The Semantics and Pragmatics of Demonstratives in English and Arabic
ISBN: 9783659128295 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research investigates the semantics and pragmatics of demonstratives in two languages, English and Arabic, within the framework of relevance theory.

The Syntactic Evolution of Modal Verbs in the History of English
ISBN: 9783659163388 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this work, we question the status of modal verbs in the history of English mainly from a minimalist and Distributed Morphology point of views. We propose the existence of a specific syntactic position for preterite-present verbs (which are the ancestors of the present-day modal verbs) in Old English and show that they are raising verbs. We then underline the grammaticalisation of modal verbs as early as the late Old English period. We base our hypotheses on the analysis of infinitive structures (among which causative structures), negation (negative concord, Neg criterion and negative...
