The Targums: A Critical Introduction
ISBN: 9789004217690 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The value and significance of the targums--translations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic, the language of Palestinian Jews for centuries following the Babylonian Exile--lie in their approach to translation: within a typically literal rendering of a text, they incorporate extensive exegetical material, additions, and paraphrases that reveal important information about Second Temple Judaism, its interpretation of its bible, and its beliefs. This remarkable survey introduces critical knowledge and insights that have emerged over the past forty years, including targum manuscripts...

Discourse, Politics and Media in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9789027206459 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After three and a half decades of economic reforms, radical changes have occurred in all aspects of life in China. In an authoritarian society, these changes are mediated significantly through the power of language, carefully controlled by the political elites. Discourse, as a way of speaking and doing things, has become an indispensable instrument for the authority to manage a fluid, increasingly fragmented, but highly dynamic and yet fragile society. Written by an international team of leading scholars, this volume examines socio-political transformations of contemporary Chinese society...

ISBN: 9789027202611 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. China s opening up to the West, its extraordinary economic rise, and the subsequent internal and global issues, are an object of huge interest and concern. "Discourse and Socio-political Transformations in Contemporary China" focuses on one aspect of the contemporary Chinese phenomenon, one that is so obvious that it is generally ignored in the mainstream academic departments that politics, society and transformation are the product of myriad collective linguistic interchanges, some stabilized, some competing, some agonistic, some new and emerging.As an outcome of dialogue between Chinese and...

ISBN: 9789027226945 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Human beings are political animals.
They are also articulate mammals. How are these two aspects linked? This is a question that is only beginning to be explored. The present collection makes a contribution to the investigations into the use of language in those situations which, informally and intuitively, we call 'political'. Such an approach is revealing not only for politics itself but also for the human language capacity. Each chapter outlines a particular method or analytic approach and illustrates its application to a contemporary political issue, institution or... Human beings are political animals.
