Download or read book Idioms written by Martin Everaert and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idioms have always aroused the curiosity of linguists and there is a long tradition in the study of idioms, especially within the fields of lexicology and lexicography. Without denying the importance of this tradition, this volume presents an overview of recent idiom research outside the immediate domain of lexicology/lexicography. The chapters address the status of idioms in recent formal and experimental linguistic theorizing. Interdisciplinary in scope, the contributions are written by psycholinguists and theoretical and computational linguists who take mutual advantage of progress in all disciplines. Linguists supply the facts and analyses psycholinguists base their models and experiments on; psycholinguists in turn confront linguistic models with psycholinguistic findings. Computational linguists build natural language processing systems on the basis of models and frameworks provided by theoretical linguists and, sometimes psycholinguists, and set up large corpora to test linguistic hypotheses. Besides the fascination for idioms that make up such a large part of our knowledge of language, interdisciplinarity is one of the attractions of investigations in idiomatic language and language processing.
Download or read book Adverbs of Degree in Dutch and Related Languages written by Henny Klein and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-05-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverbs of degree form an intriguing part of the lexicon: numerous, multiform and everchanging. They also show a great variety in distribution. In this study, the characteristics of adverbs of degree are investigated from a semantic point of view. The main focus is on Dutch, but previous studies about English and German adverbs of degree are used to compare with and to build on. The book starts with an introduction on grading and gradability, and a classification of the adverbs according to the degree they express. Next, the different lexical sources from which the adverbs emerge and the process of grammaticalization are discussed. The main part of the book is devoted to semantic restrictions on the use of adverbs of degree, on the one hand restrictions concerning the modified elements, on the other hand those concerning the environment. Topics include absoluteness versus gradability, positive versus negative evaluation, the strengthening of negation, polarity sensitivity, the logical properties of the adverbs themselves, and restrictions to reduplication and stacking. Besides the main text, three case studies are presented in which the pecularities of some of the adverbs are investigated in depth, to show more in detail to complexities of their distribution. The appendix gives an overview of Dutch adverbs of degree.
Download or read book Words and Other Wonders written by Dirk Geeraerts and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Linguistics has given a major impetus to the study of semantics and the lexicon. The present volume brings together seventeen previously published papers that testify to the fruitfulness of Cognitive Linguistics for the study of lexical and semantic topics. Spanning the period from the late 1980s to recent years, the collection features a number of papers that may be considered classics within the field of cognitive linguistic lexicology. The papers are grouped in thematic sections. The first section deals with prototypicality as a theoretical and practical model of semantic description. The second section discusses polysemy and criteria for distinguishing between meanings. The third section tackles questions of meaning description beyond the level of words, on the level of idioms and constructions. The following section casts the net even wider, dealing with the cultural aspects of meaning. Moving away from the theoretical and descriptive perspective towards applied concerns, the fifth section looks at lexicography from the point of view of Cognitive Linguistics. The final section has a metatheoretical orientation: it discusses the history and methodology of lexical semantics. Each paper is preceded by a newly written introduction that situates the text against the period in which it was first published, but that also points to further developments, in the author's own research or in Cognitive Linguistics at large. The variety of topics dealt with make this book an excellent introduction to the broad field of lexicological and lexical semantic research.

Download or read book Mat riaux composites 5e d written by BERTHELOT Jean-Marie and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Véritable ouvrage de référence, Matériaux composites apporte l’ensemble des concepts théoriques et pratiques nécessaires à la compréhension du comportement mécanique des matériaux et structures composites. Ainsi, il permet d’établir une synthèse de l’analyse du comportement mécanique et de la théorie des plaques stratifiées ou sandwiches, et d’en appliquer les développements à la résolution des problèmes de flexion, de flambement et de vibrations. Composé de cinq parties, ce traité repose sur une approche fondamentale et unifiée aboutissant à une continuité des concepts et des théories. Illustrée de nombreux exercices d’application des concepts introduits, cette cinquième édition entièrement en couleurs a été actualisée et des commentaires ont été ajoutés afin de mettre en évidence la progression du traité. Après une présentation de la constitution puis de la mise en œuvre des matériaux composites, l’ouvrage développe progressivement les outils nécessaires pour modéliser le comportement mécanique des structures en matériaux composites stratifiés et sandwiches. Il aborde ensuite les problèmes de dimensionnement des structures, montrant comment les outils introduits permettent de modéliser le comportement mécanique des structures en matériaux composites. Le contenu et la progression de Matériaux composites ont été conçus avec pour objectifs principaux : – traiter le matériau composite comme un matériau traditionnel ; – intégrer l’apport des techniques numériques dans la résolution des problèmes de dimensionnement des structures ; – aborder les difficultés de manière progressive afin de faciliter l’accès du lecteur aux divers concepts introduits ; – confronter la modélisation avec le comportement réel des matériaux et des structures. Complet et didactique, cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles, aux ingénieurs, aux chercheurs ainsi qu’aux techniciens supérieurs

Download or read book Phraseology and Style in Subgenres of the Novel written by Iva Novakova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book represents the first cohesive attempt to describe the literary genres of late-twentieth-century fiction in terms of lexico-grammatical patterns. Drawing on the PhraseoRom international project on the phraseology of contemporary novels, the contributed chapters combine literary studies with corpus linguistics to analyse fantasy, romance, crime, historical and science fiction in French and English. The authors offer new insights into long-standing debates on genre distinction and the hybridization of genres by deploying a new, interdisciplinary methodology. Sitting at the intersection of literature and linguistics, with a firm grounding in the digital humanities, this book will be of particular relevance to literary scholars, corpus stylists, contrastivists and lexicologists, as well as general readers with an interest in twentieth-century genre fiction.

Download or read book Approaches to Teaching Baudelaire s Prose Poems written by Cheryl Krueger and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prolific poet, art critic, essayist, and translator, Charles Baudelaire is best known for his volumes of verse (Les Fleurs du Mal [Flowers of Evil]) and prose poems (Le Spleen de Paris [Paris Spleen]). This volume explores his prose poems, which depict Paris during the Second Empire and offer compelling and fraught representations of urban expansion, social change, and modernity. Part 1, "Materials," surveys the valuable resources available for teaching Baudelaire, including editions and translations of his oeuvre, historical accounts of his life and writing, scholarly works, and online databases. In Part 2, "Approaches," experienced instructors present strategies for teaching critical debates on Baudelaire's prose poems, addressing topics such as translation theory, literary genre, alterity, poetics, narrative theory, and ethics as well as the shifting social, economic, and political terrain of the nineteenth century in France and beyond. The essays offer interdisciplinary connections and outline traditional and fresh approaches for teaching Baudelaire's prose poems in a wide range of classroom contexts.
Download or read book Category Change from a Constructional Perspective written by Kristel Van Goethem and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Category change, broadly defined as the shift from one word class to another, is often studied as part of other changes, such as grammaticalization or lexicalization, but not in its own right. This volume offers a survey of different types of category change and their properties, e.g. abrupt versus gradual changes, morphological versus syntactic changes, or context-independent versus context-sensitive changes. The purpose of this collection of papers is to explore the concepts of linguistic category and category change from the perspective of Construction Grammar. Using data from a variety of languages, the authors address a number of themes that are central to current theorizing about category change, such as the question of whether or not categories should be considered discrete entities, how new categories arise, or whether category change can be considered as the emergence of a new construction, i.e. a new form-meaning pairing. The novel approach advanced in this volume will be of interest to historical linguists as well as to general linguists working on the nature of linguistic categories.
