Nos sete traballos que integran este libro, Henrique Monteagudo presenta unha visión global, ao tempo que matizada, do pensamento e da práctica lingüística de Castelao e da súa evolución a través do tempo.
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.
Bibliographie Linguistique/ Linguistic Bibliography is the annual bibliography of linguistics published by the Permanent International Committee of Linguists under the auspices of the International Council of Philosophy and Humanistic Studies of UNESCO. With a tradition of more than fifty years (the first two volumes, covering the years 1939-1947, were published in 1949-1950), Bibliographie Linguistique is by far the most comprehensive bibliography in the field. It covers all branches of linguistics, both theoretical and descriptive, from all geographical areas, including less known and extinct languages, with particular attention to the many endangered languages of the world. Up-to-date information is guaranteed by the collaboration of some forty contributing specialists from all over the world. With over 20,000 titles arranged according to a detailed state-of-the-art classification, Bibliographie Linguistique remains the standard reference book for every scholar of language and linguistics.
Esta coletánea de ensaios é con seguridade o libro non de ficción máis coñecido e lido en galego. Esta obra recolle as principais manifestacións políticas de Castelao, e converteuse na obra imprescindible para a comprensión do nacionalismo galego. Nesta edición o ensaio vén precedido dunha introducción escrita por Henrique Monteagudo titulada "Castelao no desterro, na guerra, no exilio, Sempre en Galiza".
Esta obra, continuación da Historia social da lingua galega, ofrece unha aproximación de conxunto ao período franquista. Nela analízase a política lingüística represiva da ditadura, consistente na imposición coactiva do castelán e na marxinación sistemática do galego, e aténdese ás dinámicas sociais que abocaron a un proceso de substitución masiva do galego. O seu foco sitúase na resistencia político-cultural galeguista, nomeadamente, na súa estratexia dirixida a constituír un sistema cultural autónomo, co idioma como o seu elemento definidor. Analízanse os avances conseguidos no estudo, cultivo e elaboración do galego e os debates públicos que se desenvolveron ao redor de todas estas cuestións.
This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
