Variation in Datives collects new research on the nature of syntactic micro-variation in datives. The papers in this volume examine different aspects of internal variation in dative marking, such as agreement and case alternations, distribution of adpositional structures and dative case-marking, the different structural positions of dative arguments and their semantic contribution, and patterns of syncretism in the clitic and/or agreement system. Interest in these topics has grown significantly in the past 20 years. Variation in Datives makes a significant contribution to our understanding of language variation, as it adds the micro-comparative perspective to the general discussion and includes 10 new articles on a wide range of European languages, including Greek, Basque, Icelandic, and Serbo-Croatian. Variation in Datives will appeal to scholars and advanced students of syntax, linguistic variation, and especially syntactic micro-variation.
This book is an endeavor to present and analyze some standard topics in the grammar of Basque from a micro-comparative perspective. From case and agreement to word order and the left periphery, and including an incursion into determiners, the book combines fine-grained theoretical analyses with empirically detailed descriptions. Working from a micro-parametric perspective, the contributions to the volume address in depth some of the exuberant variation attested in the different dialects and subdialects of Basque. At the same time, although the contributions focus mainly on Basque data, cross-linguistic evidence is also presented and discussed. After all, the goal pursued in this book is to attempt to explain variation in Basque as a particular instantiation of variation in human language at large. The volume presents and analyzes a wide range of empirical phenomena, many typologically marked among European languages, and will therefore be a welcome resource to linguists looking for detailed description and/or theoretical discussion.
"This Handbook presents...information about the inter-American system generally and, in particular, as it relates to the prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment."--
The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.
Provides short biographies of more than 175 notable Hispanic American athletes.
This comprehensive treatment of several phenomena in Distributed Morphology explores a number of topics of high relevance to current linguistic theory. It examines the structure of the syntactic and postsyntactic components of word formation, and the role of hierarchical, featural, and linear restrictions within the auxiliary systems of several varieties of Basque. The postsyntactic component is modeled as a highly articulated system that accounts for what is shared and what exhibits variation across Basque dialects. The emphasis is on a principled ordering of postsyntactic operations based on their intrinsic properties, and on the relationship between representations in the Spellout component of grammar with other grammatical modules. The analyses in the book treat related phenomena in other languages and thereby have much to offer for a general morphology readership, as well as those interested in the syntax-morphology interface, the theory of Distributed Morphology, and Basque.
"1. The book offers teacher educators and stakeholders an overview of accountability in the era of education reform and embraces teacher education accountability as a lever for reconstructing its targets, purposes, and consequences in keeping with the larger democratic project. 2. The book introduces a framework, eight dimensions of accountability, for interrogating dimensions of accountability policy and practice by revealing an accountability initiative's operation but also exposing underlying values and principles, theory of change, and relationship to larger political and policy agendas. 3. Using the authors' framework, eight dimensions of accountability, the book deconstructs four of the most visible education reform initiatives relevant to teacher educators and education stakeholders. The book proposes a rallying call to teacher educators and stakeholders to reclaim accountability using a new approach: democratic accountability in teacher education" --
This course contains a brief and mathematically precise introduction to the conceptual body, and calculation tools, of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics. It is addressed to undergraduate students. The introduction is performed using the semiclassical framework, where Newton´s Classical Mechanics and Relativity as the reference points. Feynman's propagation is used as an axiomatic basis for Quantum Mechanics, completed with the generally admitted ideas about the measurement problem. As a book, it has been revised and re-edited in 2016, 2018 and 2022, and it is now available from Amazon KDP in paperback and as a Kindle Book (see https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V3X4YK1 in US).
Covers receipts and expenditures of appropriations and other funds.
Nowadays, more than 850 million people worldwide suffer from kidney disease. Over the last ten years, new therapeutic options have been discovered for slowing down chronic kidney disease progression. In this book, new multidisciplinary strategies (e.g., related to nephrology, cardiology, primary care, endocrinology, etc.) for treating patients suffering from chronic kidney disease - with and without diabetes - are fully explained and detailed. This book will give the reader the opportunity to delve into the risk factors for chronic kidney disease progression and its multifactorial treatment, to analyze the classical renin-angiotensin system protection, and to examine in depth the new strategies already present on the market for delaying kidney disease progression and decreasing cardiovascular risk in patients at high risk of cardiovascular mortality. Even though in the last decade the future of people with chronic kidney has clearly improved, the implementation of already accepted renoprotective strategies and new therapies is still crucial to prevent kidney disease from progressing to its end stage.
