Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: sehr gut, University of Flensburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Project Work Linguistics, language: English, abstract: There are a number of different types of lexical relations which can be analyzed in a semantic field. One lexeme can be in a number of these relations, therefore, the lexicon can be described as a network of words, rather than a list similar to a dictionary. The lexical field is a key principle the lexicon is organized by. One of these lexical fields is watercraft. As a continuation of my paper “A semantic analyses of the lexical field vehicles” and because of my interest in sailing, I decided to analyze in my project work the lexical field watercraft. I will start by analyzing synonymous, hyponymic, meronymic, polysemous, and homonymous relations in chapter 2. After this analysis of sense relations, I will continue my research with a closer look at prototype theory. For this purpose I will do a Goodness-of-Exemplar survey with a group of 50 participants. Following a general look at prototype theory in the lexical field of watercraft, I will analyze the results of the survey. Because there are a lot of technical terms involved in this lexical field, the reader can find a list of translations and explanations of various lexemes in the appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a complete guide to analyzing literary works, from an introduction of basic principles to the finer details. Separated into three sections, the book covers: • Principles—this looks at what literary analysis is, its three main components, and the various possible objects of analysis. • Main components—introduces nearly 30 aspects of text analysis, such as style, themes, social aspects, and context, and then goes on to introduce nearly 50 approaches, such as literary history, ecocriticism, narratology, and sociology. • The process of analysis—details the general structure of the analytical text, the structure of a pedagogical essay, the analysis of a theoretical element, possible “plans” for the analytical text, methods of argumentation, statements of opinion, hypotheses, the structure of paragraphs, and the use of citations. This book is a synthesis of established scholarship with new, original insights, making it an ideal introduction to the study of literature as well as a valuable companion throughout further study.

Download or read book Contemporary Boat Migration written by Elaine Burroughs and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores contemporary migration by boat through the intertwined, and under-explored, elements of empirical data, governance and geopolitics, and discourses. While the migration of people by boat is a long-standing phenomenon, journeys have become more frequent and precarious as states illegalise entry. As migration at sea becomes more common, it has gained attention from a range of actors, including enforcement authorities, political elites, media, and non/inter-governmental organizations. The sea has thus become a space of hope/desperation for migrants as well as conflict over territory and sovereignty, representing wider social debates in and beyond Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States. Current literature on migration by boat reflects these debates, primarily concentrating on the humanitarian and legal realities of migration by boat and border enforcement at sea , however, few studies have analysed their empirical relationship. This edited volume aims to fill this gap and thereby address three important, overlapping aspects of these debates. The first theme will explore data and methods on migration by boat, its discourse, and its enforcement, and in addition identifying appropriate research methodologies and sources to gather these data. The second theme will build upon the first by focusing on the relationship between data on migration by boat and governance and geopolitics of the “border”. Building upon the two themes already outlined,the third theme will identify and analyse how elite discourses represent migration at sea.

Download or read book Language and the Lexicon written by David Singleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lexicon represents the building blocks of language: words and vocabulary. Most of us think of language in terms of words, and words are also integral to the way in which linguists approach language as an object of study. The lexicon and lexical issues must be taken in consideration in every domain of language study and, conversely, the lexicon cannot be viewed in isolation from other aspects of language. 'Language and the Lexicon' provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of lexicology, introducing the reader to the lexicon by exploring the lexical aspects of a range of different areas of language: syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, language variation, language change, language acquisition and language processing. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, the book introduces the key concepts employing examples from a wide variety of languages in order to illustrate the points made. This book is ideally suited to those approaching lexicology for the first time. With its wide breadth of focus and diverse topics, it can equally serve as a first introduction to linguistics.

Download or read book The Novel in the Spanish Silver Age written by José Calvo Tello and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What distinguishes an adventure novel from a historical novel? Can the same text belong to several genres? More to one than to another? Have some existing genres been overlooked? To answer these and similar questions, José Calvo Tello combines methods from Linguistics (lexicography), Literary Studies (genre theory), and Computer Science (machine learning, natural language processing). Located in the interdisciplinary field of Digital Humanities, this study analyzes a newly developed corpus of 358 Spanish novels of the silver age (1880-1939), which includes authors like Baroja, Pardo Bazán, or Valle-Inclán. Calvo Tello's key result is a graph-based model of literary genre that reconciles recent theoretical approaches.
