Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French
This volume brings together two particularly dynamic areas of contemporary research on the French language. The chapters showcase the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The research across the volume is strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and more novel theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Although it is written in English, the work presented here is underpinned by a range of different approaches from across the Francophone and Anglophone worlds. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. In these ways, Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French highlights some of the most exciting new directions for linguistic research on the French language.
New Approaches to Multilingualism, Language Learning, and Teaching
This volume examines issues of bilingualism and multilingualism. The research reported addresses second (L2), third (L3) and heritage language acquisition, including multiliteracy and home language development. It also touches on issues relating to language teaching methodology, education, and language policy. Through the lens of critical analysis, the authors seek to investigate new approaches to bi/multilingualism, language learning and teaching, theoretical models, research methodology, and application of language acquisition theories in teaching. The contributions provide frameworks for understanding multilingualism based on diverse topics and analyses. These chapters cover key concepts,...
Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines
This volume offers a cross-disciplinary insight into language contact research, bringing together fresh empirical and theoretical studies from various fields concerning different dimensions of language contact and variation, second language acquisition and translation. In the present-day world of globalization, population mobility and information technology, the themes of multilingualism and contact-induced language change are as topical as ever, and research on language contacts and cross-linguistic influence has expanded rapidly during the last few decades. Along with the increasing specialization of related disciplines, their research perspectives, methods and terminology have become disp...
Inkjet Printing in Industry
This handbook provides an indispensable overview of all essential aspects of industrial-scale inkjet printing. Inkjet printing, as a scalable deposition technique, has grown in popularity due to its being additive, digital, and contact-free. Given these advantages, the technology can now be used in stable and mature industrial-scale applications. As the mechanisms for inkjet printing have improved, so too have the versatility and applicability of this machinery within industry. The handbook's coverage includes inks, printhead technology, substrates, metrology, software, as well as machine integration and pre- and post-processing approaches. This information is complemented by an overview of ...
Similar Languages, Varieties, and Dialects
Studying language variation requires comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge and new computational tools. This essential reference introduces researchers and graduate students in computer science, linguistics, and NLP to the core topics in language variation and the computational methods applied to similar languages, varieties, and dialects.
Intra- and Interlingual Translation in Flux
This book extends new lines of inquiry on intra- and interlingual translation, building on Jakobson’s classification of translational relations to take into account the full complexity of language and the role of social dimensions in fostering linguistic unity and identity. Jovanović argues that intra- and interlingual translation do not form a stable relationship but, in fact, are both contingent on how languages and their borders are defined. Chapters unpack the causes and effects of this instability through the lens of Serbo- Croatian literature, where the impact of sociopolitical pressure on language over time can be keenly observed. Drawing on work from translation studies, socioling...
The Linguistics of the History of English
This textbook approaches the history of English from a theoretical perspective. The book provides a brief chronological overview describing the way in which the English language has changed over time from Old English to Modern English, while subsequent parts adopt a theoretical focus that is thematically organised to deal with the question of how and why English changed in the way it did, including a part addressing some specific contact-induced changes and key topics such as English as a Lingua Franca. Supported throughout with information boxes with empirical studies, the examples given are all drawn from English, but boxes with examples from other languages tie the development of the English language into changes in other contexts and settings. This book is an ideal resource for undergraduate students of the English Language and historical linguistics.
Das Geheimnis des Schönen
Die Muse der Kunst will zusammen mit einem Psychologieprofessoren wissenschaftlich erläutern, warum die Fähigkeit, etwas schön zu finden, so wichtig ist. Wie funktioniert das, was die Psychologen "Schönheitsempfinden" nennen? Auf der Suche nach Antworten durchforsten die beiden nicht nur ihre eigenen Disziplinen, sondern auch die angrenzenden Reviere von Philosophie, Neurophysiologie, Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften, Anthropologie, Mentalitätsgeschichte, Kunst und Kunstgeschichte, und siehe da: Überall stoßen sie auf das gleiche Muster, egal, ob bei amerikanischen Konzertbesuchern oder sibirischen Schamanen. Dieses Muster erklärt nicht nur die wesentlichen Erlebnisphänomene und Schlagwörter der Kunst, sondern auch die Grundbegriffe sprichwörtlicher Menschlichkeit, wie etwa das "menschliche Herz" oder die "Seele". Da dieses Muster ebenso in der Informatik kursiert, lässt sich all das auch als Bauanleitung für Künstliche Intelligenz formulieren: Denn Schönheitsempfinden ist der Schlüssel zum Bewusstsein. Mit einem Vorwort von Dietrich Dörner

Comparison, Understanding, and Teacher Education in International Perspective
Comparison, Understanding and Teacher Education in International Perspective presents an analysis of some methodological issues in educational research. Based on the comparisons of various understandings of human rationality in eastern and western philosophical traditions, this book attempts to discuss time, value, causal explanation, meaning, comparison and nature of knowledge in educational research. With reference to the discussed methodological reflections, a comparison of teacher education in Germany, the United States, Britain and Taiwan, R.O.C. is presented against their respective cultural backgrounds.
