Napoleon and the Art of Diplomacy How War and Hubris Determined the Rise and Fall of the French Empire【電子書籍】[ William Nester ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A small library could be stocked with books written about Napoleon Bonaparte the general, whose battles and campaigns have been studied extensively. Warriors, however, are not generally known for their diplomatic skills and Napoleon is no exception. After all, conquerors are accustomed to imposing rather than negotiating terms. For Napoleon, however, the arts of war and diplomacy meshed. Napoleon was often as brilliant and successful at diplomacy as he was at war, although at times he could also be as disastrous at the diplomatic table as he was on his final battlefield. William R. Nester’s Napoleon and the Art of Diplomacy is the first comprehensive exploration of Napoleon the diplomat and how his abilities in that arena shaped his military campaigns and the rise and fall of the French empire.</p> <p>Napoleon’s official diplomatic career lasted nearly two decades and involved relations with scores of kings, queens, ministers, diplomats, and secret agents across Europe and beyond. All those involved asserted their respective state (and often their private) interests across the entire span of international relations in which conflicts over trade and marriage were often inseparable from war and peace. For Napoleon, war and diplomacy were indivisible and complementary for victory. Much of Napoleon’s military success was built upon a foundation of alliances and treaties.</p> <p>Although not always at war, Napoleon incessantly practiced diplomacy on a steady stream of international issues. Some of his noteworthy achievements in this arena included his 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio with the Austrians after he defeated them in the Italian campaign; the 1807 Treaty of Tilsit, when he incorporated Tsar Alexander of Russia as his junior partner while France was still at war with Britain; and, the 1812 conference of Dresden, where the crowned heads of Europe allied with France as Napoleon opened his massive (and disastrous) invasion of Russia.</p> <p>Nester’s masterfully researched and written Napoleon and the Art of Diplomacy fills a gaping hole in Napoleonic literature by providing a vital and heretofore neglected dimension that allows readers to fully understand one of history’s most intriguing, complex, and powerful leaders.</p> <p>About the Author: Dr. William Nester is a professor in the Department of Government and Politics at St. John’s University in New York and the author of more than a score of books on a wide variety of international relations topics including The First Global War: Britain, France, and the Fate of North America, 1756-1775 and Haughty Conquerors: Amherst and the Great Indian Uprising of 1763. He has spent nearly a dozen years living overseas doing research and traveling in more than eighty countries.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,100円

MY OWN STORY (Illustrated) The Inspiring & Powerful Autobiography of the Determined Woman Who Founded the Militant WPSU "Suffragette" Movement and Fought to Win the Equal Voting Rights for All Women【電子書籍】[ Emmeline Pankhurst ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Women are very slow to rouse, but once they are aroused, once they are determined, nothing on earth and nothing in heaven will make women give way; it is impossible." Emmeline Pankhurst, born in 1858, was a British political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote. Pankhurst's militant tactics made her many admirers and foes alike. Tired of weak and non-violent demands for women enfranchisement, Pankhurst decided to attract attention of authorities by adopting arson as a method. Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women suffrage advocacy organization dedicated to "deeds, not words". Pankhurst, her daughters, and other WSPU activists received repeated prison sentences, where they staged hunger strikes to secure better conditions. Emmeline fought till the end, sacrificed comfort lifestyle and her family, risked her own life number of time. She dedicated herself to the cause completely and did everything for her ideals and beliefs in a just and equal society. Emmeline Pankhurst died in 1928, shortly before women were given full voting rights. This edition brings to you the powerful autobiography of this courageous woman in celebration of the undying spirit of freedom, equality and woman power. In 1999 Time named Pankhurst as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, stating "she shaped an idea of women for our time; she shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back". She was widely criticized for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognized as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in Britain.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

