Tense in English Its Structure and Use in Discourse

Tense in English Its Structure and Use in Discourse

First published in 1991 this book looks at tense in English one of the most controversial areas of grammar. Prior to the book’s original publication the problems and interest in the subject led to an impressive number of books and articles. Yet despite the amount of work produced nothing approaching a consensus had emerged merely a series of conflicting theories and analyses. Here Renaat Declerck provides a framework for a theoretical instrument which will enable the linguist to interpret the data correctly. The book is primarily theoretical in nature but offers descriptive theory and a discussion of the various tenses which will make it a valuable tool for those teaching English. Theoretical and applied linguists will find this an important contribution to the debate on tense and a worthy starting point for future research. The book is not written from the viewpoint of any particular linguistic theory and does not presuppose any knowledge of tense theory it is a readable and reliable guide to the area. | Tense in English Its Structure and Use in Discourse

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Composed of serialized works poems short tales and novellas Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia merit serious scholarly attention as revelatory works in and of themselves as well as for what they tell us about the development of Brontë as a writer. This timely collection attends to both critical strands positioning Brontë as an author whose career encompassed the Romantic and Victorian eras and delving into the developing nineteenth century's literary concerns as well as the growth of the writer's mind. As the contributors show Brontë's authorship took shape among the pages of her juvenilia as figures from Brontë's childhood experience of the world such as Wellington and Napoleon transmuted to her fictional pages while her siblings' works and worlds both overlapped with and extended beyond her own. | Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

John of Damascus New Studies on his Life and Works

John of Damascus New Studies on his Life and Works

For more than five hundred years the life and work of John of Damascus (c. 655-c. 745) have been the subject of a very extensive literature scholarly and popular in which it is often difficult to get one’s bearings. Through the studies included here (of which 6 appear in a translation into English made specially for this volume) Vassa Kontouma provides a critical review of this literature and attempts to answer several open questions: the author and date of composition of the official Life of John the philosophical significance of the Dialectica (a study which has its first publication here) the original structure of the Exposition of the Orthodox faith the identity of ps. Cyril the authenticity of the Letter on Great Lent and questions of Mariology. She also opens new vistas for research along four main lines: the life of John of Damascus and its sources Neochalcedonian philosophy systematic theology in Byzantium and Christian practices under the Umayyads. | John of Damascus New Studies on his Life and Works

Revival: Li Chih 1527-1602 in Contemporary Chinese Historiography (1980) New light on his life and works

Revival: Li Chih 1527-1602 in Contemporary Chinese Historiography (1980) New light on his life and works

The present monograph primarily a collection of annotated translations of these recent studies is neither a new appraisal of Li Chih drawing on these materials nor a critical evaluation of the current Chinese scholarship on his life and thought. In a modest way it is an attempt to make these new sources of information more readily accessible to the sinological community to faciliate research. The divisions of this study are: two sections consisting of translations of new materials on Li Chih with an analytical introduction on the significance of these discoveries and two appendices of bibliographical accounts of primary and secondary sources down to recent times. | Revival: Li Chih 1527-1602 in Contemporary Chinese Historiography (1980) New light on his life and works

Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton

Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton

Hermeneutics is an interdisciplinary study of how we interpret texts especially biblical texts in the light of theories of understanding in philosophy meaning in literary theory and of theology. This volume brings together the seminal thought of a leading contemporary pioneer in this field. Thiselton's The Two Horizons was a classic on how horizons of biblical texts engage creatively with the horizons of the modern world. The author's later New Horizons in Hermeneutics explored still more deeply the transforming capacities of biblical texts while his massive commentary on 1 Corinthians interpreted an epistle. This volume collects many of Anthony Thiselton's more notable writings from some seven books and 70 articles to which he adds his own re-appraisals of earlier work. It uniquely expounds the thought of a major contemporary British theologian through his own words and includes his own critical assessments. | Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton

Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

Copyright law regulates creativity. It affects the way people create works of authorship ex-ante and affects the status of works of authorship significantly ex-post. But does copyright law really understand creativity? Should legal theories alone inform our regulation of the creative process?This book views copyright law as a law of creativity. It asks whether copyright law understands authorship as other creativity studies fields do. It considers whether copyright law should incorporate non-legal theories and if so how it should be adjusted in their light. For this purpose the book focuses on one of the many rights that copyright law regulates – the right to make a derivative work. A work is considered derivative when it is based on one or more preexisting works. Today the owner of a work of authorship has the exclusive right to make derivative works based on her original work or to allow others to do so. The book suggests a new way to think about both the right the tension and copyright law at large. It proposes relying on non-legal fields like cognitive psychology and genre theories and offers new legal-theoretical justifications for the right to make derivative works. As the first book to consider the intersection between copyright law creativity and derivative works this will be a valuable resource for students scholars and practitioners interested in intellectual property and copyright law. | Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

This book identifies Lin’s legacy of translation and recognition as his acknowledgement of source and target cultural territories in translation and at the same time his questioning of perspectives that privilege the authority of either. This book will appeal to scholars and students in Translation Studies World and Comparative Literature Literary and Cultural Studies and Chinese Studies. It can also be used as a reference work for practitioners in translation and creative writing. | The Works of Lin Yutang Translation and Recognition

Avicenna His Life and Works

Avicenna His Life and Works

This book first published in 1958 examines the life and works of Avicenna one of the most provocative figures in the history of thought in the East.

His attitude can be of guidance to those in the East who are meeting the challenge of Western civilization; and to those in the West who have yet to find a basis on which to harmonize scientific with spiritual values. | Avicenna His Life and Works

The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

The figure of the alchemical Mercurius features ubiquitously and radically in Jung’s later works but despite this there has been little research concerning Mercurius in Jungian studies to date. In this book Mathew Mather explores the figure of the alchemical Mercurius and contextualises and clarifies its significance in Jung’s life and works. Placing the alchemical Mercurius as a central concern reveals a Jungian interpretation in which the grail legend alchemy and precessional astrology as three thematic threads converge. In such a treatment Jung’s belief in the dawning of a new platonic month emerges as a central consideration and an esoteric perspective on Jung’s life and works is brought more fully to light constructing a life-myth interpretation. The book is comprised of three parts: Aurea Catena: locating the figure of the alchemical Mercurius within the Western esoteric tradition Daimonic Encounter: the relevance of this figure in Jung’s personal life Magnum Opus: Jung’s portrayal of this figure in key texts such as Synchronicity Aion Mysterium Coniunctionis; and Emma Jung and von Franz’s The Grail Legend. The Alchemical Mercurius is a unique contribution to analytical psychology substantially revealing ‘esoteric Jung’ and providing valuable perspectives on the theme of his myth for our times. The book will appeal to researchers and academics in the field of analytical psychology as well as postgraduate students. | The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

Xenophon’s Socratic Works

Xenophon’s Socratic Works

Xenophon’s Socratic Works demonstrates that Xenophon a student of Socrates military man and man of letters is an indispensable source for our understanding of the life and philosophy of Socrates. David M. Johnson restores Xenophon’s most ambitious Socratic work the Memorabilia (Socratic Recollections) to its original literary context enabling readers to experience it as Xenophon’s original audience would have rather than as a pale imitation of Platonic dialogue. He shows that the Memorabilia together with Xenophon’s Apology provides us with our best evidence for the trial of Socrates and a comprehensive and convincing refutation of the historical charges against Socrates. Johnson’s account of Socrates’ moral psychology shows how Xenophon’s emphasis on control of the passions can be reconciled with the intellectualism normally attributed to Socrates. Chapters on Xenophon’s Symposium and Oeconomicus (Estate Manager) reveal how Xenophon used all the literary tools of Socratic dialogue to defend Socratic sexual morality (Symposium) and debate the merits and limits of conventional elite values (Oeconomicus). Throughout the book Johnson argues that Xenophon’s portrait of Socrates is rich and coherent and largely compatible with the better-known portrait of Socrates in Plato. Xenophon aimed not to provide a rival portrait of Socrates Johnson shows but to supplement and clarify what others had said about Socrates. Xenophon’s Socratic Works thus provides readers with a far firmer basis for reconstruction of the trial of Socrates a key moment in the history of Athenian democracy and for our understanding of Socrates’ seminal impact on Greek philosophy. This volume introduces Xenophon’s Socratic works to a wide range of readers from undergraduate students encountering Socrates or ancient philosophy for the first time to scholars with interests in Socrates or ancient philosophy more broadly. It is also an important resource for readers interested in Socratic dialogue as a literary form the trial of Socrates Greek sexual morality (the central topic of Xenophon’s Symposium) or Greek social history (for which the Oeconomicus is a key text).

