The ultimate aim of every linguistic tradition is to go beyond the purely descriptive level and seek an explanation for linguistic phenomena. Traditions differ, however, with regard to the class of linguistic phenomena they wish to explain and the framework in which they define their explanation. In this volume the English translation is presented of the treatise on linguistic explanation by the 10th-century Arab grammarian az-Za?????, one of the most original thinkers of the Arabic tradition. He worked in a period in which the influence of Greek logic and philosophy made itself felt in almost all Arabo-Islamic disciplines. Some of the problems he deals with are familiar to modern linguists (e.g., morphological segmentation, categorization of parts of speech), others are comprehensible only within the frame of reference of Arabic linguistics (e.g., the declension of the verb). An extensive commentary on the text analyzes the problems discussed, both within the Arabic tradition and from the point of view of modern linguistics. Apart from the index of names and terms, there is an index of subjects which enables the general reader to consult text and comments on specific key notions.
Cengiz Dağcı, O Topraklar Bizimdi romanında bizleri yine mahzun Türk ülkesi Kırım’a götürüyor. Bu kez başkent Akmescit’in Çukurca köyüne… Onlar da İnsandı romanından tanıdığımız Çilingir’in oğlu Selim, Kızıltaş sürgününden kurtulduktan sonra Akmescit’te Rus eğitimi almış ve Çukurca köyüne Kolhoz reisi olarak dönmüştür.

This book brings together a range of hip hop scholars, artists and activists working on Hip Hop in the Global North and South with the goal of advancing Hiphopographic research as a critical methodology with critical fieldwork methods that can provide a critical perspective of our world. The authors’ focus in this volume is to present an anthology of essays that expand the remit of Hiphopography as an approach to the study of Hip Hop that is not only sensitive to the social, economic, political and cultural lives of Hip Hop Culture participants as interpreters and theorists, but one that continues to humanize the “whole person” behind the decks, on the mic, rocking on the linoleum floor, painting in front of a wall, and seeking that Knowledge of Self. This book will be relevant to Hip Hop scholars in fields such as cultural studies and history, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and ethnography, and race studies, while Hip Hop heads themselves will find parts of this book that represent their culture in ethical and informative ways.

Yirminci yüzyıl boyunca kurulmuş ulus-devletler, tarih yazmak konusunda kendilerinden önce hüküm sürmüş devletlerden daha zor görevler biçtiler. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti de bu geç ulus-devletlerden biri olarak, benzer bir yol tuttu kendine. Önce resmî tarih, devletlûlarca bilinmesi istenilenlerin sunulduğu bir tarih anlatısı tedavüle sokuldu. Bu tarihin içinde büyük kahramanlar ve zavallı hainler yer alıyor, kahramanların her yaptığı doğru sayılırken, kahraman olarak sunulmayanların her tecrübesi reddediliyordu. Eğitim vasıtasıyla bu tarih anlatısı kendinden başka herkese, her topluluğa düşman bir milliyetçi dil ve ideolojiyi benimseyerek serpildi, ger...
