Websters Macedonian - English Thesaurus DictionaryIf you are learning Macedonian, this book was not created for you, and you should not purchase it. It was created for completely fluent mother-tongue speakers of Macedonian who already know the full meaning of Macedonian words, but who need to learn how a single English translation of a Macedonian word may have ambiguous meanings in the English language.

Co-Compounds and Natural Coordination (Studies in Typology and Linguistic Theory)
29
 
 
Co-Compounds and Natural Coordination (Oxford Studies in Typology and Linguistic Theory)This book presents a typological survey and analysis of the co-compound construction. This understudied phenomenon is essentially a compound whose meaning is the result of coordinating the meanings of its components, as when in some varieties of English 'mother-father' denotes 'parents'. In the course of the work Dr Walchi examines and discusses topics of great theoretical and linguistic interest. These include the notion of word, markedness, the syntax and semantics of coordination, grammaticalization, lexical semantics, the distinction between compounding and phrase formation, and the constructional meanings languages can deploy. The book makes many observations and points about typology and areal features and includes a wealth of unfamiliar data. It will be invaluable for typologists and of considerable interest to a variety of specialists including lexicologists, morphologists, construction grammarians, cognitive linguists, semanticists, field linguists, and syntacticians.

Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics

Introduction to Systemic Functional LinguisticsProduct Description:

New edition of a best-selling iintroduction to systemic functional linguistics explores the social semiotic approach to language most closely associated with the work of Michael Halliday and his colleagues. An approach which views language as a strategic, meaning-making resource, systemic linguistics focuses on the analysis of authentic, everyday texts, and asks both how people use language to make meanings, and how language itself is organised to enable those meanings to be made.
