Paradigms of Reading: Relevance Theory and Deconstruction
ISBN: 9780333968338 / Angielski / Twarda / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Linguistic signs do not coincide with intended or interpreted meanings. For relevance theory, this theoretical commonplace merely demonstrates the inferential nature of language. For Paul de Man, on the contrary, it suggested that language is unstable, random, arbitrary, mechanical, ironic and inhuman. This book seeks to show that relevance theory is a more plausible account of communication, cognition and literary interpretation than the deconstructionist theory de Man elaborated from readings of Rousseau, Hegel and Nietzsche.

The Japanese Copula: Forms and Functions
ISBN: 9780333969205 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this innovative study, Professor Narahara offers a multi-disciplinary description of the Japanese copula, revealing it to be at the interface of morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Most striking is her discovery of the copula's function to express the speaker's knowledge or ignorance about the proposition of the sentence. She provides a new morphological feature analysis to derive this modal function and further proposes a series of unified accounts for a wide range of discourse phenomena.

ISBN: 9780333993408 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are there common specific patterns in the Tense-Mood-Aspect systems of Creoles?

Linguistic Meaning, Truth Conditions and Relevance
ISBN: 9780333995730 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The main argument of this book is that the notion of truth plays no role in speaker-hearers' interpretation of linguistic utterances and that it is not needed for theoretical accounts of linguistic meaning either. The theoretical argument is developed in the first part, while the second part supports it with cognitive relevance-theoretic, rather than truth-based, analyses of the 'concessive' expressions but, although and even if .

ISBN: 9780340592670 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Incessantly cited by critics, Bakhtin's work none the less remains relatively unavailable: partly through lack of suitable editions, partly because no individual text conveys all the key concepts or arguments. This anthology provides in a convenient format a good selection of the writing by Bakhtin and of that attributed to Voloshinov and Medvedev. It introduces readers to the aspects most relevant to literary and cultural studies and gives a focused sense of Bakhtin's central ideas and the underlying cohesiveness of his thinking.

Access to large corpuses of English has allowed scholars to assess the minutiae of linguistic change with much greater precision than before, often pinpointing the beginnings of linguistic innovations in place and time. The author uses the findings from this research to relate major historical events to change in the language, in particular to areas of linguistic inquiry that have been of particular importance in recent years, such as discourse analysis, stylistics and work on pidgins and creoles. The book does not attempt to...

Inner Speech - L2: Thinking Words in a Second Language
ISBN: 9780387245775 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to explore inner speech and its connections to second language (L2) learning. Inner speech, or silent self-directed speaking, enables the faculty to think words and is the main instrument for verbal thought. Inner speech originates in first language (L1) social discourse and develops in childhood through a process of internalization. In this book, it is postulated that, given certain conditions of L2 learning, it is possible to develop L2 inner speech as a result of the interiorization of L2 social speech. Inner speech has been quite extensively investigated from...

Information Technology in Languages for Specific Purposes: Issues and Prospects
ISBN: 9780387285955 / Angielski / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I first used the Internet in fall 1993, as a Fulbright Scholar at Charles University in Prague. I immediately recognized that the Internet would radically transform second language teaching and learning, and within a year had written my first book on the topic, E-Mail for English Teaching. The book galvanized a wave of growing interest in the relationship of the Internet to language learning, and was soon followed by many more books on the topic by applied linguists or educators. This volume, though, represents one of the first that specifically analyzes the relationship of new technologies...

The Many Faces of Imitation in Language Learning
ISBN: 9780387968858 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book we take a fresh look at imitation. With the knowledge of some 20 years of research after Chomsky's initial critique of the behavioristic approach to language learning, it is time to explore imitation once again. How imitation is viewed in this book has changed greatly since the 1950s and can only be under stood by reading the various contributions. This reading reveals many faces, many forms, many causes, and many functions of imitation-cognitive, social, information processing, learning, and biological. Some views are far removed from the notion that an imitation must occur...

Child's Talk: Learning to Use Language
ISBN: 9780393953459 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To carry out his investigations, Bruner went to "the clutter of life at home," the child's own setting for learning, rather than observing children in a "contrived video laboratory." For Bruner, language is learned by using it. An central to its use are what he calls "formats," scriptlike interactions between mother and child--in short, play and games. What goes on in games as rudimentary as peekaboo or hide-and-seek can tell us much about language acquisition. But what aids the aspirant speaker in his attempt to use language? To answer this, the author postulates the existence of a...