A New Dictionary of Music

A New Dictionary of Music

What is a fugue? What is the difference between a saxophone and a saxhorn? Who besides Puccini wrote an opera called La Boheme? In what year was the National Broadcasting Company Orchestra formed under Arturo Toscanini's direction? These and thousands of similar questions are answered in this comprehensive dictionary that remains unrivaled as a single-volume summary. A New Dictionary of Music is a basic reference work for anyone interested in music whether performer or layman. It covers orchestral solo choral and chamber music opera and (in its musical aspects) the ballet. There are entries for composers (with biographies and details of compositions); works well known by their titles such as operas and symphonic poems; orchestras performers and conductors of importance today; musical instruments (including those of the dance and brass bands); and technical terms. English names and terms are used whenever possible but foreign terms in general use are cross-referenced. Particular importance has been attached to bringing the reader abreast of new musical developments. The composers and musical works chosen were those most likely to be encountered. Where an opera is given an entry a brief explanation of the title follows. Similarly explication is provided for other works bearing literary or otherwise allusive titles. Among performers and conductors only the following are included: those who although dead continue to be prominent through recorded performances (e. g. Gigli); the highest-ranking international artists of today plus a very few apparently on the verge of attaining that rank; and a few who though not necessarily at the very head of their profession are closely associated with composers in bringing out new works or are conductors in charge of important orchestras.

Teacher Evaluation Policies and Practices in Japan How performativity works in schools

This book explores the impacts of the introduction of new teacher evaluation policies on teachers and head teachers in Japan particularly that of producing and reinforcing mutual policing relations among teachers and the destabilisation of their identities. It is timely given the big surge of interest world-wide in measuring and developing teachers’ quality to ensure better learning outcomes. As in many other countries teachers in Japan have to account for their performance and competence in new ways. This book focuses on the nature and impact of these new accountabilities by drawing on data from a national survey and in-depth interviews with a sample of teachers and head teachers as it surveys: New teacher evaluation policies Theories of teacher evaluation and performativity Views on the new teacher evaluation policies The enactment of the new teacher evaluation policies The quantitative data is used to show how teachers experience and perceive the new teacher evaluation policies and practices and the qualitative data is used to discuss the depth of analysis required to look at the nature of performativity. This book will be a valued addition to the research base upon which both policy makers and practitioners across the nations can draw for the improvement of teacher evaluation as a means of professional development and accountability. | Teacher Evaluation Policies and Practices in Japan How performativity works in schools

The Routledge Guidebook to The New Testament

The Routledge Guidebook to The New Testament

As part of the Christian canon of scripture the New Testament is one of the most influential works in history. Its impact can be seen in many different fields but without an awareness of the historical cultural social and intellectual context of early Christianity it can be difficult for modern-day readers to fully understand what the first-century authors were trying to say and how the first readers of the New Testament would have understood these ideas. The Routledge Guidebook to the New Testament offers an academic introduction to the New Testament examining: The social and historical context in which the New Testament was written The primary text supporting students in close analysis from a range of consensus positions The contemporary reception and ongoing influence of the New Testament With further reading suggestions this guidebook is essential reading for all students of religion and philosophy and all those wishing to engage with this important work.

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn’t) in Reducing Recidivism offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Experts Latessa Johnson and Koetzle translate the research and findings about what works and doesn’t work in reducing recidivism into understandable concepts and terms presenting them in a way that illustrates the value of research to practice. Over the last several decades research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders but it is clear that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Offenders vary by gender age crime type and/or addictions to name but a few ways and these individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally issues such as leadership quality of staff and evaluation efforts affect the quality and delivery of treatment services. While other texts have addressed issues regarding treatment in corrections this text is unique in that it not only discusses the research on what works but also addresses the implementation issues faced as practitioners move from theory to practice as well as the importance of staff leadership and evaluation efforts. This book synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working with offenders. | What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism
