Variation in an English Dialect	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Cheshire Jenny Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2009	PDF, 156 страниц, 4.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
Dr Cheshire's fieldwork concentrates on phonological variation in spontaneous everyday conversation. She interviews a group of non-standard English speakers living in Reading, Berkshire. Her data provides a basis for a perceptive analysis of variation in contemporary English and of the nature and function of variation in general. She specifically focuses on morphological and syntactic variation, and thus also provides a valid description between standard English and a variety used by working-class speakers, which will interest not only linguists including sociolinguists and dialectologists, but many workers in education. Linguistic and social constraints on variation are established, and the analysis also demonstrates how speakers are able to exploit the resources of the language system to convey social meaning. The data Dr Cheshire has collected are in themselves an important contribution to the study of language in its social context, whilst the analysis has significant theoretical implications for diachronic and synchronic linguistics.

Unknown Ways: More Tales of Explorers, Pioneers and Travellers	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Reynolds E.E. Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2011	PDF, 126 страниц, 3.78 МБ 0 Оценка:
First published in 1940, E. E. Reynold's Unknown Ways is a collection of tales, intended for young readers, focusing on explorers, pioneers and travellers.

Although the writing reflects some of the cultural and ethnocentric biases of its time, this book remains an interesting example of popular educational texts for children from the first half of the twentieth century.

Unity with Diversity in the European Economy	Cambridge University Press
Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2011	PDF, 396 страниц, 11.88 МБ 0 Оценка:
The enlargement that encompassed the accession of greece in 1981 and of Spain and Portugal in 1986 significantly altered the balance of the European Community, while the double shock of EC membership and 1992 could drive the economies of the new members into depression or, equally, accelerate their modernization. This important new book from the Centre for Economic Policy Research examines theoretical issues in the integration of a diverse economic region and the combined impact of EC membership, financial integration and the single market programme on the joining countries. Christopher Bliss examines theoretical and practical obstacles facing ED-wide mechanisms to encourage investment and growth in poorer regions. Paul Krugman and Anthony Venables analyse the ambiguous effects of EC membership and of trade liberalization on output and employment in peripheral regions. Alasdair Smith studies enlargement, the single market and external trade policy in the EC's largest manufacturing sector, the car industry. William Branson examines the constraints placed on national macroeconomic policies by rapid monetary and financial integration and implications for EC-wide fiscal institutions. Paul Krugman presents a general framework for analysing the macroeconomic policy dilemmas faced by the joining countries. Louka Katseli, Jose Vinals and Jorge Braga de Macedo assess the opportunities and challenges facing the Greek, Spanish and Portuguese economics. They draw on an extensive body of work produced by three teams of researchers under their leadership. There is also an introduction by the editors and a foreword by Michael Emerson and Richard Portes.

Understanding Labor and Employment Law in China	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Ronald C. Brown Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2011	PDF, 350 страниц, 10.50 МБ 8 Оценка:
Continued economic prosperity in China and its international competitive advantage have been due in large part to the labor of workers in China, who for many years toiled in under-regulated workplaces. Now, there are labor law reforms raising the rights and standards of workers throughout China. These laws have been praised for their progressive measures and at the same time blamed for placing too many economic burdens on companies, especially those operating on the margins and those that have caused business failures. This, combined with the recent global downturn and the millions of displaced and unemployed Chinese migrant laborers, has created ongoing debate about the new labor laws. This book provides a clear overview of labor and employment law environment in China and its legal requirements, as well as practices under these laws used to deal with growing labor issues. Never has there been a time when understanding China's labor and employment laws is more important.

Underlying Representations	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Kramer Martin Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2012	PDF, 276 страниц, 8.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
At the heart of generative phonology lies the assumption that the sounds of every language have abstract underlying representations, which undergo various changes in order to generate the 'surface' representations, that is, the sounds we actually pronounce. The existence, status and form of underlying representations have been hotly debated in phonological research since the introduction of the phoneme in the nineteenth century. This book provides a comprehensive overview of theories of the mental representation of the sounds of language. How does the mind store and process phonological representations? Kramer surveys the development of the concept of underlying representation over the last 100 years or so within the field of generative phonology. He considers phonological patterns, psycho-linguistic experiments, statistical generalisations over data corpora and phenomena such as hypercorrection. The book offers a new understanding of contrastive features and proposes a modification of the optimality-theoretic approach to the generation of underlying representations.

The Two Cultures	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Snow C.P. Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2014	PDF, 179 страниц, 5.37 МБ 8 Оценка:
The notion that our society, its education system and its intellectual life, is characterised by a split between two cultures — the arts or humanities on one hand, and the sciences on the other — has a long history. But it was C. P. Snow's Rede lecture of 1959 that brought it to prominence and began a public debate that is still raging in the media today. This 50th anniversary printing of The Two Cultures and its successor piece, A Second Look (in which Snow responded to the controversy four years later) features an introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context of the debate, its implications and its afterlife. The importance of science and technology in policy run largely by non-scientists, the future for education and research, and the problem of fragmentation threatening hopes for a common culture are just some of the subjects discussed.

