Investigating Variation: The Effects of Social Organization and Social Setting
ISBN: 9780195385922 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Linguistic variation has been studied primarily in communities with the dominant social organization of our time: ethnic diversity, socioeconomic stratification, and a population size that precludes community-wide face-to-face interaction. In such communities variation correlates with ethnicity and class. Investigating Variation explores a different kind of social structure: small size, dense kinship ties, common occupation, and absence of social stratification. In the community investigated here, social homogeneity and constant face-to-face interaction made accommodation...

Henry Jenner's Handbook of the Cornish Language
ISBN: 9781904808374 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This new edition of Jenner's classic "Handbook of the Cornish Language" appears more than a century after the book's first publication. Now that the Cornish Revival has weathered many storms, it is well worth making Jenner's ground-breaking work available again, copies of the 1904 edition having become rare and expensive. The book is not a mere facsimile. It contains phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), to assist the modern reader in understanding exactly which sounds Jenner was recommending. It also includes three articles he published between 1873 and 1877,...

Tense and Aspect in Informal Welsh
ISBN: 9783110227963 / Angielski / Twarda / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book provides a descriptive account of the semantics of three grammatical areas in informal Welsh: inflections of finite verbs, perfect aspect, and progressive aspect. The analyses distinguish context-independent primary meanings from other meanings which are due to implications and contextual effects. The inflections convey factuality, tense, (morphological) aspect, and habituality, but the inflections and their meanings are differently distributed over different sorts of verbs. The analysis of factuality outlines different sorts of counterfactual situations, and discusses...

Wörterbuch Irisch-Deutsch

Jahrhundert wurde in Irland ausschlielich Irisch gesprochen, doch die Vormacht des Englischen und die Abwanderung der Bevolkerung im 19. Jahrhundert fuhrten zu einem drastischen Verfall.

Laut Verfassung ist Irisch erste Amtssprache der Republik Irland und wird seit 1922 an den Schulen unterrichtet. Die Grammatik ist standardisiert; eine Reform der komplizierten Rechtschreibung wird angestrebt. Gegenwartig kann man ein stark zunehmendes...

Minority Language Dubbing for Children; Screen Translation from German to Irish
ISBN: 9783039100118 / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many minority languages like Irish have tended to survive best in isolated areas while their use has been restricted primarily to domestic, educational and social domains. This has had a negative effect on the development of these languages, especially with regard to new terminology. However, the increasing availability of audiovisual material, dubbed into these languages, is now opening up exciting new ways of providing linguistic stimulation to scattered communities of minority language speakers. Since it is the younger generation that must carry a language into the future, this study...

ISBN: 9783484429161 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Old Irish is the language of Ireland in the period from the 8th to the 10th century AD, and is the oldest Celtic language well enough attested for adequate grammatical study. The book provides the only available detailed linguistic analysis of the syntactic structure of the Old Irish sentence. The basic form of the simple sentence, with the usual order of elements, verb-subject-object, is unproblematic from a synchronic viewpoint, but certain sentence types show more complex patterns of syntax, which have important implications for the typological, diachronic and comparative-historical...
