This reader is built around three themes arranged according to complementary points of view to stimulate thought on the subject of variation as it is approached today. The first theme, ?The social dimension of variation?, includes three contributions dealing with variation across different categories of speakers. This reflects not only the expert/layperson dichotomy but also other more original polarities as the emotional dimension and the issue of diastratic variation across LSPs. The second part of this reader puts forward different tools and methods to identify, describe and manage term variation. The third theme of this reader questions semantics of term variation through the topics of concept saturation, multidimensionality and metaphor. Variation, through this picture of current studies, proves to be the touchstone for the understanding of the major issues of terminology research today. The included papers draw on research in terminology carried out in different language communities - Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch in particular - thereby opening up a window on much of the research carried out in these cultural areas. 410 0$aTerminology and lexicography research and practice ;$v18. 606 $aLexicography$vTerminology 606 $aLexicography$xVariation 606 $aLanguage and languages$vTerminology 606 $aLexicostatistics 606 $aComputational linguistics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLexicography 615 0$aLexicography$xVariation. 615 0$aLanguage and languages 615 0$aLexicostatistics. 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 676 $a417.7 701 $aDrouin$b Patrick$01073496 701 $aFrancoeur$b Aline$0953388 701 $aHumbley$b J$g(John)$01073497 701 $aPicton$b Aure?lie$01073498 912 $a9910466755703321 996 $aMultiple perspectives on terminological variation$92569633 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03604oam 2200481 450 001 9910484543903321 005 20190911112726.0 010 $a3-642-33908-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-642-33908-0 035 $a(OCoLC)872699389 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6YMT 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000025203 100 $a20130820d2014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe right(s) to water $ethe multi-level governance of a unique human right /$fPierre Thielborger 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aHeidelberg [Germany] :$cSpringer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (xvii, 236 pages) 225 0 $aGale eBooks 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-642-33907-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- The Current Legal Status of the Right to Water -- Philosophical and Conceptual Approaches to a Human Right to Water -- Implementation of the Right: Independent Monitoring, Enforcement against the Private Sector, and International Realization -- Conclusion. 330 $aPoliticians and diplomats have for many years proclaimed a human right to water as a solution to the global water crisis, most recently in the 2010 the UN General Assembly Resolution ?The human right to water and sanitation?. To what extent, however, can a right to water legally and philosophically exist and what difference to international law and politics can it make? This question lies at the heart of this book.   The book?s answer is to argue that a right to water exists under international law but in a more differentiated and multi-level manner than previously recognised. Rather than existing as a singular and comprehensive right, the right to water should be understood as a composite right of different layers, both deriving from separate rights to health, life and an adequate standard of living, and supported by an array of regional and national rights.   The author also examines the right at a conceptual level. After disproving some of the theoretical objections to the category of socio-economic rights generally and the concept of a right to water more specifically, the manuscript develops an innovative approach towards the interplay of different rights to water among different legal orders. The book argues for an approach to human rights ? including the right to water ? as international minimum standards, using the right to water as a model case to demonstrate how multilevel human rights protection can function effectively.   The book also addresses a crucial last question: how does one make an international right to water meaningful in practice? The manuscript identifies three crucial criteria in order to strengthen such a composite derived right in practice: independent monitoring; enforcement towards the private sector; and international realization. The author examines to what extent these criteria are currently adhered to, and suggests practical ways of how they could be better met in the future. 606 $aRight to water 606 $aInternational law 615 0$aRight to water. 615 0$aInternational law. 676 $a261 676 $a320 676 $a323.43 676 $a338.9 700 $aThielbörger$b Pierre$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226850 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484543903321 996 $aThe Right(s) to Water$92848693 997 $aUNINA
