High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
Download or read book Content Expression and Structure written by Elisabeth Engberg-Pedersen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers offers an alternative to mainstream functional linguistics on two points. Especially in American linguistics, function and structure are often viewed almost as polar opposites; in addition, structure is often understood as being only a matter of linguistic form or expression as opposed to content. The book tries to illustrate why function and structure must be understood as mutually dependent in relation to language and why the most interesting aspect of language structure is the way it structures the content side of language. In this, the book represents a reaffirmation of traditional concerns in structural linguistics, especially with respect to the structural integrity of individual languages but with a reversal of traditional priority: structure is not autonomous, but must be understood on the basis of function. Without being hostile to typological and universal generalizations, the articles suggest that similarities between languages can only be responsibly discussed on the basis of an understanding that includes a respect for language differences. The book contains discussions of a number of different languages including Nahuatl, Danish Sign Language, French, and Tlapanec, and focuses on the way meaning is organized in the grammar of Danish. A final section sums up theoretical perspectives.

This book was released on 2008-07-14 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive and thorough survey of our current insights into the diversity and unity found across the 6000 languages of this planet. The 125 articles include inter alia chapters on the patterns and limits of variation manifested by analogous structures, constructions and linguistic devices across languages (e.g. word order, tense and aspect, inflection, color terms and syllable structure). Other chapters cover the history, methodology and the theory of typology, as well as the relationship between language typology and other disciplines. The authors of the individual sections and chapters are for the most part internationally known experts on the relevant topics. The vast majority of the articles are written in English, some in French or German. The handbook is not only intended for the expert in the fields of typology and language universals, but for all of those interested in linguistics. It is specifically addressed to all those who specialize in individual languages, providing basic orientation for their analysis and placing each language within the space of what is possible and common in the languages of the world.

Download or read book Integrating Information and Communication Technologies in English for Specific Purposes written by Rosa Muñoz-Luna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills the need for a text that integrates Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It offers insights on current methodological principles in ESP in both academic and professional contexts, drawing on authentic teaching and learning situations, and analyses best practice guidelines. Part I begins with ESP pedagogical principles and technological practice in order to focus on its two main branches: English for Academic Purposes, which includes linguistic skills and students’ needs, and English for Occupational Purposes, specifically looking at Business, Medical and Translators courses. This book is a great resource for ESP researchers, educators and students, because it provides case studies of how ICTs can be used in English for multiple purposes. Authors present their experiences of integrating tools into their instructions, with each chapter contributing unique pedagogical implications.
Download or read book A Bibliography on Writing and Written Language written by Konrad Ehlich and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 2896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bibliography offers information on research about writing and written language over the past 50 years. No comprehensive bibliography on this subject has been published since Sattler's (1935) handbook. With a selection of some 27,500 titles it covers the most important literature in all scientific fields relating to writing. Emphasis has been placed on the interdisciplinary organization of the bibliography, creating many points of common interest for literacy experts, educationalists, psychologists, sociologists, linguists, cultural anthropologists, and historians. The bibliography is organized in such a way as to provide the specialist as well as the researcher in neighboring disciplines with access to the relevant literature on writing in a given field. While necessarily selective, it also offers information on more specialized bibliographies. In addition, an overview of norms and standards concerning 'script and writing' will prove very useful for non-professional readers. It is, therefore, also of interest to the generally interested public as a reference work for the humanities.

Download or read book Echoes of Narcissus written by Lieve Spaas and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greek mythology the beautiful Narcissus glimpsed his own reflection in the waters of a spring and fell in love. But his was an impossible passion and, filled with despair, he pined away. Over the years the myth has inspired painters, writers, and film directors, as well as philosophers and psychoanalysts. The tragic story of Narcissus, in love with himself, and of Echo, the nymph in love with him, lies at the heart of this collection of essays exploring the origins of the myth and some of its many cultural manifestations and meanings relating to the self and the self's relationship to the other. Through their discussion of the myth and its ramifications, the contributors to this volume broaden our understanding of one of the fundamental myths of Western culture.

