Engendering Cosmopolitanism Through the Local presents a critique of multicultural education, which tends to focus on multiculturalism at the expense of a truly international curriculum. While lessons in multiculturalism are oftentimes well intentioned, this book begins with the premise that we do a disservice by imparting lessons in international culture and history through multiculturalism, which can perpetuate insularity even as it claims to promote global coverage. The book offers background on World Literature, a term used for one hundred years to refer to a global literary tradition; reviews the numerous challenges of reading cross culturally; and provides an overview of cosmopolitanism, a two-thousand-year-old concept referring to our ability to appreciate cultures and nations different from our own. The book also shares the stories of three teachers who engaged their students with international literature by connecting texts topically or thematically with the students’ lived experiences. The book closes with suggested curriculum on modern Chinese literature. Engendering Cosmopolitanism Through the Local provides important and practical background information invaluable to courses on literacy, children’s literature, multicultural education, and global studies.

Описание: Charles Burack argues that Lawrence`s major novels, beginning with The Rainbow , are structured as religious initiation rites that attempt to break down the reader`s normative mindset and to evoke new, numinous experiences of self and world.
Описание: Winner of the Tianjin Social Science Outstanding Achievement Award. This book reports on the contrastive-semantic investigation of sadness expressions between English and Chinese, based on two monolingual general corpora and a parallel corpus. The exploration adopts a unique theoretical approach which integrates corpus-linguistic theories on meaning (as a social construct, usage and paraphrase) with a corpus-linguistic lexical model. It employs a new complex but workable methodology which combines computational tools with manual examination to tease meaning out of corpus evidence, to compare and contrast lexical items that do not match up neatly between languages. It looks at sadness expressions both within and across languages in terms of three corpus-linguistic structural categories, i.e. colligation, collocation and semantic association/preference, and paraphrase (both explicit and implicit) to capture their subtle nuances of meaning, disclose the culture-specific conceptualisations encoded in them, and highlight their respective cultural distinctiveness of emotion. By presenting multidisciplinary original work, Sadness Expressions in English and Chinese will be of interest to researchers in corpus linguistics, contrastive lexical semantics, psychology, bilingual lexicography and language pedagogy.

Описание: Beyond the His Dark Materials series lies a vast fictional realm populated by the many diverse character creations of Philip Pullman. During a more than 30-year career, Pullman has created worlds filled with quests, trials, tragedies and triumphs, and this book explores those worlds. The picture books, novellas and novels written for children, adolescents and adults are analyzed through the themes of innocence and experience, and the journeys Pullman sets his characters on, journeys through which they learn that one must embrace change, loss and suffering to grow in wisdom and grace.

Описание: How did Ancient Greek express that an event occurred at a particular time, for a certain duration, or within a given time frame? The answer to these questions depends on a variety of conditions - the nature of the time noun, the tense and aspect of the verb, the particular historical period of Greek during which the author lived - that existing studies of the language do not take sufficiently into account. This book accordingly examines the circumstances that govern the use of the genitive, dative, and accusative of time, as well as the relevant prepositional constructions, primarily in Greek prose of the fifth century BC through the second century AD, but also in Homer. While the focus is on developments in Greek, translations of the examples, as well as a fully glossed summary chapter, make it accessible to linguists interested in the expression of time generally.
Описание: Die angewandte Linguistik ist per definitionem eine interdisziplinare Wissenschaft. Sie berucksichtigt nicht nur rein sprachliche, sondern auch pragmatische, soziale und psychologische Dimensionen bei der Beschreibung und Analyse sprachlicher Au?erungen. Dieser Sammelband vereint sprach- und kulturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen von Diskursen sowie Beitrage zur Lexikalisierung, Grammatikalisierung und Entwicklung von Sprachtheorien. La linguistique appliquee est per definitionem une science interdisciplinaire. Elle ne prend pas seulement en consideration la dimension langagiere, mais elle s’occupe aussi des dimensions pragmatique, sociale et psychologique dans la description et l’analyse des expressions linguistiques. Ce volume reunit des recherches linguistiques et culturelles sur differentes formes de discours, ainsi que des contributions sur la lexicalisation, la grammaticalisation et le developpement des theories.

Описание: This volume explores the grammatical properties of body-part expressions in the languages of the Americas. The chapters investigate a range of phenomena from the use of metaphor and metonymy to incorporation and possessive constructions, many of them drawing on data from lesser-known and often under-represented languages.
Описание: This book is the first critical edition of White Kennett`s Etymologicon Anglicanum, a long forgotten etymological compilation of the late 1690s with a substantial amount of regional dialect material. The first part introduces and contextualizes Kennett`s work, and the second offers a fully annotated edition of the text with substantial commentary.
Описание: In The Evolution of Complex Spatial Expressions within the Romance Family, Thomas Hoelbeek offers a corpus-based historical study of a group of expressions in French and Italian. Applying a functional approach, he tackles adpositions containing the French noun travers or the Italian noun traverso, previously never analysed from a diachronic perspective. This study enriches our knowledge of the expressions analysed and their functioning in the past, but also in present-day French and Italian, providing diachronic observations regarding functional notions put to the test. Thomas Hoelbeek’s work also contributes to a better understanding of the grammaticalisation mechanisms of complex constructions, and shows that typologically related languages may evolve differently in their ways of representing space.

Описание: Crime fiction has only in recent years been engaged by African-American authors. Pauline Hopkins, Rudolph Fisher and Chester Himes in the first half of the 20th century, followed by Ishmael Reed, Walter Mosley, Colson Whitehead and Stephen L. Carter. These authors provide a means of examining literary and social constructions of the African-American experience.
Описание: The young mulatto chancing upon a photo about skin color; the man from Martinique hearing himself named "Negro" in France; Indian call center agents learning to Americanize their accents; the Algerian Jewish philosopher reflecting on his relation to the French language; African intellectuals debating the use of English; the translator acting as a traitor and a mourner in cross-cultural exchange; Cantonese-speaking writers of Chinese contemplating food consumption; radio drama workers straddling the forms of traditional storytelling and mediatized sound broadcast: drawing on these and other personae, Rey Chow depicts riveting scenes of postcolonial languaging imbricated with race, class, and biopolitical demarcations. The native speaker, the fulcrum figure often accorded a transcendent status, is realigned here as the repository of illusory linguistic origins and unities. Articulating historical experience to practices and affects based in sounds and scripts, this book definitively transforms the basic parameters of postcolonial inquiry.