The Human Network How Your Social Position Determines Your Power, Beliefs, and Behaviors【電子書籍】[ Matthew O. Jackson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Here is a fresh, intriguing, and, above all, authoritative book about how our sometimes hidden positions in various social structuresーour human networksーshape how we think and behave, and inform our very outlook on life.</strong></p> <p>Inequality, social immobility, and political polarization are only a few crucial phenomena driven by the inevitability of social structures. Social structures determine who has power and influence, account for why people fail to assimilate basic facts, and enlarge our understanding of patterns of contagionーfrom the spread of disease to financial crises. Despite their primary role in shaping our lives, human networks are often overlooked when we try to account for our most important political and economic practices. Matthew O. Jackson brilliantly illuminates the complexity of the social networks in which we areーoften unwittinglyーpositioned and aims to facilitate a deeper appreciation of why we are who we are.</p> <p>Ranging across disciplinesーpsychology, behavioral economics, sociology, and businessーand rich with historical analogies and anecdotes, <em>The Human Network</em> provides a galvanizing account of what can drive success or failure in life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,872円

The Molecule of More How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race【電子書籍】[ Daniel Z. Lieberman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Why are we obsessed with the things we want only to be bored when we get them?</em></p> <p><em>Why is addiction perfectly logical to an addict?</em></p> <p><em>Why does love change so quickly from passion to indifference?</em></p> <p><em>Why are some people die-hard liberals and others hardcore conservatives?</em></p> <p><em>Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest timesーand so good at figuring them out?</em></p> <p>The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: <em>dopamine</em>. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideasーand progress itself.</p> <p>Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for moreーmore stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander.</p> <p>From dopamine's point of view, it's not the <em>having</em> that matters. It's getting somethingーanythingーthat's new. From this understandingーthe difference between possessing something versus anticipating itーwe can understand <em>in a revolutionary new way</em> why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religionーand we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others.</p> <p>In <em>The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativityーand will Determine the Fate of the Human Race</em>, George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and why the brains of liberals and conservatives really <em>are</em> different.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,132円

How Big Things Get Done The Surprising Factors That Determine the Fate of Every Project, from Home Renovations to Space Exploration and Everything In Between【電子書籍】[ Bent Flyvbjerg ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Why do big projects go wrong so often, and are there any lessons you can use when renovating your kitchen? Bent Flyvbjerg is the ‘megaproject’ expert and Dan Gardner brings the storytelling skills to <em>How Big Things Get Done</em>, with examples ranging from a Jimi Hendrix studio to the Sydney Opera House.”ー<em>Financial Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“Entertaining . . . There are lessons here for managers of all stripes.”ー<em>The Economist</em></strong></p> <p><strong>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: <em>Economist, Financial Times, CEO Magazine, Morningstar</em><br /> Finalist for the Porchlight Business Book Award, the <em>Financial Times</em> and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award, and the <em>Inc.</em> Non-Obvious Book Award</strong></p> <p>Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant, new reality. Think of how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to the jewel of New York’s skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.</p> <p>These are wonderful stories. But most of the time big visions turn into nightmares. Remember Boston’s “Big Dig”? Almost every sizeable city in the world has such a fiasco in its backyard. In fact, no less than 92% of megaprojects come in over budget or over schedule, or both. The cost of California’s high-speed rail project soared from $33 billion to $100 billonーand won’t even go where promised. More modest endeavors, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?</p> <p>Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, dubbed “the world’s leading megaproject expert.” In <em>How Big Things Get Done</em>, he identifies the errors in judgment and decision-making that lead projects, both big and small, to fail, and the research-based principles that will make you succeed with yours. For example:</p> <p><strong>? Understand your odds.</strong> If you don’t know them, you won’t win.<br /> <strong>? Plan slow, act fast.</strong> Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong.<br /> <strong>? Think right to left</strong>*.* Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.<br /> <strong>? Find your Lego.</strong> Big is best built from small.<br /> <strong>? Be a team maker.</strong> You won’t succeed without an “us.”<br /> <strong>? Master the unknown unknowns.</strong> Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.<br /> <strong>? Know that your biggest risk is you.</strong></p> <p>Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House, to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, to a home renovation in Brooklyn gone awry, <em>How Big Things Get Done</em> reveals how to get any ambitious project doneーon time and on budget.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,747円

Arras Hanging The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Olson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Textiles have long provided metaphors for storytelling: a compelling novel “weaves a tapestry” and we enjoy hearing someone “spin” a tale. To what extent, however, should we take these metaphors seriously? Arras Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama reveals that in the early modern period, when cloth-making was ubiquitous and high-quality tapestries called arras hangings were the most valuable objects in England, such metaphors were literal. The arras in particular provided a narrative model for writers such as Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, who exploited their audience’s familiarity with weaving to engage them in highly idiosyncratic and “hands on” ways. Specifically, undescribed or “blank” tapestries in the period’s fiction presented audiences with opportunities to “see” whatever they desired, and thus weave themselves into the story. Far more than background objects, literary and dramatic arras hangings have much to teach us about the intersections between texts and textiles at the dawn of print, and, more broadly, about the status of visual art in post-Reformation England.</p> <p>Published by University of Delaware Press.

