Download or read book Binominal Quantifiers in Spanish written by Katrien Dora Verveckken and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantification is central to human experience (cf. Aristotle’s Organon): the most basic aspects of human life and reasoning involve quantity assessment. This study sheds lights on a highly frequent way to express quantification in Spanish, viz. the binominal quantifier (e.g. un aluviónN1 de llamadasN2 ‘a flood of calls’) which assesses the quantity of N2 in terms of N1. This volume offers a corpus-based, cognitive-functional analysis of binominal quantifiers (BQ) in Spanish. The first part is dedicated to the development of BQs and starts from the assumption that BQs are cross-linguistically involved in grammaticalization. This monograph frames the history of BQs in Spanish in terms of constructional levels of change and highlights the complex interplay between analogical thinking and conceptual persistence. The second part motivates both the ample variation in the paradigm of quantifying nouns and their combinatorial pattern by the very same mechanism of conceptually-driven analogy. The study thus yields an innovative functional model of BQs in Spanish, in synchrony and in diachrony, with major implications for reference grammars and theory building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La selección de España siempre fue un cúmulo de talento, pero tuvieron que pasar más de ochenta años para que volviera a conjuntar lo que tuvo en los años treinta, un titán en la portería, un coloso en la defensa, una media cancha de ensueño y una delantera mágica. Solo Mussolini y la guerra evitaron su consagración. 1956 es una novela inspirada en la vida de Gabriel Hanot, futbolista y periodista francés nacido a finales del siglo XIX. En ella, nos narra la historia del fútbol durante los primeros cincuenta y seis años del siglo XX. La fundación de los organismos internacionales, la creación de las primeras competiciones de clubes a nivel internacional y nacional, así como el surgimiento de las copas del mundo. Todo nos guía al 13 de junio de 1956, fecha en la que se enfrentan Real Madrid y Stade de Reims, en París, para disputar la primera final de la Copa de Campeones de Europa; torneo creado por Gabriel y apoyado por Santiago Bernabéu, quien, tras llegar al club como un niño, se convierte mucho tiempo después en el más grande dirigente deportivo de la historia. 1956 habla dela vida de aquellos que ahora están en el olvido, pero gracias a los que hoy podemos gritar «¡gol!».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of Volume IV of the General History of the Caribbean, the Long Nineteenth Century, indicates its range, from the last years of the eighteenth to the first two decades of the twentieth. The volume begins during the hegemony of the European nations and the social and economic dominance of the slave masters. It ends with the hegemony of the United States of America and the economic dominance of American and European agricultural and mercantile corporations. The chapters provide thematic accounts of societies emerging from slavery at different times during the century and also of the circumstances that affected the extent to which these societies were autochthonous within their various territories. The book's survey of this span of 150 years begins with the Haitian Revolution and its repercussions both within the region and outside. It then examines in turn the variety of ways in which the emancipated, their ex-masters and the colonial powers related to each other in the economy, polity and society of various territories; the economy of sugar in decline; the hostility of local landed elites to the welfare of the emancipated, to the ways landless labourers adapted to survive, and to interregional migrations; the social and cultural transformations of new populations from Africa, India and China; the technical innovations in the sugar industry towards the end of the century that differentiate the interests of field owner from factory owner; the decline of white pre-eminence, yet their resistance to claims for autonomy and an end to colonial tutelage
