The fruits of each earlier enquiry in turn nourish the desire to continue to acquire knowledge, through further observation of newer linguistic facts. As time goes by, the corpus linguist operates increasingly in the awareness of what has gone before. Corpus Linguistics, thirty years on, is less an innocent sortie into corpus territory on the basis of a hunch than an informed, critical reassessment of existing analytical orthodoxy, in the light of new data coming on stream. This volume comprises twenty-two articles penned by members of the ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Mediaeval English) association, which together provide a critical and informed reappraisal of the facts, data, methods and tools of Corpus Linguistics which are available today. Authors reconsider the boundaries of the discipline, exploring its areas of commonality with Sociolinguistics, Language Variation, Discourse Linguistics, and Lexical Statistics and showing how that commonality is potentially of immense benefit to practitioners in the fields concerned. The volume culminates in the report of a timely and novel expert panel discussion on the role of Corpus Linguistics in the study of English as a global language. This encompasses issues such as English as an international lingua franca, ‘norms’ for global English, and the question of ‘ownership’, or who qualifies as a native speaker.Language and Computers69.Corpora (Linguistics)Corpora (Linguistics)fastCorpora (Linguistics)Corpora (Linguistics)420/.285Renouf Antoinette1787273Kehoe Andrew1787274NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910969101203321Corpus linguistics4320231UNINA03195nam 22006612 450 991096007670332120151005020622.01-139-09744-X1-107-21420-31-139-10080-71-139-10146-31-139-09877-20-511-89505-41-139-09945-0(CKB)2550000000055637(EBL)803111(OCoLC)769342126(SSID)ssj0000540422(PQKBManifestationID)11373252(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000540422(PQKBWorkID)10586492(PQKB)10712662(UkCbUP)CR9780511895050(Au-PeEL)EBL803111(CaPaEBR)ebr10502857(MiAaPQ)EBC803111(PPN)181165279(EXLCZ)99255000000005563720101122d2011|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPromises and contract law comparative perspectives /Martin Hogg1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2011.1 online resource (xxxviii, 505 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).1-107-41697-3 0-521-19338-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt. 1. Theoretical and historical Introduction: The concept of promise ; Promises as obligations : morality and law ; The historical development of promissory ideas in the law -- pt. 2. The modern law: Formation of contract ; Third party rights ; Contractual remedies ; The renunciation of contractual rights -- pt. 3. The future: The future of promise in contract law.Promises and Contract Law is the first modern work to explore the significance of promise to contract law from a comparative legal perspective. Part I explores the component elements of promise, its role in Greek thought and Roman law, the importance of the moral duty to keep promises and the development of promissory ideas in medieval legal scholarship. Part II considers the modern contract law of a number of legal systems from a promissory perspective. The focus is on the law of England, Germany and three mixed legal systems (Scotland, South Africa and Louisiana), though other legal systems are also mentioned. Major topics subjected to a promissory analysis include formation of contract, third party rights, contractual remedies and the renunciation of contractual rights. Part III analyses the future role which promise might play in contract law, especially within a harmonised European contract law.Promises & Contract LawPromise (Law)ContractsPromise (Law)Contracts.346.02LAW021000bisacshHogg Martin1830616UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910960076703321Promises and contract law4427331UNINA
