Taylor & Francis Russian Syntax for Advanced Students
Book SynopsisRussian Syntax for Advanced Students is a textbook which illuminates relationships between words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. Using this book, students will acquire conscious knowledge of how words function in various syntactical constructions as applied to discourse, such as specific verbal situations, based not only on the underlying linguistic phenomena, but also on the content of sociolinguistic situations. The book helps develop communicative skills for advanced mastery and constantly emphasizes the importance of accuracy in the use of syntactic structures. Russian Syntax is designed primarily as a textbook for classroom use for intermediate-high and advanced-level students. The text is also suitable for independent study by graduate students in linguistics or pedagogy, as well as being a valuable reference for instructors.Table of ContentsAbout the Book and Acknowledgments IntroductionAbbreviationsSyntax Defined Part One.

Taylor & Francis Public Health Humanities and Magical Realism
Book SynopsisThis book calls for a re-conceptualisation of the public health evidence-base to include crucial forms of creative and relational data about people's lived experiences that cannot be accessed through the biomedical approach to generating and using evidence. Drawing from the author's ethical, ontological and epistemological dilemmas when studying controversial topics, and methodological evaluation framework to measure impacts of creative community engagement, the book argues that traditional methodologies and conceptualisations of evidence have the potential to exacerbate health inequalities by excluding and misrepresenting minorities. Fantastical realities based on truthful' research findings are intertwined with traditional public health approaches through artistic engagement with so-called hard-to-reach' groups. Working with their (sur)real life stories, the author reflects on how the population's breadth is inadequately reflected which threatens validity and generalisability in publ

Taylor & Francis Rethinking Teacher Professional Development
Book SynopsisThis book presents a new set of ideas to challenge established thinking and to guide researching and designing teacher professional development. Grounded in the work of the Learning4Teaching Project which documented public-sector teachersâ experiences and learning from professional development in three countries, the volume presents a sociomaterial perspective on teacher sensemaking. This teacher-centered perspective disputes the conventional calculus in which teachers learn content that they apply in their classrooms. Part I outlines conventional issues in how teacher learning and professional development have been conceptualized and studied; Part II introduces a new group of concepts that rethink these assumptions; and Part III offers important insights to inform professional development across disciplines, cultures, and contexts.Written by a leading international teacher educator in an accessible style that incorporates visual representations and project data, the b

Taylor & Francis Ltd Symmetrizing Syntax
Book SynopsisSymmetrizing Syntax seeks to establish a minimal and natural characterization of the structure of human language (syntax), simplifying many facets of it that have been redundantly or asymmetrically formulated. Virtually all past theories of natural language syntax, from the traditional X-bar theory to the contemporary system of Merge and labeling, stipulate that every phrase structure is asymmetrically organized, so that one of its elements is always marked as primary/dominant over the others, or each and every phrase is labeled by a designated lexical element. The two authors call this traditional stipulation into question and hypothesize, instead, that linguistic derivations are essentially driven by the need to reduce asymmetry and generate symmetric structures. Various linguistic notions such as Merge, cyclic derivation by phase, feature-checking, morphological agreement, labeling, movement, and criterial freezing, as well as parametric differences among languages Table of Contents1 Symmetry of Merge: Why Only Merge? 2 Symmetry of Phases: Cyclic Transfer and Feature-Equilibrium 3 Symmetry of Agreement: Reducing Multiple Agree(ment) Mechanisms into Feature- Equilibrium 4 Symmetry of Labeling: Beyond Chomsky’s Labeling Algorithm and Universal/Unique Labeling Condition 5 Symmetry of Movement: Criteria, Freezing, and Cyclicity 6 Conclusions

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Approaches to the Psychology of Emotion
Book SynopsisThis fascinating book explores the different methodologies, resources and strategies that have been used to study emotion, and identifies emerging trends and research perspectives in the field.Emotion is a subject that has been thoroughly investigated in all fields of social and behavioural sciences. And yet the more we have attempted to individualize emotions and set limits that separate the different types of emotions, the more the subject has resisted these categorizations. Mapping the changes and diverse perspectives in the study of emotion, author Simone Belli explores how a critical psychology of emotion has emerged in order to answer this paradox, examining emotions within a social framework. Divided into five chapters, the book uses interdisciplinary critical approaches to cover everything from the interaction between emotion and language, to emotional contagion such as the spread of fear in a pandemic. There is also a particular focus on emotion analysis in digital eTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. Emotions and Language - The discursive turn 2. Emotional Affordance - The socio-material turn 3.

