Context Construction as Mediated by Discourse Markers: An Adaptive Approach
ISBN: 9789004273825 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From a Darwinian perspective, language is rooted in our neurobiology, and the process whereby interpretation is reached - in the case of argumentative sequences - is not dissimilar to that underlying action selection in response to environmental change: indeed, it arguably involves the same type of decision-making (Damasio 1994). Context construction, as construed by Nyan, corresponds to the preliminary stage of decision-making, when the changed environment needs to be categorised. What discourse markers contribute to context construction is an upgraded level of automation, whereby the degree...

Routledge Library Editions: Semantics and Semiology
ISBN: 9781138697508 / Angielski / Twarda / 3362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Semantics and semiology are two of the most important branches of linguistics and have proven to be fecund areas for research. They examine language structures and how they are dictated by both the meanings and forms of communication employed semantics by focusing on the denotation of words and fixed word combinations, and semiology by studying sign and sign processes. As numerous interrelated fields connect to and sub-disciplines branch off from these major spheres, they are essential to a thorough grounding in linguistics and crucial for further study.
