Beyond Ebonics: Linguistic Pride and Racial Prejudice
ISBN: 9780195152890 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The media frenzy surrounding the 1996 resolution by the Oakland School Board brought public attention to the term "Ebonics," however the idea remains a mystery to most. John Baugh, a well-known African-American linguist and education expert, offers an accessible explanation of the origins of the term, the linguistic reality behind the hype, and the politics behind the outcry on both sides of the debate.

Expression in Speech: Analysis and Synthesis
ISBN: 9780199250677 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. All human speech has expression. It is part of the 'humanness' of speech, and is a quality listeners expect to find. Without expression, speech sounds lifeless and artificial. Remove expression, and what's left is the bare bones of the intended message, but none of the feelings which surround the message. The purpose of this book is to present research examining expressive content in speech with a view to simulating expression in computer speech. Human beings communicate expressively with each other in conversation: now in the computer age there is a perceived need for machines to communicate...

By the end of the fifteenth century, Cassandra Fedele (1465-1558), a learned middle-class woman of Venice, was arguably the most famous woman writer and scholar in Europe. A cultural icon in her own time, she regularly corresponded with the king of France, lords of Milan and Naples, the Borgia pope Alexander VI, and even maintained a ten-year epistolary exchange with Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain that resulted in an invitation for her to join their court. Fedele's letters reveal the central, mediating role she occupied in a community of scholars otherwise inaccessible to women....

Political Style: The Artistry of Power
ISBN: 9780226316291 / Angielski / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Robert Hariman demonstrates how matters of style of diction, manners, sensibility, decor, and charisma influence politics.
In critical studies of classic texts, Hariman identifies four dominant political styles. The realist style, as found in Machiavelli's "The Prince," creates a world of sheer power, constant calculation, and emotional control; this style is the common sense of modern political science. The courtly style, depicted in Kapuscinski's "The Emperor," is characterized by high decorousness, hierarchies, and fixation on the body of the sovereign; this style infuses...

"Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are... The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works.

For More Than One Voice: Toward a Philosophy of Vocal Expression
ISBN: 9780804749541 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The human voice does not deceive. The one who is speaking is inevitably revealed by the singular sound of her voice, no matter -what- she says. We take this fact for granted--for example, every time someone asks, over the telephone, -Who is speaking?- and receives as a reply the familiar utterance, -It's me.- Starting from the given uniqueness of every voice, Cavarero rereads the history of philosophy through its peculiar evasion of this embodied uniqueness. She shows how this history--along with the fields it comprehends, such as linguistics, musicology, political theory, and studies in...

The Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition : Volume 4
ISBN: 9780805801064 / Angielski / Twarda / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Continuing the tradition of this series, which has become a standard reference work in language acquisition, Volume 4 contains chapters on three additional languages/language groups - Finnish, Greek and Korean. The chapters are selective, critical reviews rather than exhaustive summaries of the course of development of each language. Authors approach the language in question as a case study in a potential crosslinguistic typology of acquisitional problems, considering those data which continue to issues of general theoretical concern in developmental psycholinguistics and linguistic theory.
