Houses Without Names
Author: Thomas C. Hubka
Publisher: Vernacular Architecture Studie
ISBN: 9781572339477
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
"Hubka argues that even "vernacular architecture" scholars tend to embrace a model for understanding home forms that relies on iconic architects and theories about how ideas proceed downward from aesthetic ideals to home construction, even though this model fails to adequately characterize the vast majority actual homes that people live in, particularly in recent times after the widespread growth of suburban America. This controversial book proposes new ways to categorize houses"--

Proper Names versus Common Nouns
Author: Javier Caro Reina
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110672626
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Recent research has shown that proper names morphosyntactically differ from common nouns in many ways. However, little is known about the morphological and syntactic/distributional differences between proper names and common nouns in less known (Non)-Indo-European languages. This volume brings together contributions which explore morphosyntactic phenomena such as case marking, gender assignment rules, definiteness marking, and possessive constructions from a synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspective. The languages surveyed include Austronesian languages, Basque, English, German, Hebrew, and Romance languages. The volume contributes to a better understanding not only of the contrasts between proper names and common nouns, but also of formal contrasts between different proper name classes such as personal names, place names, and others.
