Translation and Pragmatics - Louisa Desilla

Translation and Pragmatics aims to provide a fundamental grounding of key phenomena, theories, and concepts in the field of pragmatics and of some of their manifestations both within and across languages and cultures. The originality of this textbook largely resides in its pedagogical approach which involves familiarising students with the pragmatic phenomena of deixis, speech acts, implicature, and (im)politeness first and foremost through a systematic exposure to concrete, authentic data from a broad spectrum of texts and media (e.g., ads, memes, films, videogames) while showcasing how these phenomena are relayed in different types of translation. With warm-up exercises, illustrative case studies, mini-research activities as well as further reading, this is an essential textbook for translation and intercultural communication students but can also be a useful resource for anyone interested in the interface between pragmatics, translation and/or intercultural communication, media, and the synergies thereof.

Machine Translation and Translation Theory - Omri Asscher

Pervasive and ubiquitous, machine translation systems have been transforming communication and understanding across languages and cultures on a historical scale. Focused on both Neural Machine Translation tools, such as Google Translate, and generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Omri Asscher pursues the juncture between machine translation and the diverse, often competing, frameworks of human translation theory. He shines a light on the subtleties of the intersection between the two: the places where machine translation corresponds well with the ideas that have been developed on human translation throughout the years, and the places where machine translation seems to challenge translation theory, and perhaps even require that we rethink some of its basic assumptions.Machine Translation and Translation Theory reflects the need for an accessible, panoramic view on the subject. It offers a detailed discussion of various points of theoretical interest: definitions of translation; equivalence in translation; aesthetics of translation; translation ethics; translation as cross-cultural communication; and translation as a historical agent.This is key reading for researchers and students in translation studies, as well as scholars of AI-mediated communication, and computer scientists interested in how machine translation architectures correspond with the understanding of translation in the humanities.

Children of Darkness and Light - Lori Hellis

In this gripping work of true crime, a criminal lawyer takes readers inside the notorious Lori Vallow case and the devastating "doomsday murders."A blonde beauty queen, missing children, six suspicious deaths, and the twisted Mormon doomsday writings of her fifth husband are only the beginning of a tragic crime saga that gripped Americans and instigated frantic searches all over the country. It all started when Lori Vallow met Chad Daybell at a doomsday prepper event. Their story grew like a wildfire that creates its own weather, and what happened next will shock even the most experienced true crime reader. Clinging to and manipulating one another, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell believed the return of Jesus Christ was imminent and that God had chosen them to lead the 144,000 and usher in the new millennium. When the people closest to them began dying, it became clear they would stop at nothing to be together and fulfill their mission. When the bodies of Lori’s missing children—J.J. and Tylee—were discovered in Chad’s backyard, the strange and complex story of their fundamentalist Mormon beliefs were revealed in all their true horror.

Talismans and Tarot - Lori Lytle

Talismans and Tarot offers tarot lovers a new way to add power to their practice! By combining magic, rituals, and the use of talismans alongside the cards, readers will find support in manifesting their goals, dreams, and desires. As our ancestors did before us, we put our faith in lucky charms and talismans. Maybe you have a protective charm like a guardian angel pendant or an evil eye. Perhaps it is a family heirloom, a crystal, a small figurine, a foreign coin, or another fascinating object that brings you comfort and luck. We adorn ourselves with symbolic images and carry talismans because we hope in some way to improve our lives and reach our goals. We also turn to these touchstones when we are fearful or in need of comfort. Or when we’re inspired or ambitious and want to believe that anything is possible. Lovers of tarot know that the cards inspire with those same intentions. Incorporating talismans with tarot reading offers a powerful and lasting impact. It is a magical combination that helps to amplify intentions and attract positive energy. It enables you to carry the power of a tarot reading with you every day as it supports and ...

