Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Dramatic Discourse,' Vimala Herman argues that drama should be of particular interest to linguists, because of its form and dialogue, but also because its subsequent translation into performance is fertile ground for the current theories emphasizing performativity and performance in language. Each chapter contains a theoretical section in which major concepts of each framework are explained. The relevance of these frameworks to dramatic discourse are analyzed using textual examples from Shakespeare, Beckett, Osborne, and others. Herman draws on ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, discourse analysis and sociolinguistics to explore dramatic issues such as time in language, power and gender. 'Dramatic Discourse' offers new theoretical approaches which contribute to a more complete understanding of dramatic dialogue.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 'The Concise Compendium of the World's Languages' provides clear snapshots of over one hundred languages. Drawn from the more comprehensive two volume Compendium of the World's Languages, the articles selected for this volume discuss most languages spoken today by populations of at least five to ten million people, as well as minor languages that figure prominently in the contemporary socio-political context. This combination allows little-known languages, such as Akan, Navajo, Basque and Zulu, to figure prominently alongside the mainstream languages such as Arabic, French, Chinese and Russian. Each entry considers the phonological, morphological and lexical features of the language it discusses. Written for language buffs who want to know-in broad outline-how lots of languages work, this terrific book compiles loads of information in one affordable volume.George Campbell is a former BBC World Service Linguist and translator.