The Origins of Victory How Disruptive Military Innovation Determines the Fates of Great Powers【電子書籍】[ Andrew F. Krepinevich ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How the character of war is changing and how militaries can successfully adapt to meet the challenge</strong></p> <p>This book by military strategist Andrew F. Krepinevich, Jr., is the definitive take on the race for military dominance in the twenty-first century. It shows how militaries that successfully pursue disruptive innovation can gain a major advantage over their rivals, while those that fail to do so risk exposing their countries to great danger.</p> <p>The Precision Warfare Revolution introduced by the U.S. military in the First Gulf War found the United States enjoying a near monopoly in this form of warfare for several decades. But now other powers have these capabilities. The U.S. military also confronts an emerging military revolution driven by advances across a wide range of technologiesーfrom artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to quantum computing and additive manufacturing.</p> <p>To stay competitive, the U.S. military must pursue disruptive innovation in a race with other militaries to exploit war’s changing character. Clues exist as to the winner’s identity. They are revealed by militaries that went beyond the bounds of mere innovation to overturn the existing forms of warfare, changing the course of history and the fate of nations. Through exploring their experiences, Krepinevich shows how the U.S. military can win the race to identify and exploit the “next big thing” in warfare.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,274円

Land Power Who Has It, Who Doesn't, and How That Determines the Fate of Societies【電子書籍】[ Michael Albertus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An award-winning political scientist shows that a society’s path to prosperity, sustainability, and equality depends on who owns the land</strong></p> <p>For millennia, land has been a symbol of wealth and privilege. But the true power of land ownership is even greater than we might think. In <em>Land Power</em>, political scientist Michael Albertus shows that who owns the land determines whether a society will be equal or unequal, whether it will develop or decline, and whether it will safeguard or sacrifice its environment.</p> <p>Modern history has been defined by land reallocation on a massive scale. From the 1500s on, European colonial powers and new nation-states shifted indigenous lands into the hands of settlers. The 1900s brought new waves of land appropriation, from Soviet and Maoist collectivization to initiatives turning large estates over to family farmers. The shuffle continues today as governments vie for power and prosperity by choosing who should get land. Drawing on a career’s worth of original research and on-the-ground fieldwork, Albertus shows that choices about who owns the land have locked in sexism, racism, and climate crisisーand that what we do with the land today can change our collective fate.</p> <p>Global in scope, <em>Land Power</em> argues that saving civilization must begin with the earth under our feet.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,030円

Disrobed How Clothing Predicts Economic Cycles, Saves Lives, and Determines the Future【電子書籍】[ Syl Tang ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>We may not often think of our clothes as having a function beyond covering our naked bodies and keeping us a little safer from the elements. But to discount the enormous influence of clothing on anything from economic cycles to the future of water scarcity is to ignore the greater meaning of the garments we put on our backs. <em>Disrobed</em> vividly considers the role that clothing plays in everything from natural disasters to climate change to terrorism to geopolitics to agribusiness. Chapter by chapter, Tang takes the reader on an unusual journey, telling stories and asking questions that most consumers have never considered about their clothing. Why do banker’s wives sell off their clothes and how does that presage a recession? How is clothing linked to ethanol and starvation on the African continent? Could RFID in clothing save the lives of millions of people in earthquakes around the world?</p> <p>This book takes an everyday item and considers it in a way that readers may not have previously thought possible. It tackles topics relevant to today, everything from fakes in the museums to farm-to-table eating, and answers questions about how we can anticipate and change our world in areas as far-reaching as the environment, politics, and the clash of civilizations occurring between countries. Much like other pop economics books have done before, the stories are easily retold in water-cooler style, allowing them to be thoughtfully considered, argued, and discussed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,401円

