'Eric was a human lexicographer, like Samuel Johnson. He was a philologist rather than a linguist. He knew what Chomsky was doing and what had happened to phonology in Prague, but he eschewed the strict scientific approach. Linguistics is scared of semantics and prefers to concentrate on structures, leaving the study of the meaning of words to anthropologists - or, perhaps with misgivings, to Johnsonian word-lovers like Eric Partridge.' - Anthony Burgess

A textbook designed to guide students through the difficult early stages of learning Arabic. It shows the beginner how to recognize and deal with current problems of syntax and sight-reading, often making use of simple, 'unscientific' short-cuts where they serve an immediate, practical purpose.

Subjetividad significa, desde el primer momento, intersubjetividad. En esta obra partimos de esta premisa central de la Fenomenologia filosofica e intentamos demostrar que la intersubjetividad constituye el elemento fundamental que origina y caracteriza las condiciones trascendentales bajo las que el sujeto actua en una situacion normal de comunicacion, es decir, bajo las que el sujeto actua como hablante. Desde este punto de vista, las actividades de conceptuacion y codificacion gramatical que realiza el sujeto durante un evento comunicativo llevan siempre en cuenta la presencia y la perspectiva del otro. Esto es, no se dirigen tan solo al otro, sino que parten tambien de la presencia y la perspectiva del otro como elementos fundamentales de su genesis. De ello se desprende, como consecuencia teorica de importancia cardinal, que toda construccion gramatical codifica una determinada configuracion de intersubjetividad.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of pedagogical grammar research and explores its implications for the teaching of grammar in second language classrooms. Drawing on several research domains (e.g., corpus linguistics, task-based language teaching) and a number of theoretical orientations (e.g., cognitive, sociocultural), the book proposes a framework for pedagogical grammar which brings together three major areas of inquiry: (1) descriptions of grammar in use, (2) descriptions of grammar acquisition processes, and (3) investigations of the relative effectiveness of different approaches to L2 grammar instruction. The book balances research and theory with practical discussions of the decisions that teachers must make on a daily basis, offering guidance in such areas as materials development, data-driven learning, task design, and classroom assessment.

OEffentlichkeit gilt als inhomogener Entfaltungsraum gesamtgesellschaftlicher Kommunikation, in welchem das Emotionspotenzial von Texten eine dominierende Rolle einnehmen kann. Die Buchbeitrage verdeutlichen, dass thematisch-semantische Kampfe heute starker auf dem Feld des Emotionspotenzials ausgetragen werden, dass das Emotionspotenzial gegenwartig medienstrategisch wirksam eingesetzt wird, um Rezipienten in ihren Wertvorstellungen zu beeinflussen, dass sich Textsorten aufgrund eines veranderten Verhaltnisses von Privatem und OEffentlichem aktuellen Sprachgebrauchsbedingungen anpassen und dass sich neue oder modifizierte Kommunikationsraume auf das Verhaltnis von Sprache der Nahe und Sprache der Distanz auswirken. Die Autorinnen/Autoren fokussieren entweder Elemente des Emotionspotenzials oder die textuell-ganzheitliche Emotionskodierung innerhalb von Sprachgebrauchsdomanen, Textsorten und Diskursen.

Die Autorin stellt sich die Aufgabe, UEbersetzern eine neuartige und wirksame Hilfe bei der Translation von Phraseologismen zu bieten. Sie konzentriert sich auf die drei Bedeutungsbereiche bzw. Konzepte Angst, Verwunderung und Wut. Dazu untersucht sie deutsche und polnische Somatismen, die "Koerpermetonymien, Metaphern und konventionelle Mimik und Gestik" aufweisen. Als Ausgangspunkt fur ihre UEberlegungen und Strategien setzt sie sich mit traditionellen Woerterbuchern und der jeweiligen Darstellung von Phraseologismen auseinander. Diese kritische Sicht hilft ihr, einen neuen Ansatzpunkt zu finden. Er besteht in der Konzeption einer "onomasiologischen Vorgehensweise in zweisprachigen Werken der Zukunft". (Aus dem Gutachten von Professor Wolfgang Schramm von der Universitat Warschau)