Download or read book Lexicology written by D. Alan Cruse and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2005 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Lexikologie bietet auf den ersten Blick ein diffuses Erscheinungsbild. Entweder wird sie aufgrund bereits etablierter Teildisziplinen wie Lexikographie, Morphologie und lexikalische Semantik schlicht nicht wahrgenommen, oder sie zerfällt in halb-autonome Teildisziplinen wie z.B. Phraseologie und Mentales Lexikon. Das Handbuch strebt auf diesem Hintergrund die folgenden wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen und forschungspraktischen Ziele an: Etablierung und Festigung eines eigenständigen Profils der Disziplin 'Lexikologie' Sammlung und Dokumentation des gegenwärtigen lexikologischen Wissensstandes Offenlegung von Forschungsdesideraten und Aufzeigen von konkreten Arbeitsfeldern. Die Gliederung des Handbuchs orientiert sich an den beiden Hauptsträngen 'Wort' und 'Wortschatz'. Als Bindeglied fungieren die Sinnrelationen, die mit ihrer paarweisen Erfassung von Wörtern gewissermaßen ein sukzessives Ausgreifen in den Wortschatz erlauben. Die Erweiterung von 'Wort' zu 'lexikalischem Element' bedingt eine eingehendere Beschäftigung mit der Phraseologie. Gemäß der Mehrdeutigkeit von ,Wortschatz' (Wortschatz im Verhältnis zu einer natürlichen Sprache vs. Wortschatz im Verhältnis zu einem Individuum [Mentales Lexikon] vs. Wortschatz im Verhältnis zur Grammatik [Lexikon]) finden die entsprechenden Sichtweisen ausführliche Behandlung. Synchrone und diachrone Gesichtspunkte werden gleichermaßen berücksichtigt, um die den Wortschätzen natürlicher Sprachen zugrunde liegende Dynamik adäquat zu erfassen. Schließlich machte es die geschilderte Situation der Lexikologie erforderlich, eingehend Fragen zur Disziplin, zu ihren Methoden und ihren Beziehungen zu Nachbardisziplinen zu behandeln. Pluspunkte: Umfassende, international repräsentative Gesamtdarstellung der Disziplin Zweibändige Ausgabe auf dem neusten Stand der Forschung Internationale Handbuchreihe
Download or read book Fachsprachen written by Lothar Hoffmann and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 1998 with total page 1390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Stärken der Fachsprachenforschung lagen bisher in der sorgfältigen quantitativen und qualitativen Analyse umfangreicher Materialkorpora sowie in den zahlreichen Versuchen, neue linguistische Theorien und Methoden auf ihren spezifischen Untersuchungsgegenstand anzuwenden. Kritik ist daran geübt worden, daß diese Forschung keine eigene Theorie und keine selbständigen Methoden entwickelt hat. Diese Einwände wurden im Handbuch berücksichtigt. Gleichzeitig verweist das Handbuch auf noch wenige erforschte Gebiete und eröffnet so zukünftige Forschungsperspektiven. All das und noch vieles andere führte zur Formulierung der folgenden Hauptaufgaben: Schaffung eines deutlichen Bewußtseins dafür, welche vergangenen und gegenwärtigen Forschungsaktivitäten trotz unterschiedlicher Ausgangspunkte und Zielsetzungen und trotz der äußerlichen Zugehörigkeit zu anderen Disziplinen als Beiträge zur Fachsprachenforschung aufzufassen sind. Vermittlung der Einsicht in die Notwendigkeit, daß die Fachsprachenforschung eine weitestgehend konsensfähige Theorie der Fachsprachen erarbeiten muß, aus der Methoden und Forschungsprogramme abgeleitet werden können. Repräsentative Darstellung des Forschungsgegenstandes ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, aber mit dem Ziel, theoretische Fragestellungen, Problemfelder und empirische Befunde so auszuwählen, daß vorsichtige Schlüsse vom dargestellten Teil auf das Ganze gezogen werden können. Verklammerung der Fachsprachenforschung und der Terminologiewissenschaft, auch mit Blick auf (inter-) kulturelle Spezifika. Bemühen, die einzelphilologischen Grenzen zu überschreiten. Kritische Einschätzung von Hypothesen, Methoden und ihrer Anwendung sowie der bisherigen Ergebnisse. Konzeptionelle und darstellerische Verbindung diachroner und synchroner Aspekte. Anregung, Konzeption und Perspektivierung künftiger Forschung. Unterbreitung von Angeboten für die Umsetzung in die Praxis, z.B. durch Vorschläge für die Optimierung fachlicher Kommunikation, für die Standardisierung von Terminologien und Fachtextsorten und durch Empfehlungen zu Zielen, Inhalten und Methoden der Fachsprachenausbildung. Beachtung interdisziplinärer Aspekte. Erschließung der für die Kenntnis der Fachsprachenforschung und für die sprachliche Handlungsfähigkeit im Fach wesentlichen Literatur. Dokumentation der für die Fachsprachenforschung und Terminologiewissenschaft wichtigen nationalen und internationalen Organisationen.

Download or read book Tense Systems in European Languages written by Rolf Thieroff and published by ISSN. This book was released on 1994 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
