Book Synopsis Concreteness in Grammar by : Lise M. Dobrin

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores the role of phonological form in the noun class systems of the Arapesh languages, which are spoken in Papua New Guinea. Linguists have long known that formal criteria play a role alongside semantics in the classification of lexical items, resulting in generalizations of the familiar type "nouns ending in -a are feminine." But the extent to which such patterns pervade the grammatical systems of the Arapesh languages is remarkable. In Arapesh, virtually every possible noun-final sound is represented in the paradigm of noun class and agreement markers, reflecting an interpenetration of sound structure and grammar that many theories would disallow as wildly unconstrained. Concreteness in Grammar describes these formal patterns so as to reveal their naturalness and elegance, establishing their place in a typology of noun class systems and drawing out their significance for theories of grammatical architecture"--Provided by publisher.
Book Synopsis Concreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology by : Luciano L'Abate
Download or read book Concreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology written by Luciano L'Abate and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative volume updates L' Abate's signature ideas, focusing in particular on the concepts of concreteness and specificity as basic tenets of evaluation and therapy. Noting society's growing familiarity with technology, current concerns about treatment accessibility, and widespread interest in wellness promotion, he argues for remote-writing exercises targeted to specific client issues and monitored by the clinician instead of relying on traditional talk-based therapy. This attention to concreteness and specificity in baseline evaluation, post-treatment evaluation, and follow-up, the author asserts, is central to making treatment replicable, less subject to impasses or missteps, and more professional, with the potential of changing how therapy is conducted as well as how clinicians are trained and practice. The book's framework includes rationales, models, empirical data, and examples of prescriptive remote-writing exercises. Featured in the coverage: Online interventions: here to stay and to grow. Verifiability in clinical psychology practices. Present status and future perspectives for personality and family assessment. Practice without theory/combining theory with practice. Toward a unifying framework of human relationships PIPES: Programmed Interactive Practice Exercise and Prescriptions. Concreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology will bring a new level of discussion and debate among clinical psychology practitioners and practicing psychotherapists in private practice and the public sector.
Download or read book Symphonic Stalinism written by Jiří Smrž and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soviet system of rule that developed under Stalin featured management of the arts by political authorities, and the main doctrine inspiring and justifying this activity was "socialist realism." The definition of socialist realism emerged through a fluid process, marked by twists and turns and at times even contestation, in which critics, scholars, and creators alike gave the doctrine practical meaning. Symphonic Stalinism tells this story for music, and author Jiri Smrz examines it in much greater detail than any other scholar before him. In the process, Smrz emphasizes the crucial role played by musicologists, which was probably unique in the history of that discipline internationally. (Series: Osteuropa - Vol. 4)
Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Hegel as a Doctrine of the Concreteness of God and Humanity by : I. A. Il'in
Download or read book The Philosophy of Hegel as a Doctrine of the Concreteness of God and Humanity written by I. A. Il'in and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of volume 2 of Philip T. Grier’s translation of The Philosophy of Hegel as a Doctrine of the Concreteness of God and Humanity completes the first appearance in English of any of the works of Russian philosopher I. A. Il’in (Ilyin). Most of the contents of volume 2 will be unknown even to those who have read the 1946 German version prepared by Il’in, because in that version he omitted eight of the original ten chapters. These omitted chapters provide an extended reflection on the central categories of Hegel’s moral, legal, and political philosophies, as well as of the philosophy of history. The topics examined are, in order: freedom, humanity, will, right, morality, ethical life, personhood and its virtue, and the state. Contained within these chapters are some notably insightful expositions of core doctrines in Hegel’s philosophy. Il’in’s colleague A. F. Losev accurately observed in the same year the text first appeared: “Neither the study of Hegel nor the study of contemporary Russian philosophical thought is any longer thinkable without this book of I. A. Il’in’s.”

Book Synopsis Philosophical Horizons by : Yang Guorong
Download or read book Philosophical Horizons written by Yang Guorong and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Yang Guorong is one of the foremost living philosophers in China, and is widely known for the development of his “concrete metaphysics.” In Philosophical Horizons Yang offers penetrating discussions of some of the most important issues in modern philosophy—especially those topics related to comparative and Chinese philosophy. Drawing freely and adroitly on Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist texts, while staging a dialogue with Western thinkers such as from Kant and Hegel to Marx, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein, Yang shows how contemporary Chinese philosophy has adopted, localized, and critically developed Western ideas alongside traditional Chinese concepts.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Embodied Psychology by : Michael D. Robinson
Download or read book Handbook of Embodied Psychology written by Michael D. Robinson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume seeks to integrate research and scholarship on the topic of embodiment, with the idea being that thinking and feeling are often grounded in more concrete representations related to perception and action. The book centers on psychological approaches to embodiment and includes chapters speaking to development as well as clinical issues, though a larger number focus on topics related to cognition and neuroscience as well as social and personality psychology. These topical chapters are linked to theory-based chapters centered on interoception, grounded cognition, conceptual metaphor, and the extended mind thesis. Further, a concluding section speaks to critical issues such as replication concerns, alternative interpretations, and future directions. The final result is a carefully conceived product that is a comprehensive and well-integrated volume on the psychology of embodiment. The primary audience for this book is academic psychologists from many different areas of psychology (e.g., social, developmental, cognitive, clinical). The secondary audience consists of disciplines in which ideas related to embodied cognition figure prominently, such as counseling, education, biology, and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Functionalist Construction Work in Social Science by : Peter Sohlberg
Download or read book Functionalist Construction Work in Social Science written by Peter Sohlberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of the complex consequences of social processes and social design activities necessitates a holistic systemic perspective, systematised in the classic structural-functional research tradition, which is presented in Functionalist Construction Work in Social Science. In contrast to fragmented discussions of functionalism and functional analyses, the approach here covers a span ranging from ontological, epistemological and primarily methodological aspects of functionalism. The functionalist tradition in social science is placed in a historic context, and problematised from a philosophy of science perspective. Unique here is a detailed account of four classic functionalist research programmes with a discussion of functionalism, not primarily as a worldview, but as systematic knowledge-generating research strategies. In addition to descriptive and causal questions, the importance of a further research question is demonstrated, i.e., the identification of crucial problems of social organisation. Functionalist research strategies and functional analysis are of interest for social scientists and students in sociology, political science, and social anthropology. Moreover, the book is relevant for researchers and students of philosophy of science and social science methodology
Book Synopsis History of Political Ideas by : Eric Voegelin
Download or read book History of Political Ideas written by Eric Voegelin and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume six presents four long chapters which justify the opening words of Voegelin's (1901-1985) best known book, The New Science of Politics: "The existence of man in political society is historical existence; and a theory of politics, if it penetrates to the principles, must at the same time be a theory of history." Voegelin discusses the conflict between Bishop Bossuet and Voltaire concerning the relationship between what is conventionally identified as sacred history and profane history. This volume also includes a textual analysis of Giambattista Vico's La scienza nuova, which can be read (with the chapters on Bodin and Schelling in other volumes) as an element of Voegelin's own spiritual autobiography.
