This book is based on the research of verbal prefixes in Slavic languages and Germanic particles carried out at Tromsø University under supervision of Peter Svenonius. It offers a comparative analysis of the syntactic behavior of English particles and Russian prefixes in prepositional phrases. It concludes that these elements exhibit a lot of similarities and occupy the same position in the syntactic structure. Apart from studying particles and prefixes, this work also provides a thorough analysis of prepositions cross-linguistically, focusing mainly on Russian and English.
Вот, ведь, же, как бы. Эти слова мы, не задумываясь, употребляем много раз каждый день. Не смотря на свой маленький размер, они несут в себе большой смысл и придают особый колорит русской речи. Разобраться в их многочисленных значениях, а так же возможностях передачи этих значений в английском языке и помогает эта книга.
Particle Physics for Non-Physicists - A Tour of the Micro-cosmos
Would you like to know how the universe works? The science that has found many of the answers to that profound and age-old question is particle physics: the study of those impossibly tiny particles with unbelievably strange names: bosons and leptons, quarks and neutrinos. 12 lectures of 30 minutes - 165 mb - mp3
Particles move faster as matter heats up, and they slow down as matter cools. Thermal energy is the energy made by the movement of the particles in the matter. We feel the movement of thermal energy as heat.
There are few aspects of language which are more problematic than its discourse particles. The present study of discourse particles draws upon data from the London-Lund Corpus to show how the methods and tools of corpora can sharpen their description. The first part of the book provides a picture of the state of the art in discourse particle studies and introduces the theory and methodology for the analysis in the second part of the book.
