Sommario/riassunto

This book is about what the 'lack' of agreement indicates about the structure of language. Rather than assuming that mistakes occur in languages, disagreement can be seen as an indication of a certain structural relationship. In a Minimalist framework, the partial agreement or complete lack of agreement is determined by when checking of case and agreement takes place and with what nominal element. Earlier work has shown that there may be variation regarding the number of functional categories a language activates. If that account is correct, languages with fewer functional categories (Dutch and Old English) will also have fewer specifiers and therefore less Spec-Head agreement. In these cases, government will play a role in the checking of case and agreement. There are, however, other reasons for



the 'breakdown'. For instance, expletives play a major role and they may only be specified for some features (number or person) and when they agree with the verb, the 'real' subject does not. Two additional reasons are discussed: the impact from grammaticalization and from asymmetrical (e.g. coordinate) structures. The focus is on Modern, Old and Middle English and Dutch, but other Germanic languages (German, Swedish, Yiddish), Romance languages (Catalan, French, Italian, Spanish), Arabic, Chamorro, Hebrew, Hopi, Kirundi, O'odham, Navajo, and Urdu/Hindi are discussed as well.

Sommario/riassunto

This book critically explores the European Union's brand of peacebuilding in the form of its Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). A contextually close reading of EU missions - using the fluid categories of telling and acting, stressing the dialogical ways of being, and taking heed of the concept of just peace as a particular guide to building peace - allows the book to tap into the specific meanings the EU has of peace, the ways in which it imagines its relationships with its varied partners, and perhaps most controversially, the way that being/becoming a global actor has been front and center of the CSDP. The analysis focuses on three core missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo. One of the recurring themes that emerges from the empirical chapters is the significance attached to acting, and that acting per se constitutes success of a mission, without much thought given to its substance, or the outcome of the EU's engagement. Theimaginative force of this book rests on developing a set of context-sensitive analytical tools, encapsulated in the dialogical model of identity formation and the dynamic approach to analysing identity through telling and acting. Birgit Poopuu is Research Fellow at the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, Wales. She previously studied at the University of Tartu, has published on the EU's peacebuilding and is currently working on the project The Politics of Peace and Conflict Knowledge: Syria and the Diverse Landscape of Local Knowledge/Experience.

Sommario/riassunto

This atlas composes of original contributions of characteristic cases of small intestinal diseases. The typical small intestinal diseases related cases are discussed in this book. Each case in the atlas is introduced with relevant clinical history and exemplified with educatory endoscopy images. With abundant illustrations, this atlas provides valuable information learned from the diagnoses and treatments of the patients with small intestinal diseases. It also introduces the advances of the latest medical technologies in small intestinal medicine, such as capsule endoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, and single-balloon enteroscopy. Small intestinal medicine is an emerging, fascinating and important discipline in gastroenterology. This Atlas can serve as a useful and educational guide to young doctors and a refreshing reference book to educators in this field, and hence promoting better clinical care for their patients.
