Download or read book Aspects of Linguistic Variation written by Daniël Olmen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguistic variation is a topic of ongoing interest to the field. Its description and its explanations continue to intrigue scholars from many different backgrounds. By taking a deliberately broad perspective on the matter, covering not only crosslinguistic and diachronic but also intralinguistic and interspeaker variation and examining phenomena ranging from negation over connectives to definite articles in well- and lesser-known languages, the volume furthers our understanding of variation in general. The papers offer new insights into, among other things, the theoretical notion of comparative concepts, the social or mental nature of language structure, the areal factor in lexical typology and the diachronic implications of semantic maps. The collection will thus be of relevance to typologists and historical linguists, as well as to people studying variation within the areas of cognitive and functional linguistics.

Download or read book Le Vieillissement c r bral written by Yvon Lamour and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1990-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vieillissement de la population mondiale, témoin de l'efficacité de la lutte contre les grandes maladies, entraîne l'apparition de problèmes médicaux et sociaux nouveaux. Ceux posés par le vieillissement de notre cerveau sont sans doute les plus redoutables. Il peut se traduire par des signes bénins (troubles de la mémoire) mais aussi, dans ses formes pathologiques (démence), par des troubles graves des capacités intellectuelles. La maladie d'Alzheimer est, de loin, la forme la plus fréquente de démence. Les démences frappent aujourd'hui plusieurs centaines de milliers de personnes en France. Nous ne connaissons ni les causes, ni le traitement du vieillissement du cerveau. Nous ne savons pas non plus si la maladie d'Alzheimer représente une accélération du vieillissement normal ou une maladie autonome. C'est dire l'importance de promouvoir un effort exceptionnel de recherche dans ce domaine. L'étude du vieillissement est aussi un moyen privilégié d'exploration du cerveau humain, mettant en jeu les méthodes les plus modernes des neurosciences. La culture scientifique, quoi qu'on en dise, n'existe pas : elle ne saurait être assimilée à une simple information sur les résultats de la recherche. C'est aux chercheurs eux-mêmes à la mettre en forme, de telle sorte qu'elle puisse s'intégrer à la culture générale. Cette collection donne une voix à cette élaboration aujourd'hui nécessaire. Les meilleurs spécialistes internationaux y mènent une réflexion commune sur les incidences intellectuelles et sociales des bouleversements techniques provoqués par le développement actuel de la science. Chaque volume, conçu comme un ouvrage de référence, regroupe les points de vue actuellement les plus significatifs sur une question donnée.

Download or read book Heroines of Comic Books and Literature written by Maja Bajac-Carter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing importance of heroines across literary culture—and sales figures that demonstrate both young adult and adult females are reading about heroines in droves, particularly in graphic novels, comic books, and YA literature—few scholarly collections have examined the complex relationships between the representations of heroines and the changing societal roles for both women and men. In Heroines of Comic Books and Literature: Portrayals in Popular Culture, editors Maja Bajac-Carter, Norma Jones, and Bob Batchelor have selected essays by award-winning contributors that offer a variety of perspectives on the representations of heroines in today’s society. Focused on printed media, this collection looks at heroic women depicted in literature, graphic novels, manga, and comic books. Addressing heroines from such sources as the Marvel and DC comic universes, manga, and the Twilight novels, contributors go beyond the account of women as mothers, wives, warriors, goddesses, and damsels in distress. These engaging and important essays situate heroines within culture, revealing them as tough and self-sufficient females who often break the bounds of gender expectations in places readers may not expect. Analyzing how women are and have been represented in print, this companion volume to Heroines of Film and Television will appeal to scholars of literature, rhetoric, and media as well as to broader audiences that are interested in portrayals of women in popular culture.
