Download or read book In Defiance of Painting written by Christine Poggi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.

This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours d’une brève visite dans un pays étranger, un observateur intelligent peut, jusqu’à un certain point, reconnaître les besoins intellectuels, moraux, spirituels d’une population, mais c’est seulement par un séjour prolongé parmi eux, que ces besoins peuvent être reconnus avec précision. Nos rapports quotidiens avec la population de Huahine renforcèrent ses appels à notre sympathie et à nos efforts : nos premières entrevues les avaient déjà provoqués. Toutefois, aussi longtemps que nous sommes restés incapables de nous adresser à eux dans leur propre langue, nous sentions que tout ce que nous pouvions faire, c’était de leur montrer un bon exemple ; mais dès que nous eûmes acquis une connaissance suffisante de la langue indigène pour entreprendre une instruction publique, en même temps que tour à tour, nous nous acquittions de nos obligations régulières à notre station de Pare, nous établîmes des missions en différents points de l’île.

Download or read book Functional Syntax and Universal Grammar written by William A. Foley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-09-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key argument of this book, originally published in 1984, is that when human beings communicate with each other by means of a natural language they typically do not do so in simple sentences but rather in connected discourse - complex expressions made up of a number of clauses linked together in various ways. A necessary precondition for intelligible discourse is the speaker's ability to signal the temporal relations between the events that are being discussed and to refer to the participants in those events in such a way that it is clear who is being talked about. A great deal of the grammatical machinery in a language is devoted to this task, and Functional Syntax and Universal Grammar explores how different grammatical systems accomplish it. This book is an important attempt to integrate the study of linguistic form with the study of language use and meaning. It will be of particular interest to field linguists and those concerned with typology and language universals, and also to anthropologists involved in the study of language function.

Download or read book la recherche de la Polyn sie d autrefois Volume 1 written by William Ellis and published by Société des Océanistes. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 945 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après l’Ancient Tahiti et le Journal de James Morrison, la présentation en français des Polynesian Researches d’Ellis était une des ambitions de la Société des Océanistes. Ce texte si important se devait d’être entre les mains des étudiants et des chercheurs intéressés par l’histoire du Pacifique et de ses civilisations. Un de nos membres, dont la générosité égale la modestie, à défaut de pouvoir lui-même tenir la plume comme il l’avait fait pour l’œuvre de Teuira Henry, nous permit de mettre en chantier cette traduction d’Ellis. Quatre volumes de plus de 400 pages chacun !... Ce n’était pas là une petite affaire. Divers incidents de parcours vinrent, de plus, retarder l’œuvre entreprise et obliger pratiquement à une révision totale de l’interprétation initiale pour mieux serrer le texte et proposer au lecteur une traduction aussi lisible et aussi exacte que possible.

Download or read book Argument Realization written by Miriam Butt and published by Center for the Study of Language and Information Publica Tion. This book was released on 2000 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents seven essays that survey fundamental argument realization issues within a typologically broad range of languages. The papers examine, within the architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), the variety of ways in which arguments of a predicate may be realized in the syntax. LFG allows for the complex interactions of arguments, syntactic positions and grammatical functions. Regardless of the complexity or simplicity of the predicational structure of a clause, the papers included show how the relationship between arguments and their overt realization can be dealt with. The papers also treat multiple case marking in Australian languages, possessor alternation in Welsh, directional complex predicates in American Indian languages and causatives in Japanese. They discuss representational issues that encompass underspecification and the encoding of semantic information needed to determine the correspondence of thematic arguments to their overt syntactic realization.

Book excerpt: Der Sammelband umfasst Beiträge, die sich mit dem sprachlichen Verhalten fortgeschrittener Lerner einer fremden Sprache beschäftigen. In der Zweitspracherwerbsforschung hat man sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten vornehmlich mit den frühen Stadien beschäftigt. Im Gegensatz zu den frühen Stadien ist das sprachliche Verhalten fortgeschrittener Lerner wesentlich schwieriger zu untersuchen, da ein Komplex ganz unterschiedlicher Faktoren dieses Verhalten bestimmt. Durch die in den letzten Jahren viel diskutierten korpuslinguistischen Methoden können Gesetzmäßigkeiten des sprachlichen Verhaltens präzise beschrieben werden.
