Through criticism of British cultural studies, New Historicism and cultural materialism, Easthope examines the discipline of cultural studies as it comes out of literary studies.
This book explores how the voices of authors and other researchers are manifested in academic discourse, and how the author handles the polyphonic interaction between these various parties. It represents a unique study of academic discourse in that it takes a doubly contrastive approach, focusing on the two factors of discipline and language at the same time. It is based on a large electronic corpus of 450 research articles from three disciplines (economics, linguistics and medicine) in three languages (English, French and Norwegian).
The International Dictionary of Artificial Intelligence is the first up-to-date reference volume on
this important, emerging discipline. Artificial intelligence is rapidly
becoming the foundation discipline for thousands of new applications in
business, science, education, engineering, and research. This important book is a must reference for all
disciplines--business, science, education, and engineering. It contains
over 2,500 entries--defined, explained, and illustrated--and detailed
discussion of major concepts as well as topics in related disciplines.
This volume is completely cross-referenced, has an annotated
bibliography and an extensive appendix of Internet sites on the latest
trends in artificial intelligence.
This is a very timely book. The author has chosen a very modern set of topics, ones that increasingly are at the heart of the field of atomic and optical physics... I am aware of no competing textbook that offers this wide selection of topics at the cutting edge of this discipline.' Chris Greene, University of Colorado, Boulder
The purpose of this book is to help scientists and students of the sciences in all disciplines to prepare manuscripts that will have a high probability of being accepted for publication and of being completely understood when they are published. Because the requirements of journals vary widely from discipline to discipline, and even within the same discipline, it is not possible to offer recommendations that are universally acceptable. In this book, I present certain basic principles that are accepted in most disciplines.
