Movement and Reconstruction: Questions and Principle C Effects in English and Polish
ISBN: 9783631518670 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses an old observation that complex interrogative constituents moved to the left periphery of the clause display dual properties with respect to principles of Chomsky s Binding Theory; in some cases the displaced constituent feeds Principle C while in others it does not. This account of the relationship between syntactic movement and its undoing (Reconstruction) for the purpose of establishing coreference relations involving pied-piped nominal phrases is based on certain refinements of ideas proposed in Lebaux (1988, 1992), Freidin (1986), Chomsky (1993) and Safir (1999).

During the first half of the 20th century approximately 10,000 short plays were written in the United States.

While some writers use the underlying structure of separate spheres and organize place and space in order to...

The last two decades have alerted applied linguists and their bureaucratic counterparts those who make or advise government on language policy to the issue of dealing with language problems in an accountable fashion.

ISBN: 9783631550571 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since Jeffrey Jerome Cohen edited The Postcolonial Middle Ages in 2000, some scholars have applied postcolonial criticism to the study of the Middle Ages. However, even in postcolonial studies of Chaucer, the role of non-European women in his work has not yet been fully discussed. Using postcolonial theory, the author explores how Chaucer represents non-European women, his Others both in gender and in culture. Her examination of non-European women in his work from a non-Westerner s point of view reveals that his representation is complicated and ambivalent, showing diverse views. The...

Representing the Unimaginable; Narratives of Disaster
ISBN: 9783631556733 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Finding words and images with which to describe and come to terms with a disaster is a psychological necessity, but it also inevitably manifests socio-cultural habits of thought and political interests. Language shapes, distorts and appropriates an occurrence that is not just a shocking and all too real destruction of life, property and the environment, but also a social construct. The unrepresentability of the experience of a disaster and the textuality of the represented event and thus also the contradictions, ruptures and silences inevitably created by the tensions between reality and...

Revolution: Few terms have been as characteristic of the social, political, and intellectual history of the 19th and 20th century as this one. After the -French- and -Industrial Revolution- as well as the -academic and scientific- revolutions and the artistic vanguards from the end of the 19th century onwards, social conflicts have been deeply impregnated by the idea of revolution. -Revolution- was not only regarded in terms of a radical break with the old order swept away in an explosive act of emancipatory practice, but it has often been rejected as a senseless dissolution of all order and...

From Word to Land: Early English Reports from North America as Worldmaking Texts
ISBN: 9783631573648 / Angielski / Miękka / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early English reports from North America were principal sources of knowledge for their European audience. Nevertheless, they also share central features with fictional narratives. The author analyzes how, and to what effect, -the word became land- and how language functioned in these narratives to create knowledge, history, and thus reality. Drawing on Nelson Goodman, Hayden White, and Jeffrey Kittay, this book surveys almost 50 narratives ranging geographically from Newfoundland to South Carolina and temporally from 1576 to 1700. Close readings focusing on their narrative and descriptive...

All Her Faculties: The Representation of the Female Mind in the Twentieth-Century English Novel
ISBN: 9783034317658 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. All Her Faculties focuses on the perpetuation and reflection in literature of particular representations of the female mind that are entrenched in conservative notions of womanhood. The study highlights literature s incontrovertible power to create myth - the myth of woman as body, not mind - through social practice as well as discourse. This is accentuated in the divergent yet related roles women as scholars play in a number of fictions that have entered, to a greater or lesser degree, the cultural consciousness of the twentieth century. What emerges is that the female scholar does...

A Sense of Apocalypse: Technology, Textuality, Identity
ISBN: 9783631648124 / Angielski / Twarda / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reaching into the depths of the collective unconscious, A Sense of Apocalypse explores and re-interprets one of the West s primordial fears, namely that of the apocalyptic closure of both cultural praxis and individual experience. Yet, in contrast to popular connotations of the term, apocalypse is viewed here in terms of a transitional narrative locating the subject at the intersection of technological determinism, pop-cultural imagination, postmodern urbanism and digital textuality. All these form the components of a new post-apocalyptic landscape, which not only produces a new...
