In Bodytalk, E. Jane Burns contends that female protagonists in medieval texts authored by men can be heard to talk back against the stereotyped and codified roles that their fictive anatomy is designed to convey.
Sarah is the youngest of the three Levine sisters. At twenty-five, she is rudderless, caught in a paralysis which keeps her from seizing her own life. When Sarah is fired from her Toronto job, a chance stay in Paris opens her up to new direction and purpose. But when she reads the writing on the wall above her local Métro subway station, “death to the Jews”, shadows from childhood rise again. And as her path crosses that of Laila, a young woman living in an exile remote from the luxuries of 1980s Paris, Sarah stumbles towards to an act of terrorism that may realize her childhood fears. In this new novel by the author of The Knife Sharpener’s Bell, writing that is both sensual and taut creates a tightly woven, compelling narrative.
This addition to the Cognitive Science and Second Language Acquisition series presents a comprehensive review of the latest research findings on sentence processing in second language acquisition. The book begins with a broad overview of the core issues of second language sentence processing research and then narrows its focus by dedicating individual chapters to each of these key areas. While a number of publications have discussed research findings on knowledge of formal syntactic principles as part of theories of second language acquisition, there are fewer resources dedicated to the role of second language sentence processing in this context. This volume will act as the first full-length literature review of the field on the market.

In the Solenine Cluster, things are going from bad to worse, as hyper-advanced technologies destabilise a world in chaos.

Medieval Sex Lives examines courtly song as a complex cultural product and social force in the early fourteenth century, exploring how it illuminates the relationship between artistic production and the everyday lives of the elites for whom this music and poetry was composed and performed. In a focused analysis of the Oxford Bodelian Library's Douce 308 manuscript—a fourteenth-century compilation that includes over five hundred Old French lyrics composed over two centuries alongside a narrative account of elaborate courtly festivities centered on a week-long tournament—Elizabeth Eva Leach explores two distinct but related lines of inquiry: first, why the lyric tradition of "courtly love"...

Texte (partiel) de la 4è de couverture : "Le Bébé face au couple propose une initiation au développement de la communication du bébé avec le couple de ses parents ainsi qu'à son contexte de coparentage, ou la manière dont les parents s'accordent ou non pour encadrer ce développement. Les auteures illustrent largement ce développement par des vignettes de la vie quotidienne et par des histoires familiales tirées d'une étude longitudinale allant de la grossesse à 5 ans. Les familles jouent ensemble dans le Jeu trilogique de Lausanne (LTP), un instrument d'évaluation des interactions familiales dès leur formation. L'ouvrage comprend trois sections, dont la première est consacrée au développement normal de la communication à trois entre Lucas et le couple de ses parents. La deuxième section explore la manière dont des bébés, comme Gabriella, Miles et Myriam, composent avec les difficultés des parents à les encadrer, lorsque ceux-ci les utilisent comme intermédiaires, ou vivent avec l'exclusion ou la compétition. La troisième section décrit différentes méthodes de prévention et de thérapie dérivées du modèle."
