Variation and Gradience in Phonetics and Phonology
This book brings together researchers from sociolinguistics, phonetics, and phonology and provides an overview of current issues in variation and gradience in phonetics and phonology. In this book, variation at every level of phonological representation is addressed. It contributes to the growing interest in gradience and variation in theoretical phonology by combining research on the factors underlying variability and systematic quantitative results with theoretical phonological considerations.
An eclectic collection of studies ranging through nineteenth and twentieth-century literature, performance, music and film and provoking theoretical and critical reflections. This eclectic collection interrogates boundaries with reference to nineteenth and twentieth-century literature, performance, music and film from a diverse range of critical and theoretical perspectives.
This book, a classic in its field, has been thoroughly revised to include new sections on neurotransmitters, environmentally induced biological components of behavior, impulsiveness and crime, neighborhoods as causes of crime, situational contexts of crime, the decline and resurgence of stain theories, and control-ology. It examines postmodern criminology and feminist criminology, and includes two new chapters, one on developmental criminology, the other on integrated theories.
A GLOSSARY OF POLITICAL THEORY This work assumes that politics cannot be studied without theory. All our statements about parties, movements, states and relationships between them presuppose theoretical views, so that political theory is an integral part of the study of politics. This series introduces key terms within the core subject areas of politics.
In this book, leading researchers in morphology, syntax, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics address central questions about the form and acquisition of analogy in grammar. What kinds of patterns do speakers select as the basis for analogical extension? What formal mechanisms are appropriate for modelling analogy?
The novel synthesis of typological, theoretical, computational, and developmental paradigms in this volume brings us closer to answering these questions than ever before.
