Semi-lexical Categories
The distinction between functional categories and lexical categories is at the heart of present-day grammatical theory, in theories on language acquisition, code-switching and aphasia. At the same time, it has become clear, however, that there are many lexical items for which it is less easy to decide whether they side with the lexical categories or the functional ones. This book deals with the grammatical behavior of such in- between-categories, which are referred to here as "semi-lexical categories".
If Sharks Disappeared
A healthy ocean is home to many different kinds of animals. They can be big, like a whale, tiny, like a shrimp, and even scary, like a shark. Even though sharks can be scary, we need them to keep the oceans healthy. Unfortunately, due to overfishing, many shark species are in danger of extinction, and that can cause big problems in the oceans and even on land. What would happen if this continued and sharks disappeared completely? Artist Lily Williams explores how the disappearance would affect other animals across the whole planet in this clever book about the importance of keeping sharks, and our oceans, healthy.

The Cambridge Companion to Conducting
In this wide-ranging inside view of the history and practice of conducting, analysis and advice comes directly from working conductors, including Sir Charles Mackerras on opera, Bramwell Tovey on being an Artistic Director, Martyn Brabbins on modern music, Leon Botstein on programming and Vance George on choral conducting, and from those who work closely with conductors: a leading violinist describes working as a soloist with Stokowski, Ormandy and Barbirolli, while Solti and Abbado's studio producer explains orchestral recording, and one of the world's most powerful managers tells all. The book includes advice on how to conduct different types of groups (choral, opera, symphony, early music) and provides a substantial history of conducting as a study of national traditions. It is an unusually honest book about a secretive industry and managers, artistic directors, soloists, players and conductors openly discuss their different perspectives for the first time.
German Romanticism and Its Institutions
Using an illuminating method that challenges the popular notion of Romanticism as aesthetic escapism, Theodore Ziolkowski explores five institutions--mining, law, madhouses, universities, and museums--that provide the socio-historical context for German Romantic culture. He shows how German writers and thinkers helped to shape these five institutions, all of which assumed their modern form during the Romantic period, and how these social structures in turn contributed to major literary works through image, plot, character, and theme. "Ziolkowski cannot fail to impress the reader with a breadth of erudition that reveals fascinating intersections in the life and works of an artist.... He conve...
Die Distanz der Kunst und die Kälte der Formen
"Die kalte Sprache avisiert eine mögliche Form des Produktions- und Rezeptionsablaufs von Kunst, der die Autorität des Lesers (notwendigerweise) in Frage stellt. Dieser ist nämlich diskursiv reglementiert, was die Lektüre oft zu Ungunsten der "künstlerischen Werte" (Roman Ingarden) der Literatur beeinflusst. Die Kunstwerke betreiben innerhalb ihrer Rhetorik eine Emanzipation von dieser Einbettung. So hat sich ein Großteil der modernen Lyrik endgültig von der Transportierung von Themen und Botschaften verabschiedet und vermehrt den Prozess ihrer eigenen Entstehung oder poetologischen Sachverhalte - zum Teil in metaphorisch-verschlüsselter Form - zur Darstellung gebracht und somit zur Konstituierung einer Art Metalyrik beigetragen. Auch auf der Rezeptionsebene hat eine auf tropologische Merkmale eines Kunstwerks sich spezialisierende Betrachtung bestimmte Aspekte wie Gefühl, Erlebnis, Intention, Bedürfnisbefriedigung und Trost außer acht zu lassen"--P. [4] of cover.
