Kieli ja eläin
This collection of articles sheds light on the role of human language in interspecies interaction. The book shows that language is not necessarily what separates us from other creatures. It can also be seen as yet another dimension of human existence that is deeply rooted in our shared history and everyday life with other living beings. This volume contains six individual research articles, two short reviews, an opening introduction to the themes of the book, and an extensive, theoretical closing chapter. The studies draw on methodologies and theoretical approaches including conversation analysis and a cognitive, usage-based approach to grammatical constructions. The book further explores th...
The Finnish Case System
The Finnish language is perhaps best known for its rich case system. Depending on the definition of a case, Finnish has at least fourteen, possibly fifteen or even more cases. This volume is the first comprehensive English-language account of the Finnish case system, focusing primarily on its semantic functions. This collection of articles presents an up-to-date overview of the Finnish case system, analyses central subsystems within it, and offers data-based analyses of the functions of individual cases. The authors approach Finnish cases from different perspectives within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. The volume also addresses more general topics, such as the notion of case, questions of polysemy, the traditional division of cases into grammatical and semantic, the relationship between inflection and derivation as well as the role of inflection in the structuring of the categories of adpositions and adverbs. The book will be of interest to linguists and students as well as to those readers who are not familiar with cognitive linguistics. The analyses presented here will be relevant to anyone investigating the essence of case and the emergence of linguistic meaning.

Case, Animacy and Semantic Roles
The chapters of this volume scrutinize the interplay of different combinations of case, animacy and semantic roles, thus contributing to our understanding of these notions in a novel way. The focus of the chapters lies on showing how animacy affects argument marking. Unlike previous studies, these chapters primarily deal with lesser studied phenomena, such as animacy effects on spatial cases and the differences between cases and adpositions in the coding of spatial relations. In addition, theoretical and diachronic issues related to case and semantic roles are also discussed; for example, what is case, how do cases develop and what are the functional differences between cases and adpositions? The chapters deal with a variety of different languages including Uralic languages, Indo-European languages, Basque, Korean and Vaeakau-Taumako. The book is appealing to anyone interested in case, animacy and/or semantic roles.
Birkenaun aikakirjat
Tositapahtumiin perustuva romaani kertoo taikurista, jonka taitoja tarvitaan keskitysleirin vankien kapinassa. Auschwitzin taikurin tarina huipentuu romaanissa Birkenaun aikakirjat. Se pohjautuu autenttisiin, käsin kirjoitettuihin selontekoihin, joita kaasukammioihin työskentelemään pakotetut vangit piilottivat keskitysleirin krematorioiden läheisyyteen. Ainutlaatuisen koskettava romaani tuo uuden näkökulman holokaustiin ja antaa äänen niille, jotka eivät selvinneet. Juutalainen taikuri Herbert Levin, hänen vaimonsa ja poikansa on kuljetettu Auschwitziin, jossa he yrittävät selviytyä. Siellä on myös portugalilainen Fransisco Latino, joka on värväytynyt SS-joukkoihin löytä...
A Poetics Handbook

It is richly documented with concrete examples, particularly from Hungarian and other languages and traditions of Europe.
