German Linguistics in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
ISBN: 9780415108003 / Angielski / Twarda / 4000 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Growing interest in the history of linguistics in recent years has focused attention on the origin and development of key concepts in modern linguistic thought. German linguists played key roles in that development - so much so that by the end of the 19th century Germany had emerged as the undisputed centre of European linguistics. The history of linguistics is often thought of in terms of a progression from the speculative and normative concerns of the 18th century (linked with names like Herder and Gottsched) to the avowedly scientific programmes of the 19th century associated with Franz...

The Translator As Communicator
ISBN: 9780415117364 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By taking an integrated approach to the practice of translation, the authors present a contribution to translation theory. They argue that the division of the subject into literary and non-literary, technical and non-technical and so on, is unhelpful and misleading. Instead of dwelling on these differentials, the authors focus on what common ground exists between these distinctions. Through their investigation into how, for example, the bible translator and the simultaneous interpreter can learn from each other, sets of parameters begin to evolve. The proposed model is presented through a...

Language and Linguistics: Key Nineteenth-Century Journal Sources in Linguistics
ISBN: 9780415122061 / Angielski / Twarda / 1600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 19th century linguistics had not yet become the highly technical subject which it was to be in the century following. Debates on linguistic issues could still be followed by non-specialists and discussed in terms accessible to the educated public. This public in turn did not hesitate to make up its own mind about the questions put before it by linguists. Hence it is not surprising to find general periodicals devoting considerably more attention to language, particularly in the latter half of the period, than has probably ever been the case before or since.

The the story of English is often presented as one of progress - from a set of Germanic dialects to a fully-fledged national and international language.

Topics include: the history of English, from Old English to the present day; the development of English as a world language; grammar, accents, style shifting and codeswitching; and the notion of good and bad English.

Other features of the text include: a look at the theory and methodology of linguistic historiography; a consideration of the major changes in writing...

Women, Language and Linguistics : Three American Stories from the First Half of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780415133159 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Women have always been a dynamic force in American linguistics, yet this has not always been apparent in current histories of linguistics. For 20th-century linguistics, this text argues, the same story has been told over and over: a story of leading men, their followers, and their interest in language as a structure observable in patterns of the distribution of forms. This text challenges this received history by presenting a re-evaluation of 20th-century American linguistics which focuses on the contributions of women to our modern understanding of language. This book relates an account of...

ISBN: 9780415138499 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Negative polarity is one of the more elusive aspects of linguistics and a subject which has been gaining in importance in recent years. Written from within the well-defined theoretical frameword of Generalized Quantifiers, the three main areas considered in this study are: collocations, polarity items, and multiple negations. It takes into account not only semantic and syntactic considerations but also, to a large extent, pragmatic ones, illustrating a wide range of linguistic approaches.
