Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Within linguistics there has been a great deal of interest in discourse particles for some time now especially within semantics and pragmatics. The term ‘discourse particles’ has been used to cover a broad range of phenomena including such things as ‘sentence final particles ’ ‘discourse adverbs’ and other related phenomena. However most research in the area (particularly within formal semantics and pragmatics) focuses on a restricted set of languages and there is little consensus on the proper formal treatment of particles partly due to the limited range of data available. In recent years there has been extensive development of the formal approach to discourse particles which often treats these words as devices for marking information update. Also important is the extension of data to non-Western languages like Japanese Korean or Chinese. These volumes are the first to give an exclusive focus on particles in non-European languages (in this case Asian languages) from the perspective of formal as well as non-formal semantics and pragmatics. These volumes include papers on Japanese Mandarin Tagalog Kimaragang Dusun Malay Singlish Thai and Vietnamese. The papers are informed by recent theoretical work in formal semantics and pragmatics relating to the meaning of particles. The collection contributes to our theoretical understanding of the meaning of discourse particles and to empirical knowledge of discourse particles in the languages of Asia. | Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform homogenous systems. However there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations interviews newspaper reports official memoranda television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between competing discourses stemming from different social positions and perspectives are illustrated. | Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

This three-volume set brings together a rich collection of primary source materials on flirtation and courtship in the nineteenth-century. Introductory essays and extensive editorial apparatus offer historical and cultural contexts of the materials included Throughout the long nineteenth-century a woman’s life was commonly thought to fall into three discrete developmental stages; personal formation and a gendered education; a young woman’s entrance onto the marriage market; and finally her emergence at the apogee of normative femininity as wife and mother. In all three stages of development there was an unspoken awareness of the duplicity at the heart of this carefully cultivated femininity. What women were taught no matter their age was that if you desired anything in life it behooved you to perform indifference. This meant that for women the art of flirtation and feigning indifference were viewed as essential survival skills that could guarantee success in life. These three volumes document the many ways in which nineteenth-century women were educated in this seemingly universal wisdom but just as frequently managed to manipulate subvert and navigate their way through such proscribed norms to achieve their own desires. Presenting a wide range of documents from novels memoirs literary journals newspapers plays poetry songs parlour games and legal documents this collection will illuminate a far more diverse set of options available to women in their quest for happiness and a new understanding of the operations of courtship and flirtation the central concerns of a nineteenth-century woman’s life. The volumes will be of interest to scholars of history literature gender and cultural studies with an interest in the nineteenth-century. | Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

How may people of faith respond wisely constructively and courageously to the challenges of a time of terror? How might religious reasons in public debate be a force for reconciliation rather than violence and hatred? In a world in which religious arguments and religious motivations play such a huge public role there is an urgent responsibility for interpreting what is happening and engaging with religious views which are commonly regarded as alien threatening or dangerous. In Apocalypse Now? Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities which include the Gulag the Holocaust 9/11 the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand not at the end of history but in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror which has striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. Moving between two times of terror - the early Centuries of Christianity and today - Forrester asks how religious motivations can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters. Reading the 'signs of the times' to try to understand what is happening in today's age of terror Forrester argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a more constructive and faithful response. We are at a turning point - this is a book which should be read. | Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror
