Book A History of the English Language

Download or read book A History of the English Language written by Elly van Gelderen and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English language in its complex shapes and forms changes fast. This thoroughly revised edition has been refreshed with current examples of change and has been updated regarding archeological research. Most suggestions brought up by users and reviewers have been incorporated, for instance, a family tree for Germanic has been added, Celtic influence is highlighted much more, there is more on the origin of Chancery English, and internal and external change are discussed in much greater detail. The philosophy of the revised book remains the same with an emphasis on the linguistic history and on using authentic texts. My audience remains undergraduates (and beginning graduates). The goals of the class and the book are to come to recognize English from various time periods, to be able to read each stage with a glossary, to get an understanding of typical language change, internal and external, and to understand something about language typology through the emphasis on the change from synthetic to analytic. This book has a companion website: http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/z.183.website

Book excerpt: The Complete Works of Guy De Maupassant (A Bilingual Edition) is a comprehensive collection of stories and novels by the influential French author, Guy de Maupassant.

Having lived through the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War and its aftermath, Maupassant's work often reflects the social and political realities of his time. His deep understanding of human nature and his ability to convey universal truths through his writing have solidified his place as a literary master. I highly recommend The Complete Works of Guy De Maupassant to readers who appreciate finely crafted prose, insightful storytelling, and thought-provoking narratives. This bilingual edition provides a unique opportunity to delve into the world of one of France's most celebrated authors and to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human experience.

Download or read book Training the Translator written by Paul Kussmaul and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by investigating, through the use of think-aloud protocols, the mental processes of students when they translate. The creative and successful processes observed can be used directly for teaching purposes, while the unsuccessful ones can serve to find out where remedial training is needed. The book then goes on to discuss methods for improving a translator's competence. The strategies offered are based on the pragmatic and semantic analysis of texts from a functional point of view, and they include such practical matters as the use of dictionaries and the evaluation of translations and error analysis. The book is intended for teachers in translator-training institutions, but it can also be used by students for self-training.
