This dictionary provides a valency description of English verbs,
nouns and adjectives. Each entry contains a comprehensive list of
the complementation patterns identified on the basis of the largest
corpus of English available at the present time. All examples are
taken directly from the COBUILD/Birmingham corpus. The valency
description comprises statements about the quantitative valency of
the lexical units established, an inventory of their obligatory,
contextually optional and purely optional complements as well as
systematic information on the semantic and collocational properties
of the complements. An outline of the model of valency theory used
in this dictionary is provided in the introduction. Key Features

Cell culture techniques are invaluable to the modern researcher but difficult to carry out successfully. As part of the series of Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology, this volume offers a concise practical guide to the basic essentials of the technique. Researchers new to cell culture will find a clear explanation of the essential equipment of a tissue culture facility, including tissue culture media and sera. It describes methods for growing suspension and adhesion cultures, including how to store cells and prepare primary cultures from cells. For those already culturing cells, the handbook will act as a handy reference to the basic techniques. The essence of the book is to deal with the generalities of cell culture and to give a grasp of the basic concepts before involvement in more specialized work in the field. Ideal for anyone moving into tissue cell culture techniques or looking for a concise reference book.

Valency occupies a special place in German linguistics. It not only
features prominently in newer grammars of German but has also
inspired a wealth of lexicographic work, often of a contrastive
nature. The concept has also triggered a fierce theoretical
discussion over the last 15 years which has, to the surprise of
some, strengthened rather than weakened its central place in
grammatography. The papers in this volume examine the continuing
importance of valency as a dynamic force within linguistics - which
has evolved in a number of directions in recent years and has
stimulated much fruitful debate - and also offer insights into the
practical application of valency theory in a number of areas.
Several papers embody recent theoretical thinking, including its
interface with general theories of human language, while the
majority of contributions are devoted to the discussion of
practical applications which involve a substantial element of
contrastive study. Die Valenztheorie hat eine besondere Stellung in
der germanistischen Linguistik. Sie spielt nicht nur eine zentrale
Rolle in den neueren Grammatiken des Deutschen, sondern sie hat
auch eine erhebliche Anzahl an lexikographischen Projekten (oft
kontrastiver Natur) angeregt. Um den Valenzbegriff wurde in den
letzten 15 Jahren eine zum Teil erbitterte theoretische Diskussion
gefuhrt, die - und dies kam fur Kritiker uberraschend - seine
zentrale Bedeutung in der Grammatiktheorie eher gestarkt als
geschwacht hat. Dieser Sammelband zeugt von der theoretischen
Dynamik der gegenwartigen Valenzdebatte: In mehreren Beitragen
werden jungste Theorieentwicklungen angesprochen, u. a. die
Einbindung von Valenz in eine allgemeine Sprachtheorie.
Danebenbefasst sich der Band mit praktischen Anwendungen von Valenz
uberwiegend aus einer kontrastiven Perspektive.
This volume brings together fifteen essays by scholars which were
first presented at a conference held in Oxford in September 1997 to
mark the bicentenary of Schubert's birth. This collection of essays
examines a variety of aspects of cultural and social life in
Austria in the first half of the nineteenth century but also
explores the perpetuating of myths and stereotypes derived from
those years and the ways in which the Biedermeier period continued
to influence later generations, not least in their repeated
attempts to create an image of "the good old days" based on the age
of Schubert before the chaos of the 1848 revolution and the
construction of the RingstraBe. Major figures from literature and
culture are well represented (Grillparzer, Nestroy, Stifter,
Bauernfeld) but an important focus of the volume is on lesser known
writers who were responsible for the creation of the Biedermeier
myth: Frankl, Bartsch, Lux and others. A further group of essays is
concerned with general topics such as Austrian identity, the
existence of a specifically Austrian strand of philosophy, and
changing attitudes towards nature.
