Titre : An Introduction to Applied Linguistics : From Practice to Theory Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alan Davies, Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 202 p. Format : 16X24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-3355-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This second edition of the foundational textbook An Introduction to Applied Linguistics provides a state-of-the-art account of contemporary applied linguistics. The kinds of language problems of interest to applied linguists are discussed and a distinction drawn between the different research approach taken by theoretical linguists and by applied linguists to what seem to be the same problems. Professor Davies describes a variety of projects which illustrate the interests of the field and highlight the marriage it offers between practical experience and theoretical understanding. The increasing emphasis of applied linguistics on ethicality is linked to the growth of professionalism and to the concern for accountability, manifested in the widening emphasis on critical stances. This, Davies argues, is at its most acute in the tension between giving advice as the outcome of research and taking political action in order to change a situation which, it is claimed, needs ameliorisation. This dilemma is not confined to applied linguistics and may now be endemic in the applied disciplines.The book has been updated throughout and provides an excellent introduction to the problems and issues that arise in the practice of applied linguistics. Key Features: *Surveys current issues in applied linguistics, including the concept of the Native Speaker and the development of World Englishes*Examines the influence of linguistics, cognitive science and philosophy on applied linguistics and makes a contrast with educational linguistics*Proposes that a key issue for the profession will increasingly be the tension between advice and action*Suggests that applied linguistics is a theorising rather than a theoretical discipline.Feedback on the first edition: 'Alan Davies' introductory text forcefully re-echoes the famous Edinburgh series in applied linguistics, which he contributed to in a major way.'Applied Linguistics'Every discipline comin En ligne : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/411iIfm4lCL._SX331_BO1,204,203, [...] An Introduction to Applied Linguistics : From Practice to Theory [texte imprimé] / Alan Davies, Auteur . - Edinburgh, 2007 . - 202 p. ; 16X24 cm.

Titre : An Introduction to Early Modern English Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nevalainen Terrtu, Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 176p. Format : 14 x 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-1524-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : An introduction to Early Modern English, this book helps students of English and linguistics to place the language of the period 1500-1700 in its historical context as a language with a common core but also as one which varies across time, regionally and socially, and according to register. The volume focuses on the structure of what contemporaries called the General Dialect - its spelling, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation - and on its dialectal origins. The book also discusses the language situation and linguistic anxieties in England at a time when Latin exerted a strong influence on the rising standard language.

Titre : Cognitive Linguistics : An Introduction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Evans Vyvyan, Auteur ; Green Melanie C., Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 830p. Format : 17x24cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-1832-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : An authoritative general introduction to cognitive linguistics, this book provides up-to-date coverage of all areas of the field and sets in context recent developments within cognitive semantics (including primary metaphors, conceptual blending and Principled Polysemy), and cognitive approaches to grammar (including Radical Construction Grammar and Embodied Construction Grammar). While all topics are introduced in terms accessible to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, this work is sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to serve as a reference work for scholars from linguistics and neighbouring disciplines who wish to gain a better understanding of cognitive linguistics. The book is divided into three parts (The cognitive linguistics enterprise; Cognitive semantics; and Cognitive approaches to grammar), and is therefore suitable for a range of different course types, both in terms of length and level, as well as in terms of focus. In addition to defining the field, the text also includes appropriate critical evaluation. Complementary and potentially competing approaches are explored both within the cognitive approach and beyond it. In particular, cognitive linguistics is compared and contrasted with formal approaches including Generative Grammar, formal approaches to semantics, and Relevance Theory. Features: *Exercises at the end of each chapter *Annotated reading list at the end of each chapter *Lively and accessible presentation *Full bibliography *Contains 200 diagrammatic illustrations En ligne : https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780748618323-it.jpg Cognitive Linguistics : An Introduction [texte imprimé] / Evans Vyvyan, Auteur ; Green Melanie C., Auteur . - Edinburgh, 2006 . - 830p. ; 17x24cm.

It is Marlow's map of the 'heart of darkness' drastically redrawn: what was once the 'vast amount of red,' a 'deuce of a lot of blue,' a 'little green,' those 'smears of orange,' and the 'purple patch,' is here become a dense kaleidoscope that will of necessity rechart the itinerary of students and critical travellers across and around 'continental Europe and its empires.' Barbara Harlow, University of Texas at Austin 'The /Companion/ is unique in that it provides a wealth of analysis and information about all European continental powers and their colonies and presents the entire assembly in a wonderful mis-en-scene. It is a 'true' companion that invites trans-cultural readings of trans-cultural literatures.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University The first reference work to the political, cultural and economic contexts of postcolonial literatures stemming from the empires of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain as well as Latin America and the Philippines Written by recognised scholars the entries cover major events, ideas, movements and figures in postcolonial histories. They cover European overseas exploration, settlement, colonisation and decolonisation and highlight the relevance of colonial histories to the cultural, social, political and literary formations of contemporary postcolonial societies and nations. Each entry provides a succinct account of an event or topic, as well as suggestions for further reading in literary works and histories. By outlining the historical contexts of postcolonial literatures, the Companion provides an important key to understanding complex contemporary debates about race, colonialism and neo-colonialism, politics, economics, culture and language. *Covers all the European empires in a new and integrated way *Relates the colonial past to the postcolonial present *Brings literary and historical texts and contexts together for the first time *Includes maps, a detailed Chronology, lists of further reading and author/subject indexes En ligne : https://www.ibs.it/images/9780748644827_0_536_0_75.jpg A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures - Continental Europe and its Empires [texte imprimé] / Prem Poddar, Auteur ; Rajeev Patke, Auteur . - Edinburgh, 2011 . - 634 p. ; 17x25 cm.

Titre : A History of Everyday Life in Scotland, 1800 to 1900 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Graeme Morton, Auteur ; Trevor Griffiths, Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 328p. Format : 16X24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-2170-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The nineteenth century was a period of profound change in Scottish history. Industrialisation, improved communications, agricultural transformation, country to town migration, upheavals in the church, increased trade, and imperialism -- all these affected the pace and rhythm of everyday life across the country. At the same time increased literacy helped to generate new patterns of identity, extending beyond the local to encompass the nation, which challenged certainties of how the world was viewed. With new styles of living came new dangers to the physical and moral health of the population, and increased apprehension of crime and disorder. Industrialisation created opportunities for consumption and recreation but with tangible environmental and economic costs. Rural Scotland adjusted to changes in farming practice and the traumas of population loss and began to look to the opportunities presented by recreation and tourism. The large-scale creation and survival of documentary evidence and records make the study of everyday life during this period practicable in depth for the first time. This volume presents a vivid account that includes the experiences of all the people of Scotland. It draws on every kind of available evidence and on work in social and cultural history, sociology and anthropology.
