Translation has played a central role in the publication of the Portuguese Journal of Cardiology (RPC) since 1999 when the Journal first began to be published in bilingual format. This thesis tracks and traces the role of the agents in translation in a text-oriented ethnographic study of translations published by the RPC between 2017 and 2021. It focuses specifically on the role of peer reviewers and the principal translator (Translator A). It answers two research questions: is it possible to qu
This dissertation employs a sociophonetic approach to document sound change in Asante Twi, a language spoken in Ghana. Asante Twi is one major variety of the Akan language. Traditional descriptions of Twi phonology say that [忙] is allophonically derived when /a/ occurs before advanced tongue root (i.e., [+ATR]) vowels /i, u, o/ and palatal consonants. For example, in the word /sika-ni/ 鈥榬ich person鈥�, the syllable-final /a/ is pronounced as [sik忙ni] before the [+ATR] vowel in the person suffix,

Die Positive Fremdsprachendidaktik ist ein neuer Ansatz f眉r das Lehren und Lernen von Sprachen, der es erm枚glicht, insbesondere Erkenntnisse der Positiven Psychologie f眉r einen zeitgem盲脽en Fremdsprachenunterricht nutzbar zu machen und so positive Entwicklungen in Gang zu setzen.
Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum, wie es gelingen kann, aus der aktuellen Belastungskrise herauszufinden und gute Bildungslaufbahnen mit erfolgreichem Sprachenlernen zu erm枚glichen. Denn Sprachen sind die tragende S盲ule

Dass W枚rter und zusammengesetzte sprachliche Ausdr眉cke eine w枚rtliche Bedeutung haben, ist allen Sprecher:innen einer Sprache mehr oder weniger bewusst. Doch wie l盲sst sich diese Bedeutung (unabh盲ngig vom kommunikativen Sinn) pr盲zise und genau beschreiben? Und wie ergibt sich die Bedeutung von komplexen Ausdr眉cken aus den Einzelteilen? Mit genau diesen Fragen besch盲ftigt sich die linguistische Semantik, in die dieses Buch kompakt einf眉hrt. Dabei orientiert es sich nach einer 脺bersicht 眉ber grund

2nd Call for Papers:
Human communication is a multimodal system. Research on the contribution of the visual modality - in terms of gestures - to linguistics has grown in the last years. While aspects of gesture鈥檚 meaning and function have been intensively studied, less attention has been paid to visual and kinematic features, which nevertheless form the building blocks from which multimodal utterances constitute their meaning. To fully grasp the meaning and function of gestures and gradual va

SUMMARY
This book deals with the activities of a group of nineteenth-century researchers who laid the foundations of English dialect study, giving an account of their methods, works and intellectual context. Central to the book is the claim that 鈥榯he nineteenth-century discipline of philology is the primary context in which the period鈥檚 dialect study should be placed and understood鈥� (13), and a twin thread running throughout is the rise and eventual fall in popularity of this approach.

Discourse plays a central role in the social and cultural construction of gender.
