The Writing Center as Cultural and Interdisciplinary Contact Zone
ISBN: 9781137540935 / Angielski / Twarda / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing centers are complex.

ISBN: 9783319410777 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph on indirect reports offers insights on the semantics/pragmatics interface and a refinement of the notion of explicature. The volume is written in an engaging style and guides the reader through the theoretical problems and their ramifications. The thorniest problem in the study of indirect reports is their polyphonic nature, and how the listener distinguishes between the reporter s voice and the original speaker s voice, either by contextual clues or, in the absence of such clues, by resorting to pragmatic principles. The introductory chapter discusses the main issues that will...
