Speech Acts and Clause Types : English in a Cross-Linguistic Context / Peter Siemund

Public ISBD Titre : Speech Acts and Clause Types : English in a Cross-Linguistic Context Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Siemund, Auteur Editeur : United kingdom : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 429 P Format : 24.5 x17 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-871814-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 418 Résumé : This book is an introduction to the relationship between the morphosyntactic properties of sentences and their associated illocutionary forces or force potentials. The volume begins with several chapters dedicated to important theoretical and methodological issues, such as sentence and utterance meaning, illocutionary force, clause types, and cross-linguistic comparison. The bulk of the book is then composed of chapter-length case studies that systematically investigate typologically prominent clause types and their forces, such as declaratives and assertions, interrogatives and questions, and imperatives and commands. These case studies begin with an overview of the necessary theoretical foundations, followed by a discussion of the grammatical structures of English, and an assessment of the relevant cross-linguistic facts. Each chapter ends with a succinct summary of the most important findings, practice exercises, and recommendations for further reading and research. Overall, the book works towards developing a gradient model of clause types that goes substantially beyond the traditional distinction between major and minor clause types. It draws on insights from linguistics, philosophy, and sociology, and may be used as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate courses in semantics, pragmatics, and morphosyntax.

Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century / Maryanne Wolf

Public ISBD Titre : Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maryanne Wolf, Auteur Editeur : United kingdom : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 200 p Format : 19.5x13 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-872417-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 809 Histoire, analyse, critique littéraires générales (et portant sur plus d'une littérature nationale) Résumé : Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century wrestles with critical, timely questions for 21st-century society. How does literacy change the human brain? What does it mean to be a literate or a non-literate person in the present digital culture: for example, what will be lost in the present reading brain, and what will be gained with different mediums than print? What are the consequences of a digital reading brain for the literary mind and for writing itself? Can knowledge about the reading brain and advances in technology offer new forms of literacy and new forms of knowledge to the peoples in remote regions of the world who would never otherwise become literate? By using both research from cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, child development, and education, and considering literary examples from world literature, Maryanne Wolf plots a course that seeks to preserve the deepest forms of reading from the past, while developing the cognitive skills necessary for this century's next generation.
