Language, Mind and Nature: Artificial Languages in England from Bacon to Locke
ISBN: 9780521294133 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the attempt to make good one of the desiderata in Bacon's Advancement of Learning, a cohort of seventeenth-century philosophers, scientists, schoolmasters, clergymen and virtuosi attempted to devise artificial languages that would immediately represent the order of thought. This was believed directly to represent the order of things and to be a universal characteristic of the human mind. Language, Mind and Nature is a 2007 text which fully reconstructs this artificial language movement. In so doing, it reveals a great deal about the beliefs and activities of those who sought to reform...

Kayardild Morphology and Syntax
ISBN: 9780199654871 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents new data and a formal analysis of the inflectional system and syntax of Kayardild, a typologically striking language of Northern Australia. It sets forth arguments for recognizing an intricate syntactic structure that underlies the exuberant distribution of inflectional features throughout the clause, and for an intermediate, 'morphomic' level of representation that mediates morphosyntactic features' realization as morphological forms.
The book differs from existing treatments of Kayardild in unifying the explanation of shared morphological exponents, positing a... This book presents new data and a formal analysis of the inflectional system and syntax of Kayardild, a typologically striking language of Northern Au...

Offering new insights to long-standing puzzles in the derivation of argument-structure, referential, and clausal nominals, the book promotes a single structure-building mechanism, which allows nominalizers to attach at different heights in the clausal spine to derive nominals with different morphosyntactic...

The Navajo Progressive in Discourse: A Study in Temporal Semantics
ISBN: 9780820425368 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the question of how linguistic categories may influence thinking, with respect to the perception of time. Investigating the verb system of Navajo, the author determines that the notion of aspect is crucial; she describes one category, the Progressive, as it is used in various types of discourse. She concludes that, as studies of color terms and perception have shown, no direct link can be established between language categories and ways of perceiving the world, and yet there exist -idealized cognitive models- which suggest important differences between linguistic groups."

The Missionary Factor in Ethiopia: Papers from a Symposium on the Impact of European Missions on Ethiopian Society, Lund University, August 1996
ISBN: 9783631332597 / Angielski / Miękka / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. European, not the least Scandinavian, mission societies have played an important role in shaping modern Ethiopia and Eritrea. In spite of this the long-term impact on Ethiopian society by European missions has not yet received much attention. The predominance of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in society and nation makes Ethiopia an exception in the history of European missions, and raises questions of an ecumenical character, which need more attention. Present tension in Ethiopia between Orthodox and Evangelicals, and the tendency to identifiy Christian affiliation with ethnic identity,...

Saints, Biographies and History in Africa- Saints, Biographies Et Histoire En Afrique- Heilige, Biographien Und Geschichte in Afrika
ISBN: 9783631364987 / Angielski / Miękka / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although in the African societies the term -holy- lets one think immediately of monotheistic religions, here it is related to every person who maintains a supernaturally mediating relation to the Godly sphere. Saints, as dilettantes with special vocation and instructions, interfere in particular fields with actual professionals. Apart of that, they intervene with general instructions and demands in the lives of all members of their community: In relation to the supernatural with the medicine man, shamans, concerning the divine with the priests and religious scholars, socially and politically...

The Role of Phonology and Phonetics in Loanword Adaptation: German and French Front Rounded Vowels in Japanese
ISBN: 9783631590058 / Angielski / Miękka / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do loanword adaptations apply on a phonological or a phonetic level? This study addresses this issue by investigating the adaptation of German and French loanwords and proper names with front rounded vowels into Japanese. The adaptation forms of front rounded vowels are analysed from a phonological and a phonetic perspective. Both the phonological and the phonetic analysis can account for part of the data, but neither alone is able to account for all the adaptation forms of German and French front rounded vowels in Japanese. It is shown that adaptations are complex processes determined by a...

Esperanto-English Dictionary: Esperanta-Angla Vortaro
ISBN: 9781782010067 / Esperanto / Twarda / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The most complete Esperanto dictionary is the "Plena Ilustrita Vortaro," which is available both online and in printed format; but since the PIV is entirely in Esperanto, the need for a modern Esperanto-to-English dictionary remains keen for many Esperantists. Paul Denisowski's "Esperanto-English Dictionary" can help fill a part of that need, on the...
