Physics of Quantum Fluids
The study of quantum fluids, stimulated by the discovery of superfluidity in liquid helium, has experienced renewed interest after the observation of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in ultra-cold atomic gases and the observation a new type of quantum fluid with specific characteristics derived from its intrinsic out-of-equilibrium nature. The main objective of this book is to take a snapshot of the state-of-the-art of this fast moving field with a special emphasis on the hot topics and new trends. Bringing together the most active specialists of the two areas (atomic and polaritonic quantum fluids), we expect that this book will facilitate the exchange and the collaboration between these two communities working on subjects with very strong analogies.
Contrastive Phraseology
This volume is addressed to researchers in the field of phraseology, and to teachers, translators and lexicographers. It is a collection of essays offering a comprehensive, modern analysis of phrasemes, embracing a wide range of subjects and themes, from linguistic, both applied and theoretical, to cultural aspects. The contrastive approach underlying this variety of themes allows the divergences and analogies between phraseological units in two or more languages to be outlined. The languages compared here are both major and minor, European and non-European, and the text includes contrastive analyses of the most commonly investigated languages (French-German, English-Spanish, Russian-German), as well as some less frequently investigated languages (like Ukrainian, Romanian, Georgian and Thai), which are not as well-represented in phraseological description, despite their scientific interest.
Exciton Polaritons in Microcavities
In the past decade, there has been a burst of new and fascinating physics associated to the unique properties of two-dimensional exciton polaritons, their recent demonstration of condensation under non-equilibrium conditions and all the related quantum phenomena, which have stimulated extensive research work. This monograph summarizes the current state of the art of research on exciton polaritons in microcavities: their interactions, fast dynamics, spin-dependent phenomena, temporal and spatial coherence, condensation under non-equilibrium conditions, related collective quantum phenomena and most advanced applications. The monograph is written by the most active authors who have strongly contributed to the advances in this area. It is of great interests to both physicists approaching this subject for the first time, as well as a wide audience of experts in other disciplines who want to be updated on this fast moving field.
Language Production, Cognition, and the Lexicon
The book collects contributions from well-established researchers at the interface between language and cognition. It provides an overview of the latest insights into this interdisciplinary field from the perspectives of natural language processing, computer science, psycholinguistics and cognitive science. One of the pioneers in cognitive natural language processing is Michael Zock, to whom this volume is dedicated. The structure of the book reflects his main research interests: lexicon and lexical analysis, semantics, language and speech generation, reading and writing technologies, language resources and language engineering. The book is a valuable reference work and authoritative informa...
Radical Democracy and Populism
This book offers an extensive comparative analysis of populism and radical democratic theories, tracing the line dividing the respective conceptions of ‘people’ and ‘popular sovereignty’. Whereas populism is often said to intertwine with democracy in some way, the contention of this book is that it significantly departs from democratic theory and practice, and belongs to a distinct conceptual space. It cannot be made to overlap, for instance, with “illiberal democracy”, the “democratic myth”, a crude electoral majoritarianism, nor can it amount to hiding undemocratic policies into properly democratic justifications. These positions, frequent as they are in the literature, are...
LCM Journal Vol 1 (2014) - No 1-2
Lingue Culture Mediazioni / Languages Cultures Mediation, edited by the Department of Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication of Università degli Studi di Milano, is a peer-reviewed open-access journal which aims to investigate the linguistic and cultural phenomena characterising the contemporary world, and explore them in the context of the highly intricate web of historical, geographical, social and legal factors in which they are set. Lingue Culture Mediazioni / Languages Cultures Mediation, pubblicata a cura del Dipartimento di Scienze della Mediazione Linguistica e di Studi Interculturali dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, è una rivista open access soggetta a peer-review che si propone di indagare i fenomeni linguistici e culturali propri del mondo contemporaneo nel contesto delle fitte reti di fattori storici, geografici, sociali e giuridici ad essi sottostanti.
L’unité en sciences du langage
Les lexicologues, terminologues et traducteurs savent très bien qu’il n’est pas facile d’arriver à un consensus large sur des concepts, pourtant fondamentaux, comme la lexie, le lemme, le terme ou l’unité de traduction. On connaît parfaitement aussi, pour les avoir souvent subis, les inconvénients sérieux que présente le manque d’une définition formelle et largement acceptée par la communauté scientifique de ces notions-clés. Cependant, la question de l’unité ne s’épuise pas là. La double face du signe saussurien a cédé progressivement la place à une conception triadique comprenant signifié, signifiant et combinatoire. Il va de soi que cette formule compositio...
