Studienbuch Linguistik : Erganzt Um Ein Kapitel "Phonetik/Phonologie" Von Urs Willi (3484311215)

Das Studienbuch Linguistik orientiert in 11 Kapiteln umfassend über die zentralen Teilgebiete der Sprachwissenschaft: Semiotik, Phonetik/Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntax, Semantik, Pragmatik, Textlinguistik und Gesprächsanalyse, Sozio-, Psycho- und Historiolinguistik. Jedes Kapitel wird eingeleitet durch eine knappe, kommentierte Auswahlbibliographie sowie durch eine Skizze der Forschungsgeschichte. Das Ziel jedes Kapitels ist es, die für den jeweiligen Gegenstandsbereich konstitutiven Fragen deutlich zu machen und modellartig zu zeigen, wie ausgewählte Theorien auf diese Fragen antworten. Entsprechend ist die Darstellung nicht einer bestimmten Schule verpflichtet, vielmehr kommt die Vielfalt der linguistischen Zugänge zum Ausdruck. Dieses Vorgehen zeichnet auch die in der vorliegenden 5. Auflage vorgenommenen Ergänzungen aus.Alle 11 Kapitel wurden um einen substantiellen Zusatz erweitert, in welchem die wichtigsten theoretischen und methodischen Neuerungen der letzten Jahre vorgeste...

Notizen zum figürlichen Zeichnen (3874396339)

Kennen Sie diesen bewundernd-neidischen Blick, wenn jemand mit Leichtigkeit und Verve mit ein paar gekonnten Strichen eine skizzenhafte, aber aussagekräftige Zeichnung hinwirft? »Wenn ich doch nur zeichnen könnte ...« geht es einem dann durch den Kopf, aber der Weg dahin scheint steinig und schwer, man kann ja nicht alles können, und schon sprudelt es Ausreden? Aber bei langen Telefongesprächen und während langweiliger Reden aber ertappen Sie sich dabei, dass Sie Schraffuren, Kringel und Ähnliches kritzeln? Genau da setzt Peter Jenny an. Sie können nämlich zeichnen, Sie wissen es nur vielleicht noch nicht! Generationen von ETH-Studenten kennen und schätzen die kleinen Jenny-Bändchen, und seit etlichen Jahren bauen auch jenseits der Schweizer Grenze Kreative mit den einfachen Jenny-Übungen ihr Zeichentalent auf und aus, trauen sich, werden besser, fordern weitere Bändchen und empfehlen Jenny Freunden, Kollegen und denen mit dem bewundernd-neidischen Blick... »Notizen zum figürlichen Ze...

A World Lit Only by Fire : The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age (9781454908944)

This beautifully illustrated new color edition of the classic New York Times bestseller brings readers more intimately into the medieval world than ever before. From tales of chivalry and valor to the barbarity of the Inquisition and the devastation of the plague, no era has been a greater source of fascination and horror than the Middle Ages. With extraordinarily crafted prose, acclaimed historian William Manchester takes us on a vividly painted journey into the medieval mind. We travel from the depths of the Dark Ages to the heights of the rebirth that spawned some of historys greatest artists and thinkers--and that eventually ushered the West into the brilliance of the Renaissance. For Manchester, the man who best epitomized this new quest for knowledge in a changing world was Ferdinand Magellan, the great circumnavigator, whose inspiring story Manchester dramatically recounts, along with the stories of countless medieval men and women from every walk of life who influenced and chan...

The Ruin of Kasch (9780141397016)

A sparkling new translation of the classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and art The Ruin of Kasch takes up two subjects: "the first is Talleyrand, and the second is everything else," wrote Italo Calvino when the book first appeared in 1983. Hailed as one of those rare books that persuade us to see our entire civilization in a new light, its guide is the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who knew the secrets of the ancien regime and all that came after, and was able to adapt the notion of "legitimacy" to the modern age. Roberto Calasso follows him through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, making occasional forays backward and forward in time, from Vedic India to the porticoes of the Palais-Royal and to the killing fields of Pol Pot, with appearances by Goethe and Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Marx, Walter Benjamin and Chateaubriand. At the centre stands the story of the ruin of...
