A Practical Course in Terminology Processing
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Since the advent of the computer, terminology management can be carried out by almost anyone who has learnt to use a computer. Terminology management has proved to be an efficient tool in international communications in industry, education and international organisations. Software packages are readily available and international corporations often have their own terminology database. Following these developments, translators and terminologists are confronted with a specialised form of information management involving compilation and standardisation of vocabulary, storage, retrieval and updating.<i>A Practical Course in Terminology Processing</i> provides the key to methods of terminology management for the English language, for general and specific purposes. This unique course has been developed on the basis of years of teaching experience and research at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST, UK) and is particularly suitable for translation courses, freelance translators, technical writers, as well as for non-linguists who are confronted with terminology processing as part of their profession.<br />The 1996 reprint of the paperback edition includes an index.

Das Problem des Unendlichen im ausgehenden 14. Jahrhundert
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The focus of this book is on the theory of infinity in Lawrence of Lindores’ commentary on Aristotle’s “Physics”. Written shortly before 1400, Lindores’ text played an important role in disseminating the natural philosophy of John Buridan and his disciples in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. In the first part of this book, Lindores’ concept of science is discussed and a detailed analysis of his treatment of infinity and related topics (continuity, the eternity of the world) is given. Subsequently an assessment of his ideas from the point of view of modern mathematics is attempted and some interesting similarities between medieval theories of infinity and recent developments in mathematics are outlined. The second part contains the relevant questions from Lindores’ commentary (book I, qu. 1-5, 10; book III, qu. 13-18; book VI, qu. 9-10; book VIII, qu. 3), which are presented here for the first time in a critical edition based on all seven manuscripts of the text.<br />Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Theorie des Unendlichen in dem kurz vor 1400 verfaßten Kommentar des Lorenz von Lindores zur „Physik" des Aristoteles, der im 15. Jh. eine wichtige Rolle spielte bei der Verbreitung der Naturphilosophie Johannes Buridans und seiner Schüler. Im ersten Teil des Buches wird die Wissenschaftstheorie Lindores’ in ihren Grundzügen dargestellt, danach werden seine Ausführungen zum Unendlichen und zu damit zusammenhängenden Themen (Struktur des Kontinuums, Ewigkeit der Welt) detailliert analysiert. Abschließend wird eine Bewertung dieser Theorien aus der Sicht der modernen Mathematik versucht, wobei sich bemerkenswerte Ähnlichkeiten zwischen mittelalterlichen Theorien des Unendlichen und neueren Entwicklungen in der Mathematik zeigen. Der zweite Teil bietet erstmals eine kritische Edition aller einschlägigen Quaestionen aus Lindores’ Physikkommentar (Buch I, qu. 1-5, 10; Buch III, qu. 13-18; Buch VI, qu. 9-10; Buch VIII, qu. 3) auf der Basis aller sieben Handschriften des Textes.

Die Philosophie in ihren Disziplinen
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The disciplines of philosophy make up its methodological and thematic branches of study; they reflect its self-understanding as a science according to both its basic tasks and its different approaches to them. The contributions to this anthology, arranged according to the main disciplines of philosophy, were originally presented in a special lecture series at the Department of Philosophy of the Ruhr-University Bochum, geared towards providing students with a much-needed provisional orientation in the field. The essays included in this volume combine this introductory systematic character with careful historical scholarship. Topics treated include aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, logic, metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, philosophical pedagogy, philosophy of language, philosophy of nature, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, and the theory of the human sciences. This volume should appeal to students and teachers of philosophy as well as to all those interested in a historically grounded systematic introduction to philosophical thinking.<br />Die Disziplinen der Philosophie bilden die Teilbereiche, in die sie sich sowohl methodisch als auch gegenstandsbezogen gliedern läßt; sie bezeugen das Selbstverständnis dieser Wissenschaft nach Aufgabe und Vorgehensweise. Die Beiträge zum vorliegenden Band gehen auf eine Ringvorlesung zurück, die am Institut für Philosophie der Ruhr-Universität Bochum gehalten wurde. Diese hat den Studierenden zur Einführung in die Philosophie gedient und damit einem elementaren Wunsch nach einer — wenn auch nur provisorisch — wegweisenden Orientierung im Fach entsprochen. Somit werden die Teilbereiche Ästhetik, Erkenntnistheorie, Ethik, Logik, Metaphysik, Naturphilosophie, Rechts- und Staatsphilosophie, Philosophiedidaktik, Philosophische Anthropologie, Religionsphilosophie, Sprachphilosophie und Theorie der Geisteswissenschaften im vorliegenden Band vorgestellt. Der Band ist für Studenten sowie Philosophielehrer vom Interesse, ferner für alle, die sich eine historische sowie systematische Einführung in philosophisches Denken wünschen.

La Parodia en la nueva novela hispanoamericana (1960–1985)
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- In this brilliant overview of parodic praxis in the Spanish-American novel during the years 1960-1985, Elzbieta Skłodowska examines several aspects of parody: its role in the renovation of anachronistic forms of discourse (mock-epic) and the re-writing of the canon of the historical novel; its function in transgressing literary formulas (detective novel); its subversive quality in the counter-discourse of women writers; and the relation between parody, satire, irony, humor, and metafiction. This sound analysis of some twenty-five novels, carefully illustrated by works little treated in critical discourse, takes as its theoretical basis the works of the Russian Formalists and Linda Hutcheon's theory of parody.

Les Périphrases Verbales
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This comprehensive volume contains twenty-six out of thirty three papers that were presented at the International Conference on "Les Périphrases Verbales". The conference took place at the University of Caen-Basse-Normandie from June 25th to June 28th 2003, and was co-organized by the Crisco umr cnrs research group and the French Department at Tel Aviv University, Israel. The contributors to this volume aim to present a broad spectrum of theoretical approaches to the analysis of constructions entitled "périphrases verbales". Their work revolves around three central themes: the definition of these constructions and the distinction between certain verbal expressions and true periphrastic expressions; a particular meaning or function of these expressions; and specific nominal constructions considered as periphrastic expressions. The volume is divided into seven sections, each throwing light on a particular aspect of periphrastic expression from various perspectives. The issues discussed are: temporal and aspectual periphrases; auxiliaries, copula, and support verbs; causative periphrases; <i>venire </i>and <i>aller </i>+ infinitive / participle; inchoative periphrases; modal periphrases; and the heritage of Gustave Guillaume.
