Book Synopsis Discourse, Grammar and Ideology by : Christopher Hart
Download or read book Discourse, Grammar and Ideology written by Christopher Hart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers in critical discourse analysis (CDA) have often pointed to grammar as a locus of ideology in discourse. This book illustrates the role that grammars as models of language (and image) can play in revealing ideological properties of texts and discourse in social and political contexts. The book takes the reader through three distinct grammatical frameworks – functional grammar, multimodal grammar and cognitive grammar. Using examples taken from a range of discourses relating to globalisation, including discourses of immigration, war, corporate practice and political protests, the book demonstrates the individual utility and the interconnectedness of these models inside CDA. A key argument advanced is that the cognitive processes necessarily involved in making sense of language are based in visual experience. This position offers new ways of understanding the ideological effects of grammatical choices in texts and suggests a reassessment of the relationship between linguistic and multimodal grammars in CDA. The book will appeal to students and researchers interested in CDA and the relationship between discourse, cognition and social action.
Book Synopsis Language, from a Biological Point of View by : Cedric Boeckx
Download or read book Language, from a Biological Point of View written by Cedric Boeckx and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume offers a collection of essays covering a broad range of areas where currently a rapprochement between linguistics and biology is actively being sought. Following a certain tradition, we call this attempt at a synthesis “biolinguistics.” The nine chapters (grouped into three parts: Language and Cognition, Language and the Brain, and Language and the Species) offer a comprehensive overview of issues at the forefront of biolinguistic research, such as language structure; language development; linguistic change and variation; language disorders and language processing; the cognitive, neural and genetic basis of linguistic knowledge; or the evolution of the Faculty of Language. Each contribution highlights exciting prospects for the field, but they also point to significant obstacles along the way. The main conclusion is that the age of theoretical exclusivity in Linguistics, much like the age of theoretical specificity, will have to end if interdisciplinarity is to reign and if biolinguistics is to flourish.

Download or read book Wayfinding written by M. R. O'Connor and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once far flung and intimate, a fascinating look at how finding our way make us human. In this compelling narrative, O'Connor seeks out neuroscientists, anthropologists and master navigators to understand how navigation ultimately gave us our humanity. Biologists have been trying to solve the mystery of how organisms have the ability to migrate and orient with such precision—especially since our own adventurous ancestors spread across the world without maps or instruments. O'Connor goes to the Arctic, the Australian bush and the South Pacific to talk to masters of their environment who seek to preserve their traditions at a time when anyone can use a GPS to navigate. O’Connor explores the neurological basis of spatial orientation within the hippocampus. Without it, people inhabit a dream state, becoming amnesiacs incapable of finding their way, recalling the past, or imagining the future. Studies have shown that the more we exercise our cognitive mapping skills, the greater the grey matter and health of our hippocampus. O'Connor talks to scientists studying how atrophy in the hippocampus is associated with afflictions such as impaired memory, dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, depression and PTSD. Wayfinding is a captivating book that charts how our species' profound capacity for exploration, memory and storytelling results in topophilia, the love of place. "O'Connor talked to just the right people in just the right places, and her narrative is a marvel of storytelling on its own merits, erudite but lightly worn. There are many reasons why people should make efforts to improve their geographical literacy, and O'Connor hits on many in this excellent book—devouring it makes for a good start." —Kirkus Reviews

Book Synopsis The Hidden Realities of Life by : Kehinde Ezekiel
Download or read book The Hidden Realities of Life written by Kehinde Ezekiel and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2024-08-16 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reality has seven letters which is common to the generality of human existence and it is the medium through which the literal meaning of life are unraveled to us but when given keen glances, it is ideally related to seven days of the week we are globally familiar with and several secrets of life that are noteworthy and will be mind-blowing to us when discovered. This number connotes perfection in Hebrew linguistic parlance but expedient enough to have prompt sensitivity into its nature (enquiry, cause and effect), which brought about the constant need to understudy unfamiliar forces in our everyday engagement. These forces are realities that has been dominating the affairs of man since the time of creation, they are cogent factors that are associated with the complexities of modern experience like the consumables we utilize daily and the facts that are yet to be known as time advances becoming days, turning into months and years that culminated in history. These forces kept repeating themselves without prior or later awareness of what we are going through, let alone discover solutions to proffer in order to keep escaping what isn’t glaring. To us, it is life – an unrealized entity for that matter and we are living it to the fullest. The book series “the hidden realities of life” volume 1 is a change of perspective from the usual; a call to action that can help retrace the steps of man towards the right path; a great eye opener for individuals who want to keep sharpening their sight for improved perception; an enabler to stand out by remaining on the shoulders of many giants (great predecessors); and immense records of some of the limitations of man with experimented tips to keep avoiding invincible loopholes in life which necessitated the disclosure of uncommon realities that has been made obvious in this exposition.

Book Synopsis A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry by : Uriah Kfir
Download or read book A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry written by Uriah Kfir and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry takes a ground-breaking approach to the relationships between centers of medieval Hebrew poetry and their implications regarding matters of poetics. It shows on the one hand how literary efforts by members of the Spanish school of secular poetry, from its zenith in the eleventh century to the thirteenth century, helped gradually shape its predominance. On the other hand, it presents thirteenth century Hebrew poets from Iraq, Egypt, Italy and Provence, and charts the different strategies of these “peripheral” authors, who had to cope with Iberian fame. The analysis, which draws on concepts from literary and cultural theories, provides close readings of many works in both the original Hebrew and, in most cases for the first time, an English translation. "Kfir’s book makes a strong case for the craft, vibrancy, and richness of Medieval Hebrew poetry as rooted in place. Highly recommended for scholars of medieval Hebrew poetry, poetry aficionados, and historians." - David B. Levy, Touro College, in: Association of Jewish LIbraries 8.4 (2018)
