Book Description
“Lenguaje” debe ser entendido esencialmente en el sentido de lengua natural: en consecuencia es necesario Instalarse en el terreno de lo verbal. “Ciencia”, a su vez, indica que no se trata sólo de lingüística, sino también de conceptos fundadores (como el de signo) y, simétricamente, de las producciones de la lengua, lo que explica el lugar acordado a la poética. El libro no está organizado según una lista de palabras, sino mediante una división conceptual del campo estudiado. Desde esta perspectiva fueron incorporados cincuenta y siete articu1os, cada uno de los cuales dedicado a un tema claramente delimitado, constituye un todo y puede ser objeto de una lectura autónoma. En el Interior de dichos artículos se ofrecen alrededor de ochocientas definiciones fácilmente ubicables gracias al índice final y al índice de autores. A su vez está dividido en cuatro grandes secciones: las escuelas, desde el siglo XVII hasta Chomsky; los dominios, incluyendo la psico y sociolingüística; los conceptos metodológicos, desde el más fundamental -el signo- hasta el más derivado: el de los géneros literarios; los conceptos descriptivos, desde el más simple -las unidades no significativas- hasta los más complejos acerca del lenguaje y la acción. Este diccionario enciclopédico ofrece la posibilidad de una doble lectura: una lectura continua y una búsqueda alfabética. Constituye una exposición Irreemplazable y un excelente Instrumento de trabajo.

Book Description
Comics and human mobility have a long history of connections. This volume explores these entanglements with a focus on both how comics represent migration and what applied uses comics have in relation to migration. The volume examines both individual works of comic art and examples of practical applications of comics from across the world. Comics are well-suited to create understanding, highlight truthful information, and engender empathy in their audiences, but are also an art form that is preconditioned or even limited by its representational and practical conventions. Through analyses of various practices and representations, this book questions the uncritical belief in the capacity of comics, assesses their potential to represent stories of exile and immigration with compassion, and discusses how xenophobia and nationalism are both reinforced and questioned in comics. The book includes essays by both researchers and practitioners such as activists and journalists whose work has combined a focus on comics and migration. It predominantly scrutinises comics and activities from more peripheral areas such as the Nordic region, the German-language countries, Latin America, and southern Asia to analyse the treatment and visual representation of migration in these regions. This topical and engaging volume in the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series will be of interest to researchers and students of comics studies, literary studies, visual art studies, cultural studies, migration, and sociology. It will also be useful reading for a wider academic audience interested in discourses around global migration and comics traditions.

Book Description
El presente libro es un homenaje a la figura y a la vida académica de Enrique Alcaraz Varó y, muy especialmente, a su dedicación durante más de treinta años como docente e investigador de la Universidad de Alicante. Fue catedrático de Filología Inglesa y publicó innumerables trabajos de gran impacto, impartiendo sus enseñanzas por todo el mundo. El volumen está organizado en cuatro grandes bloques en los que puede sistematizarse el análisis y la investigación del profesor Alcaraz: la enseñanza y adquisición de lenguas; la literatura, cultura y crítica; la lingüística; y la traducción e interpretación. Toda su obra gira en torno a los valores más amplios de la lengua y sus relaciones con la sociedad, es decir, se centra en la interdisciplinariedad entre la lengua y cualquier hecho o fenómeno de la vida.

Author: Katya Mandoki Publisher: Routledge ISBN: 131713849X Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 344
Book Description
Katya Mandoki advances in this book the thesis that it is not only possible but crucial to open up the field of aesthetics (traditionally confined to the study of art and beauty) toward the richness and complexity of everyday life. She argues that in every process of communication, whether face to face or through the media, fashion, and political propaganda, there is always an excess beyond the informative and functional value of a message. This excess is the aesthetic. Following Huizinga's view of play as an ingredient of any social environment, Mandoki explores how various cultural practices are in fact forms of playing since, for the author, aesthetics and play are Siamese twins. One of the unique contributions of this book is the elaboration and application of a semiotic model for the simultaneous analysis of social interactions in the four registers, namely visual, auditory, verbal and body language, to detect the aesthetic strategies deployed in specific situations. She argues that since the presentation of the self is targeted towards participants' sensibilities, aesthetics plays a key role in these modes of exchange. Consequently, the author updates important debates in this field to clear the way for a socio-aesthetic inquiry through contexts such as the family, school, medical, artistic or religious traditions from which social identities emerge.

Book Description
Young researchers, natural advocates of change, often delve freely into language processes, their causes, mechanisms and interrelations with social changes. However, any change is based on tradition and cannot exist without it, whether we speak of traditions in terminology, approach, data or method. This volume brings together young scholars from Russia, Poland, Spain, Pakistan, Thailand and Ukraine, and is based on papers presented at the Second International Young Scholars Conference, titled “Lexicon, Discourse and Speaker Studies”, held in Ulyanovsk, Russia, in 2014. It showcases current research into linguistic tradition and change in a variety of contexts across the globe, and is divided into four sections, each of which embraces one specific sphere of language studies. About half of the papers included in the volume are written by Russian authors, and in this respect the volume represents a concise collage of linguistic research in the country, shedding light on some major trends of research and demonstrating explicitly that Russian linguistics is not developing in isolation from other cultural contexts. This book will be of particular interest to researchers, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates working in the fields of discourse analysis, linguistics, and language acquisition.
