Book Synopsis The World Atlas of Language Structures by : Martin Haspelmath
Download or read book The World Atlas of Language Structures written by Martin Haspelmath and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Atlas of Language Structures is a book and CD combination displaying the structural properties of the world's languages. 142 world maps and numerous regional maps - all in colour - display the geographical distribution of features of pronunciation and grammar, such as number of vowels, tone systems, gender, plurals, tense, word order, and body part terminology. Each world map shows an average of 400 languages and is accompanied by a fully referenced description of the structural feature in question. The CD provides an interactive electronic version of the database which allows the reader to zoom in on or customize the maps, to display bibliographical sources, and to establish correlations between features. The book and the CD together provide an indispensable source of information for linguists and others seeking to understand human languages. The Atlas will be especially valuable for linguistic typologists, grammatical theorists, historical and comparative linguists, and for those studying a region such as Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe. It will also interest anthropologists and geographers. More than fifty authors from many different countries have collaborated to produce a work that sets new standards in comparative linguistics. No institution involved in language research can afford to be without it.

Book Synopsis A World Atlas of Translation by : Yves Gambier
Download or read book A World Atlas of Translation written by Yves Gambier and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do people think of translation in the different historical, cultural and linguistic traditions of the world? How many uses has translation been put to? How distant from one another are the concepts of translation found in the different traditions? These are some of the questions A World Atlas of Translation addresses. Its twenty-one reports give us pictures taken from the inside, both from traditions that are well represented in the literature and from the many that (for now) are not. But the Atlas is not content with documenting – no map is this innocent. In fact, the wealth of information collected and made accessible by its reporters can be useful to gauge the dispersion of translation concepts across traditions. As you read its reports, the Atlas will keep asking “How far apart do these concepts look to you?” Finally and more ambitiously, the reports can help us test the hypothesis that a cross-cultural notion of translation exists. In this respect, the Atlas is mostly a proof of concept. It hopes to encourage further fact-based research in quest of a robust and compelling unifying notion of translation.

Book excerpt: De atlas is online beschikbaar en laat door middel van overzichtelijke kaarten zien hoe taalstructuren wereldwijd gerealiseerd worden: welke talen hebben bijvoorbeeld wel of geen lidwoorden, in welke talen is de woordvolgorde anders dan in het Nederlands, hoe wordt in verschillende talen meervoud uitgedrukt, in welke talen komt het bijvoeglijknaamwoord voor het zelfstandig naamwoord en in welke erna en hoe is het kleurenspecturm in verschillende talen opgedeeld? Een bron aan informatie voor wie snel wil weten hoe het komt dat bepaalde NT2-leerders steeds dezelfde fouten maken, vanuit interferentie van de moedertaal.
