The Perception of the Unborn Across the Cultures of the World
In this remarkable book, Dr von Raffler-Engel combines a deep understanding of the development of communication in the very young, with a wide knowledge of the traditions and beliefs in a great diversity of cultures. This combination of expertise has enabled her to write a unique and unforgettable book about the active life and capabilities of the child before it is born, as well as the implications of our now broader understanding of these realities. Her belief that the fetus is a human being, albeit a not fully developed one, is explained on the basis of scientifically conducted research, which she explains here in an easy-going style that will be equally understandable to both professionals and lay people. Her survey of the attitudes and beliefs about the unborn child around the world provides both parents-to-be and professionals with an astonishing - and sometimes entertaining - look at the ideas and practices of other cultures. It also enables her to present specific and convincing advice, based on beliefs and experience from all over the world, about the optimal prenatal care that will help ensure a baby's physical and mental health.
Doctor-patient Interaction
This volume covers many of the ways of speaking that create problems between doctor and patient. The questions under consideration in the present book are the following: How is the doctor-patient interaction structured in a particular culture? What takes place during the process? What causes misunderstandings, lack of cooperation and even total non-compliance? What is the outcome of the interaction and how does the patient benefit from it? Finally, and this is the ultimate purpose of this book: How can the interaction be improved so that an optimum outcome is assured for the patient with maximum satisfaction to the physician?
Studies in Language Origins
The question of language origin has fascinated people for years. The contributions in the present book stem primarely from the papers presented at the Third International Meeting of the Language Origins Society (LOS) held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, June 1988. The contributors approach the problem not only from the viewpoint of linguistics, but also from that of anatomy, physiology, social sciences, physical anthropology, paleoanthropology, paleontology, comparative zoology, general biology, ethology, evolutionary biology and psychology.
The Prague School and Its Legacy
Many of the fundamental ideas of the classical Prague School have guided or inspired much of the interdisciplinary post World War II research in linguistics, literary theory, semiotics, folklore and the arts. The Prague School promoted a humanistic and functional Leitmotiv of language as an open, flexible, adaptable, and abstract system of systems used by human beings to communicate. This hommage to the Prague School presents papers in five areas of research:- Prague School phonology and its theoretical and methodological implications, The Prague School and functional discourse analysis, The Prague School and aspects of literary criticism, The sociological and ethnographical concerns of the Prague School, The Prague School's semiotic approach to the arts.
