Re-reading Saussure : The Dynamics of Signs in Social Life
ISBN: 9780415104104 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through a re-reading of Saussures's work in the light of contemporary developments in the human, life and physical sciences, Paul Thibault presents a means to redefine and refocus the theories of social meaning-making. Saussure's theory of language is generally considered to be a formal theory of abstract sign-types and sign-systems, separate from our individual and social practices of making meaning. Paying close attention to the original texts, including the Cours de Linguistic Generale, he demonstrates that Saussure was centrally concerned with trying to formulate a theory of how meanings...

Time in Language
ISBN: 9780415104128 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why is it awkward to say that "Napoleon has been dead" in lieu of "Napoleon was dead?" What aspect of "John has arrived at seven o'clock" leaves an odd ring in the ears and mind? Why do languages often depend on redundant expressions in order to convey temporality and temporal shifts?
In "Time in Language," Wolfgang Klein examines these questions and others in this original study of the ways in which time encodes itself within language. Casting a penetrating look at problems of tense and aspect, the present perfect puzzle, the duration puzzle, and the semantics of temporal expressions,...

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...

ISBN: 9780415119535 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection shows students of English and applied linguistics ways in which language and literary study can be integrated.

Among the texts examined are novels, poetry and drama by major twentieth-century...

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.

English: History, Diversity and Change
ISBN: 9780415131179 / Angielski / Twarda / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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.
