Brill Konzise und aktualisierte Ausgabe des Hebräischen
Book SynopsisDieses Wörterbuch basiert auf dem bewährten Hebräischen und Aramäischen Lexikon zum Alten Testament von Koehler & Baumgartner. Es enthält alle wesentlichen Informationen, die zum Übersetzen der Hebräischen Bibel nötig sind. Die etymologischen Angaben sind auf dem aktuellen Stand der Semitistik. __________________________________ This dictionary is based on the Hebräisches und Aramäisches Lexikon zum Alten Testament by Koehler & Baumgartner. It provides the essential material for translating the whole of the Hebrew Bible. It also includes a completely updated set of etymological entries.Trade Review"Dieses Wörterbuch basiert auf dem zwischen 1967 und 1995 erschienenen „Koehler / Baumgartner“ (HALAT), rafft aber dessen über 1800 Seiten (daher auch KAHAL). Der umfangreiche Textbestand wurde gekürzt, Fehler behoben, Verweise auf Sekundärliteratur sowie Formen und Stellenangaben, die aufgrund von Textkonjekturen erschlossen wurden bzw. nicht in der BHS belegt sind (z. B. Sir), gestrichen. Neu erarbeitet wurden die etymologischen Angaben, um den neuesten Wissensstand und eine kürzere und einheitlichere Gestaltung zu bieten. Hierbei haben sich besonders Manfried Dietrich, Viktor Golinets, Regine Hunziker-Rodewald und Dirk Schwiderski (aram.) verdient gemacht. Die Eigennamen werden nun auch in Umschrift angeführt, jedoch ohne auf die Etymologie einzugehen. Dankbar werden Suchende auf die durch Ina Willi-Plein nach den Studien von E. Jenni neu systematisierten Bearbeitungen zu den Präpositionen Beth, Kaph und Lamed zurückgreifen. Die Benutzerfreundlichkeit wurde besonders auf der Ebene des Druckbildes ungemein gesteigert. Die Seiten wirken nicht überfüllt, die gewählten Schriften (SBL Hebrew und „Brill“) sind klar, die Gliederungsebenen sind rasch und deutlich erfassbar. Zudem wurde am linken und rechten Seitenrand ein (hebr.) alphabetisches (Griff)Register mitgedruckt (wodurch auch der aramäische Teil deutlich ausgewiesen wird). Die so geschaffene hervorragende Übersichtlichkeit erleichtert ein rasches Auffinden der gesuchten Lexeme ungemein. Damit ist KAHAL ein sorgfältiges, bedacht arrangiertes und zugleich handliches Lexikon und wird somit zur wirklichen Übersetzungshilfe." – in: Theologisch-praktische Quartalschrift 162 (2014), 80 "Higher praise cannot be paid a dictionary than that it is found quite useful. And this one is. Our knowledge of the biblical languages is always advancing with new research and new lexica are always going to be needed. KAHAL is a necesary and solid addition to the family of works on Hebrew lexicography and a work which will serve many." – Jim West, Ming Hua Theological College

