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

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

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. It shows him in the right historical perspective as the product of the impact of Greek thought on Islamic teachings against the background of the Persian Renaissance in the tenth century. 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

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).

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.

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.

New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975

New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975

Between 1955 and 1975 music theatre became a central preoccupation for European composers digesting the consequences of the revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end of the Second World War. The ‘new music theatre’ wrought multiple significant transformations serving as a crucible for the experimental rethinking of theatrical traditions artistic genres the conventions of performance and the composer’s relation to society. This volume brings together leading specialists from across Europe to offer a new appraisal of the genre. It is structured according to six themes that investigate: the relation of new music theatre to earlier and contemporaneous theories of drama; the use of new technologies; the relation of new music theatre to progressive politics; the role of new venues and environments; the advancement of new conceptions of the performer; and the challenges that new music theatre lays down for music analysis. Contributing authors address canonical works by composers such as Berio Birtwistle Henze Kagel Ligeti Nono and Zimmermann but also expand the field to figures and artistic developments not regularly represented in existing music histories. Particular attention is given to new music theatre as a site of intense exchange – between practitioners of different art forms across national borders and with diverse mediating institutions. | New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975

Experiencing Organised Sounds The Listening Experience Across Diverse Sound-Based Works

Experiencing Organised Sounds The Listening Experience Across Diverse Sound-Based Works

Experiencing Organised Sounds investigates a wide horizon of sound-based works using a template consistently across its 16 studies. It has been written for both specialist and non-specialist readers aiming to address means of increasing appreciation and understanding related to the experience of sonic creativity (music involving any sounds not just musical notes) across this repertoire as well as to launch a discussion about how the reception of sonic creativity can be influenced by the circumstances of listening – in particular regarding the qualitative difference between the in-situ as opposed to mediated experience. Although listening is the volume’s focus complementary information from the musicians is offered to facilitate holistic work overviews. As the first composition presented was composed by a 15-year-old the intention is to demonstrate that what might be considered a niche area of the contemporary arts is one in which both increased appreciation and participation could and should easily be achieved. The book’s work discussions are divided over three central chapters focused on fixed-medium compositions performed and sound artworks. Experiencing Organised Sounds can be used as an undergraduate textbook by experienced readers or those new to the area. All works discussed and related materials are available to readers online. | Experiencing Organised Sounds The Listening Experience Across Diverse Sound-Based Works

The New Midlife Self-Writing

The New Midlife Self-Writing

In The New Midlife Self-Writing Wittman treats recent self-writing by Rachel Cusk Roxane Gay Sarah Manguso and Maggie Nelson carefully situating these vital midlife works within the history of self-writing. She argues that they renew and redirect the autobiographical trajectories characteristic of earlier self-writing by switching their orientation to face the future and by celebrating midlife as a growing season a time of Bildung. In each chapter writer-by-writer she demonstrates how the midlife self-writers in question trace confident and future-oriented paths through the past rejecting triumphalism and complicating both identity and individualism just as they refine and redefine genres. Exploring these midlife self-writers as chroniclers of Generation X’s midlife in particular Wittman coins the term digital absence to map their unique relationship to new forms of knowledge and knowledge gathering in an Information Age that they are both of and set apart from. She theorizes that their works share a pedagogical style a style characterized by clarity exposition and classical rhetoric as well as a concern with the classroom offering a warrant for reading them in pedagogical terms in concert with traditional scholarly approaches. Furthermore Wittman presents readers with a look ahead at the future of midlife self-writing as well as self-writing overall concluding that we might be looking at the scholarship of the future.

New Regionalism in Australia

New Regionalism in Australia

New Regionalism promoted as a new paradigm of development by the OECD suggests that globalization is bringing together new technologies management employees and communities to form new patterns of local governance. However despite the growing influence of New Regionalism in regional development policy in the West and increasingly in Australia there has been little debate about the relevance and application of these ideas in Australia. Bringing together contributions from academics practitioners and policy makers this book redresses this imbalance by examining the theoretical and empirical foundations of this powerful and growing school of thought locating the debate firmly in the Australian context. With an opening chapter by Kevin Morgan (Cardiff University) who has been at the heart of the New Regionalism debate the book provides important insights into the theory and practice of New Regionalism in this vibrant region. | New Regionalism in Australia
