Download or read book El espa ol en Am rica written by Azucena Palacios Alcaine and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2008 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los estudios dialectales sobre el español en el continente americano han omitido casi de manera sistemática la influencia de las lenguas amerindias, del portugués y del inglés en el español regional. El español en América cubre esta carencia mediante la revisión de los procesos de variación y cambio lingüístico acaecidos en el español hablado en Hispanoamérica a raíz del contacto con otras lenguas. Los autores han bosquejado la compleja realidad lingüística de cada área, resaltando los aspectos lingüísticos y sociolingüísticos que obedecen, en última instancia, al contacto de lenguas. Esta perspectiva permite una descripción de conjunto rigurosa y metódica de las situaciones de contacto lingüístico inédita hasta el momento, que será de obligada referencia para estudiantes e investigadores que quieran abundar en el estudio del contacto de lenguas en el ámbito hispano.

This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El contacto lingüístico es uno de los grandes temas de la sociolingüística. Cuando dos lenguas distintas o dos variedades de una misma lengua entran en contacto por motivos históricos, sociales o culturales, se presentan fenómenos muy interesantes que afectan a ambas lenguas o variedades. Estos fenómenos suelen estar influídos no solo por aspectos lingüísticos sino también por cuestiones extralingüísticas como el sexo, la edad, el grado de instrucción y el nivel socioeconómico de los hablantes, al igual que por sus creencias y actitudes.

Download or read book Variedades del espa ol en contacto con otras lenguas written by Élodie Blestel and published by Peter Lang D. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los contextos sociohistóricos y culturales en los que se han desarrollado las distintas variedades de la lengua española -contacto con otras lenguas romances y/o extrarrománicas, situaciones de heterogeneidad lingüística, bilingüismo, diglosias, etc.- han dado lugar a situaciones complejas y dinámicas que resultan de una multitud de factores sociales y lingüísticos cuya influencia es difícil de separar. Es por eso que necesitamos trabajos de campo rigurosos basados en datos de habla natural contextualizados que permitan proponer explicaciones más satisfactorias de los fenómenos de contacto lingüístico. Esta obra reúne a investigadores que intentan mostrar que la finalidad de los cambios inducidos por contacto suele obedecer a estrategias comunicativas que permiten una mejor explotación de los recursos lingüísticos que el hablante bilingüe/plurilingüe tiene a su alcance.

Download or read book Incipient Productivity written by Arne Zeschel and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do speakers vary established patterns of language use and adapt them to novel contexts of application? This study presents a usage-based approach to linguistic creativity: combining detailed qualitative with large-scale quantitative analyses of corpus data, it traces the emergence of partial productivity in clusters of conventional collocations. Focusing on English and German intensification constructions, it proceeds in three steps: having first inventoried the lexical means (of a given semantic type) that are recruited for signalling intensity in both languages, collostructional analysis is then used to identify entrenched intensity collocations involving these formatives in three different syntactic constructions. Third, multi-rater manual classification methods as well as distribution-based automatic classification methods are employed to uncover semantic generalisations over the attested types on different levels of abstraction. Collocational expansion is shown to proceed through local analogies within sets of semantically similar stored instances of a construction. Synthesising insights from research on language acquisition, variation and change, it is thus argued that creative extensions of linguistic conventions are intrinsically bound up with aspects of memory and repetition.
Download or read book The Grammar of Expressivity written by Daniel Gutzmann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a detailed account of the syntax of expressive language, that is, utterances that express, rather than describe, the emotions and attitudes of the speaker. While the expressive function of natural language has been widely studied in recent years, the role that grammar plays in the interpretation of expressive items has been largely neglected in the semantic and pragmatic literature. Daniel Gutzmann demonstrates that expressivity has strong syntactic reflexes that interact with the semantic and pragmatic interpretation of these utterances, and argues that expressivity is in fact a syntactic feature on a par with other established features such as tense and gender. Evidence for this claim is drawn from three detailed case studies of expressive adjectives, intensifiers, and vocatives; their puzzling properties are accounted for through a minimalist approach to syntactic features and agreement, which shows that expressivity can partake in agreement operations, trigger movement, and be selected for syntactically. The analysis not only supports the hypothesis of expressive syntax, but also highlights the hidden role that grammar may play in phenomena that are traditionally considered to be solely semantic in nature.
Download or read book Metalanguage in Interaction written by Yael Maschler and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Metalanguage in Interaction" is about the crystallization of metalanguage employed throughout interaction into the discourse markers which permeate talk. Based on close analysis of naturally-occurring Hebrew conversation, it is a synchronic study of the grammaticization of discourse markers, a phenomenon until now mostly studied from a diachronic perspective. It constitutes the first monograph in the fields of Hebrew interactional linguistics and Hebrew discourse markers. The book first presents what is unique to the present approach to discourse markers and gives them an operational definition. Discourse markers are explored as a system, illuminating their patterning in terms of function, structure, and the moments in interaction at which they are employed. Next, detailed analysis of four Hebrew discourse markers illuminates not only the functions and grammaticization patterns of these markers, but also what they reveal about quintessential aspects of Israeli society, identity, and culture. The conclusion discusses commonalities and differences in the grammaticization patterns of the four markers, and relates the grammaticization of discourse markers from interaction to projectability in discourse.

