Face à l'avenir : les enseignants en langues à travers l'Europe

On the Borders of Convention
The research presented in this book is authored by scholars coming from as distant regions as South Africa, the United States of America, Great Britain, France, Italy, Belarus, the Balkans. Needless to say that one of the good things about this international cooperation is that owing to their different socio-cultural backgrounds, these scholars have contributed to producing an extremely varied picture of ways of approaching the challenge of a changing world. The papers on literature and culture collected in this book contribute a further element of rigour into the discussion of numerous and always varying and changing borders of convention in a literary text, literary genre, and literary the...

English Complex Words is a lively, essential companion for multilingual explorations of word-formation processes, both in English and across 40 other languages. It offers today’s broadest available coverage of English prefixation, suffixation and compounding.

Readers will become familiar with 96 affixes and 13 compound types by working through thought-provoking morphological cases and their construction patterns. Through these challenging and hands-on activities, junior researchers identify morphological nuances among multiple languages. Instructors in multilingual classrooms can find satisfying activities to address the needs of international students.

As a supplemental source, it may suit a range of Linguistics courses directed at both graduate and undergraduate students.
The Typology of Physical Qualities
What is it like? – This is often the first question we ask about any object, and it is typically answered with adjectives: old, smooth, pointed, narrow, etc. Characteristics of things around us is a fundamental aspect of how we conceptualize the physical world, regardless of when or where we live – and regardless of our language. Despite this, the vocabulary of physical qualities has received comparatively little attention in lexical typology: most research so far has focused on verbs and the actions they express. This volume presents a lexico-typological study of several domains of physical qualities: ‘sharp’/‘blunt’, ‘wet’, ‘empty’/‘full’, ‘old’, as well as dimensions temperature and surface texture. It discusses several theoretical issues including intragenetic language sampling, the possibility of signed vs. spoken language comparison at the lexicon level, and the potential of applying computational models of distributional semantics to lexical typology. The book will be of interest to linguists with a focus on typology, general and lexical semantics, to lexicographers, and to language students and teachers.
The Poetics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Postmodern Literature
The Poetics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Postmodern Literature provides an interdisciplinary exploration in early medical trauma treatment and the emergent postmodern canon of the 1960s and 1970s.

Performing a...

Problem povečevanja človeške energije [prva izdaja]
Poljudno-znanstveni traktat s polnim naslovom Problem povečevanja človeške energije s posebnim ozirom na pridobivanje energije Sonca, ki ga prvič predstavljamo v slovenskem prevodu, je Nikola Tesla objavil leta 1900 v junijski številki Century Magazine. V spisu je na podlagi spoznanj, pridobljenih na eksperimentalni postaji, ki jo je med 1899 in 1900 zgradil v Colorado Springsu, podal razloge za raziskave, ki so ga pripeljale do razvoja brezžičnega sistema prenosa električne energije. Ob predstavitvi svoje družbene teorije, teorije vojne in filozofije družbenotransformativnih tehnologij je raziskoval tudi možnosti izdelave »samogibnega toplotnega motorja«, ki bi vso pogonsko mo...
