Word grammar / Kensei Sugayama ; Richard A. Hudson

Public ISBD Titre : Word grammar : new perspectives on a theory of language structure / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kensei Sugayama ; Richard A. Hudson Editeur : London : Continuum Année de publication : 2006 Importance : xviii, 232 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-8264-8645-2 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:425 English grammar Mots-clés : Dependency grammar  Grammar Comparative  Grammar general  Word order  English language  Semantics. Résumé : This book is an introduction to Word Grammar, a theory of language structure founded and developed by Dick Hudson. In this theory, language is a cognitive network - a network of concepts, words and meanings containing all the elements of a linguistic analysis. The theory of language is therefore embedded in a theory of knowledge, in which there are no boundaries between one form of knowledge and any other. The most controversial idea in Word Grammar syntax is that phrase structure is redundant, because all its work can be done by means of dependencies between individual words. Word-word dependency is therefore a key concept in Word Grammar, and the syntax and semantics of a sentence is built upon this foundation. Contributors to this volume are primarily Word Grammar grammarians from across the world. All the chapters here manifest theoretical potentialities of Word Grammar, exploring how powerful Word Grammar is to offer analysis for linguistic phenomena in various languages. The chapters come from varying perspectives and include work on a number of languages, including English, German, Japanese, Swahili, Turkish and Ancient Greek. Phenomena studied include verbal inflection, case agreement, extraction, construction and code-mixing. This collection will be of interest to academics encountering Word Grammar for the first time, or for those who are already familiar with this theory and are interested in reading how it has evolved and what its future may hold.

Advanced English Grammar / Ilse Depraetere

Public ISBD Titre : Advanced English Grammar Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ilse Depraetere, Auteur ; Chad Langford, Auteur Editeur : London : Continuum Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 362 p. Format : 23.4 x 15.5 x 2 centimetres (0.61 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4411-4931-2 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Grammar  Linguistic-Approach. Résumé : Depraetere and Langford, with 40 years of teaching experience between them, present a grammar pitched precisely at advanced learners of English who need to understand how the English language really works without getting lost in the specifics. Most linguistically-oriented grammars of English can be intimidating and complex. On the other hand, the more basic practical grammars also available are often not advanced enough. This book pulls from linguistic theory all the relevant notions that will enable the language student to fully grasp English grammar. After introducing form and function, the authors cover verbs, nouns, aspect and tense, modality and discourse. Readers are led through the underlying principles of language use, with the book presupposing only a basic grasp of linguistic terminology. It does not get bogged down in huge amounts of detail and focuses on the crucial issues. Full of exercises and with attention paid to moving the reader through their course, this is the desk reference grammar of choice for both native and non-native English speakers.

The Promise and Premise of Creativity / Eugene Eoyang

Public ISBD Titre : The Promise and Premise of Creativity : Why Comparative Literature Matters Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eugene Eoyang, Auteur Editeur : London : Continuum Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 208 p. Format : 21.6 x 13.8 x 1.8 centimetres (3.43 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4411-8103-9 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Comparative-Literature-Matters. Résumé : The Promise and Premise of Creativity considers literature in the larger context of globalization and "the clash of cultures." Refuting the view that the study of literature is "useless," Eoyang argues that it expands three distinct intellectual skills: creative imagination, vicarious sympathy, and capacious intuition. With the advent of the personal computer and the blurring of cultural and economic boundaries, it is the ability to imagine, to intuit, and to invent that will mark the educated student, and allow her to survive the rapid pace of change. As never before, the ability to empathize with other peoples, to understand cultures very different from one's own, is vital to success in a globalized world. In this, the very "uselessness" of literature may inure the mind to think creatively. Engaging with both the theory and practice of literature, its past and its potential future, Eoyang claims that our sense of the world at large, of the salient similarities and differences between cultures, would be critically diminished without comparative literature.
