TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
We learn to speak and understand our native language without any
great effort, for these are natural aspects of the maturation of
every human being. The skills of reading and writing, by contrast,
have to be learned, usually in an educational context. Now, when it
comes to a foreign language, all the skills (speaking, un
derstanding, reading and writing) have to be learned - nothing can
be acquired without considerable effort. This learning process does
not take place in a vac uum: it is heavily influenced by our
previous experience of acquiring our native language and learning
to read and write it. These facts have been taken as the background
to this book. We aim this book at native speakers of Dutch who have
learned to read and write their own language, and who now wish to
add skill in writing English to their repertoire. Since this is our
well-defined target group, we will be continually pointing to those
aspects of written English which differ from comparable aspects of
written Dutch, while also giving a complete guide to the writing
process. There are two matters concerning the presentation of
information in this book that require clarification in advance.
Firstly, the book contains hundreds of numbered examples."
Lexicographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes
on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the
broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they
strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of
lexicography and meta-lexicography. The almost 150 books published
in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main
themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on
aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure,
typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented
lexicographical documentation.