Selected Poems - Federico García Lorca

''Lorca brought an understanding of the paradox that was Spain - sensuality chafing under a rigid moral code, individual desire at war with tradition.'' Manuel DuranFederico García Lorca is perhaps the most celebrated of all twentieth-century Spanish writers, known not only for his plays but also for several collections of poems published both in his short lifetime and after. Lorca''s poetry is steeped in the land, climate, and folklore of his native Andalusia, though he writes memorably of New York and Cuba too. Often in modernist idiom, and full of startling imagery, he evokes a world of intense feelings, silent suffering, and dangerous love.This selection balances poems from Lorca''s early collections with his better-known work to give a clear vision of his poetic development. Martin Sorrell''s accomplished translations are complemented by D. Gareth Walters''s shrewd Introduction, with its distinctive focus on the achievements of the poet. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Lorna Doone - R. D. Blackmore

''Every woman clutched her child, and every man turned pale at the very name of "Doone"'' John Ridd, an unsophisticated farmer, falls in love with the beautiful and aristocratic Lorna Doone, kidnapped as a child by the outlaw Doones on Exmoor. Ridd''s rivalry with the villainous Carver Doone reaches a dramatic climax that will determine Lorna''s future happiness.First published in 1869, Lorna Doone was praised by R. L. Stevenson and Thomas Hardy and has remained constantly in print. The novel has many aspects: it is a romance; a historical novel set at the time of the Monmouth Rebellion in the seventeenth century; and a new development in the pastoral tradition. Underneath an ostensibly idyllic evocation of rural bliss and tale of love and high adventure lies a solid defence of Victorian social values, and a hero whose self-doubt prompts him constantly to prove himself.

Mass Polarization across Time and Space - Isaac D. Mehlhaff

Mass polarization is one of the defining features of politics in the twenty-first century, but efforts to understand its causes and effects are often hindered by empirical challenges related to measurement and data availability. To address these challenges and provide a common standard of analysis for researchers, this Element presents the Polarization in Comparative Attitudes Project (PolarCAP). PolarCAP clearly defines polarization as a property of group relations and uses a Bayesian measurement model to estimate smooth panels of ideological and affective polarization across ninety-two countries and forty-nine years. The author uses these data to provide a descriptive account of mass polarization across time and space. They further show how PolarCAP facilitates substantive inference by applying it to three sets of variables often hypothesized as causes or consequences of polarization: institutional design, economic crisis, and democracy. Open-source software makes PolarCAP easily accessible to scholars and practitioners.

Managing Mergers Acquisitions and Strategic Alliances - Cary L. Cooper, Sue Cartwright

Mergers, acquisitions, and alliances continue to be almost an everyday feature of the contemporary business scene, yet at least half prove to be unsuccessful. The authors show the contribution that psychology can make to our understanding of the merger phenomena - how it affects organizational performance, and how it affects the managers and employees involved. Mergers, Acquisitions and Strategic Alliances is intended as a guide to successful organizational marriage. Great emphasis is placed on the issue of cultural compatibility as it concerns partner selection, integration practices and venture outcomes. The book also focuses on cross-national mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures. With the increasing economic activity within the European Union and between the unions of other countries, there is a need to know more about the corporate and national cultures in these strategic alliances. The authors have drawn upon an extensive body of research based on recent cases in a wide cross section of industries across Europe.The book is unique in showing the actual effect mergers and acquisitions have on people, and consequently on the performance of the ''new'' organization. It will be particularly relevant for decision makers - those who are involved in planning and implementing a large organizational change, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

I'm Not Your Muse - Zimmer Lori

An illuminating exploration of 31 incredible women—across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more—whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history''s better-known men. What does it mean to be someone''s "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. Perhaps her inspiring presence is even credited in the story of his success. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another.I''m Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts.

