Dixon.I am a Linguist provides a fascinating account of the academic adventures of multi-faceted linguist, R.M.W. (Bob) Dixon. There is fieldwork (and lengthy grammars) on Dyirbal, Yidiñ and other Aboriginal languages of Australia, the Boumaa dialect of Fijian, and Jarawara from the dense jungles of Amazonia. Theoretical studies include adjective classes, ergativity and complement clauses. There are also detective novels, science fiction stories, and pioneering work on blues and gospel discography. Interspersed with the autobiographical narrative are explanations of how linguistics is a scientific discipline, of the development of universities, of diminishing academic standards, and of the treatment of Aboriginal people in Australia. The book is written in an easy, accessible style with numerous illustrative anecdotes. It will be an inspiration to young linguists and of interest to the general reader curious about what a scientific linguist does.LinguisticsElectronic books.Linguistics.410.92Dixon Robert M.

Four Historiographies in the Context of the Region; Bibliography; IndexBy the second half of the 1940's, newly conquered nations of Central and Eastern Europe were expected to adjust multiple professions, including those related to the historical sciences, to the Soviet model. However, Marxism, soon to become the only acceptable methodology, was no longer understood in the same way as in Bolshevik Russia. Its Soviet variation borrowed heavily from the tradition of Russian historiography and the Russian national tradition. The variations formulated in the satellite countries were also less likely to break away from existing traditions than to revise and re-evaluateWarsaw Studies in Contemporary HistoryModern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900bicsscLiterary theorybicsscLiterary studies: generalbicssc21st century history: from c 2000 -bicsscSocial & cultural historybicsscEurope, CentralHistoriographyEurope, EasternHistoriographyCentralEastEuropeGornyHistorical SciencesHistoriographyMarxismMarxist History of HistoriographyMarxist Interpretation of National HistoriesNationNational TraditionNationalismModern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900Literary theoryLiterary studies: general21st century history: from c 2000 -Social & cultural history947.0072Górny Maciej1976-907150Górny Antoni907151MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910485585703321The nation should come first2029399UNINA
