Romantic drama starring Phoebe Thomas as Jemima, a young
schoolteacher who decides to re-build a children's arts centre, The
Art Factory, that she originally set up with her late brother,
James. When Jemima meets the handsome and wealthy Michael (Matthew
Chambers) she asks for his help in raising enough money to keep the
Factory open. However, after being humiliated on television by
Michael's girlfriend, Veronica (Julia Verdin), Jemima resorts to
extreme measures to keep the arts centre open.
This open access volume offers valuable new perspectives on the
question of how mobility, locatedness and immersion in the physical
world can enhance second language teaching and learning. It does so
through a diverse array of empirical studies of language, literacy,
and culture learning in the linguistic landscape of visible and
audible public discourse. Written from conceptually rich and
disciplinarily varied perspectives, its ten chapters address
methodological and practical problems of relating language learning
to the lived and rapidly changing places of the late modern
world. Whether it is within the four walls of a school, in a
nearby multilingual neighborhood, in a virtual telecollaborative
space, or in any other location where languages may be learned,
this volume highlights different configurations of learning spaces,
the leveraging of real-world places for critical learning, and ways
to productively ‘dislocate’ language learners from preconceived
notions and standardized experiences. Together, these elements
create conditions for a language and literacy pedagogy that can be
said to be robustly spatialized: linguistically and culturally
complex, geographically situated, historically informed,
dialogically realized, and socially engaged.
This volume clusters together issues centered upon the variety of
types of intensional semantics. Consisting of 10 contributions, the
volume is based on papers presented at the Trends in Logic 2019
conference. The various chapters introduce readers to the topic, or
apply new types of logical semantics to elucidate subtleties of
logical systems and natural language semantics. The book introduces
hyperintentional systems that aim at solving some open
philosophical problems. Specifically, the first three studies focus
on relating semantics, while the following ones discuss fundamental
issues related to hyper-intensional semantics or develop
hyper-intensional frameworks to address issues in modal, epistemic,
deontic and action logic. Authors in this volume present original
results on logical systems but also extend beyond this by offering
philosophical considerations on the topic as well. This volume will
appeal to students and researchers in the field of logic.
Originally published in 1922, this early work on anthropology is
both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details
the lives and customs of the Trobriand who live on an island chain
in the western Pacific and is a highly regarded study of their
tribal culture. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly
recommended for anyone interested in ethnology. Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic
works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
This volume investigates what is beyond the Principle of
Non-Contradiction. It features 14 papers on the foundations of
reasoning, including logical systems and philosophical
considerations. Coverage brings together a cluster of issues
centered upon the variety of meanings of consistency,
contradiction, and related notions. Most of the papers, but not
all, are developed around the subtle distinctions between
consistency and non-contradiction, as well as among contradiction,
inconsistency, and triviality, and concern one of the above
mentioned threads of the broadly understood non-contradiction
principle and the related principle of explosion. Some others take
a perspective that is not too far away from such themes, but with
the freedom to tread new paths. Readers should understand the title
of this book in a broad way,because it is not so obvious to deal
with notions like contradictions, consistency, inconsistency, and
triviality. The papers collected here present groundbreaking ideas
related to consistency and inconsistency.
The author takes into account the various views of religion which
Tylor, Frazer, Marett, and Durkheim have given and goes on from
there to provide his own conception that religion and magic are
ways men have to make the world acceptable.
area and in applications to linguistics, formal epistemology, and
the study of norms. The second contains papers on non-classical and
many-valued logics, with an eye on applications in computer science
and through it to engineering. The third concerns the logic of
belief management, whichis likewise closely connected with recent
work in computer science but also links directly with epistemology,
the philosophy of science, the study of legal and other normative
systems, and cognitive science. The grouping is of course rough,
for there are contributions to the volume that lie astride a
boundary; at least one of them is relevant, from a very abstract
perspective, to all three areas. We say a few words about each of
the individual chapters, to relate them to each other and the
general outlook of the volume. Modal Logics The ?rst bundle of
papers in this volume contains contribution to modal logic. Three
of them examine general problems that arise for all kinds of modal
logics. The ?rst paper is essentially semantical in its approach,
the second proof-theoretic, the third semantical again:
Commutativity of quanti?ers in varying-domain Kripke models, by R.
Goldblatt and I. Hodkinson, investigates the possibility of com-
tation (i.e. reversing the order) for quanti?ers in ?rst-order
modal logics interpreted over relational models with varying
domains. The authors study a possible-worlds style structural model
theory that does not v- idate commutation, but satis?es all the
axioms originally presented by Kripke for his familiar semantics
for ?rst-order modal logic."
The area of intelligent and adaptive user interfaces has been of
interest to the research community for a long time. Much effort has
been spent in trying to find a stable theoretical base for
adaptivity in human-computer interaction and to build prototypical
systems showing features of adaptivity in real-life interfaces. To
date research in this field has not led to a coherent view of
problems, let alone solutions. A workshop was organized, which
brought together a number of well-known researchers in the area of
adaptive user interfaces with a view to
develop a coherent view of the results accomplished in the
field
organize basic ideas which might lead to a more general methodology
for adaptivity in order to overcome the problem of specialized,
non-generalizable solutions, and
discuss possible areas for future research in the field and to
define criteria for the selection of the most promising directions
of such research.
The results of the workshop are presented in this volume. The
authors have collected papers from the participants which describe
both their research and their views on questions which were dealt
with during the workshop. A state-of-the-art report and taxonomy
for the field of adaptive interfaces and a discussion summary are
also included in this volume.
Proceedings of the Conference for Formal Methods in the Methodology
of Emperical Sciences, Warsaw, June 17-21, 1974, Poland.
First published in 1922, this classic text examines the extensive
and complex trading system maintained by the Trobriand Islanders.
While the main theme is economics and social organization, the
power of magic, mythology and folklore are also examined.
