Originalhardcover. Zustand: Gut. XVII, 113 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - This book deals with the expression of emotions in Igala a Nigerian minority language with about two million speakers from a Cognitive Linguistics perspective. The author investigates the network of the Igala language of emotions using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) framework as developed by Anna Wierzbicka and her collaborators. The claims of adequacy of NSM in its present form for the analysis of emotion concepts universally will be challenged. This is due to the way emotions are conceptualized in the Igala language and due to the absence of certain semantic primes which are considered necessary for the analysis of emotions.Therefore, this study presents a testing ground for further development of the framework as well as a peek into research in African languages.

Originalhardcover. Zustand: Gut. 328 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The discourse on Physiognomy had an important influence and impact on European theatrical culture at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. The book discusses the debate about the scientific nature of Physiognomy. Starting from the concept that Physiognomy refers to particular signs on the face, it looks for evidence of a knowledge and awareness of this pseudo-scientific theory. The author researches among various acting manuals and theatrical works in English, German, French and Italian. She points out that Physiognomy makes an appearance in many different guises. In the so-called «physiognomical portraits», for instance, where we find animated discussions on the passions to be displayed, and also direct references to Johann Caspar Lavater and his science.

Originalhardcover. Zustand: Gut. 166 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Esta obra explora el complejo entramado de poder que se intuye tras la publicación de la traducción de una obra literaria. Partiendo de la Sociología Crítica de Pierre Bourdieu, el concepto de poder de Michel Foucault o el de paratexto de Gérard Genette, así como de los avances previos realizados por autores como André Lefevere o Michaela Wolf, María López Ponz explora los condicionantes socioculturales que influyen en el resultado final de un proceso de traducción. Para ello, se sirve también de un curioso caso de estudio: las traducciones duplicadas de diversas obras pertenecientes a la literatura hispano-estadounidense. Así, las circunstancias laborales, ideológicas o económicas que rodean el trasvase salen a la luz en este estudio que sitúa al traductor en el centro de la teoría de la traducción.

Originalhardcover. Zustand: Gut. XX, 216 S. Einband leicht berieben. - This book is the first major sociophonetic work on the urban accent of Aberdeen in North-East Scotland. The study shows how the accent has changed following the large-scale immigration from other parts of Scotland and the UK since the 1970s. It is rooted in a dialect contact framework and based on sociolinguistic interviews with a stratified sample of 44 Aberdonians. The study uses an innovative method to assess the importance of the individual speaker in innovating and conserving the local accent. Based on six phonological variables, it shows how the traditional variants are replaced or marginalised, supraregional forms gain ground and strongly marked forms typical of Glaswegian or London English are added to the local feature pool ISBN 9783631680933 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 405.
