Regional Politics: America in a Post-City Age
ISBN: 9780803958906 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This collection presents a comparative study on the emerging regional nature of local and urban politics in the United States. Recent studies have tended to focus on the politics and power of inner cities or on suburban areas which have gained incredible strength in the past decade. Regional Politics, however, explores how politics works in the extended metropolis which both includes and surrounds the urban core and whose economy, society and politics are integrally joined. Through detailed case studies of 10 cities in the US, the book: looks at the development of regional patterns; analyzes...

The Formal Complexity of Natural Language
ISBN: 9781556080470 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Ever since Chomsky laid the framework for a mathematically formal theory of syntax, two classes of formal models have held wide appeal. The finite state model offered simplicity. At the opposite extreme numerous very powerful models, most notable transformational grammar, offered generality. As soon as this mathematical framework was laid, devastating arguments were given by Chomsky and others indicating that the finite state model was woefully inadequate for the syntax of natural language. In response, the completely general transformational grammar model was advanced as a suitable vehicle...
