Lexical Creativity, Texts and Contexts
ISBN: 9789027215673 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The coining of novel lexical items and the creative manipulation of existing words and expressions is heavily dependent on contextual factors, including the semantic, stylistic, textual and social environments in which they occur. The twelve specialists contributing to this collection aim to illuminate creativity in word formation with respect to functional discourse roles, but also examine critical creativity determined by language policy, as well as diachronic phonetic variation in creatively-coined words. The data, based either on large corpora or smaller hand-collected samples, is drawn...

Complementation in Meanings and Forms
ISBN: 9789027228802 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a stage in the evolution of a theory of modality meanings and forms. It covers exclusively complements. There are two questions that this book addresses. Can one find a small, finite set of meanings which systematically underlies the enormous variety of meanings found in complements? And can one make any predictions from this set of meanings about the variety of forms they take? The answer to both questions is yes. The author convincingly shows how a multiplicity of sentence meanings and forms can be accounted for by breaking down sentence meaning into a small set of...

Charles S. Peirce's Method of Methods
ISBN: 9789027232892 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In all disciplines there are specifiable basic concepts, our universes of discourse, which define special areas of inquiry. Semiotics is that science of sciences which inquires into all processes of inquiry, and which seeks to discover methods of inquiry. Peirce held that semiotics was to be the method of methods. An account of semiotic method should distinguish between the way the term sign is used in semiotics and the various ways this term was meant in nearly all the traditional disciplines. In this monograph Roberta Kevelson minutely explores Charles S. Peirce s method of methods.

ISBN: 9789027218940 / Niemiecki Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Newly edited by Konrad Koerner (University of Ottawa), with an introduction by Clemens Knobloch (Universitat Siegen)The importance of Wegener's Untersuchungen uber die Grundfragen des Sprachlebens can only be compared to that of Karl Buhler's Sprachtheorie. Even now, however, Wegener's work remains virtually unknown to the English speaking world. Wegener's main work was published in 1885. It has its origin in two lectures given in 1883 and 1884 at school teacher meetings held in the Magdeburg area and it still recalls those original occasions and maintains much of the oral style. Part of the...
