This set of studies explores and demonstrates cross-linguistic semantics as practised in the natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) framework, originated by Anna Wierzbicka. The opening chapters give a state-of-the-art overview of the NSM model, propose several theoretical innovations and advance a number of original analyses in connection with names and naming, clefts and other specificational sentences, and discourse anaphora. Subsequent chapters describe and analyse diverse phenomena in ten languages from multiple families, geographical locations, and cultural settings around the globe. Three substantial studies document how the metalanguage of NSM semantic primes can be realised in languages of widely differing types: Amharic (Ethiopia), Korean, and East Cree. Each constitutes a lexicogrammatical portrait in miniature of the language concerned. Other chapters probe topics such as inalienable possession in Koromu (Papua New Guinea), epistemic verbs in Swedish, hyperpolysemy in Bunuba (Australia), the expression of "momentariness" in Berber, ethnogeometry in Makasai (East Timor), value concepts in Russian, and "virtuous emotions" in Japanese. This book will be valuable for linguists working on language description, lexical semantics, or the semantics of grammar, for advanced students of linguistics, and for others interested in language universals and language diversity.Studies in language companion series ;v. 102.MetalanguageSemanticsMetalanguage.Semantics.401/.43Goddard Cliff174092MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972258403321Cross-linguistic semantics4345789UNINA03575nam 22006735 450 991015563560332120251030103751.09781137584311113758431910.1057/978-1-137-58431-1(CKB)4340000000027796(DE-He213)978-1-137-58431-1(MiAaPQ)EBC4765528(Perlego)3494913(EXLCZ)99434000000002779620161207d2016 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCuban Film Media, Late Socialism, and the Public Sphere Imperfect Aesthetics /by Nicholas Balaisis1st ed. 2016.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (XII, 201 p. 23 illus., 19 illus. in color.) Global Cinema,2634-596XIncludes index.9781137590367 113759036X This book maps the aesthetic experience of late socialism through Cuban film and media practice. It shows how economic and material scarcity as well as political uncertainty is expressed aesthetically in films from the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a characteristic described as imperfect aesthetics. The films examined in the book draw attention to the unique temporal experience of late socialism, a period marked both by rapid change and frustrating stasis, nostalgia for Cuba’s past and anxiousness about its future. Aesthetic modes such as melodrama and irony, and stylistic elements such as direct address and the long take, communicate the temporal experience of late socialism in Cuba, where new global traffic and a globalizing economy co-exist with iconic socialist features of the Cuban revolution. Film aesthetics constitute an important public dimension within this context, serving as a site of political and cultural critique amidst political uncertainty. In examining large-scale international co-productions as well as regional film collectives and amateur media making, the book traces the aesthetic continuities between contemporary film practices and those of the immediate post-revolutionary period, showing how the Cuban revolution continues to be an important touchstone for contemporary Cuban filmmakers in the face of new and imminent change. .Global Cinema,2634-596XMotion pictures, AmericanEthnologyLatin AmericaCultureAmericaPolitics and governmentMotion picturesHistoryCommunicationLatin American Film and TVLatin American CultureAmerican PoliticsFilm and TV HistoryMedia and CommunicationMotion pictures, American.EthnologyCulture.AmericaPolitics and government.Motion picturesHistory.Communication.Latin American Film and TV.Latin American Culture.American Politics.Film and TV History.Media and Communication.791.43098Balaisis Nicholasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063247BOOK9910155635603321Cuban Film Media, Late Socialism, and the Public Sphere2531173UNINA