Taylor & Francis Childrenâs Digital Picture Books
Book SynopsisDuring the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, childrenâs media use increased (Mesce et al. 2021) while a decrease in print-book reading was observed (Nolan et al. 2022). An increase in tablet use suggests that when children were reading, it was mostly online in the form of ePub3 pdf files for illustrated works and prescribed school texts, while smartphone use was linked to apps and games. (Susilowati et al. 2021) For many years now, childrenâs publishers have experimented with digital picture-book formats but have regarded the genre as not suitable for digitisation.This book documents the findings of a one-year research project engaging the childrenâs publishing sector for feedback on reading trends and digital publishing in picture-book genres. The research assesses the plight of picture books in the current climate and considers how picture-book publishers cater to diverse readerships and new reading platforms post Covid-19 lockdowns and into the digital age.Written by an academic and editor with over 15 years industry experience, this book offers a nuanced response to childrenâs picture book publishing and reception for librarians, teachers, publishers and international scholars in the fields of publishing studies, library studies, early childhood studies, early education and childhood psychology.

Cambridge University Press Discourse and Knowledge A Sociocognitive Approach
Book SynopsisMost of our knowledge is acquired by discourse, and our ability to produce and understand discourse is impossible without the activation of massive amounts of knowledge of the world. Both ''discourse'' and ''knowledge'' are fundamental concepts of the humanities and social sciences, but they are often treated separately. Based on a theory of natural knowledge, the book deals with the cognitive processes, social distribution, cultural differences and the linguistic and discursive ''management'' of knowledge in interaction and communication in epistemic communities. The first book to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to studying the relationship between the two concepts, Discourse and Knowledge introduces the new field of epistemic discourse analysis. Using a wide range of examples to illustrate the theory, it is essential reading for both students and academics interested in epistemology, linguistics, discourse analysis, cognitive and social psychology and the social sciences.Trade Review'A real treasure for anybody interested in the intricate complexities of human knowledge.'

Cambridge University Press Women Talk More Than Men And Other Myths About
Book SynopsisDo women talk more than men? Does text messaging make you stupid? Can chimpanzees really talk to us? This fascinating textbook addresses a wide range of language myths, focusing on important big-picture issues such as the rule-governed nature of language or the influence of social factors on how we speak. Case studies and analysis of relevant experiments teach readers the skills to become informed consumers of social science research, while suggested open-ended exercises invite students to reflect further on what they've learned. With coverage of a broad range of topics (cognitive, social, historical), this textbook is ideal for non-technical survey courses in linguistics. Important points are illustrated with specific, memorable examples: invariant 'be' shows the rule-governed nature of African-American English; vulgar female speech in Papua New Guinea shows how beliefs about language and gender are culture-specific.

Cambridge University Press The Idea of Progress in Forensic Authorship
Book SynopsisThis Element examines progress in research and practice in forensic authorship analysis. It describes the existing research base and examines what makes an authorship analysis more or less reliable. Further to this, the author describes the recent history of forensic science and the scientific revolution brought about by the invention of DNA evidence. They chart the rise of three major changes in forensic science the recognition of contextual bias in analysts, the need for validation studies and shift in logic of providing identification evidence. This Element addresses the idea of progress in forensic authorship analysis in terms of these three issues with regard to new knowledge about the nature of authorship and methods in stylistics and stylometry. The author proposes that the focus needs to shift to validation of protocols for approaching case questions, rather than on validation of systems or general approaches. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.Table of ContentsSeries Preface; Prologue – the Dhiren Barot case; The idea of the Idea of Progress; Forensic authorship analysis; The idea of progress in forensic science; Progress in forensic authorship analysis; Future directions in forensic authorship analysis; Conclusions; References.
