The Play Out of Context: Transferring Plays from Culture to Culture
ISBN: 9780521038683 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume of essays, based mostly on papers presented at the Jerusalem Theater Conference in 1986, examines the relationship between the play and its historical and cultural contexts.

The essays interact with each other, presenting a diversity of views of the central theme and establishing a dialogue among scholars of...

The Languages of Japan
ISBN: 9780521369183 / Angielski / Miękka / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book surveys the two main indigenous languages of Japan, Japanese and Ainu.

The first is the most comprehensive study of the polysynthetic Ainu language yet to appear in English. The second part deals extensively with Japanese. It discusses topics from the evolution of the writing system and the differences between men's and women's speech, to issues of greater theoretical complexity, such as phonology, the lexicon...
