Quantitative Methods in Cognitive Semantics: Corpus-Driven Approaches

In line with the increasing use of empirical methods in Cognitive Linguistics, the current volume explores the uses of quantitative, in particular corpus-driven, techniques for the study of meaning. It shows how these techniques contribute to the core theoretical issues of Cognitive Semantics as well as how they inform semantic analysis. The research presented in the volume constitutes an important step towards an Empirical Cognitive Semantics.

The Empirical Turn Cognitive linguistics currently experiences a trend towards
the use of empirical methods; it can be observed that conferences fill up
increasingly with empirical studies supporting and extending the conceptual work
in Cognitive Linguistics. At the same time, several volumes with the explicit aim to
lay the foundations for empirical investigations have recently appeared (e.g.
Gries and Stefanowitsch 2006; Kristiansen, Achard, Dirven and Ruiz de Mendoza

Approaches to World Literature

The present volume introduces new considerations on the topic of “World Literature”. The essays revolve around the question of what, specifically in today's rapidly globalizing world, may be the productive implications of the concept of World Literature, which was first developed in the 18th century and then elaborated on by Goethe.

The present volume introduces new considerations on the topic of "World Literature", penned by leading representatives of the discipline from the United States, India, Japan, the Middle East, England, France and Germany.

Ibn Taimiya's Struggle Against Popular Religion

With an Annotated Translation of His Kitab iqtida as-sirat al-mustaqim mukhalafat ashab al-jahim

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems – both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Das Kapital der Aktiengesellschaft in Europa

Very different systems for corporations have always existed in Europe. These differences relate not only to the management structure of the corporations, with single or dual systems for management bodies, but also to the principles of permanent capital. Before this background, a group of German scholars and practitioners of corporate law converged in order to investigate the sense and benefits of permanent capital and its individual elements quite broadly. Aside from a summary of the results, a total of 15 individual investigations of aspects of capital in Germany and their relationships to adjacent legal areas (accounting and insolvency, for example) are in the present volume.

Language History and Linguistic Modelling: Language history

This work presents a collection of some 130 contributions covering a wide range of topics of interest to historical, theoretical and applied linguistics alike. A major theme is the development of English which is examined on several levels in the light of recent linguistic theory in various papers. The geographical dimension is also treated extensively with papers on controversial aspects of a variety of studies, as are topical linguistic matters from a more general perspective.

Language. imperialism. Arthur. van. Essen. 1. Introduction. Europe has just
emerged from an era during which two great ideologies confronted each other:
that of Capitalism and that of Communism. Capitalism was (and is) often accused
of Imperialism, but if we define 'imperialism' as the kind of relationship between
nations whereby one nation dominates another, it is easy to see that not only
Capitalism is guilty of that crime and that imperialism is likely to be as old as
history itself.

Geld und Kredit

Einführung in die Geldtheorie und Geldpolitik

Dieses Buch soll in die Geldtheorie und daraus abgeleitete Konsequenzen für die Geldpolitik einführen; theoretische, politische sowie institutionelle Aspekte werden dabei verknüpft. Nach einem knappen Überblick über die historische Entwicklung des Geldwesens sowie die Funktionen des Geldes und des Kredites wird auf das Angebot von Geld und Kredit, die Geldnachfrage und schließlich in einer gesamtwirtschaftlichen Analyse auf das Zusammenwirken von Geldangebot und Geldnachfrage eingegangen. Es werden auch fiskalpolitische und außenwirtschaftliche Aspekte berücksichtigt. Das Schwergewicht liegt dabei auf dem Vergleich zwischen der postkeynesianischen und monetaristischen Position, den beiden Hauptrichtungen in der Entwicklung der monetären Theorie und Politik. Im Anschluss daran werden darauf aufbauend Ansätze für die Geldpolitik, deren Träger und Institutionen sowie die geldpolitischen Instrumente vorgestellt. Die achte Auflage ist inzwischen vollständig auf die Geldpolitik des Europäischen Systems der Zentralbanken ESZB ausgerichtet. Die Geldpolitik der Deutschen Bundesbank erscheint nur noch zur Abrundung geldpolitischer Entwicklungen. Alle empirischen Belege wurden auf den neuesten Stand gebracht und sind durch europäische Daten unterlegt. Aus dem Inhalt: Entwicklung des Geldwesens. Wesen und Bedeutung von Geld und Kredit. Das Angebot an Geld und Kredit. Die Geldnachfrage. Gesamtwirtschaftliche Analyse und Transmissionsmechanismen. Inflation. Ansatzpunkte und Instrumente der Geldpolitik. Träger von Institutionen der Geldpolitik. Künftige Herausforderungen der Geldpolitik.

Writing Science

Medical and Mathematical Authorship in Ancient Greece

Scientific and technological texts have not played a significant role in modern literary criticism. This collection, focusing mostly on medical and mathematical texts from ancient Greece, aims at approaching ancient Greek science from the cross-disciplinary perspective of authorship. Among the questions addressed are: How does scientific writing differ from ‘literary’ writing? In what ways does the author present himself as an authoritative figure? In addition to offering a new approach to this vast area of ancient literature, this collection reflects on the forms of scientific and scholarly communication current today.

Indeed, it is certainly a familiar enough ploy from satirical genres for writers to
offer ironic disclaimers about questionable rhetorical strategies they may adopt,
and then turn them against their targets, and there is plenty in Galen that one can
