As ever in the history of science, this wave of advances is driven by the rapid development of new methods and techniques.  New methods of extracting and studying fossils have vastly improved understanding of Palaeozoic arthropods.  New non-invasive, non-destructive techniques, such as micro-computed tomography, have revolutionised anatomical analysis and imaging. Arthropod comparative genomics is still in its infancy but high-throughput sequencing together with next-generation sequencing has facilitated spectacular growth in volumes of sequence data, which in turn has driven advances in bioinformatics. These novel methods have generated a wealth of data which has been critically reviewed by the chapter authors, to provide a new perspective on arthropod biology and evolution. The concise factual summaries and the questions articulated in this book will be of interest to evolutionary biologists, palaeontologists, developmental geneticists and invertebrate zoologists. It will be of special interest to advanced graduate and post-graduate students and have the potential to stimulate younger researchers to address questions in arthropod biology from the vantage point of a phylum-wide comparative perspective.ArthropodaDevelopmentArthropodaEvolutionArthropodaDevelopment.ArthropodaEvolution.595.138Minelli Alessandro7718Boxshall Geoffrey Allan1764061Fusco Giuseppe1965-1764062MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910739458603321Arthropod biology and evolution4204800UNINA04253nam 2200673Ia 450 991096637300332120200520144314.0978661225441397890272952629027295263978128225441112822544139781423761358142376135910.1075/slcs.68(CKB)1000000000459838(SSID)ssj0000139656(PQKBManifestationID)12046525(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000139656(PQKBWorkID)10028032(PQKB)11371616(MiAaPQ)EBC622465(DE-B1597)720356(DE-B1597)9789027295262(EXLCZ)99100000000045983820030909d2004 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrDiscourse across languages and cultures /edited by Carol Lynn Moder and Aida Martinovic-Zic1st ed.Philadelphia, PA John Benjamins Pub.20041 online resource (372 pages)Studies in language companion series ;v. 68Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9781588114495 158811449X 9789027230782 9027230781 Includes bibliographical references and index.Discourse Across Languages and Cultures -- Editorial page -- Title page -- LCC page -- Contents -- 1.

The collection of articles by prominent authors and younger scholars encompasses a variety of research approaches and treats numerous naturally-occurring spoken and written genres, including conversations, narratives, academic expository writing, journalism, advertising, and professional promotional texts. Languages examined include English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Urdu, Dutch, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian. Taken individually and collectively, the articles in this collection draw important conclusions concerning the roles of cognition, multilingualism, communities of practice, and linguistic typology in shaping discourse within and across cultures.Studies in language companion series ;v. 68.Discourse analysisIntercultural communicationDiscourse analysis.Intercultural communication.401/.41Moder Carol Lynn1799902Martinovic-Zic Aida1799903MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966373003321Discourse across languages and cultures4344332UNINA
