Ob im Internet, in der Freizeit oder im Beruf: Immer mehr Menschen verbringen ihre Zeit mit der Suche nach sowie der Rezeption und Verarbeitung von symbolisch reprasentiertem Wissen. Insofern ist die Kommunikation von Information und Wissen zur bestimmenden Erfahrung und zur zentralen Aufgabe in heutigen Berufen und damit in modernen Wissensgesellschaften geworden. Sie ist Voraussetzung und Resultat einer fortschreitenden Arbeitsteilung und Spezialisierung in Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Der Sammelband geht zwei Fragen nach: Wie kommunizieren wir Wissen - und zwar unter besonderer Berucksichtigung der sprachlichen und kommunikativen Randbedingungen des Wissenstransfers? Und: Welche Konsequenz hat Wissenskommunikation fur die Gesellschaft?

Help adolescents learn and use the academic words that will assist them in school and beyond. The author argues that "words worth using" must matter to adolescents' authentic work in the disciplines and connect to their lived experiences. Rather than using a model of vocabulary instruction that positions students as passive recipients who must simply memorize definitions, Townsend outlines a metalinguistic approach that shows students how to learn words by using them in ways that are meaningful to their identity, language background, and individual interests. The book provides research-based instructional routines to support adolescents as they learn and use new words in their disciplinary learning. It explores how academic vocabulary can position students as "insiders" or "outsiders," and how culturally sustaining instruction can welcome all students into discovering and using language. Words Worth Using will be a popular resource for teachers who feel stymied by the sheer volume of words they are expected to teach.Book Features: An engaging exploration of adolescents and the kinds of powerful word learning that endure. Metalinguistic awareness as an underleveraged approach to helping adolescents develop word knowledge in engaging ways. A culturally sustaining pedagogy framework with specific attention to emergent bilinguals. "Words Worth Using" boxes that share the etymology and morphology of many important words throughout the text. A careful review and explanation of research accompanied by classroom anecdotes, real-world examples, and templates for teachers and instructional leaders to use in their own contexts.

The Deonomasticon Italicum provides a systematic historical treatment of, and commentary on, the lexemes of Italian derived from proper names. It covers both derivations from geographical names (including those from ethnic roots, which are of especial interest both for the history of vocabulary and for cultural history) and from the names of persons. The first part of the Dictionary (4 volumes) is devoted to derivations from geographical names, the second (2 volumes) to the names of persons. The Deonomasticon Italicum will be published in complete volumes and no longer in the form of single fascicles. Key features: Desiderat in der Lexikographie des Italienischen Insgesamt 6 B nde (1 Band alle 3 Jahre) Breite Quellengrundlage auch zeitgen ssischer Texte Indices und regelm ig aktualisierte Bibliographie online (http: //romanistik.phil.uni-sb.de/schweickard/images/suppbibdi/supplementobibliografico.pdf)

Actualmente las investigaciones fraseologicas brindan la posibilidad de abrir nuevas vias de estudio. Una de las vias mas complejas pero a la vez mas novedosas es la que supone acercarse al estudio de los fraseologismos y demas unidades fijas (paremias, comparaciones proverbiales, sentencias) desde un prisma culturologico. Este nuevo enfoque nos permite acercarnos simultaneamente a estas unidades desde una doble perspectiva: la linguistica y la cultural. Gracias a este doble acercamiento se consigue alcanzar un estudio mas exhaustivo y completo de los fraseologismos. Este volumen se concibe como la continuacion logica de una obra anterior, Fundamentos teoricos de los Diccionarios Linguistico-Culturales (Luque Nadal, 2010) y presenta un estudio pormenorizado de los fenomenos de creacion de fraseologismos y el estudio de los dominios fuente y dominios meta, asi como de los problemas de traduccion que plantean dichas unidades.

