Проблемы художественного времени и пространства, их связь и взаимозависимость с категорией грамматического времени десятилетиями занимают ученых разных направлений. За последние годы изучение художественного времени оказалось увязанным с изучением концепции возможного мира, то есть некоторого состояния дел, возможного в одном из миров, представляющих альтернативу актуальному миру. Это мир, достижимый из реального мира автора, но он может быть населен вымышленными персонажами, а главное, он существует в художественном времени и пространстве. В книге анализируются такие особенности художественного времени, как обратимость, контрфактичность, многомерность и др.
Introductions to Applied Linguistics consists of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, designed for those entering postgraduate studies and language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative "practice to theory" approach, with a ‘back to front’ structure which takes the reader from real life problems and issues in the field, then enters into a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns. The final section concludes by tying the practical issues to theoretical foundations.
