Описание: This textbook helps undergraduate students of language and linguistics taking their first steps in one of the core areas of grammar, introducing them to the basic ideas, insights, and techniques of contemporary semantic theory. Requiring no special background knowledge, the book starts with everyday observations about word meaning and useand then hightlights the role of structure in the analysis of the meanings of phrases and clauses, zooming in on the fascinating and vexing question of how speakers manage to meaningfully communicate with sentences and texts they have never come across before. At the same time, the reader becomes acquainted with the modern, functionalist characterization of linguistic meaning in terms of reference (extension) and information (intension), and learns to apply technical tools from formal logic to analyzing the meaning of complex linguistic expressions as being composed by the meanings of their parts. Each of the nine main chapters contains a variety of exercises for self-study and classroom use, with model solutions in the appendix. Extensive English examples provide ample illustration.

Описание: During the last few decades we have discovered enormous amounts about our genomes, their evolution and, importantly for linguists and language scientists, the genetic foundations of language and speech. Accessible and readable, this introduction is designed specifically for students and researchers working in language and linguistics. It carefully focuses on the most relevant concepts, methods and findings in the genetics of language and speech, and covers a wide range of topics such as heritability, the molecular mechanisms through which genes influence our language, and the evolutionary forces affecting them. Filling a large gap in the literature, this essential guide explores relevant examples including hearing loss, stuttering, dyslexia, brain growth and development, as well as the normal range of variation. It also contains a helpful glossary of terms, and a wide range of references so the reader can pursue topics of interest in more depth.

How to Avoid Making a Fool of Yourself: An Introduction to General Semantics by Wayne Pace is a very timely book. Published at the beginning of 2017--the year after Oxford Dictionaries chose "Post-Truth" as the word of the year--it provides a good starting point for the understanding of language, its connection to concepts of truth, and its effects on behavior.
With the questions--What, Why, When, How, Where and Who--as organizing principle, the book covers all of the major concepts of General Semantics and, through multiple examples, makes clear how these are practical tools for distinguishing between different kinds of statements, and for avoiding maladjustment, aggressive or immature tendencies.
This is a very useful book for anyone trying to navigate the complex semantic environment of our time, for students of general semantics and communication and indeed, for people looking to avoid making fools of themselves. --Eva Berger School of Media Studies, COMAS, Israel Author of The Communication Panacea: Pediatric and General Semantics
This book furnishes a most practical guide for problem-solving, decision-making, interpersonal relations, self-management, and personal fulfillment. It brings the philosophy of general semantics to the challenges of everyday living and demonstrates that through its use one can live more productively and sanely. Our culture needs this book. Highly recommended. --Martin H. Levinson, President, Institute of General Semantics

This book gives a comprehensive introduction to intercultural communication in the era of globalization. The reader is introduced to essential concepts in the field, different theories and methods of analysing communication, the importance of verbal and nonverbal languages for bringing about mutual understanding and, finally, the ethical challenges that arise.
The volume also has a practical aspect. The author discusses subjects such as handling encounters with people using foreign languages; incorporating different life styles and world views; the use of interpreters; non-familiar body language; different understandings of time; relocation in new settings; the use of power and how to deal with cultural conflicts generally.
Published in English for the first time following a very successful original edition in Norwegian, this richly-illustrated book offers a refreshing and engaging introduction to intercultural understanding.
Автор: Suzanne Eggins Название: Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics: 3rd Edition ISBN: 1441129413 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781441129413 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Цена: 100320.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This new edition of the best-selling introduction to systemic functional linguistics explores the social semiotic approach to language most closely associated with the work of Michael Halliday. Systemic linguistics views language as a strategic, meaning-making resource and focuses on the analysis of authentic, everyday texts. It asks both how people use language to make meanings, and how language itself is organised to enable those meanings to be made. The third edition covers the major concepts in SFL including:• semiotic systems• genre• register• text• cohesion• grammatical metaphor• multimodalityWith its theory of the relationship between language and context, systemic linguistics has applications in many fields where an understanding of how language functions to transmit social structure is important, for example: language education, cultural studies and stylistics.The new edition features new chapters on multimodality and expressing attitude and is completely updated, covering new developments in the field including deployable functional grammar. It features exercises, questions and a companion website with student and lecturer materials and is an indispensible resource for those working with SFL.

Автор: David Wood Название: Fundamentals of Formulaic Language: An Introduction ISBN: 0567278980 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567278982 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 36950.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
This is the first book to address formulaic language directly and provide a foundation of knowledge for graduates and researchers in early stages of study of this important language phenomenon. It is also suitable for students of linguistics, applied linguistics, and language teacher education. The information that currently exists is scattered throughout articles and book chapters across a range of subfields of linguistics and applied linguistics.
Over the past few decades there has been a steadily increasing interest and research focus on the phenomenon of formulaic language in the fields of linguistics and applied linguistics. Slowly, a consistent definition has emerged, centring around the idea that formulaic sequences are multi-word units with specific meanings or functions, and some evidence points to their being processed mentally as wholes. Researchers from diverse backgrounds have identified the nature and roles of formulaic sequences in language acquisition and production, in the construction of text and discourse, in spoken and written language, and in language teaching. The increasing volume, diversity, and complexity of the state of knowledge about this emerging area of study is marshalled by this intelligent and well-written book.