Determined to Believe? The Sovereignty of God, Freedom, Faith and Human【電子書籍】[ Professor John C Lennox ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Determined to Believe is written for those who are interested in or even troubled by questions about God's sovereignty and human freedom and responsibility. John Lennox writes in the spirit of helping people to get to grips with the biblical treatment of this issue for themselves. In this comprehensive review of the topic of theological determinism, Lennox seeks firstly to define the problem, looking at the concepts of freedom, the different kinds of determinism, and the moral problems these pose. He then equips the reader with biblical teaching on the topic and explores the spectrum of theological opinion on it. Following this Lennox delves deeper into the Gospels and then investigates what we can learn regarding determinism and responsibility from Paul's discussion in Romans on God's dealings with Israel. Finally Lennox tackles the issue of Christian assurance. This nuanced and detailed study challenges some of the widely held assumptions in the area of theological determinism and brings a fresh perspective to the debate.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,028円

Self-determined Learning Theory Construction, Verification, and Evaluation【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume brings together four semi-autonomous bodies of research (choice, self-determination, self-regulation, and self-management) to form a new theory of self-engaged learning entitled, Self-Determined Learning Theory. This theory explains why and how students self-engage. It identifies the factors that give students the sense of control over their learning that is needed for sustained, adaptive, and ultimately successful learning. It begins by describing the characteristics of disengaged learners, then describes and illustrates self-determined learning theory within both normal and special populations. It then examines the theory's predictive value across several special population contexts and then concludes with a critique of the theory's credibility and worth.</p> <p>Divided into three sections--theory construction, theory verification, and theory evaluation--this volume is organized using the four steps of a previous book, <em>Learning to Theorize: A Four Step Strategy.</em> Step 1 defines a problem of not understanding something as discrepancy between what is known and not known about a circumstance. Step 2 searches for information and explanations to change the condition of not knowing into a condition of knowing. Step 3 evaluates the credibility and worth of the explanation constructed in Step 2. Step 4 adjusts existing beliefs so they are consistent with the new theory.</p> <p>Although aimed primarily at leaders in special education, it should also appeal to researchers and scholars in psychology, educational psychology, and school psychology who are interested in the applications of self-regulated learning theory--in this case to special populations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,207円

Fearless and Determined Two Years Teaching in a One-Room School【電子書籍】[ Linda Hutsell-Manning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Part memoir, part creative non-fiction, Fearless and Determined, takes you back to life in rural southern Ontario in the mid 1960s. With one year’s training at Toronto Teacher’s College and no curriculum resources except a list of subjects, Linda Hutsell-Manning created and taught courses for eight grades. Built in 1860, the school had seen better days and resembled many one-room schools across Canada. With a wood stove, two pit toilets, a cold water tap, and no storm windows, many students experienced their entire elementary school education here. Linda’s memoir traverses the Kennedy assassination, the Beatles craze and small pox shots. She worked ten-hour days and made on-the-spot decisions as teacher and principal. “Circumstance gave me this opportunity; time has deemed it to be one of the most challenging and great experiences of my life,” says Linda.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 534円

You have lost one of man's abilities as a superior biological being: mental clarity. How did you come to this? Let me guess: you are tired of the flow of information hitting our brains from everywhere, or maybe your job involves mental work and you can literally feel yourself being mentally overwhelmed, or something has gone wrong in your personal life. How do you feel? Tiredness is the first thing that comes to mind. The brain is tired and this manifests itself in symptoms such as reduced concentration, memory problems and a feeling of complete confusion in your head and a certain mental disorientation, so to speak. You can't deal with your feelings, you are constantly faced with the difficult decision between "I want" and "I should/must" ...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 500円