Despues de veinticinco anos de ingente investigacion sobre marcadores discursivos, ?que logros se han conseguido? ?Que queda todavia por resolver? Este libro presenta en la primera parte una reflexion sobre cuestiones teoricas, defiende una postura conciliadora basada en una aproximacion polifuncional, y trata de ubicar el estudio de los marcadores en una concepcion general del lenguaje. Asimismo, ofrece directrices para la elaboracion de los articulos lexicograficos, y propone un modelo de microestructura. En la segunda parte, se ocupa del analisis sincronico de las funciones y rasgos caracteristicos de cuatro marcadores discursivos que corresponden a las macrofunciones, a saber: eso si (funcion argumentativa), en este sentido (funcion metadiscursiva), en efecto (funcion modalizadora) y ?verdad? (funcion interactiva). De este modo, trata de ilustrar el planteamiento teorico mediante el analisis particular de marcadores discursivos cuya sintesis se muestra en la posterior aplicacion lexicografica.

Der Band vereinigt die Beitrage eines Reihen-Seminars zum Thema "Pradikative Strukturen in Theorie und Text(en)", das von der Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg, der Jagellonen-Universitat Krakow und der Universitat Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 getragen wurde. Die Autoren untersuchen die Begrifflichkeit, wie sie in verschiedenen Beschreibungsansatzen in der deutschen Grammatik zur Anwendung kommt. Daneben werden Problematiken zuganglich gemacht, mit denen sich die nationalen (germanistischen) Grammatiken auseinandersetzen. Die Grenzen eines engen Pradikatsbegriffs werden uberschritten, wenn pradikative Relationen auf verschiedenen Ebenen angesetzt werden. Den textuellen Verwendungen bestimmter pradikativer Muster kommt dabei ein besonderer Stellenwert zu.

Dans l'antiquite, la grammaire etait l'art de bien ecrire, et elle n'a pas perdu ce lien etroit a l'ecrit. La critique de la grammaire interroge ces liens par rapport a la realite langagiere. En effet, l'ecrit n'est pas une simple representation de l'oral, mais il ordonne, rationalise la pratique orale. Baser la grammaire sur l'ecrit, revient a decrire une forme deja rationalisee de la langue. Et ces descriptions ne refletent que partiellement la realite orale. Contribution a une grammaire critique, ce livre propose des alternatives aux descriptions grammaticales en dehors des rationalisations de l'ecrit. Elle ouvre ainsi les pistes pour une conceptualisation nouvelle de la langue.

This book offers a comprehensive investigation into advanced students' knowledge of vocabulary in their L1 and L2. As a cross-sectional study, it examines the quantitative aspects of students' vocabulary knowledge through parallel tests of upper secondary level vocabulary, specialised vocabulary, and advanced vocabulary in both their L1 and L2. It also, primarily in qualitative terms, investigates students' L1 and L2 knowledge of polysemous words, lexical fields of near synonyms and false friends. Knowledge of derivative forms, idioms, proverbs, idiomatically used prepositions and multi-word verbs offer insights into both the breadth and depth of students' L1 and L2 vocabulary knowledge. Finally, it considers the extent to which students' results can be attributed to differences between inferencing skills in their L1 and L2. In each subfield, the pedagogical implications of the findings are discussed. This book will be of interest to teachers and researchers focusing on the teaching and learning of vocabulary.

Originally published in 1907, as the revised edition of an 1893 original, this informative and engaging textbook sets out to contain and explicate all of the elements of English grammar. Primarily aimed at secondary school students, this book condenses and synthesizes the most important information, recognising and demonstrating throughout 'how much the half is greater than the whole'. Notably, 'a good supply of sentences for correction has been added to the concluding chapters on syntax' and questions appear at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning. Most questions have been chosen from Cambridge and Oxford Local Examination Papers and papers from the Royal College of Preceptors. Chapters are broad in scope; chapter headings include, 'Inflexion of nouns', 'Auxiliary and defective verbs' and 'Syntax of verbs'. This book will be of considerable value to anyone with an interest in the history of the English language and the history of education.

