This book describes and analyzes various changes in the distribution of copular and passive verb constructions in Old and Middle English, and, by way of these case studies, presents and tests several new theories that have major implications for construction grammar and linguistic change.
This volume advances our understanding of two highly debated aspects of grammaticalization: its relation to (inter)subjectification and its directionality. These aspects are studied with respect to such phenomena as auxiliaries, discourse markers, conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns. Bringing together a wide range of languages, the collection provides insight into the crucial dimensions of grammaticalization research.
Beyond the work of Matti Braun, the book focuses in particular on Bengali science fiction as well as aspects of modernism in India in the second half of the twentieth century. It has been developed in close cooperation with the co-editors Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, associate professor of global cultural studies in Oslo, and Beth Citron, a curator from New York specializing in modern art from South Asia.0Seeing Matti Braun?s batiks and silk paintings in the exhibition space, and how he presents historical saris in the same context, will provide an inkling of what it means that the artist examines unexpected, often little-known effects of intercultural dynamics, and reveals patterns of artisti...
Both compounds and multi-word expressions are complex lexical units, made up of at least two constituents. The most basic difference is that the former are morphological objects and the latter result from syntactic processes. However, the exact demarcation between compounds and multi-word expressions differs greatly from language to language and is often a matter of debate in and across languages. Similarly debated is whether and how these two different kinds of units complement or compete with each other. The volume presents an overview of compounds and multi-word expressions in a variety of European languages. Central questions that are discussed for each language concern the formal distin...
This collection aims to explore the transformative potential of computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing medical imaging. Medical imaging is still in a state of infancy. The interpretation of medical images is often time-consuming and subject to human error. By leveraging computer vision algorithms and AI technologies, medical imaging can be enhanced with automated analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive modelling, leading to improved accuracy, speed, and clinical outcomes. This collection provides an overview of the current state, challenges, and prospects of integrating computer vision and AI techniques into existing medical imaging technologies. Medical imaging has the potential to create a paradigm shift in healthcare in future enhancing diagnostic accuracy, personalised treatment, and overall patient care. While challenges related to data quality, interpretability, and ethics must be navigated, the future for AI based imaging technology is bright.

In much writing on language change, there is a tacit assumption that change operates on a single source construction to produce an innovative target construction. This volume challenges this assumption, by showing that many changes involve interactions between multiple source constructions. In fact, the involvement of multiple source constructions is unexceptional. The phenomenon is observed in phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. It is seen in language-internal change as well as in contact-induced change. Interactions may obtain between independent but historically related constructions as well as between historically unrelated constructions. The contributions to this volume, on the one hand, present specific case studies on changes involving multiple source constructions, in various domains of grammar and in a variety of languages. On the other hand, they discuss how such changes can be accommodated in current theoretical models of language. Originally published in Studies in Language Vol. 37:3 (2013).
