Intonation in Romance
This book offers the first comprehensive description of the prosody of nine Romance languages that takes into account internal dialectal variation. Teams of experts examine the prosody of Catalan, French, Friulian, Italian, Occitan, Portuguese, Romanian, Sardinian, and Spanish using the Autosegmental Metrical framework of intonational phonology and the Tones and Breaks Indices (ToBI) transcription system. The chapters all share a common methodology, based on a common Discourse Completion Task questionnaire, and provide extensive empirical data. The authors then analyse how intonation patterns work together with other grammatical means such as syntactic constructions and discourse particles in the linguistic marking of a varied set of sentence types and pragmatic meanings across Romance languages. The ToBI prosodic systems and annotations proposed for each language are based both on a phonological analysis of the target language as well as on the shared goal of using ToBI analyses that are comparable across Romance languages. This book will pave the way for more systematic typological comparisons of prosody across both Romance and non-Romance languages.
La lingüística en España. Autobiografías intelectuales
El libro es una contribución a la historia de la lingüística, en la nueva y atractiva vertiente de las memorias personales. Consta de 24 relatos o autobiografías intelectuales de lingüistas sobresalientes, en las que describen su formación y las causas que les condujeron a la lingüística. Permiten comprender mejor el mérito de sus tareas y aportaciones. También tienden un puente entre los orígenes de la lingüística en España y el panorama actual. La obra presenta la historia como vivencia y reflexión, combina memorias personales, debates profesionales y manifiestos por una lingüística futura. Al mismo tiempo, identifica facetas de la sociedad en la que se han desarrollado esas trayectorias vitales. La escritura del yo produce de este modo un efecto sorprendente, porque trasciende la esfera del autor y plasma un panorama variado y contrastado de la lingüística contemporánea.

World Development Report 2019
Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need t...
Compendium for Early Career Researchers in Mathematics Education
The purpose of this Open Access compendium, written by experienced researchers in mathematics education, is to serve as a resource for early career researchers in furthering their knowledge of the state of the field and disseminating their research through publishing. To accomplish this, the book is split into four sections: Empirical Methods, Important Mathematics Education Themes, Academic Writing and Academic Publishing, and a section Looking Ahead. The chapters are based on workshops that were presented in the Early Career Researcher Day at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). The combination of presentations on methodological approaches and theoretical pe...