Download or read book Cultural Tourism written by bob Mckercher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine cultural tourism issues from both sides of the industry! Unique in concept and content, Cultural Tourism: The Partnership Between Tourism and Cultural Heritage Management examines the relationship between the sectors that represent opposite sides of the cultural tourism coin. While tourism professionals assess cultural assets for their profit potential, cultural heritage professionals judge the same assets for their intrinsic value. Sustainable cultural tourism can only occur when the two sides form a true partnership based on understanding and appreciation of each other's merits. The authors--one, a tourism specialist, the other, a cultural heritage management expert--present a model for a working partnership with mutual benefits, integrating management theory and practice from both disciplines. Cultural Tourism is the first book to combine the different perspectives of tourism management and cultural heritage management. It examines the role of tangible (physical evidence of culture) and intangible (continuing cultural practices, knowledge, and living experiences) heritage, describes the differences between cultural tourism products and cultural heritage assets, and develops a number of conceptual models, including a classification system for cultural tourists, indicators of tourism potential at cultural and heritage assets, and assessment criteria for cultural and heritage assets with tourism potential. Cultural Tourism examines the five main constituent elements involved in cultural tourism: cultural and heritage assets in tourism sites such as the Royal Palace in Bangkok, the Cook Islands, and Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco. tourism--what it is, how it works, and what makes it a success five different types of cultural tourists consumption of products, value adding, and commodification integrating the first four elements to satisfy the tourist, meet the needs of the tourism industry, and conserve the intrinsic value of the asset Though tourism and cultural heritage management professionals have mutual interests in the management, conservation, and presentation of cultural and heritage assets, the two sectors operate on parallel planes, maintaining an uneasy partnership with surprisingly little dialogue. Cultural Tourism provides professionals and students in each field with a better understanding of their own roles in the partnership, bridging the gap via sound planning, management, and marketing to produce top-quality, long-lasting cultural tourism products.

Download or read book Student Engagement in the Digital University written by Lesley Gourlay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student Engagement in the Digital University challenges mainstream conceptions and assumptions about students’ engagement with digital resources in Higher Education. While engagement in online learning environments is often reduced to sets of transferable skills or typological categories, the authors propose that these experiences must be understood as embodied, socially situated, and taking place in complex networks of human and nonhuman actors. Using empirical data from a JISC-funded project on digital literacies, this book performs a sociomaterial analysis of student–technology interactions, complicating the optimistic and utopian narratives surrounding technology and education today and positing far-reaching implications for research, policy and practice.
Download or read book Designing Transformation written by Elana Shapira and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish designers and architects played a key role in shaping the interwar architecture of Central Europe, and in the respective countries where they settled following the Nazi's rise to power. This book explores how Jewish architects and patrons influenced and reformed the design of towns and cities through commercial buildings, urban landscaping and other material culture. It also examines how modern identities evolved in the context of migration, commercial and professional networks, and in relation to the conflict between nationalist ideologies and international aspirations in Central Europe and beyond. Pointing to the production within cultural platforms shared by Jews and Christians, the book's research sheds new light on the importance of integrating Jews into Central European design and aesthetic history. Leading historians, curators, archivists and architects present their critical analyses further to 'design' the past and push forward a transformation in the historical consciousness of Central Europe. By reconsidering the seminal role of Central European émigré and exiled architects and designers in shaping today's global design cultures, this book further strengthens humanistic, progressive and pluralistic cultural trends in Europe today.
