»Wieso sollte ich etwas in einem helleren Licht betrachten, wenn ich mich dabei lediglich selbst blende?« Raeljo schüttelte heftig den Kopf und knurrte: »Sei einfach froh, Junge, wenn du noch glauben kannst, die Welt sei gerecht und habe ein Ziel für dich parat - aber dann behalt diesen Irrglauben um deiner Götter Willen für dich und versuche nicht, mich mit etwas zu belehren, von dem du selbst nichts verstehst.« Der Padischah von Denkara wurde vergiftet und in Zendura brodeln die Ränkespiele. Währenddessen bangt Raeljo um seine Zuflucht bei den Colanen. Nur eine Bürgschaft schützt ihn vor dem gefährlichen Misstrauen einiger Stammesmitglieder. Auch die Elfenbeinstatue und der Glaube an Dschahals Macht spaltet die Colanen. Soraya wird von ihrer Rückkehr enttäuscht und findet keinen Frieden. Als sie den Pfad der Rache beschreitet, trägt sie ein schwerwiegendes Geheimnis in sich. Nicht alle Freundschaften und Loyalitäten werden ihre Zerreißproben bestehen. Unter den Vorboten eines Krieges, der alles verändern könnte, bleckt die Wüste ihre Zähne. Und es ertönt ein Ruf, der selbst die Toten weckt - der erste Ruf des Feuerwesens.
“ARIANA GRANDE!” Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluş gayesinin esası, yakın bir gelecekte tüm milletleri “İnsanlık Rotası’nda” birleştirecek yapıyı kurabilmekti. Çünkü, Anadolu insanı, bu “yüksek bilince” ulaşabilecek genetik ve kozmik aktarımlarla donatılmıştır. Anadolu’nun, zor dönemlerde Seçilmiş Lider, yani Yaradan tarafından seçilmiş ve insiye edilmiş lider çıkarabilme potansiyelinin yüksek oluşu, tesadüfi olayların değil genetiğe ve bilince işlemiş “kültürel kodların” neticesiyle olmuştur. Asil Kan olarak seçilmiş, vazifeli olan kişiler icazete ihtiyaç duymadan kararlar alırlar. Ayrıca onlar, “devlet yönetme” irade...
Multiword expressions (MWEs) are a challenge for both the natural language applications and the linguistic theory because they often defy the application of the machinery developed for free combinations where the default is that the meaning of an utterance can be predicted from its structure. There is a rich body of primarily descriptive work on MWEs for many European languages but comparative work is little. The volume brings together MWE experts to explore the benefits of a multilingual perspective on MWEs. The ten contributions in this volume look at MWEs in Bulgarian, English, French, German, Maori, Modern Greek, Romanian, Serbian, and Spanish. They discuss prominent issues in MWE research such as classification of MWEs, their formal grammatical modeling, and the description of individual MWE types from the point of view of different theoretical frameworks, such as Dependency Grammar, Generative Grammar, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Lexicon Grammar.
The book examines to what extent the mediating relation between constituents and their semantics can arise from combinatory knowledge of words. It traces the roots of Combinatory Categorial Grammar, and uses the theory to promote a Humean question in linguistics and cognitive science: Why do we see limited constituency and dependency in natural languages, despite their diversity and potential infinity? A potential answer is that constituents and dependencies might have arisen from a single resource: adjacency. The combinatory formulation of adjacency constrains possible grammars.
Electric Vehicle Integration into Modern Power Networks provides coverage of the challenges and opportunities posed by the progressive integration of electric drive vehicles. Starting with a thorough overview of the current electric vehicle and battery state-of-the-art, this work describes dynamic software tools to assess the impacts resulting from the electric vehicles deployment on the steady state and dynamic operation of electricity grids, identifies strategies to mitigate them and the possibility to support simultaneously large-scale integration of renewable energy sources. New business models and control management architectures, as well as the communication infrastructure required to integrate electric vehicles as active demand are presented. Finally, regulatory issues of integrating electric vehicles into modern power systems are addressed. Inspired by two courses held under the EES-UETP umbrella in 2010 and 2011, this contributed volume consists of nine chapters written by leading researchers and professionals from the industry as well as academia.
The book presents authentic texts in two Yukaghir languages, Tundra and Kolyma Yukaghir, an isolate group of languages spoken by few small communities in Siberia. The major goal of the book is to make primary Yukaghir data accessible for readers who have no previous knowledge of these languages. Each text is provided with a detailed morph-to-morph translation following thecurrent linguistic standards, as well as with idiomatic English translation. In addition, the book contains Yukaghir-English vocabularies for both Yukaghir languages, with cross-references to all text occurrences of each word, a set of comprehensive morphemic and grammatical indices to text corpora, and abrief overview of basic ethnographic and grammatical facts. The principles of text representation are described in a user's guide. The book will serve as a useful source of data for scholars of the Yukaghir languages and cultures, as well as for anyone interested in cross-linguistic or cross-cultural studies.
Reading Clocks, Alla Turca explores the technological and social aspects of Ottoman temporal culture, where religious and secular powers competed and colluded for authority, the army tried to rationalize its systems of training and communication, and schoolboys complained about how long classes were. The conflicts that played out on the field of temporal systems were not along the axes one might expect, with secular, urban, rationalist, modernizing, and Europeanizing forces arrayed against rural, traditional, religious, and nationalist people and parties. Rather, religious institutions saw the rationalization of temporal culture as a way to extend their authority (the muezzin s call to praye...
In recent years, the concept of energy has been revised and a new model based on the principle of sustainability has become more and more pervasive. The appraisal of energy technologies and projects is complex and uncertain as the related decision making has to encompass environmental, technical, economic and social factors and information sources. The scientific procedure of assessment has a vital role as it can supply the right tools to evaluate the actual situation and make realistic forecasts of the effects and outcomes of any actions undertaken. Assessment and Simulation Tools for Sustainable Energy Systems offers reviews of the main assessment and simulation methods used for effective ...
