Book Synopsis Caught in the Web of Words by : Katherine Maud Elisabeth Murray
Download or read book Caught in the Web of Words written by Katherine Maud Elisabeth Murray and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and celebrated biography describes how a largely self-educated boy from a small village in Scotland entered the world of scholarship and became the first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary and a great lexicographer. It also provides an absorbing account of how the dictionary was written, the personalities of the people working on it, and the endless difficulties that nearly led to the whole enterprise being abandoned. "It is a magnificent story of a magnificent man, one of the finest biographies of the twentieth century, as its subject was one of the finest human beings of the nineteenth." --Anthony Burgess "A moving and dramatic story . . . sometimes tragic, often comic, ultimately triumphant." --Times (London) "A biography that possesses many of the virtues of James Murray himself--grace, humor, intelligence, curiosity, and scholarship." --Time "In her vivid biography, Murray's granddaughter brings his remarkable personality to life, and provides an unexpectedly fascinating account of the OED's long and difficult birth." --Times Literary Supplement "A gripping, engaging story; endearing, too. The daily round of a big Victorian family, with its jokes, games, and treasured seaside holidays, is entrancingly evoked." --Sunday Times (London)
Book Synopsis Words on the Web by : Simon Shurville
Download or read book Words on the Web written by Simon Shurville and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in technology have made this a crucial moment for those people studying language behaviour. This book places the reader at the heart of the investigations into what happens when people use language to communicate via computers. New communication technologies - video conferencing, email and the World Wide Web - have provided a whole new range of ways to interact with others, and students can now observe the emergence and rapid development of linguistic and social conventions for using these media. The studies in this volume consider what people say when interacting with others via new technologies, and the ways in which we mould and combine the written, the spoken and the non-verbal in order to express ourselves effectively within the confines of the new media available to us. The breadth of activities covered here is extensive, including: informal activities such as email and chat-room use educational uses of CMC, for collaborative learning and language practice integration of CMC into formal work practice - for instance, in an ambulance dispatch centre. The scope of the book ranges from Conversation Analysis to Genre Theory and from Social Psychology to Politeness Theory. There is much to contemplate for both designers of new communication as well as those commissioning and buying these technologies for our homes, schools and workplaces. The collection of work here has been edited to recognise the range of disciplines looking to this field and is of direct interest to any linguist, psychologist or other social scientist working in the study of human communication.

Book Synopsis The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet by : Jeff Kosseff
Download or read book The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet written by Jeff Kosseff and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on CBS 60 Minutes "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." Did you know that these twenty-six words are responsible for much of America's multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and cannot write, say, and do online is based on just one law—a law that protects online services from lawsuits based on user content. Jeff Kosseff exposes the workings of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which has lived mostly in the shadows since its enshrinement in 1996. Because many segments of American society now exist largely online, Kosseff argues that we need to understand and pay attention to what Section 230 really means and how it affects what we like, share, and comment upon every day. The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet tells the story of the institutions that flourished as a result of this powerful statute. It introduces us to those who created the law, those who advocated for it, and those involved in some of the most prominent cases decided under the law. Kosseff assesses the law that has facilitated freedom of online speech, trolling, and much more. His keen eye for the law, combined with his background as an award-winning journalist, demystifies a statute that affects all our lives –for good and for ill. While Section 230 may be imperfect and in need of refinement, Kosseff maintains that it is necessary to foster free speech and innovation.

Book Synopsis Lexical Meaning in Context by : Nicholas Asher
Download or read book Lexical Meaning in Context written by Nicholas Asher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the meanings of words and how they can combine to form larger meaningful units, as well as how they can fail to combine when the amalgamation of a predicate and argument would produce what the philosopher Gilbert Ryle called a 'category mistake'. It argues for a theory in which words get assigned both an intension and a type. The book develops a rich system of types and investigates its philosophical and formal implications, for example the abandonment of the classic Church analysis of types that has been used by linguists since Montague. The author integrates fascinating and puzzling observations about lexical meaning into a compositional semantic framework. Adjustments in types are a feature of the compositional process and account for various phenomena including coercion and copredication. This book will be of interest to semanticists, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists alike.
