Sommario/riassunto

The international development community invests billions of dollars to improve organisational capacity. But real-life practice is poorly understood and undervalued as a distinct professional domain. Written by practitioners, this innovative publication is designed to make capacity development more professional and increasingly effective in achieving development goals.Accountability and LearningAdvisers' Roles Capacity Development Market?DialogueEngaging with Community Based OrganizationsInstitutions, Power and Politics Knowledge Networking Leadership Development Measuring Capacity DevelopmentMicro-Macro Gap Multiple DimensionsMultiple Actors Multiple LevelsOrganizational Development as a SourceOwnership, Authority and ConflictPart I: Perspectives on CapacityPart II: Establishing Your Practice                                                                Part III: Working with Connections     Part IV: Improving on Results      Part V: Looking Ahead     Practical illustrations draw on experiences from the civic, government and private sectors. A central theme is to understand capacity as more than something internal to organisations. This book shows how capacity also stems from connections between different types of actor and the levels in society at which they operate.

A Birth of Linguistics -- The Chomskyan Approach: A Turn in Linguistics -- Epi-Formal Analysis. A Theory on Syntax -- Deviational Syntactic Structures -- Conclusions and Perspectives.

Sommario/riassunto

"Taking as a point of departure ideas and principles from the 18th and 19th century Danish tradition, and from 20th century traditions of the Copenhagen School of linguistics, this book attempts to set up a formal theory of syntax that addresses some of the weak points of other formal grammars, notably Chomskyan grammar. After introductions to the ideas of Brøndal, Hjelmslev and Diderichsen, Götzsche lays the philosophical and theoretical foundations of his formalism, based on a theory of universal pragmatics and on the invention of a special kind of formal logic called 'occurrence logic', and elaborates this formal system in detail. In order to justify the adequacy of the theory, the theoretical apparatus is applied to the general structures of Danish and Swedish and illustrated by linguistic material from these languages. Furthermore, the ambition is to propose solutions to traditional



problems concerning more inferior grammatical categories like prepositions, infinitive markers and particles. The concluding chapter of the book presents some ideas about how the formal system can be transformed into a model of the cognitive mechanism that handles syntax. This book will be of interest to linguists, philosophers and scholars in theoretical linguistics and in Modern Languages."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
