Diuen els investigadors que cada cop s’utilitza més el terme identitat, fet que s’explica per la necessitat d’observar i comprendre fenòmens reals -vells i nous- que s’estan donant entre els individus i que resten encara poc entesos i explicats. Un fet que no deu anar deslligat del contacte cultural entre els distints grups humans que tenen lloc amb els canvis socials experimentats en una societat cada cop més heterogènia...... En aquest marc, el Centre Universitari de Sociolingüística i Comunicació (CUSC) va acollir entre finals del 2005 i principis del 2006 la celebració del cicle de conferències "Llengua i identitat": conferències que, en la seva majoria, es recullen aquí i donen compte de la situació sociolingüística a territoris de parla catalana i a territoris d’altres llengües de l’estat espanyol i de l’estat francès i italià. .El lector hi trobarà un bon conjunt d’idees a càrrec d’autors de primera línia que certament el faran pensar i rumiar sobre les intricades i diverses relacions entre els fenòmens identitaris i els fenòmens lingüístics.
These essays reflect the lively debate about the sectarian movement of the Scrolls. They debate the degree to which the movement was separated from the rest of Judaism, and whether there was one or several watershed moments in the separation. Notable contributions include a cluster of essays on the Teacher of Righteousness and a thorough survey of the archaeology of Qumran. The texts are problematic in historical research because they rely on biblical stereotypes. Nonetheless, possible interpretations can be compared and degrees of probability debated. The debate is significant not only for the sect but for the nature of ancient Judaism.
This book is about dynamical, social-interactional aspects of the emergence of complexity in language, explained by linguists, cognitivists, and modelers.
This book offers insights on the study of natural language as a complex adaptive system. It discusses a new way to tackle the problem of language modeling, and provides clues on how the close relation between natural language and some biological structures can be very fruitful for science. The book examines the theoretical framework and then applies its main principles to various areas of linguistics. It discusses applications in language contact, language change, diachronic linguistics, and the potential enhancement of classical approaches to historical linguistics by means of new methodologies used in physics, biology, and agent systems theory. It shows how studying language evolution and change using computational simulations enables to integrate social structures in the evolution of language, and how this can give rise to a new way to approach sociolinguistics. Finally, it explores applications for discourse analysis, semantics and cognition.
Unifying Themes in Complex Systems is a well-established series of carefully edited conference proceedings that serve to document and archive the progress made regarding cross-fertilization in this field. The International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS) creates a unique atmosphere for scientists from all fields, engineers, physicians, executives, and a host of other professionals, allowing them to explore common themes and applications of complex systems science. With this new volume, Unifying Themes in Complex Systems continues to establish common ground between the wide-ranging domains of complex systems science.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.

The “language-communication-society” triangle defies traditional scientific approaches. Rather, it is a phenomenon that calls for an integration of complex, transdisciplinary perspectives, if we are to make any progress in understanding how it works. The highly diverse agents in play are not merely cognitive and/or cultural, but also emotional and behavioural in their specificity. Indeed, the effort may require building a theoretical and methodological body of knowledge that can effectively convey the characteristic properties of phenomena in human terms. New complexity approaches allow us to rethink our limited and mechanistic images of human societies and create more appropriate emo-co...
La ‘Scripta’ mallorquina, a cura de Joan Veny i Àngels Massip, és una selecció de textos que van del segle XIV al segle XXI i que ofereixen una àmplia perspectiva de la llengua escrita a Mallorca —i a través de l’escrit, de l’oralitat de cada època. Presenta temàtiques i gèneres tan diversos com poden ser les rondalles, els inventaris, els testaments, els sermons, la lexicografia o el teatre popular. El valor d’aquesta obra resideix precisament en la gran quantitat de textos recollits, un total de tres-cents quaranta-set, que van acompanyats d’una anàlisi exhaustiva i precisa de les característiques gràfiques (a través de les quals es reflecteixen les fonètiques), ...
