Book Current Issues in the Analysis od Semitic Grammar and Lexicon II

Download or read book Current Issues in the Analysis od Semitic Grammar and Lexicon II written by Joachim Hengstl and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Haases Berufsalltag ist die richterliche Praxis gewesen, aus der er seinerzeit als Direktor des Amtsgerichts Leonberg in den Ruhestand getreten ist. Daneben war und ist er der Wissenschaft verbunden, und davon zeugen auch heute noch immer neue Veroffentlichungen, vor allem auf dem Gebiet des altorientalischen Rechts. Am 8. Juli 2006 feiert Richard Haase seinen 85. Geburtstag. Dieser Feiertag ist Anlass, zu seinen Ehren eine Festschrift herauszugeben, welche sein Wirken als Praktiker wie als Wissenschaftler in gleicher Weise wurdigt. "Recht gestern und heute" beschreibt die Tatigkeitsfelder des Jubilars und soll deshalb das Thema sein, abgerundet durch einige weitere Beitrage. "Recht heute" ware freilich uferlos. Die Herausgeber haben deshalb fur diesen Bereich den aktuellen Begriff der "Mediation" als Anknupfungspunkt gewahlt - eine Methode der Konfliktlosung, welche der Jubilar als ehemaliger Richter mit Interesse betrachten durfte. In den Rechten der Antike hat es an entsprechenden Losungen nicht gefehlt, und dies zeichnet sich in mehren Beitragen zu "Recht gestern" ab.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook The Semitic Languages offers a comprehensive reference tool for Semitic Linguistics in its broad sense.

By comprising a chapter on typology and sections with sociolinguistic focus and language contact, the conception of the book aims at a rather complete, unbiased description of the state of the art in Semitics.

The handbook is the most comprehensive treatment of the Semitic language family since many decades.

Book The Politics of Written Language in the Arab World

Download or read book The Politics of Written Language in the Arab World written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Written Language in the Arab World connects the fascinating field of contemporary written Arabic with the central sociolinguistic notions of language ideology and diglossia. Focusing on Egypt and Morocco, the authors combine large-scale survey data on language attitudes with in-depth analyses of actual language usage and explicit (and implicit) language ideology. They show that writing practices as well as language attitudes in Egypt and Morocco are far more receptive to vernacular forms than has been assumed. The individual chapters cover a wide variety of media, from books and magazines to blogs and Tweets. A central theme running through the contributions is the social and political function of “doing informality” in a changing public sphere steadily more permeated by written Arabic in a number of media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Arabic literature is blossoming.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Arabic Linguistics

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Arabic Linguistics written by Jonathan Owens and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabic is one of the world's largest languages, spoken natively by nearly 300 million people. By strength of numbers alone Arabic is one of our most important languages, studied by scholars across many different academic fields and cultural settings. It is, however, a complex language rooted in its own tradition of scholarship, constituted of varieties each imbued with unique cultural values and characteristic linguistic properties. Understanding its linguistics holistically is therefore a challenge. The Oxford Handbook of Arabic Linguistics is a comprehensive, one-volume guide that deals with all major research domains which have been developed within Arabic linguistics. Chapters are written by leading experts in the field, who both present state-of-the-art overviews and develop their own critical perspectives. The Handbook begins with Arabic in its Semitic setting and ends with the modern dialects; it ranges across the traditional - the classical Arabic grammatical and lexicographical traditions--to the contemporary--Arabic sociolinguistics, Creole varieties and codeswitching, psycholinguistics, and Arabic as a second language - while situating Arabic within current phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexicological theory. An essential reference work for anyone working within Arabic linguistics, the book brings together different approaches and scholarly traditions, and provides analysis of current trends and directions for future research.

Book Handbook of Literacy in Diglossia and in Dialectal Contexts

Download or read book Handbook of Literacy in Diglossia and in Dialectal Contexts written by Elinor Saiegh-Haddad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first published collection of papers on the impact of diglossia and dialectal variations on language and literacy acquisition, impairment, and education. The authors are pioneering in this field and are leading researchers with substantial experience in conducting research in this area. A wide range of areas and languages are covered, including the US, South Africa, Israel, and various European countries. The chapters present novel data and insights regarding the role of dialectal variations on language and literacy, from a wide range of countries and perspectives. These insights have significant theoretical and practical implications. A majority of literacy learners worldwide are taught to read and write in a language variety or a dialect that is not the same as their spoken language. Not only is this the global norm, but it is probably also the greatest obstacle to literacy learning. This volume is the first published collection of papers on the role of dialect in language and literacy acquisition, impairment, and education in a variety of languages and situations across Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa, and Asia.The authors are pioneers in this field.

Book Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture

Download or read book Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture written by Jacob Høigilt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic books for adults have become one of the most novel and colourful forms of cultural expression in the Arab world today. During the last ten years, young Arabs have crafted stories explaining issues such as authoritarianism, resistance, war, sex, gender relations and youth culture. These are distributed through informal channels as well as independent bookstores and websites. Events like the annual Cairocomix festival in Egypt and the Mahmoud Kahil Award in Lebanon evidence the importance of this cultural phenomenon. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture focuses on the production of these comics in Egypt and Lebanon, countries at the forefront of the development of the genre for adults. Jacob Hoigilt guides the reader through the emergence of independent comics, explores their social and political critique, and analyses their visual and verbal rhetoric. Analysing more than 50 illustrations, included here, he shows that Arab comics are revealing of the changing attitudes towards politics, social relations and even language. While political analysts often paint a bleak picture of the Arab world after 2011, this book suggests that art and storytelling continue to nourish a spirit of liberty and freedom despite political setbacks. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture provides a fresh and original insight into the politics of the Middle East and cultural expression in the Arab World.

Book The Body in Language

Download or read book The Body in Language written by Matthias Brenzinger and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body in Language: Comparative studies of Linguistic Embodiment provides new insights into the theory of linguistic embodiment in its universal and cultural aspects. The contributions of the volume offer theoretical reflections on grammaticalization, lexical semantics, philosophy, multimodal communication and - by discussing metaphorization and metonymy in figurative language - on cognitive linguistics in general. Case studies contribute first-hand data on embodiment from more than 15 languages and present findings on the body in language in diverse cultures from various continents. Embodiment fundamentally underlies human conceptualization and the present discussions reveal a wide range of target domains in conceptual transfers with the body as the source domain.
