He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy, magnetism, cryptology, numerology, geology, and music.

The Leopard's Spots
ISBN: 9789004222441 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Leopard's Spots, Gerrit J. Dimmendaal discusses the interaction between language, cognition, and culture in an African context with special focus on the cultural construction of meaning through language. Such constructions are constrained by our cognitive system, but leave lots of space for culture-specific interpretations and thereby for tremendous typological diversity between languages. This variation reflects the adaptive nature of human language in the same way that the spots of the leopard reflect selective advantages for its natural habitat. But whereas science has...

Intonation in African Tone Languages
ISBN: 9783110484793 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume brings together two under-investigated areas of intonation typology. While tone languages make up to 70 percent of the world s languages, only few have been explored for intonation. And even though one third of the world s languages are spoken in Africa, and most sub-Saharan languages are tone languages, recent collections on tone and intonation typology have almost entirely ignored African languages. This book aims to fill this gap. "This volume brings together two under-investigated areas of intonation typology. While tone languages make up to 70 percent of the world s language... |
