Book Synopsis Anglistics in Lithuania by : Jonė Grigaliūnienė
Download or read book Anglistics in Lithuania written by Jonė Grigaliūnienė and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers offers diverse yet highly professional accounts of multiple cross-linguistic and cross-cultural aspects of English studies in Lithuania. It is valuable for the wide variety of empirical data presented, for the insights into both English and Lithuanian, which, when studied individually, sometimes cannot escape a narrower treatment. Most of the essays in this volume deal with semantics, pragmatics and grammar, while others focus on phonetics and language pedagogy. The collection is also notable for its use of various different methodologies, including triple CL – corpus linguistic, cognitive linguistic and contrastive linguistic – principles of investigation. A particular strength of the book is its focus on the contrastive aspect of study. Further, many of the contributions included here have profound implications for both translation and teaching.
Book Synopsis New Trends on Metadiscourse by : Begoña Bellés-Fortuño
Download or read book New Trends on Metadiscourse written by Begoña Bellés-Fortuño and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book gives an updated overview of methods of analysis of academic and non-academic genres in a digital era. The advent of digital and social media has deeply transformed academic and non-academic communication practices in the past two decades. The linguistic landscape is now a multilayered one; multicultural issues and cross-linguistic aspects are addressed in a way to understand how linguistically and culturally diverse identities try to find pathways. The communicative immediacy of digital media and the spectrum of genres/hybridized forms now available has inevitably influenced the way we communicate and the way we create meaning-making in a multimodal environment. The book contains nine chapters divided into two main sections corresponding to academic and non-academic texts where written, spoken and digital genres are examined from different perspectives. Cross-linguistic studies, multilingual approaches or disciplinary variations are analyzed in detail. This book provides and up-to-date and innovative view of Metadiscourse research and develops new research methodologies, drawing on visual research methods and combinations of qualitative and quantitative approaches from fields including Discourse Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, and Genre Analysis.
Book Synopsis Railway Discourse by : Esterino Adami
Download or read book Railway Discourse written by Esterino Adami and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the train trope in a variety of cultural, literary and linguistic contexts, from contemporary crime fiction and dystopian graphic narratives to postcolonial railway travelogues, by employing a range of methods and frameworks. Situated within the “Discourse, Pragmatics and Sociolinguistics” collection, the book critically engages with significant areas such as discourse and narrative structure. Interpreting the railway as a powerful cultural and imaginary site in the English-speaking world that traverses a range of creative domains, this study explores the ways in which the train and its structures, symbols and metaphors are textually rendered and the type of stylistic effects they generate in readers. It introduces, frames and discusses the idea of railway discourse and focuses on specific case studies (The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, the graphic novel Snowpiercer and Monisha Rajesh’s Around India in 80 Trains). In particular, it considers how a compartment window can constrain, and shape, the point of view of a narrator, the way in which science fiction trains are conceptually imagined, and the intercultural implications of rail travel writing in India today. To analyse the role and meaning of the railway in these texts, and compare them with others, this work adopts and adapts analytical tools and critical concepts from the integration of different fields, such as stylistics and linguistics, postcolonial criticism and literary studies.

Book Synopsis The 20th Century by : Richard Giedroyc
Download or read book The 20th Century written by Richard Giedroyc and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a byproduct of the author's research into his family's history. Due to the placement of people at either the right or the wrong place at a moment in history, the accounts of their experiences help recount events. What is unusual about this book is that sufficient eyewitness or secondary accounts involving people with this surname have survived. No other history book has ever used such a far-flung surname to illustrate history. The author tries to be careful not to over-emphasize the importance of this family, yet presents a personal side to historic events. This is a general history book meant to explain major events of the 20th century and how they impacted most of the world. The book concentrates on nations that dominated the political landscape, also using two nations heavily impacted by the activities of their larger neighbor for supporting information. For this reason the United States, Russia (and Soviet Union), Lithuania, and Poland are the major thrust of the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series will provide much-needed descriptions of modern English which take the revelations of recent research into account. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of idioms and idiomaticity from a functional perspective.

The book goes on to consider implications for language learning and development.
Book Synopsis Spatial Prepositions by : Claude Vandeloise
Download or read book Spatial Prepositions written by Claude Vandeloise and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-10-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This striking study of the meaning and use of the major spatial prepositions in French provides valuable insight into how the human mind organizes spatial relationships. Most previous analyses of spatial prepositions have assumed that their semantic properties can be adequately explained by familiar logical and geometrical concepts. Thus, the standard view of the preposition "in" as it appears in the sentence "the ball is in the bag" postulates that it refers to the geometrical relation of inclusion. This paradigm, however, falters when faced with the contrast in acceptability between sentences such as "the bulb is in the socket" and "the bottle is in the cap." The force exerted by the "landmark" (a conceptually fixed object) on the "target" (a moveable object) is crucial in this difference: the functional notion of containment seems more operational in the use of the preposition "in" than inclusion. That is, what are taken to be the landmark and the target depend greatly on the functions these objects serve in the human scheme. This offers important clues to otherwise problematic linguistic quirks, such as why one sleeps in one's bed, while one is said to lie on one's deathbed. While many of the examples apply in English as well as French, there are some noteworthy differences—in French one sits on a chair, but in a couch. Vandeloise convincingly argues that it is precisely this subjective element which makes a standard geometrical account unfeasible.

Book Synopsis Ideas on the Move in the Social Sciences and Humanities by : Gisèle Sapiro
Download or read book Ideas on the Move in the Social Sciences and Humanities written by Gisèle Sapiro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection analyses the reception of a selection of key thinkers, and the dissemination of paradigms, theories and controversies across the social sciences and humanities since 1945. It draws on data collected from textbooks, curricula, interviews, archives, and references in scientific journals, from a broad range of countries and disciplines to provide an international and comparative perspective that will shed fresh light on the circulation of ideas in the social and human sciences. The contributions cover high-profile disputes on methodology, epistemology, and research practices, and the international reception of theorists that have abiding and interdisciplinary relevance, such as: Antonio Gramsci, Hannah Arendt, Karl Polanyi, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak. This important work will be a valuable resource to scholars of the history of ideas and the philosophy of the social sciences; in addition to researchers in the fields of social, cultural and literary theory.
