Facsimile Reproduction. -- Glossary Catalan - English -- References -- Index.The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels hòmens , a late fifteenth-century Catalan incunable, draws on a rich tradition of astrological magic, geomancy, Pythagorean numerology, and Hebrew gematria. This practical manual offers a method of determining the birth sign based on calculations performed on the subject's name and his or her mother's name. The critical edition includes a literary, historical, and linguistic study; an English translation; and a Catalan-English glossary. The Tractat reveals Catalan sources for prognostication, a unique expression of medieval syncretism, the mingling of traditions, and the development of new ideas. It is a rare find for Hispanists and others interested in astrology, magic, the history of science, and early print culture.Medieval and early modern Iberian world ;18.The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels hòmensAstrologyEarly works to 1800Civilization, MedievalNumerologyEarly works to 1800NumerologySpainCataloniaCatalonia (Spain)Intellectual lifeAstrologyCivilization, Medieval.NumerologyNumerology133.5Lucas John Scott1504421NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910783207103321Astrology and Numerology in Medieval and Early Modern Catalonia3733418UNINA04672nam 22006495 450 991086311550332120240619145212.0981-15-6430-210.1007/978-981-15-6430-7(CKB)4100000011409351(MiAaPQ)EBC6326316(DE-He213)978-981-15-6430-7(PPN)253582121(EXLCZ)99410000001140935120200831d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDynamics of Language Changes Looking Within and Across Languages /edited by Keith Allan1st ed. 2020.Springer Singapore2020Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (289 pages)981-15-6429-9 Part 1: Language Changes: Looking Within a Language -- Chapter 1.

The Singpho Water Flowing Song: Searching for the poetics in a rich maze of linguistic forms.This book explores the dynamics of language changes from sociolinguistic and historical linguistic perspectives. With in-depth case studies from all around the world, it uses diverse approaches across sociolinguistics and historical linguistics to answer questions such as: How and why do language changes begin?; how do language changes spread?; and how can they ultimately be explained? Each chapter explores a different component of language change, including typology, syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, lexicology, discourse strategies, diachronic change, synchronic change, how the deafblind modify sign language, and the accommodation of language to song. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of language change over time, simultaneously advancing current research and suggesting new directions in sociolinguistic and historical linguistic approaches. .SociolinguisticsLinguistic anthropologyHistorical linguisticsSemanticsPhonologySociolinguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N44000Linguistic Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12020Language Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N61000Semanticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N39000Phonology and Phoneticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N34000Sociolinguistics.Linguistic anthropology.Historical linguistics.Semantics.Phonology.Sociolinguistics.Linguistic Anthropology.Language History.Semantics.Phonology and Phonetics.417.7Allan Keithedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910863115503321Dynamics of Language Changes4166245UNINA
