New Perspectives in Celtic Studies
This volume provides accounts of well-established themes of general Celtic inquiry from new theoretical perspectives, in addition to addressing new areas of research that have remained largely unexplored.

The linguistic section of the book includes chapters dealing with Welsh phonology and possible areas of influence of the Brittonic language on English, as well as with the issues of translating culture-specific aspects of medieval Welsh texts and the problems of standardising Irish o...
Form, Meaning and Function in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics
The book is a collection of 10 papers on theoretical and applied linguistics, and is divided into two sections. Part I, devoted to Theoretical Linguistics, addresses a range of issues pertaining to phonology, morphophonology, morphology, cognitive semantics, syntax and lexicology, and consists of six chapters.

Płynność i egzystencja.
Płynność i stałość, człowiek i przedmiot, egzystencja i doświadczenie, filozofia i literatura – oto kluczowe pojęcia niniejszych rozważań. Praca ta, w najogólniejszym wymiarze, stawia sobie za cel przedstawienie Hermana Melville’a i jego dzieł w nieco innej optyce, niż czyniły to tradycyjne ujęcia krytycznoliterackie: staram się bowiem pokazać tę interesująca postać nie tyle jako romantycznego pisarza zafascynowanego oceanem, ile dziewiętnastowiecznego myśliciela, który stworzył szczególną, napisaną językiem romantycznej literatury, filozofię egzystencji i nie tylko jako twórcy literackiej fikcji, lecz jako osadzonego w klimacie swojej epoki filozofa, dążącego do odkrycia i przekazania innym prawdy o świecie i człowieku.

Teaching the Pronunciation of English as a Lingua Franca
English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) is one manifestation of the changing role of English in the world today. This book and audio links explore how ELF may be relevant to teaching your students pronunciation. It draws on the Lingua Franca core, a set of pronunciation features that research has found to be essential to intelligibility in ELF communications, and explores how adopting an ELF approach can benefit students. It covers techniques and materials for teaching ELF pronunciation, including planning and assessment and the influence of learners' first language pronunciation. The audio links feature dialogues between ELF speakers from fifteen different first language backgrounds.
