Although it is mostly used in spoken discourse, its usage is not restricted to speech but expands to the written word as for example in newspapers or scholarly journals. This stems from the fact that this kind of genre quickly picks up new trends. However, while -wise has been accepted in the adverbial sense, `-wise` as a suffix for new words with the meaning `with regard to` is criticized. ····· 1017675634

To lose the ability to understand and produce language may be a major catastrophe for children and has enormous consequences for their whole life, even if speech is regained after some time.2 Therefore, it is astonishing how little is known about the subject and how controversially it is discussed in literature. This paper introduces into acquired childhood aphasia with focus on a syndrome called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, in which aphasia and epilepsy are combined. Landau-Kleffner Syndrome will be discussed in regard to symptoms, aetiology, therapy and prognosis. Moreover, it will be compared to other forms of acquired childhood aphasia. ····· 1017675621

Jahrhunderts gilt heute vielfach als der `verlorene Kontinent` der viktorianischen Epoche. Der größte Teil der zeitgenössischen Veröffentlichungen ist längst in Vergessenheit geraten, nur einige wenige herausragende Klassiker sind heute noch einem breiteren Publikum bekannt.In dieser Veröffentlichung behandelt der Autor ein großes Textrepertoire des viktorianischen Romans und beschäftigt sich mit vielen Einzelwerken und den wichtigsten Autoren, aber auch mit jenen Texten, die erst in jüngster Vergangenheit wieder zugänglich gemacht worden sind. Durch einen kulturwissenschaftlich orientierten Überblick macht er die historischen Entstehungsbedingungen einzelner Werke sichtbar. Die Interpretation bekannter Werke von Jane Austen und Mary Shelley über Charles Dickens und Henry James bis hin zu Oscar Wilde, aber auch die Analyse einiger zu Unrecht vernachlässigter Romane ergänzen sich dabei zu einer umfassenden Geschichte des englischen Romans im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Gesamtdarstellung wendet sich insbesondere an Studenten der Anglistik, die sich in der begleitenden Lektüre zu Seminaren oder zur Vorbereitung von Prüfungen ein solides Grundlagenwissen über die Entwicklung und den Wandel des Romans im viktorianischen Zeitalter aneignen wollen. ····· 1017675076
für 22.88€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Gender criticism has recently been applied to a wide range of ancient and modern literature such an approach can reveal many previously unrecognized attitudes among earlier writers. Chaucer has long been recognized as a writer with psychological sensitivities. This book attempts to show that Chaucer has demonstrated his sensitivities on gender issues by recognizing and revising many of the gender stereotypes familiar from his time. It is likely that he was influenced in these ideas by an early feminist writer from France, Christine de Pizan, who complained about the Romance of the Rose as an embodiment of gender stereotyping. Chaucer`s later works particularly show an awareness of gender issues that has not been entirely recognized and which is at variance with ideas in the Romance , which he had translated into English during his youthful period. ····· 101769175

für 29.42€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Document from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: What is `queer drama` Since when have there been representations of queerness in British drama Can we speak of queerness avant la lettre, and if so, what did it look like How did queer representations in British theatre change throughout the twentieth century What influence did stage censorship have on representations of queerness What happened before the sudden eruption of queer drama after the abolition of stage censorship, and by which means could the legal taboo on queerness be circumvented How did queer representations in the theatre influence notions of queerness in society and vice versa These are some of the leading questions this book addresses. Does this book have anything to offer you Are you gay, lesbian, or heterosexual Are you a trans-, a-, bi-, non-sexual being Or are you insecure of who you are Really, it does not matter very much. You are the potential reader of this book, and if you decide to go on reading you will read things that may prove of significance to you. Because you`re human. You are a human being who can, potentially, fall in love, aren`t you If you are, this book concerns you. Taking the beginning of the twentieth century as the starting point for discussion, this book aims at exploring representations of queerness in British drama before the abolition of theatre censorship in 1968 and at demonstrating that queerness did not merely appear in the margins of pre-1960s British theatre, but that it can be detected in its very centre, namely in many of the most popular and most successful plays of their time. To achieve this aim, a selection of plays by three eminent male playwrights writing within the British cultural and socio-political context of the first half of the twentieth century will be analysed. The focus will predominantly be on plays by William S. Maugham (1874-1965), Noël Coward (1899-1973), and Terence Rattigan (1911-1977), all of whom were extremely popular and commercially highly successful at their time. Finally, this book aims at developing and testing a cognitive model of queer reading and writing strategies which is intended to enable us to account for this seeming paradox concerning queerness in British drama before 1968, namely the paradox that British drama is full of `queer plays` in spite of the taboo on representing queerness: the model of the `default reader` as it is outlined in the theory part of this book and applied in the (queer) readings of plays. Now, let`s get queer. ····· 1017674278

One of these areas is authorship attribution studies. Authorship attribution is a domain of a study concerned with identifying the most likely author of a particular anonymous or disputed document from a set of suspected authors. To this end, several methodologies, techniques, and approaches have been devised and so often assessed on various sets of data to make sure of their effectiveness. Although the literature shows no consensus as to which methodology is the best among others, there is an overwhelming fact that all authorship attribution studies are grounded on the assumption that each author has a particular `linguistic fingerprint` which can be captured through detecting and measuring the linguistic clues hidden in their authorial styles. Taking an experimental framework, this study is an attempt to gauge the discriminating and clustering power of the selected methodology against a particular type of data covering samples of political journal articles. The corpus compiled is a special purpose one strictly controlled for genre, register, and date of publication. It comprises eleven samples extracted from eleven articles with their lengths ranging between (1,101) to (1,113) words long three ones are taken as test (hypothetically questioned) samples and the rest as training samples. The corpus represents the journalistic writings of four authors. ····· 1017650059

····· lezzter Preis 56.89€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The Fragmented Female Body and Identity explores the symbol of the wounded and scarred female body in selected postmodern, multiethnic American women`s novels, namely Toni Morrison`s Beloved, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha`s Dictée, Phyllis Alesia Perry`s Stigmata, Gayl Jones`s Corregidora, Emma Pérez`s Gulf Dreams, Paula Gunn Allen`s The Woman Who Owned the Shadows, and Kathy Acker`s Blood and Guts in High School and Empire of the Senseless. In each of these novels, disjointed, postmodern writing reflects the novel`s focus on fragmented female bodies. The wounded and scarred body emerges from various, often intersecting, forms of oppression, including patriarchy, racism, and heteronormativity. This book emphasizes the different and nuanced forms of oppression each woman faces. However, while the fragmented body symbolizes oppression and pain, it also catalyzes resistance through recognition. When female characters recognize some element of a shared oppression, they form bonds with one another. These feminist unities, as a response to multiple forms of oppression, become viable means for resistance and healing. ····· 1017668985
für 62.80€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book examines how concepts of citizenship have been negotiated in Anglophone Canadian literature since the 1970s. Katja Sarkowsky argues that literary texts conceptualize citizenship as political `co-actorship` and as cultural `co-authorship` (Boele van Hensbroek), using citizenship as a metaphor of ambivalent affiliations within and beyond Canada. In its exploration of urban, indigenous, environmental, and diasporic citizenship as well as of citizenship`s growing entanglement with questions of human rights, Canadian literature reflects and feeds into the term`s conceptual diversification. Exploring the works of Guillermo Verdecchia, Joy Kogawa, Jeannette Armstrong, Maria Campbell, Cheryl Foggo, Fred Wah, Michael Ondaatje, and Dionne Brand, this text investigates how citizenship functions to denote emplaced practices of participation in multiple collectives that are not restricted to the framework of the nation-state. ····· 101763078
