This book analyzes the linguistic diversity of South America based on approaches deeply rooted in the tradition of formal grammar. The chapters brought together in this contributed volume consider native languages all kinds of languages used in the region, including sign languages, indigenous languages and the romance languages (Portuguese and Spanish) originally introduced by European colonizers which underwent processes of transformation giving rise to new, local grammars. One fourth of the language families of the world are located in South America, but the majority of languages in the region are still understudied and out of the radar of theoretical linguistics mostly because their gramm...

este livro propõe um novo enfoque para as ações por atos de improbidade administrativa e contra as condutas lesivas previstas na Lei Anticorrupção. Trata-se de envolver o cidadão e a sociedade na busca pela reparação de tais ilícitos, através da concessão de legitimidade ativa para que pessoas físicas ou jurídicas, de natureza privada, possam se somar aos esforços estatais no combate a atos de corrupção. Como estímulo, e tendo por base a experiência do Direito estadunidense com o False Claims Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act e Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, há de ser oferecida uma recompensa ao autor privado, dedutível do resultado do processo. Com efeito, trata-se de uma mudança sensível de perspectiva para o Direito brasileiro, mas que encontra respaldo no princípio republicano e nos princípios que regem a higidez da Administração Pública. Deste modo, a partir de inspirações de Direito Comparado, busca-se aperfeiçoar os mecanismos de combate à improbidade administrativa e aos atos lesivos praticados contra a Administração, mediante o envolvimento de novos sujeitos neste embate.

The story of a neural impulse and what it reveals about how our brains work We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips “spikes.” Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide. In The Spike, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to u...
