The Discovery of Language
Author: Holger Pedersen
Publisher: Bloomington : Indiana University Press
ISBN:
Category : Comparative linguistics
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
The study of language is the study of civilization-- to discover man's cultural antecedents and to understand the meaning of his intellectual heritage we must look to the origins of human language buried in the mists of historical antiquity. The present work has long been a celebrated classic in the field of linguistics: it reveals not only the genesis of man's great languages and their interrelation, but tells as well of the development of linguistic science itself, of the discoveries of its pioneers and great masters, particularly during the last century. In addition, a concise summary of the methods employed in linguistics is provided -- Provided by publisher.

Ordering the World
Author: Robert Hymes
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520414942
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
The Sung Dynasty (960–1278) was a time of vast changes and new challenges in China. The growth of the urban and rural economics, population increase, the emergence of an educated elite, political and intellectual ferment, and threats from hostile neighbors are some of the forces that shaped the age. How did Sung statesmen and thinkers view the relation of state and society and the role of political action in solving society’s ills? The essays in Ordering the World explore contemporary ideas underlying policies, programs, and institutions of the period and examine attitudes toward history and sources of authority. Their findings have important implications for our understanding of the neo-Confucian movement in Sung history and of the Sung in the history of Chinese ideas about politics and social action. Contents: Introduction by Conrad Schirokauer and Robert P. Hymes “Su Hsun’s Pragmatic Statecraft,” by George Hatch “State Power and Economic Activism during the New Policies, 1068–1085,” by Paul J. Smith “Government, Society, and State,” by Peter K. Bol “Chu Hsi’s Sense of History,” by Conrad Schirokauer “Community and Welfare,” by Richard von Glahn “Charitable Estates as an Aspect of Statecraft in Southern Sung China,” by Linda Walton “Moral Duty and Self-Regulating Process in Southern Sung Views of Famine Relief,” by Robert P. Hymes “The Historian as Critic,” by John W. Chaffee “Wei Liao-weng’s Thwarted Statecraft,” by James T. C. Liu “Chen Te-hsiu and Statecraft,” by Wm. Theodore de Bary This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