Brill The Eastern Old Japanese Corpus and Dictionary
Book SynopsisThis book presents for the first time all texts constituting the Eastern Old Japanese corpus as well as the dictionary including all lexical items found. Unlike its relative Western Old Japanese, Eastern Old Japanese is not based on the language of just two geographic localities, but is stretched along several provinces of Ancient Japan along the Pacific Seaboard (modern Aichi to Ibaraki) and across the island of Honshū from Etchū (Modern Toyama and parts of Ishikawa) province to Shinano and Kai provinces (modern Nagano and Yamanashi). Therefore, references to places of attestation are included into our dictionary, too.Trade Review"It is very likely that Eastern Old Japanese Corpus and Dictionary will become the conditio sine qua non for every scholar interested in the diachronic and lexical aspects of the Japanese language in general and of Eastern Old Japanese in particular." - Georg Orlandi, Silva Iaponicarum LXVII (2022)Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Abbreviations List of Charts Introduction 1 Hitachi Fudoki 2 Man’yōshū Book Fourteen 3 Structure of Book Fourteen 4 Poems in Eastern Old Japanese and in Western Old Japanese 5 Can the Poems with an Unidentified Geographical Location Be Identified? 6 Determining the Geographical Locations of Unidentified Poems on the Basis of Their Linguistic Features 7 Man’yōshū Book Sixteen 8 Man’yōshū Book Twenty 9 Poems in Eastern Old Japanese and in Western Old Japanese 10 Azuma asobi uta 11 Kokin wakashū 12 Man’yōgana Script 13 A Brief Sketch of EOJ Phonology and Morphology 14 EOJ Specific Vocabulary 15 Ainu Loans in EOJ of Book Fourteen and Twenty 16 Opotǝmǝ-nǝ Yakamǝti Criteria for Not Including Certain sakimori Poems part 1: Eastern Old Japanese Corpus 1 常陸風土記歌謡・Hitachi Fudoki Poems 2 萬葉集巻第十四・Man’yōshū Book Fourteen 1 東謌 ・ Eastern Poems 2 相聞 ・ Relationship Poems 3 譬喩歌 ・ Allegorical Poems 4 雜歌 ・ Miscellaneous Poems 5 相聞 ・ Relationship Poems 3 萬葉集巻第十六・Man’yōshū Book Sixteen 4 萬葉集巻第二十・Man’yōshū Book Twenty 5 東遊び歌・Azuma asobi uta 6 古今和歌集・Kokin wakashū part 2: Dictionary of Eastern Old Japanese Dictionary of Eastern Old Japanese Some Preliminary Notes A E Ə ᵑG I K M N O P S T U W Y ⁿZ Bibliography Index

John Benjamins Publishing Co Dizionario Combinatorio Compatto Italiano
Book SynopsisLe parole di una lingua non sono mai isolate ma si usano in combinazione e non con qualunque parola ma solo con alcune. Per parlare bene bisogna usare le combinazioni appropriate. In italiano si dice un tozzo di pane per indicare un pezzo di pane, ma si dice anche un tozzo di carne? E una discussione si solleva? O si solleva un’obiezione? Una discussione si affronta, ma un’obiezione? In italiano non si dice fare un appuntamento con qualcuno ma fissare o prendere un appuntamento. Ogni lingua preferisce combinazioni diverse e quindi è facile sbagliare quando si parla una lingua straniera. A volte però anche il parlante nativo sbaglia o non è sicuro. Questo dizionario ricostruisce l’ambiente linguistico di circa 3.000 entrate per aiutare ogni parlante a comunicare in italiano. È destinato al parlante straniero che ha una conoscenza avanzata della lingua italiana ma anche al parlante nativo che è in cerca della parola giusta. Un dizionario che si distingue dai normali dizionari monolingui e bilingui perché indica sistematicamente le combinazioni lessicali (circa 90.000), molto spesso spiegandole e/o accompagnandole con esempi per chiarirne l’uso.—Words are never used in isolation but in combination and not with any word but only with certain specific words. To use a language properly the appropriate combinations must be used. In Italian a piece of bread is a tozzo di pane, but is that the case for meat? Is a tozzo di carne an appropriate combination? If you want to make an appointment with somebody you should not say (as in English) fare un appuntamento but fissare un appuntamento. An Italian affronta una discussione (enters or tackles a discussion), but is it possible for him to say affrontare un’obiezione (to enter or tackle an objection)? Yes it is, as this dictionary shows. So every language has its own preferences in word combinations, misleading a non-native learner into making mistakes influenced by his own language.This dictionary reconstructs the frame to which 3,000 Italian entries belong and aims to help non-Italian speakers with an advanced linguistic competence to find the appropriate word combinations for communicating in Italian. Moreover, this dictionary can also be useful for native speakers who want to improve their lexical choices in writing and speaking Italian. The dictionary, contrary to ordinary monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, systematically lists word combinations (almost 90,000), explaining and/or exemplifying them.Also available: Dizionario Combinatorio Italiano, a more extensive, 2-volume hardcover edition with 6,500 entries listing over 200,000 word combinations.Table of Contents1.

