ISBN: 9780820430362 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is mainly based on written data obtained from the local Chinese press collected systematically over a period of two years since late 1992. While previous studies on code-mixing between Cantonese and English in Hong Kong tend to emphasize sociolinguistic motivations, this book presents evidence that much of the code-mixing behaviour, be it in print or in speech, may be traced back to linguistic motivations at work resulting from sustained contact between Cantonese, modern...

ISBN: 9783631357316 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The need of the national language Setswana to participate actively in society, politics and democratisation as both national language and lingua franca of Botswana, has caused language domination and suffocation on the part of the 25 or so minority languages. As a result, these languages are now going through a process of language shift and death. Consequently, their cultures, too, suffer great losses in order to keep pace with the mainstream society.
The aim of the book is threefold: (a) to inform the large public, both local and international, about the sociolinguistic and related... The need of the national language Setswana to participate actively in society, politics and democratisation as both national language and lingua franc...

ISBN: 9783631614945 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is not often that we can observe language change in a language over a period of more than one thousand years. Nobiin-Nubian is the only language of the Nilo-Saharan phylum amongst African languages where this is possible. This book analyzes processes of language change and grammaticalization in this language based on textual evidence from Old Nobiin, written between the 8th and the 15th century, as well as from Modern Nobiin. At the same time the study of the non-religious texts in Old Nobiin gives new insights into history, culture and society of Medieval Nubia. As so far most of the work...

Die Turkei kann besonders nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion als Sonderkandidat der bisherigen Erweiterungspolitik bezeichnet werden. Es ist daher von grosstem...
