Download or read book The Linguistics of Temperature written by Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 948 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume is the first comprehensive typological study of the conceptualisation of temperature in languages as reflected in their systems of central temperature terms (hot, cold, to freeze, etc.). The key issues addressed here include questions such as how languages categorize the temperature domain and what other uses the temperature expressions may have, e.g., when metaphorically referring to emotions (‘warm words’). The volume contains studies of more than 50 genetically, areally and typologically diverse languages and is unique in considering cross-linguistic patterns defined both by lexical and grammatical information. The detailed descriptions of the linguistic and extra-linguistic facts will serve as an important step in teasing apart the role of the different factors in how we speak about temperature – neurophysiology, cognition, environment, social-cultural practices, genetic relations among languages, and linguistic contact. The book is a significant contribution to semantic typology, and will be of interest for linguists, psychologists, anthropologists and philosophers.

Download or read book The Kipsigis written by Michael Saltman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the basic problems of emerging nations is how to determine what factors are involved in the process of change in modernizing the legal system using customary law as the basis. How do old rules become obsolete and new rules institutionalized? In which domains of litigation do legal concepts, based on principles of Western jurisprudence, become relevant? In which domains of litigation do indigenous rules on non-Western customary law persist? In the more than fifty tribes of Kenya, customary law fulfills an extremely important function in settling contemporary civil disputes. Changes in a system of customary law are the consequences of many different factors; however, this study emphasizes those changes that the indigenous customary law has itself generated in adapting to changing socioeconomic conditions. In addition, the study looks for changes in the customary law attributable to the influence of the ideas and procedures inherent in British law. The Kipsigis tribe of west central Kenya is the model for this study of the rapidly changing culture of Kenya. Formerly under British rule, it has evolved trom a pastoral economy to one based on mixed farming--with a resulting change in the legal system from imprecise statements of custom to legal statements of ever greater precision.

Download or read book The Metamorphosis of English written by Richard M. Swiderski and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-05-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the motley crew of invaders who mingled with the Gaelic, Norse, Latin, and French speakers to produce a small nation of empire-builders who would carry their language to the far corners of the globe, the story of the birth and migration of the English language is well known to us through the popular works of Robert McNeil, Robert McCrum, and Bill Bryson. Swiderski expands and extends our understanding of the predatory aspects of the language as he shows how English acquires and is transformed by the myriad other languages with which it comes into contact. Swiderski's examples begin with major world languages, especially Spanish and Chinese, and then go on to look at the less considered connections with remote and extinct languages. Through Swiderski's lens, English takes on the look of an agglutinative museum of linguistic artifacts in danger of having no describable identity or common fabric. Each speaker's variety of English is as individual as his or her genetic makeup; it is both so universal and so dissimilar that English as we know it may be endangered as a separate language.

Download or read book The King s Dictionary written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aden, of old one of the main Eurasian ports for goods from China, Southeast Asia and India on their way to the Mediterranean lands, was controlled during the 13th - 15th centuries by the Rasūlid dynasty. One of their kings, al-Malik al-Afḍal al- ‘Abbās b. ‘Alī (1363-1377) wrote multilingual glossaries (vocabularia) of extraordinary importance, universally termed the Rasūlid Hexaglot. Its emergence caused quite a stir (e.g. New York Times, February 1981), and it is with pride that we now present our customers with the authoritative translation, commentary, and explanation of the socio-historical context by a group of major experts. The Arabic, Persian, Turkic, Greek, Armenian and Mongol languages in the King’s Dictionary were the most important tongues of the Eastern Mediterranean. The Greek, Armenian and Mongol sections, in particular, provide one of the few examples of transcriptions of living vernacular forms of the era. Thomas Allsen’s captivating chapter on the Eurasian Cultural Context of the dictionary makes clear, i.a., the depth of connections among several Eurasian cultural areas in the aftermath of the Mongol conquests.
