Mute Speech / Jacques Rancière

Public ISBD Titre : Mute Speech : Literature, Critical Theory, and Politics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jacques Rancière, Auteur ; Gabriel Rockhill, Auteur ; James Swenson, Traducteur Editeur : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 208 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 centimetres (0.45 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-231-15102-3 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Literature, Critical Theory, and Politics. Résumé : Jacques Ranciere has continually unsettled political discourse, particularly through his questioning of aesthetic "distributions of the sensible," which configure the limits of what can be seen and said. Widely recognized as a seminal work in Ranci re's corpus, the translation of which is long overdue, Mute Speech is an intellectual tour de force proposing a new framework for thinking about the history of art and literature. Ranci re argues that our current notion of "literature" is a relatively recent creation, having first appeared in the wake of the French Revolution and with the rise of Romanticism. In its rejection of the system of representational hierarchies that had constituted belles-letters, "literature" is founded upon a radical equivalence in which all things are possible expressions of the life of a people. With an analysis reaching back to Plato, Aristotle, the German Romantics, Vico, and Cervantes and concluding with brilliant readings of Flaubert, Mallarm , and Proust, Ranci re demonstrates the uncontrollable democratic impulse lying at the heart of literature's still-vital capacity for reinvention.

Sounds Fascinating / John C. Wells

Public ISBD Titre : Sounds Fascinating : Further Observations on English Phonetics and Phonology Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John C. Wells, Auteur Editeur : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 284P. Format : 24.5X17CM. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-316-61036-7 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:421 writing system : phonetics of standard english Mots-clés : Phonetics  Phonology . Résumé : 'A key property of an insightful author is the ability to articulate observations about the world that a reader may have made only passively, and to force her to consider them more deliberately. Wells, long a talented guide to the world of phonetics in this way, lavishes us with more of his colorful contemplations in this new volume.' Jason B. Bishop, City University of New York 'Once again, John Wells shares his brilliant expertise through a series of new, informative anecdotes. Sounds Fascinating is an excellent companion piece to Sounds Interesting and will be deeply appreciated by those curious about the inner workings of language. Intelligent, entertaining, and eminently practical, this is another 'must-have' for the bookshelf of any language enthusiast.' Anne E. Schilling, Southern Methodist University, Texas 'Wells continues to draw his readers in with his good humour coupled with authoritativeness when he comments about how words are written and pronounced. In the background, but equally fascinating, is Wells's full life accompanying his phonetics: his childhood in the vicarage in Northern England, his school years, his travels, his work, and his retirement.' Peter K. W. Tan, National University of SingaporeHow do you pronounce biopic, synod, and Breughel? - and why? Do our cake and archaic sound the same? Where does the stress go in stalagmite? What's odd about the word epergne? Pontcysyllte is obviously Welsh, but Penge is Welsh too! How cool is Caol in the Highlands of Scotland? What can Wesley's hymns tell us about sound change in English? How do people pronounce Wrocław in Poland? How can anyone manage to say Gdynia as just two syllables? Why is the village of Frith in the island of Montserrat usually pronounced as if spelt Frits? What embarrassing faux pas in English did a Russian conglomerate make? Should I bild a cubbard instead of building a cupboard? How should we capitalize an exclamation mark, and why might we need to? What's a depressor consonant? As a finale, the author writes a letter to his 16-year-old self. Sounds Fascinating : Further Observations on English Phonetics and Phonology [texte imprimé] / John C.

The Language Myth / Evans Vyvyan

Public ISBD Titre : The Language Myth : Why Language Is Not an Instinct Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Evans Vyvyan, Auteur Editeur : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 314p. Format : 13.5x21.5cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-61975-3 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : language  instinct  Myth  fact. Résumé : Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human 'instinct' pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth. Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human 'instinct' pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Vyvyan Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth. Debunking the notion of a language 'instinct', Evans demonstrates that language is related to other animal forms of communication; that languages exhibit staggering diversity; that we learn our mother tongue drawing on general properties and abilities of the human mind, rather than an inborn 'universal' grammar; that language is not autonomous but is closely related to other aspects of our mental lives; and that, ultimately, language and the mind reflect and draw upon the way we interact with others in the world. Compellingly written and drawing on cutting-edge research, The Language Myth sets out a forceful alternative to the received wisdom, showing how language and the mind really work.