Peeters Publishers Lexique Analytique De L'anatomie Humaine -
Book SynopsisLes lexiques et dictionnaires sont des ouvrages que l'on consulte a la fois par interet et par plaisir. Le present lexique anatomique trilingue inuktitut/francais/anglais ne fait pas exception a la regle. Il comble tout d'abord un manque existant dans le champ de l'anatomie inuit en rassemblant un corpus d'environ 570 termes provenant de l'Arctique oriental canadien (Nunavik et Nunavut oriental). Il permet ensuite d'aborder ce domaine lexical dans une perspective ethnolinguistique reliant les faits de langue aux choix culturels. Ce travail met ainsi en avant le caractere hautement motive de la langue inuit. Ouvrage thematique a vocation pratique, illustre de planches anatomiques, il met en evidence divers modes de designation des organes et zones du corps et contribue de la sorte a une meilleure connaissance de certaines mecanismes de conceptualisation chez les Inuit. Dictionaries are reference works: we consult them both for interest and for pleasure. This trilungual Inuktitut/French/English anatomical dictionary is no exception to this rule. It fills first and foremost a gap that exists in the field of Inuit anatomy, by bringing together a set of some 570 terms from the Canadian Eastern Arctic (Nunavik and Eastern Nunavut). It then provides an ethnolinguistic approach to this area of lexicography that links the facts of language to cultural choices. This work accordingly illustrates the highly motivated character of the Inuit language. This lexicon is dedicated to a specific theme, with practical intent and is illustrated with anatomical plates. It shows, as far as possible, various ways in which organs and areas of the body are designated and contributes thereby to an enhanced understanding of some of the conceptualization mechanisms used by the Inuit.

Book SynopsisDit woordenboek beschrijft de namen van de vloeiende waters in heel Vlaanderen. In dit eerste deel komen de namen aan bod in de provincies Antwerpen, Limburg en Vlaams-Brabant en in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest. In het tweede boekdeel worden de beide Vlaanderen hydronymisch onderzocht. Het woordenboek biedt een wetenschappelijk verantwoorde taalkundige verklaring van de Vlaamse waternamen, met opgave van de oudste vermeldingen en de betrouwbare literatuur. Ongeveer 8500 waterlopen passeren de revue en houden de herinnering aan de rijkdom van onze waternamen levendig. Voor de geïnteresseerde leek een vlot leesbaar boek, voor de wetenschappelijke onderzoeker een onontbeerlijk werkinstrument! Krachtens de wet van 7 mei 1877 werd de Atlas der Waterlopen voor elke Belgische gemeente opgesteld. Hieruit namen de samenstellers alle waternamen op voor de inventarisering en de lokalisering. Voor de beschrijving van de recente toestand maakten ze gebruik van de Vlaamse Hydrografische Atlas (VHA), versie 2014. De auteurs raadpleegden eveneens licentiaatsverhandelingen, doctorale proefschriften, monografieën over gemeenten, en historisch cartografisch materiaal. Ter illustratie staan in het boek kaarten met de verspreiding van grondwoorden en naamtypes, evenals foto's van waterlopen uit het behandelde gebied. Het alfabetische register van gemeentenamen maakt het uitgebreide materiaal vlot toegankelijk. Aan het eerste deel werkten mee: Paul Kempeneers, Karel Leenders, Vic Mennen en Bram Vannieuwenhuyze, allen leden van de Vlaamse afdeling van de Koninklijke Commissie voor Toponymie en Dialectologie.

Book SynopsisWat heeft Aalter te maken met jeneverbessen? Leefden er wolven in Wulvergem? Waar komen namen als Leuven, Ophoven of 's-Gravenwezel vandaan?
