This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Policy and Planning in the Mediterranean World is a collection of the best papers presented at the MedLPLP conference held at the University of Cyprus in 2009, enriched with invited contributions on the same topic. The book presents a panorama of situations with countries such as France, Germany, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania and Serbia. It explores various aspects of the weight and ecology of the Mediterranean languages, discusses LPP in the light of international law and the protection of human rights, bilingual education and foreign language acquisition policies. It also addresses the issue of feminization in a broad range of Mediterranean languages comparing French, Italian, Spanish, and, for the first time, Standard and Cypriot Greek. Finally, the book also discusses language revival and renovation policies, language planning in the public space, as well as cases of micro-language management. The volume is an excellent source of information for scholars and students of LPP interested in the synchrony and diachrony of Mediterranean languages, in aspects of LPP activity in various Mediterranean countries and in specific LPP processes involving several languages within the area.

Book excerpt: Depuis plus de cent cinquante ans, les specialistes de grammaire comparee des langues indo-europeennes ont recueilli et analyse des faits qui relevent de l'usage esthetique des formes linguistiques dans les textes de plusieurs langues: l'enquete est desormais elargie a l'ensemble de la famille linguistique indo-europeenne. Les faits couvrent tous les aspects de la langue reconstruite appelee par convention indo-europeen: phonetique, morphologie, syntaxe, phraseologie, metrique. Ce domaine de recherche, qui associe constamment la philologie et la linguistique, est appele poetique indo-europeenne, et vise a situer une partie des faits en question dans la perspective d'une tradition poetique heritee. Le present volume reunit les communications presentees lors d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu a Paris en octobre 2003, et qui etait organise par l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, section des Sciences historiques et philologiques, en association avec le Centre d'Etudes Anciennes de l'Ecole Normale Superieure. Les contributions, au nombre de trente-deux, sont signees d'une grande partie des meilleurs specialistes francais et etrangers et concernent, a travers differentes approches, la quasi totalite des langues indo-europeennes: anatolien, indo-iranien, grec, latin et langues sabelliques, germanique, armenien, slave, baltique, celtique, tokharien. Le nombre et la diversite des travaux permettent de dresser un etat de la recherche actuelle sur le plan international, aussi bien en poetique qu'en linguistique indo-europeenne.

Download or read book Ancient Botany written by Gavin Hardy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gavin Hardy and Laurence Totelin have brought together their botanical and historical knowledge to produce this unique overview of ancient botany. It examines all the founding texts of botanical science, such as Theophrastus' Enquiry into Plants, Dioscorides' Materia Medica, Pliny the Elder's Natural History, Nicolaus of Damascus' On Plants, and Galen' On Simple Remedies, but also includes lesser known texts ranging from the sixth century BCE to the seventh century CE, as well as some material evidence. The authors adopt a thematic approach rather than a chronological one, considering important issues such as the definition of a plant, nomenclature, classifications, physiology, the link between plants and their environment, and the numerous usages of plants in the ancient world. The book also takes care to place ancient botany in its historical, social and economic context. The authors have explained all technical botanical terms and ancient history notions, and as a result, this work will appeal to historians of ancient science, medicine and technology; classicists; and botanists interested in the history of their discipline.
Download or read book L Europe M diterran enne written by Marta Petricioli and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Europe de la méditerranée, comparée aux autres régions européennes, dispose d'une histoire et d'une géographie particulières. Et pourtant elle entretient avec ces régions de nombreux rapports qu'il conviendra d'analyser afin d'enrichir notre compréhension de l'Europe dans son ensemble. Une longue tradition de rapports économiques et culturels rapproche tous les pays donnant sur la mer, berceau des principales civilisations du monde, bassin où s'échangent hommes, idées, matières premières, et technologies. L'Union européenne est appelée à développer une grande politique méditerranéenne, aussi bien par l'adhésion de nouveaux pays que par une politique de bon voisinage ou d'associations privilégiées. L'instrument principal devrait en être une politique culturelle servant de pont entre l'Est et l'Ouest, le Nord et le Sud, politique commune afin de répandre les valeurs contenues dans le projet de constitution européenne qui reconnaît dans le concept de diversité son bien le plus précieux. Les pays de l'Europe méditerranéenne, avec leurs expériences et leurs savoirs, peuvent fournir à cette politique une contribution précieuse. Ce volume, fruit de la coopération internationale de vingt chercheurs, apporte des éclairages sur l'Europe méditerranéenne non seulement dans des dimensions historiques, économiques, démographiques et politologiques, mais également dans le domaine des relations internationales et de la politique culturelle. The geography and the history of Mediterranean Europe are very different from those of the other European regions, but their role in the relationships with the other shores of the Mediterranean can be of great assistance to Europe as a whole. All the countries bordering the sea that witnessed the birth of some of the major civilisations of the world share a long tradition of economic and cultural relations. In the past numerous diasporas knit the harbour cities together, transmitting the ideas of the Enlightenment; today an uninterrupted flow of raw materials traverses the Mediterranean, together with people, ideas and technology. The European Union is called upon to develop a major Mediterranean policy, both through the accession of new countries, and by means of a policy of neighbourhood or of privileged associations. The principal tool should be a cultural policy that serves as a bridge between east and west, north and south. A common policy to spread the values contained in the project of the European constitution. In its motto «United in diversity», the Union recognises diversity as its most valuable asset. The countries of Mediterranean Europe, with their experience and their knowledge, can make a precious contribution to this policy. This book, the fruit of international co-operation among 20 researchers, offers a contribution to the study of Mediterranean Europe not only in the historic, economic, demographic and politological ambit, but also in the sphere of international relations and cultural policy.
Download or read book Manual of Romance Languages in Africa written by Ursula Reutner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.
Download or read book Discourses on Nations and Identities written by Daniel Syrovy and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism, or political factions. The second thematic block is predominantly concerned with hybridity as an aspect of modern cultural identity, and the cultural and linguistic dimensions of domestic life and in society at large. Closely related, a third series of papers focuses on writers and texts analysed from the vantage points of exile and exophony, as well as theoretical contributions to issues of terminology and what it means to talk about transcultural phenomena. Finally, a group of papers sheds light on more overtly violent power structures, mechanisms of exclusion, Totalitarianism, torture, and censorship, but also resistance to these forms of oppression. In addition to these chapters, the volume also collects a number of thematically related group sections from the ICLA congress, preserving their original context.

This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes the reflections of leading researchers on Arabic and Semitic languages, also understood as systems and representations. The work first deals with Biblical Hebrew, Early Aramaic, Afroasiatic and Semitic. Its core focuses on morpho-syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, rhetoric and logic matters, showing Arabic grammar's place within the system of the sciences of language. In the second part, authors deal with lexical issues, before they explore dialectology. The last stop is a reflection on how Arabic linguistics may prevent the understanding of the Arabs' own grammatical theory and the teaching and learning of Arabic.

This book was released on 2012-02-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Als Objekt der Forschung spielt der Mittelmeerraum in der französischen Geschichtswissenschaft schon sehr lange eine wichtige Rolle. Die deutschsprachige historische Forschung hingegen hat sich erst jüngst dem Mittelmeerraum im Spiegel seiner kulturellen Verflechtungen zugewandt. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, ob das Mittelmeer als Kulturraum der Austauschprozesse und Grenzen nicht ebenso ein historisches Konstrukt ist wie das Mittelmeer der Brüche zwischen Antike und Mittelalter sowie zwischen christlicher und islamischer Welt. Der vorliegende Band vereint Beiträge, die verschiedene Aspekte der historiographischen Konstruktion des Mittelmeerraums beleuchten.