Zabar's - Julia Moskin, Lori Zabar

The fascinating, mouthwatering story (with ten recipes!) of the immigrant family that created a New York gastronomic legend: “The most rambunctious and chaotic of all delicatessens, with one foot in the Old World and the other in the vanguard of every fast-breaking food move in the city" (Nora Ephron, best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter).When Louis and Lilly Zabar rented a counter in a dairy store on 80th Street and Broadway in 1934 to sell smoked fish, they could not have imagined that their store would eventually occupy half a city block and become a beloved mecca for quality food of all kinds. A passion for perfection, a keen business sense, cutthroat competitive instincts, and devotion to their customers led four generations of Zabars to create the Upper West Side shrine to the cheese, fish, meat, produce, baked goods, and prepared products that heralded the twentieth-century revolution in food production and consumption. Lori Zabar—Louis’s granddaughter—begins with her grandfather’s escape from Ukraine in 1921, following a pogrom in which several family members were killed. She describes Zabar’s gradual expansion, Louis’s untimely death in 1950, and the passing of the torch to Saul, Stanley, and partner Murray Klein, who raised competitive pricing to ...

Public Data Cultures - Jonathan W. Y. Gray

Public data shapes what we know and how we live together. It is often digital, freely available and related to matters of shared concern, from global warming graphs to collaborative spreadsheets documenting mass layoffs. Public Data Cultures explores the practices and cultures of how data is made public in the age of the Internet. Looking beyond familiar narratives of data as a resource to be liberated or protected, this book offers new perspectives on public data as networked cultural material, as medium of participation and as site of transnational politics. To better account for how data makes a difference, the book argues for a more expansive conception of what is involved in making data public. It focuses not just on removing restrictions but also on caring for arrangements involved in making data public in ways that grow shared understanding and solidarity in responding to the many intersecting troubles of our times. Nurturing critical and creative engagements with data, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of media, science and technology studies and digital humanities, as well as artists, designers, journalists and activists working with data.

Imagining the Heavens across Eurasia

In Imagining the Heavens across Eurasia, 20 authors tell in novel ways the histories of astral knowledge through objects and their imagery. These objects include, for instance, caves and buildings, manuscripts and prints, textiles and metal dishes, instruments and paintings, monuments, and sculptures. Each chapter focuses on specific items, analysing their pictorial content and situating them in the contexts of their production and usage. As its main issue, the book addresses the knowledge inscribed in these images and their material carriers. Particular attention is paid to the interconnection between images, materials, themes, and objects across space and time. This approach enables the authors to highlight the numerous cross-cultural relations between the objects, interlinking their chapters with each other. Thus, this book offers a richly illustrated kaleidoscope of astral knowledge in Eurasia to experts and lay people alike.

The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays - Oscar Wilde

The crowning plays of one of Ireland''s most heralded artistsOscar Wilde was at once a family man and a homosexual outsider, a socialite, socialist, and Irish nationalist.

Philosophy and Life - Anthony C. Grayling

From the eminent philosopher, an authoritative exploration of the great questions of how to live'There is a question everyone has to ask and answer - in fact, has to keep on asking and keep on answering. It is, 'How should I live my life?' meaning, 'What values shall I live by? 'What sort of person should I be? What shall I aim for?' The great majority of people do not ask this question, they merely answer it unthinkingly, by adopting conventional views of life and what matters in it...' From Stoics to existentialists, in philosophy and literature, discussion of the philosophy of life -- of love and death, of courage, fortitude and wisdom -- challenges us all to think about what kinds of life are truly worth living. In this summation of a lifetime thinking and writing about this great question, A.C. Grayling explores with clarity and depth the ideas that each of us must use in answering it for ourselves. Drawing on the lives, experiences and works of a fantastically eclectic range of thinkers -- taking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca and Nietzsche, but also authors from Shakespeare to Ursula LeGuin, and modern thinkers such as ...

The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness and Obsession - David Grann

As Sherlock Holmes once conceded to Dr. Watson, 'If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outréresults, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.' And with such a spirit for investigation and discovery does David Grann set out in The Devil and Sherlock Holmes to unravel the truth of twelve great, real-life mysteries. Although Holmes is the subject of just one of the mesmerizing true stories in this collection, all twelve contain elements of intrigue.Many of the protagonists are sleuths: a Polish detective trying to determine whether an author planted clues to a real murder in his post-modern novel; an arson investigator racing to prove whether a man about to be executed is innocent; a legendary French con man questioning whether he is the one who is suddenly being conned; and scientists stalking a sea monster.