Transcribing the Sound of English: A Phonetics Workbook for Words and Discourse	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Tench Paul Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2011	PDF, 199 страниц, 5.97 МБ 8 Оценка:
Do you have a fear of transcription? Are you daunted by the prospect of learning and handling unfamiliar symbols? This workbook is for students who are new to linguistics and phonetics, and offers a didactic approach to the study and transcription of the words, rhythm and intonation of English. It can be used independently or in class and covers all the pronunciation details of words, phrases, rhythm and intonation. Progress is deliberately gentle with plenty of explanations, examples and 'can't go wrong' exercises. In addition, there is an associated website with audio recordings of authentic speech, which provide back-up throughout. The audio clips also introduce students to variations in accents, with eleven different speakers. Going beyond the transcription of words, the book also ventures into real discourse with the simplification systems of colloquial English speech, rhythm and intonation.

Training Foreign Language Teachers: A Reflective Approach	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Michael J. Wallace Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 1991	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
Training Foreign Language Teachers is aimed at anyone in the area of foreign language teaching who is engaged in designing, running or taking part in teacher education programmes. The book begins by examining some current models of teacher education. It goes on to describe the notion of the teacher as 'reflective practitioner' — someone who reflects on the practice of their profession as a way of developing their expertise in it. Training Foreign Language Teachers explores ways in which a reflective approach can be applied to many areas of the teacher education programme, including: — classroom observation; — microteaching; — design and assesment of teacher education programmes. The book contains many suggestions for practical work and discussion, and numerous applications to actual situations, including an extended case-study.

Theatre of the Rule of Law: Transnational Legal Intervention in Theory and Practice	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Humphreys Stephen Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2012	PDF, 332 страницы, 9.96 МБ 5 Оценка:
Theatre of the Rule of Law, first published in 2010, presents a sustained critique of global rule of law promotion — an expansive industry at the heart of international development, post-conflict reconstruction and security policy today. While successful in articulating and disseminating an effective global public policy, rule of law promotion has largely failed in its stated objectives of raising countries out of poverty and taming violent conflict. Furthermore, in its execution, this work deviates sharply from 'the rule of law' as commonly conceived. To explain this, Stephen Humphreys draws on the history of the rule of law as a concept, examples of legal export during colonial times, and a spectrum of contemporary interventions by development agencies and international organisations. Rule of law promotion is shown to be a kind of theatre, the staging of a morality tale about the good life, intended for edification and emulation, but blind to its own internal contradictions.

The Theft of History	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Goody Jack Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2012	DjVu, 352 страницы, 14.08 МБ 5 Оценка:
In The Theft of History Jack Goody builds on his own previous work to extend further his highly influential critique of what he sees as the pervasive Eurocentric or occidentalist biases of so much western historical writing, and the consequent 'theft' by the West of the achievements of other cultures in the invention of (notably) democracy, capitalism, individualism and love. Goody, one of the world's most distinguished anthropologists, raises questions about theorists, historians and methodology, and proposes a new comparative approach to cross-cultural analysis which allows for more scope in examining history than an East versus West style.

Text, Role and Context: Developing Academic Literacies	Cambridge University Press
Автор: Ann M. Johns Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 1997	PDF, 188 страниц, 5.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
This text explores fundamental issues relating to student literacies and instructor roles and practices within academic contexts. The paperback edition explores fundamental issues relating to student literacies and instructor roles and practices within academic contexts. After presenting a brief history of literacy theories, the author argues for socioliterate approaches to teaching and learning in which texts are viewed as primarily socially constructed. Central to socioliteracy are two concepts, genre and discourse community, each of which is presented in some detail. The author then argues for roles for literacy practitioners in which they and their students conduct research and are involved in joint pedagogical endeavors with faculty and students. The final chapters are devoted to outlining how the views presented can be applied to a variety of classroom texts. Core curricular design principles are outlined, and three types of portfolio-based academic literacy classrooms are described.

Regional Trade Agreements in the GATT/WTO	Cambridge University Press
Автор: James H. Mathis Издательство: Cambridge University Press, 2002	DOC, 328 страниц, 1.00 МБ 7 Оценка:
The debate over regionalism and the multilateral trading system intensifies in the WTO as dozens of regional trade agreements are declared to be exceptions to GATT's most-favoured nation obligation. Commentators debate whether such agreements are 'stepping stones' to freer world trade, and WTO Members remain unsettled on criteria to determine the compatibility of agreements with the multilateral trading system. This book addresses legal aspects of GATT Article XXIV and its 'internal' trade requirements as they define the WTO gateway for regional trade agreements.
