This book aims to expose a panchronic outlook on motivation behind the word within the paradigm of cognitive linguistics. On the example of girl and woman used in “Dubliners”, the author emphasises the impact of culture on human conceptualisation which, in turn, can be traced in language. The results of her analysis reveal that the linguistic sign is not an arbitrary pairing of form and meaning, but rather a language unit motivated by culture. This book will be of interest to those who wish to look more closely at the relationship between language, culture and human mind. Readers interested in Joyce will also find a great dose of cultural and biographical facts related to his life as well as his vision of females as conceptualised in “Dubliners”.

The topic of the book is the relationship between mind and language on all levels of linguistic research. Over the past decade, the cognitive approach to language and its methodology have started to permeate other areas of linguistic study, which, in turn, is opening up room for new types of research and resulting in new knowledge that contributes to explaining not only the linguistic phenomena, but also how they function in a linguistic community and contemporary society. The book tries to reflect these new developments. It consists of 11 chapters organized into three thematic sections: language and mind from linguistic perspective, the language and mind of the translator, and language and mind from the teacher’s perspective.

The book investigates the effectiveness of long-term strategy training on how successfully and efficiently students listen to lectures and take notes. It is centered around a longitudinal study designed to measure to what extent a specially designed course allows 1st year undergraduate students to improve their academic skills. The research presented is grounded in theoretical perspectives on general listening comprehension, discourse processing, and teaching second language subskills. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in tertiary education and providing college and university students with courses useful in their academic performance. The readers might also gain insights into long-term research methodology of which the book gives a detailed account.

ie vorliegende Publikation geht der D Frage nach dem Bedeutungsbeitrag der Intonation in den Intonationssprachen Deutsch und Italienisch nach. Im Mittelpunkt stehen das Deutsche aus Freiburg und das Italienische aus Bergamo. Diese beiden Varietäten unterscheiden sich vom entsprechenden Standard durch die massive Verwendung einer nuklear steigend-fallenden Kontur, die als das intonatorische Merkmal von Sprechern dieser Varietäten gilt. Diese Beobachtung dient als Ausgangspunkt für eine gesprächsanalytisch ausgerichtete Untersuchung der Funktionen der Intonation in Unterhaltungsgesprächen.
