ISBN: 9780739118269 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Historical Development of Japanese Tone: From Proto-Japanese to the Modern Dialects. the Introduction and Adaptation of the Middle Chinese Tones i
ISBN: 9783447062824 / Angielski / Miękka / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reconstruction of the historical development of the modern Japanese tone systems is one of the major issues in Japanese historical linguistics. The prevalent theory (Kindaichi 1951), which regards the Kyoto type tone system of central Japan as most archaic fails to explain the modern dialect data. In 1979 R.S. Ramsey proposed an alternative theory, which regards the peripheral Tokyo type dialects as archaic. Even though this theory offered a convincing explanation to many problems that remained unsolved in the prevalent theory, it failed to find acceptance. Part I of Elisabeth de Boer's...

ISBN: 9780786470389 / Angielski / Miękka / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Psychotherapy is a scientifically proven form of treatment, and neuroscience has justified hypnosis as a convenient method to train our mind to change our brain.
