Gothic Hauntings: Melancholy Crypts and Textual Ghosts
What is buried in the crypts of the Gothic? Building on psychoanalytic research on haunting, cryptonymy and melancholy, as well as on French philosophies of language, this book explores how haunting is not just a Gothic narrative device but the symptom of an impossibility of representation and of an irreparable loss at the heart of language.
An Outline of Second Language Acquisition Theories
The book provides a clear and concise description of current views on the theories of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Most probably an abridged publication of a doctoral dissertation. From the point of view of the student this is an ideal starting point for further library research, as the book provides a sound bibliography and is amply annotated in the main text.
A must read for anyone writing a thesis in SLA, teaching English as a FL (Foreign Language) or SL (Second Language).
Topics in Language Ressources for Translation and Localisation
Language Resources (LRs) are sets of language data and descriptions in machine readable form, such as written and spoken language corpora, terminological databases, computational lexica and dictionaries, and linguistic software tools. Over the past few decades, mainly within research environments, LRs have been specifically used to create, optimise or evaluate natural language processing (NLP) and human language technologies (HLT) applications, including translation-related technologies.
