Sommario/riassunto

"This professional book (in the Higher Education Leadership Essentials series) encourages presidents of small liberal schools to consider new approaches to working with their boards and offers ideas to trustees about how they can elicit new thinking from their institution's president without interfering in internal operations. Combining theory with case studies, the book is aimed at administrators at colleges (whose boards may include alumni or community members) with operations and interests different from those of university administrators"--

Sommario/riassunto

Each of the contributions in this volume expresses in some way the hope that it is possible to achieve an integrity of linguistics, understood as a science of man, in its psychological, sociological, pragmatic and cultural context. The first section focuses on the history of language study, the second section on the integrative description of facets of language, and the last section on the need for the study of language in context.