Environmental Metal Pollutants, Reactive Oxygen Intermediaries and Genotoxicity Molecular Approaches to Determine Mechanisms of Toxicity【電子書籍】[ Maria E. Ariza ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Humans are exposed daily to low concentrations of metals that are released into the environment by both natural and industrial processes. <em>Environmental Metal Pollutants, Reactive Oxygen</em> <em>Intermediaries and Genotoxicity: Molecular Approaches to Determine</em> <em>Mechanisms of Toxicity</em> examines concerns about the acute and/or chronic exposure of humans to concentrations of these metals that are below the threshold levels established by various federal regulatory agencies. Some of these metals are accumulated in various tissues and over time this may result in the accumulation of a significant body burden. This could increase the risk of developing a variety of diseases later in life, at a time when thresholds for such effects may already be reduced by the processes of aging. Such possibilities could only further compromise the quality of life in the elderly population and could contribute to the rising cost of health care in this country.<br /> Studies that have been conducted to determine the possible risks associated with exposure to relatively non-toxic concentrations of environmental metals have been hampered by a lack of appropriate models and a lack of funding. It has also been difficult for researchers to demonstrate a correlation between the exposure of humans or animals to low concentrations of environmental pollutants and disease. This book examines recent technological advances in the areas of molecular biology, biochemistry, and computer-enhanced image analyses that provide researchers with the tools to begin elucidating the genotoxic effects of environmental metal pollutants and the mechanisms by which these metals cause DNA damage.<br /> <em>Environmental Metal Pollutants, Reactive Oxygen Intermediaries and</em> <em>Genotoxicity: Molecular Approaches to Determine Mechanisms of Toxicity</em> presents data that demonstrate that certain environmental metal pollutants are genotoxic. The authors describe the role of reactive oxygen intermediates in causing the DNA damage induced by environmental metal pollutants and discuss their possible role in human disease.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 18,231円

Monnet's Brandy and Europe's Fate A Determined Frenchman's Vision of Integration Serves as a Guide to Ending the Eurozone Crisis【電子書籍】[ Strobe Talbott, president, The Brookings Institution ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The past five years have been turbulent for the eurozone. Yet leaders such as Angela Merkel and Fran?ois Hollande are determined to keep The European Project intact, and even among one-time critics there is a broad consensus that the eurozone will have to hang together. Strobe Talbott introduces the extraordinary life and vision of Jean Monnet-the man credited as the architect of European unity. Monnet died in 1979, long before the euro went into circulation, and his relevance today is all the more striking in light of his idiosyncratic career. He was born in 1888 to a long line of brandy artisans. He had no formal training as an economist, yet he is ranked alongside Keynes. He was never elected to public office, and his fellow countrymen sometimes mocked him as the great American.” Ironically, some believed that Monnet’s arguments were particularly effective with FDR, and later speculated that they might even have helped shorten World War II by a year. In this essay, Talbott demonstrates how Monnet’s vision of integration may serve as a guide to ending the current eurozone crisis. With minds in key capitals now focused on cobbling together institutional measures of the sort that Monnet believed necessary for monetary union, his vision of a united Europe may well survive and, over time, succeed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 496円

Determiners and Quantifiers - Differences Differences【電子書籍】[ Bianca M?ller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Wuppertal, course: Hauptseminar 'Nouns and Noun Phrases', language: English, abstract: 1.Introduction Determiner and quantifier - two technical terms for two distinct word classes, or does the latter denote a subset of the former? Paying attention to the linguistic discourse does not solve these questions at once. There are numerous differing and even contradictory notions of classification possibilities concerning the entities in question. The outcome of multiple approaches is that quantifiers denote a sort of subtype of the syntactic category determiner (Crystal 1995:222, Huddleston et al. 2002:356ff, Longbardi 2001:581f, Stowell 1991:47f, Quirk et al. 1972:138f). In addition, the concept was put forward that determiner and quantifier act as functional categories within the class of pronouns (Long 1961:46ff, Radford 2004:45). Yet another opinion is held by Lyons (1999:298ff), who suggests that determiner phrases do not represent a word class, but the grammatical category of definiteness. This brief summary of possible classifications only foreshadows the numerous similarities, but at the same time the differences, of the variety to be classified. Nevertheless, the purpose of this term paper is to name and describe these differences. In order to do so, a feature-based-analysis with respect to syntactic and semantic properties of the relevant members, bearing the label determiners and quantifiers will be presented. On the basis of this outcome, a conclusion will be drawn. However, the overall expectation to classify one, or possibly two, unitary categories cannot possibly be met within the framework of this work. Before turning to the core of this term paper, some abbreviated remarks have to be made in order to set a frame for the subsequent paper.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 571円
