"Side-by-Side Spanish and English Grammar" present explanations of the essential elements of Spanish grammar alongside their English-language equivalents. This method allows you to build on what you already know; not only do you learn Spanish grammar but also enjoy the added benefit of strengthening your grammar skills in your native tongue

Each lesson clearly explains functions and uses of the different parts of speech and includes abundant examples for each entry. Because the vocabulary is limited to frequently used words, you can concentrate more on a sentence's structure instead of becoming tangled in its meaning.

This third edition features a new exercise section to further reinforce what you have learned.

The field of morphology has gained expanded importance in contemporary linguistics with the realization that it can no longer be narrowly construed as the study of the means by which complex words are formed. Rather, the study of morphology must be situated in the context of our understanding of the mental lexicon as a whole. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Morphology offers a sweeping introduction to the field, showing that morphology is not only an active area of study in its own right, but also a critical link between different subfields of linguistics. Led by Editor in Chief Rochelle Lieber and an editorial board of international experts, this collection includes 115 wide-ranging and in-depth articles, encompassing all aspects of morphology, such as morphological units, inflection, derivation, compounding, and formal morphological means. Contributors at the forefront of the field discuss the major theoretical debates and methodological approaches, exploring the interface between morphology and phonology, syntax, and semantics, along with psycholinguistic, neurolinguistics, and sociolinguistic issues. The final section of the encyclopedia presents illustrative sketches of the morphological systems of a wide range of language families, from Arawak and Dravidian to Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European, offering a wide range of cross-linguistic data that will be useful to both researchers and teachers.

This highly illustrated textbook is both a reference and activity book for all beginners and early intermediate students of Arabic. As a reference book, it provides friendly theme-based vocabulary lists to perfect pronunciation through both listening and repetition. As an activity book, it helps absorb and practise vocabulary through a variety of engaging exercises. Each of the units in the book is divided into two sections with the first section suitable for early beginners, and the second section for late beginners or early intermediate students. Each section presents key vocabulary followed by a wide range of activities. This book assumes a reasonable knowledge of the Arabic script and basic grammar, and is intended for beginners and early intermediate students to back up learning elsewhere. Vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation are both important but sometimes tricky aspects of learning Arabic, and this book aims to help overcome this.

Das Buch ist ein Beitrag zur Semasiologie oder historischen Lexikologie. Der Verfasser untersucht das Weiterleben historischer - nicht selten totgesagter - Wortbedeutungen in alteren Texten aus dem Zeitraum zwischen Luther und Heine. Sein vornehmlicher, wenn auch nicht einziger Gesichtspunkt ist die Moeglichkeit der Erhellung dunkel gewordener Woerter durch den Ruckgriff auf mittelalterliche Bedeutungsbestande. Die Arbeitsbasis bilden vorzugsweise Dichtungen aus dem 16. bis zum Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts, ausserdem Abhandlungen, Essays usw. Ziel ist es, Vorarbeit fur ein genaueres Textverstandnis und die adaquate Textinterpretation zu leisten. Untersuchungsgegenstand ist ein Fundus von knapp 2.000 Woertern, die alle in einem Wortregister aufgefuhrt sind. Der neuen Auflage stellen Ulrich Knoop und Michael Muhlenhort einen Eingangsbeitrag voran. In diesem schreiben sie, das Buch bedeute die erneute Festigung einer schon damals - d.h. 1972, zum Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens der Erstauflage - vernunftigen Positionierung im Bedeutungserklarungsdschungel.

Die Arbeit eroeffnet eine neue Perspektive auf das eigentumliche Phanomen, dass bestimmte komplexe Verben nicht in Verbzweitstellung (V2) auftreten koennen. Satze wie "Der Regisseur urauffuhrt das Stuck." bzw. "Der Regisseur fuhrt das Stuck urauf." werden allgemein als ungrammatikalisch abgewiesen. In Verbletztstellung ("..., dass der Regisseur das Stuck urauffuhrt.") koennen diese Verben allerdings problemlos verwendet werden. Wahrend bisherige Analysen einen monokausalen Erklarungsansatz fur die Stellungsrestriktion verfolgten, wird mittels empirischer Verfahren gezeigt, dass das Phanomen durch ein komplexes Zusammenspiel verschiedenster Faktoren begrundet ist. Die Kernthese ist, dass die meisten der sog. NonV2-Verben gar keine Verben sind, sondern Substantive oder Adjektive. Faktoren, die gemeinhin als stellungsrestringierend gelten, hemmen letztlich das Auftreten finiter Verbformen. Dies spricht dafur, dass eine syntaktische Blockierungsregel als unabhangiges Phanomen gar nicht existiert, sondern ein Epiphanomen anderer Faktoren darstellt.

Hubo un periodo en el que el Paraguay fue referido como el pais con mayor bilinguismo en Latinoamerica. Hoy dia se lo considera un pais donde se habla mayormente el jopara, termino con el que se alude a un tipo de mezcla de las dos lenguas mayoritarias, el guarani y el espanol. ?En que contexto y con que proposito surge esta denominacion? ?Que es el jopara desde el punto de vista linguistico? ?Por que se suele focalizar la descripcion linguistica en el jopara y ya no en el guarani? ?Acaso ya no se habla el guarani? A partir de estas interrogantes se analizan diferentes aristas del problema, apuntando principalmente a dos objetivos. Por un lado, ofrecer una vision de conjunto de la investigacion sobre el jopara y de los enfoques teoricos existentes. Por el otro, explorar las implicaciones e inferencias sociolinguisticas del analisis netamente linguistico o estructural, que se basa fundamentalmente en textos escritos o transliterados, y descontextualizados. Si no se analizan practicas de lenguaje en relacion con la competencia de hablantes bilingues y monolingues en guarani, en el caso de que aun existan, ?como saber donde 'termina' el guarani y donde 'empieza' el castellano.
