Ten Lectures on Cognitive Sociolinguistics
Author: Dirk Geeraerts
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004336842
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Cognitive Sociolinguistics combines the interest in meaning of Cognitive Linguistics with the interest in social variation of sociolinguistics, converging on two domains of enquiry: variation of meaning, and the meaning of variation. These Ten Lectures, a transcribed version of talks given by professor Geeraerts in 2009 at Beihang University in Beijing, introduce and illustrate both dimensions. The ‘variation of meaning’ perspective involves looking at types of semantic and categorial variation, at the role of social and cultural factors in semantic variation and change, and at the interplay of stereotypes, prototypes and norms. The ‘meaning of variation’ perspective involves looking at the way in which categorization processes of the type studied by Cognitive Linguistics shape how scholars and laymen think about language variation.

Attila D'hun's Storybook/Cookbook
Author: Attila d’Hun Gyarmati
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1463454058
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
I offer this book as a troubadour, leading his listeners to a mystical playground. There are stories to most recipes in this book, and they are not based on, or subjected to scientific research, but rather, whimsical in nature. Delightful reading and delicious eating was, is and will be, as it should, through the ages. Attila d Huns Storybook-Cookbook is a collection of multi cultural, ancient, authentic, original and contemporary recipes. The author hopes to inspire many inexperienced cooks to create delicious meals to impress friends and family members by reading the stories first. The association of the stories and related recipes, in this book, will go beyond Pavlovs classical conditioning theory. The stimulus will be at a higher conscious level, where the intelligent and curious inquisition will stimulate the readers salivary glands and taste buds. Easy to follow recipes! Cooking was never so easy, and hopefully will never be the same!

Audio Culture, Revised Edition
Author: Christoph Cox
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501318365
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 665
Book Description
The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Continuum; September 2004; paperback original) maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. It aims to foreground the various rewirings of musical composition and performance that have taken place in the past few decades and to provide a critical and theoretical language for this new audio culture. This new and expanded edition of the Audio Culture contains twenty-five additional essays, including four newly-commissioned pieces. Taken as a whole, the book explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrète, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, ambient music, hip hop, and techno via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers. Instead of focusing on some "crossover" between "high art" and "popular culture," Audio Culture takes all these musics as experimental practices on par with, and linked to, one another. While cultural studies has tended to look at music (primarily popular music) from a sociological perspective, the concern here is philosophical, musical, and historical. Audio Culture includes writing by some of the most important musical thinkers of the past half-century, among them John Cage, Brian Eno, Ornette Coleman, Pauline Oliveros, Maryanne Amacher, Glenn Gould, Umberto Eco, Jacques Attali, Simon Reynolds, Eliane Radigue, David Toop, John Zorn, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. Each essay has its own short introduction, helping the reader to place the essay within musical, historical, and conceptual contexts, and the volume concludes with a glossary, a timeline, and an extensive discography.

The River Killers
Author: Bruce Burrows
Publisher: TouchWood Editions
ISBN: 1926971574
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Danny Swanson, Department of Fisheries and Oceans employee and ex-fisherman, isn’t exactly upset when he’s reassigned from a desk job in Ottawa to an at-sea job on the West Coast. His superiors think they’re punishing him for his indiscretions, but Danny is pleased to be back on the Pacific, reconnecting with his old fishing buddies. Revisiting his past life, though, is trolling up some old memories, including a troubling incident from ten years ago, when Danny and his crew pulled up a deformed fish. It was young Billy who decided to bring the odd creature to the DFO in Vancouver for examination. Billy and the fish were never seen again. Now, Danny’s buddy is on his mind when he stumbles across a photo of the fish in the DFO databases, and suddenly, Danny can’t let Billy’s disappearance get swept under the rug. With the help of RCMP Sergeant Louise Karavchuk, Danny starts hauling old histories to the surface and delving into what he starts to believe may be a massive conspiracy. Who can Danny trust in his search for the truth? The organized, well-dressed officials of the DFO? Or his somewhat rowdy and rough-around-the-edges fishing buddies from the past?
