Book Synopsis Glossary of English Grammar by : Geoffrey Leech
Download or read book Glossary of English Grammar written by Geoffrey Leech and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Glossary of English Grammar presents a wide range of terms used to describe the way the English language is structured. Grammatical terms can be a problem for students, especially when there are alternative names for the same thing (for example, 'past tense' and 'preterite'). This book therefore provides a basic and accessible guide, focusing on the English language. Definitions of grammatical terms are given in simple language, with clear examples, many from authentic texts and spoken sources, showing how they are used. The terms used in the Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language are widely seen as standard, and form the basis of grammatical terminology in this book. At the same time, this glossary does not neglect other variants of English grammar, such as that of Huddleston and Pullum's influential Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, whose most important terms are also covered here. This book is indispensable for anyone wishing to understand present-day terminology of English grammar more fully.

Book excerpt: A Glossary for Doing Postqualitative, New Materialist and Critical Posthumanist Research Across Disciplines gives novices and experienced researchers clear and comprehensible introductions to theories, paradigm shifts and key concepts in postqualitative, feminist new materialist and critical posthumanist research. The ten authors, who have a wealth of experience of teaching and conducting postqualitative research, have explored 72 key concepts and binaries. Supported by links to the series website (https://postqualitativeresearch.com/), this user-friendly glossary contains short entries of the main concepts, binaries and verbs in this field of research. The series website gives practical provocations that characterize the postqualitative terrain. Disrupting the theory/practice divide, the Glossary provides a postqualitative reimagining of traditional research processes while guiding readers through the contestation of binaries and innovative concepts. The Glossary is an accessible and introductory guide for novice qualitative researchers, and is of use to established academics already working with postqualitative approaches. It is an indispensable companion to the primary texts and original sources by theorists discussed in this and other books in the series.

Download or read book The War of Words written by Harold James and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely call for recovering the true meanings of the nineteenth-century terms that are hobbling current political debates Nationalism, conservatism, liberalism, socialism, and capitalism are among the most fiercely debated ideas in contemporary politics. Since these concepts hark back to the nineteenth century, much of their nuanced meaning has been lost, and the words are most often used as epithets that short-circuit productive discussion. In this insightful book, Harold James uncovers the origins of these concepts and examines how the problematic definition and meaning of each term has become an obstacle to respectful communication. Noting that similar linguistic misunderstandings accompany such newer ideas as geopolitics, neoliberalism, technocracy, and globalism, James argues that a rich historical knowledge of the vocabulary surrounding globalization, politics, and economics—particularly the meaning and the usefulness that drove the original conceptions of the terms—is needed to negotiate the gaps between different understandings and make fruitful political debate once again possible.

Download or read book Ontology Learning and Population written by Paul Buitelaar and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promise of the Semantic Web is that future web pages will be annotated not only with bright colors and fancy fonts as they are now, but with annotation extracted from large domain ontologies that specify, to a computer in a way that it can exploit, what information is contained on the given web page. The presence of this information will allow software agents to examine pages and to make decisions about content as humans are able to do now. The classic method of building an ontology is to gather a committee of experts in the domain to be modeled by the ontology, and to have this committee.
