This volume, the second in a series, is specifically concerned with the problems and possibilities of adapting a writing system to another language. Writing is studied as it is used across linguistic and cultural borders from ancient Egyptian, Cuneiform and Korean writing to Japanese, Kharosthi and Near Eastern scripts.

Studies in Germanic, Indo-European and Indo-Uralic
ISBN: 9789042031357 / Angielski / Twarda / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The red thread which runs through this book is a quest for relative chronology of linguistic developments. The probability of a reconstruction can be judged against the background of the transitions which it implies for the linguistic system as a whole. The reconstructions are always bottom-up, never top-down. It follows that the chapters on Germanic can be read without reference to the Indo-European background and that the Indo-Uralic part of the book can be left out of consideration if one does not want to look beyond Proto-Indo-European. The initial chapters of the book offer an...

Between Sarmatia and Socialism: The Life and Works of Johannes Bobrowski
ISBN: 9789042007567 / Angielski / Miękka / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Interest in Johannes Bobrowski (1917-1965) has suffered from an impression of the complexity of his works and of the narrowness of his focus: on 'The Germans and their Eastern European neighbours'. The current study re-examines aspects of Bobrowski's 'Sarmatian' works, especially their chronological development, but places them within the wider context of the whole of his oeuvre. It looks at the long period of development before he discovered his 'theme' in the early 1950s and examines his development after Sarmatische Zeit and Schattenland Strome, seeing the volume Wetterzeichen as moving...

Sémantique et diachronie du système verbal français
ISBN: 9789042021334 / Francuski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Le systeme verbal du francais contemporain resulte d'une evolution seculaire et l'examen diachronique des valeurs de chacune des formes contribue a la comprehension de la semantique verbale contemporaine. Parallelement, l'etude diachronique du systeme verbal francais ne peut se dispenser d'examiner la repartition des valeurs semantiques sur les formes (avec la diversite d'interpretations contextuelles qu'elles engendrent) au cours de leur evolution. Toutefois, bien que complementaires, semantique et diachronie sont rarement conjointes dans la recherche. Par sa conjonction entre etudes...

Multi-word Verbs in Early Modern English: A Corpus-basesd Study
ISBN: 9789042004498 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The topic of this book fits in with the recently growing interest in phraseology and fixedness in English. It offers a description of multi-word verbs in the language of the 17th and 18th centuries, an important formative period for Modern English. For the first time, multi-word verbs are treated together as a group, as it is argued that phrasal verbs, prepositional verbs, phrasal-prepositional verbs, verb-adjective combinations and verbo-nominal combinations share defining characteristics. These characteristics are also reflected in similar possibilities of usage, in particular the subtle...

ISBN: 9789004224070 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Genealogical linguistics and areal linguistics are rarely treated from an integrated perspective even if they are twin faces of diachronic linguistics.

The result is a wealth of empirical facts and different theoretical approaches, advanced by internationally renowned specialists and young scholars whose research is highly pertinent to the topic. Copies versus Cognates in Bound Morphology puts genealogical and areal explanation for shared morphology in a balanced perspective...

Negotiating Positions: Literature, Identity and Social Critique in the Works of Wolfgang Koeppen
ISBN: 9789042015760 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study offers new perspectives on Wolfgang Koeppen, a writer too often consigned to the margins of post-1945 literary history. Examining the interaction of the personal and the social in Koeppen's writings, this book demonstrates that the politics of his works are inherent to their form. Through a series of close readings, the book explores the positive and negative aspects of liminality, a dominant trope in Koeppen's works. Stressing the thematic and formal continuities of his oeuvre, the first section illustrates how his protagonists perpetually establish a space for themselves 'in...

Speaking the Taboo: A Study of the Work of Wolfgang Hilbig
ISBN: 9789042015425 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wolfgang Hilbig is a writer who is widely acknowledged as one of the most important to have emerged from the former GDR. In this study, the first in English, Paul Cooke explores the interplay of aesthetic and social 'taboos', as defined by the official discourse of the GDR, in a cross-section of Hilbig's critical writing, poetry and prose. The protagonists in Hilbig's texts suffer from a profound crisis of identity due to the disparity between the state's official presentation of life in the East and their own experience. Cooke argues that through their exploration of the 'taboo', i.e. that...
