In one way or another, however, they all testify to an increasing awareness that even some of the most central phenomena of syntax - and the way they develop over time - are best understood by taking into account their communicative functions and the way they are processed and represented by speakers' cognitive apparatus. In doing so, they show that historical syntax, and historical linguistics in general, is witnessing a convergence between formerly distinct linguistic frameworks and traditions. With this fusion of traditions, the trend is undeniably towards a richer and more broadly informed understanding of syntactic change and the history of English. This volume will be of great interest to scholars of (English) historical syntax and historical linguistic within the cognitive-linguistic as well as the generative tradition"--Provided by publisher.Studies in language companion series ;Volume 198.0165-7763English languageSyntaxEnglish languageGrammar, HistoricalElectronic books.English languageSyntax.English languageGrammar, Historical.425/.09Cuyckens H.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466739503321Explorations in English historical syntax2097343UNINA03368nam 2200625 450 991045306600332120210515003530.00-520-95792-X10.1525/9780520957923(CKB)2550000001259708(EBL)1666291(SSID)ssj0001212853(PQKBManifestationID)11706307(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001212853(PQKBWorkID)11210795(PQKB)10692419(MiAaPQ)EBC1666291(DE-B1597)519874(OCoLC)876343009(DE-B1597)9780520957923(Au-PeEL)EBL1666291(CaPaEBR)ebr10858243(CaONFJC)MIL589040(EXLCZ)99255000000125970820140426h20142014 uy 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrSavage dreams a journey into the landscape wars of the American West /Rebecca SolnitTwentieth anniversary edition.Berkeley, California ;Los Angeles, California :University of California Press,2014.©20141 online resource (439 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-28228-0 1-306-57789-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --PREFACE TO THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION --Acknowledgments --From Hell to Breakfast --Like Moths to a Candle --April Fool's Day --Trees --Lise Meitner's Walking Shoes --Golden Hours and Iron County --Ruby Valley and the Ranch --The War --Keeping Pace with the Tortoise --The Rainbow --Spectators --Framing the View --Vanishing (Remaining) --Fire in the Garden --The Name of the Snake --Up the River of Mercy --Savage's Grave --Full Circle --Afterword to the 1999 Edition --Sources --Index"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book."-Larry McMurtryIn 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century later-in 1951-and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope.LandscapesWest (U.S.)HistoryYosemite National Park (Calif.)West (U.S.)Description and travelElectronic books.LandscapesHistory.917.8042Solnit Rebecca596398MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453066003321Savage dreams2485982UNINA
