Summary -- BackmatterThe book is concerned with a hitherto underresearched grammaticalization process: the development from quality-attributing adjective to determiner in the English noun phrase. It takes a bottom-up approach, based on extensive synchronic and diachronic corpus studies of six English adjectives of comparison: other, different, same, identical, similar and comparable. Their functional diversity in current English is proposed to constitute a case of layering, representing the original descriptive use, which expresses how like/unlike each other entities are, and a range of grammaticalized referential uses, which contribute to the identification and/or quantification of the entities denoted by the NP. Diachronic and comparative data material is invoked to verify and further develop the grammaticalization hypothesis. The development of adjectives of comparison involves several key concepts identified in the literature. Crucially, it is described as a case of textual intersubjectification driven by the optimalization of recipient-design. The actual grammaticalization paths are diverse and are characterized by lexical as well as structural persistence, i.e. the same lexical meaning develops into different grammatical functions in different syntagmatic configurations. In order to define the NP as a locus of diachronic change, this study offers a new angle on the description of adjectives and the modelling of NP structure. It advocates the abandonment of the traditional class-based model in favour of a radically functional one, in which functions are defined in terms of prototypicality so as to allow for gradience between and within them. The described grammaticalization processes involve developments from prototypical lexical to grammatical reference-related use within the adjectival category, which can be the starting point of further gradual change to determiners. The traditional relation between classes and positions is envisaged as a correspondence between functional and syntactic zones. The change in form concomitant with grammaticalization in the NP is argued to consist of the reconfiguration of structural combinatorics and progressive leftward movement. The book is of interest to linguistic researchers and graduate students in linguistics who focus their attention on grammaticalization and subjectification, the functional description of adjectives, questions of deixis and theoretical issues relating to nominal reference.

A specific goal of the journal is to provide a forum to promote dialogue between environmental scientists, ecologists, resource managers and policy makers. All research methodologies are encouraged comprehensively covering qualitative, quantitative, experimental, theoretical and applied approaches to the field. Particular topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Applied ecology and the management of biological resources (including wildlife and habitat management, land use and management, aquatic resources, restoration ecology); Theoretical ecology and modelling; Biodiversity and species abundance; Conservation (including planning and risk assessment); Animal ecology; Microbial ecology; Evolution ecology; Chemical and molecular ecology; Marine ecology; Behavioural ecology; Remote sensing and ecology; Ecosystems and biospheres as complex adaptive systems; Tools and computational methods to study ecological systems (including AI, informatics and Big Data); Ecology and society.EREEREApplied ecologyPeriodicalsEcologyResearchPeriodicalsBiodiversityResearchPeriodicalsEnvironmental sciencesPeriodicalsHuman ecologyResearchPeriodicalsNature conservationPeriodicalsLandscape protectionPeriodicalsEnvironmentally sensitive areasPeriodicalsÉcologie appliquéePériodiquesÉcologieRecherchePériodiquesBiodiversitéRecherchePériodiquesSciences de l'environnementPériodiquesNatureConservationPériodiquesPaysagesProtectionPériodiquesRégions écologiquement sensiblesPériodiquesApplied ecologyfastBiodiversityResearchfastEcologyResearchfastEnvironmental sciencesfastEnvironmentally sensitive areasfastHuman ecologyResearchfastLandscape protectionfastNature conservationfastPeriodicalperiodicals.aatPeriodicalsfastPeriodicals.lcgftPériodiques.rvmgfApplied ecologyEcologyResearchBiodiversityResearchEnvironmental sciencesHuman ecologyResearchNature conservationLandscape protectionEnvironmentally sensitive areasÉcologie appliquéeÉcologieRechercheBiodiversitéRechercheSciences de l'environnementNatureConservationPaysagesProtectionRégions écologiquement sensiblesApplied ecologyBiodiversityResearchEcologyResearchEnvironmental sciencesEnvironmentally sensitive areasHuman ecologyResearchLandscape protectionNature conservation577Institute of Physics (Great Britain)JOURNAL9910591162203321Environmental Research, Ecology4206099UNINA01325nam2 22003493i 450 MIL029222620251003044230.020230623d1970 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrier3Salvatore SattaPadovaCEDAM1970XII, 174 p.22 cm.001SBL03592542001 Quaderni del diritto e del processo civileSalvatore Satta3DirittoSaggiFIRCFIC001180IDiritto processualeFIRCFIC015887E347DIRITTO PROCESSUALE CIVILE E TRIBUNALI CIVILI21347DIRITTO PROCESSUALE CIVILE E TRIBUNALI CIVILI23Aspetti giuridiciDirittoAspetti giuridiciSatta, Salvatore <1902-1975>CFIV051832292667Satta, Salvatore GiovanniAUFV001453Satta, Salvatore <1902-1975>ITIT-00000020230623IT-BN0095 IT-NA0070 MIL0292226Biblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneo1 v. 01D (AR) 2 383 01AR 0070023835 VMA (0003 v. 3Y 2012100120121001 01 BU31558949UNISANNIO