The essays in this volume address a core question regarding the structure of linguistic systems: how much access do the grammatical components - syntax, morphology and phonology - have to each other? The book's fifteen essays make a powerful argument in favor of a particular view of the interaction of these various components, shedding light on the nature of locality domains for allomorph selection, the morphosyntactic properties of the targets of phonological exponence, and adjudicating between competing theories of morphosyntaxphonology interaction. These words incorporate insights from recent theoretical developments such as Optimality Theory and Distributed Morphology, and insights made available to us by contemporary empirical methodologies, including field work and experimental and corpus-based quantitative work.

This pioneering piece of research on the situated study of language issues in the context of forced migration provides interdisciplinary insights into language as learned, used and lived by 12 Congolese refugees in Norway. It offers an innovative contribution to the field of SLA by bringing together structural, cognitive, social and critical approaches to data collected among the same individuals, these individuals being underrepresented within the field of SLA research as both refugees and learners whose experiences with language stem from the Global South. Their histories of mobility and their learning contexts are rarely reflected in theories and concepts from the Global North and this book thus makes a much-needed contribution to the field.

Learning a foreign language is much easier when it is approached with a knowledge of language structure ('grammar'), but many students find grammar mystifying. This text explains points of grammar straightforwardly using examples from several widely-studied languages, including English, so that students can see how the same principles work across different languages, and how the structures of different languages correspond both formally and functionally. The use of concrete examples makes grammar less abstract and easier to grasp, allowing students to relate what they are learning to knowledge that they already possess unconsciously; it simultaneously brings that knowledge up to a conscious level.

Korean Reader for Chinese Characters will help students of Korean master basic Chinese characters that are frequently encountered in everyday situations. More than five hundred characters are targeted in exercises that aid in the efficient study of the forms, meanings, and sounds of individual characters and their compounds. Although the primary goal of the Reader is recognition of basic Chinese characters, students are encouraged to learn to write them properly by inclusion of a section on stroke order. The Reader is also designed to reinforce skills in reading and writing in Korean while studying Chinese characters. Forty lessons are preceded by an introductory chapter on the principles of Chinese character formation and reading and writing characters and followed by appendices on stroke order, English translations of the main reading text of each lesson, and an index of characters. The lessons are organized into seven parts: new characters, reading text, glossary, notes, new words in characters, more words in characters, and exercises. After every fifth lesson, there is a section reviewing all the characters introduced in the preceding five lessons.

Updated and revised with more examples and expanded discussions, this second edition continues the aim of providing teachers with a solid understanding of the use and function of grammatical structures in American English. The book avoids jargon and presents essential grammatical structures clearly and concisely. Dr. DeCapua approaches grammar from a descriptive rather than a prescriptive standpoint, discussing differences between formal and informal language, and spoken and written English. The text draws examples from a wide variety of authentic materials to illustrate grammatical concepts. The many activities throughout the book engage users in exploring the different elements of grammar and in considering how these elements work together to form meaning. Users are encouraged to tap into their own, often subconscious, knowledge of grammar to consciously apply their knowledge to their own varied teaching settings. The text also emphasizes the importance of understanding grammar from the perspective of English language learners, an approach that allows teachers to better appreciate the difficulties these learners face. Specific areas of difficulties for learners of English are highlighted throughout.

The Church Slavonic (Slavic) language was devised in the ninth century. Based on Old Bulgarian, it was created by the Greek missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius. As the first written Slavic language it has become the mother of all modern Slavic languages and continues in daily use in the services of the Slavic Orthodox Churches. (Russian, Bulgarian, Polish etc.) This is a comprehensive grammar of the Church Slavonic language, covering etymology, parts of speech, and syntax. This English edition was translated from the Russian and includes an explanation of grammatical points that would be taken for granted by a native Russian speaker. Long used as a seminary textbook both in North America and Russia, Archbishop Alypy's work is an absolutely unique publication in English and is essential for anyone desiring to study Church Slavonic, from beginning learner to advanced scholar. Texts for practice are largely drawn from the Gospels. This is both a unique and authoritative work.
