A Globalizing World?: Culture, Economics, Politics
This volume examines contemporary globalization debates in an
accessible fashion, offering a clear guide to one of the most important
issues of our time. In so doing, it does not take one particular
stance; rather it explores the arguments and evidence. After
introducing the main theoretical positions that have been developed
through academic research, different chapters look at the changing
forms of communication and culture industries, trade patterns, and
financial flows of the world economy, characterized by inequalities as
well as opportunities for greater participation.

This book addresses fundamental issues in linguistic theory, including the relation between formal and cognitive approaches, the autonomy of syntax, the content of universal grammar, and the value of generative and functional approaches to grammar. It focuses on the grammar of case relations, signalled by morphological case, prepositions, and word order. Part I offers a critical history of modern grammars of case, focussing on the last four decades and setting this in the context of earlier, including ancient, developments.
