Using Tonal Data to Recover Japanese Language History - Elisabeth M. de Boer
This book challenges several assumptions commonly encountered in Japanese dialectology: that the pitch-accent analysis of modern Tōkyō Japanese is an appropriate basis for describing the suprasegmental phonology of other dialects and earlier stages of Japanese; that the Kyōto-type dialects have been more conservative than dialects to their east and west; that the first split in proto-Japanese was the separation of proto-Ryūkyūan; and so on. De Boer brings together evidence from recent fieldwork, premodern texts, and other sources to establish a theory of dialect divergence that avoids the problems these assumptions entail. Building on De Boer 2010, this book brings the author’s theory up to date with research published in the interim, explains why Japanese is best understood as a restricted tone language, and why mergers in the large tone classes of nouns and verbs are especially reliable markers of dialect divergence.

We Are Data - John Cheney-Lippold
What identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist it Algorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to us and even who our friends are. These complex configurations not only form knowledge and social relationships in the digital and physical world, but also determine who we are and who we can be, both on and offline. Algorithms create and recreate us, using our data to assign and reassign our gender, race, sexuality, and citizenship status. They can recognize us as celebrities or mark us as terrorists. In this era of ubiquitous surveillance, contemporary data collection entails more than gathering information about us. Entities like Google, Facebook, and the NSA also decide what that information means, constructing our worlds and the identities we inhabit in the process. We have little control over who we algorithmically are. Our identities are made useful not for us—but for someone else. Through a series of entertaining and engaging examples, John Cheney-Lippold draws on the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Velký útěk z Vůdcova bunkru - Osudy nacistických pohlavárů třetí říše - Sjoerd J. de Boer
Podzemními tunely, plazením pod ostnatými dráty, plaváním a veslováním přes řeky, autem, letadlem, na korbě náklaďáku plného obrazů nebo pěšky. Mnozí z nejvýznamnějších Hitlerových stoupenců, kteří byli ještě na konci války v blízkosti Vůdcova bunkru v Berlíně, se těmito nejrůznějšími způsoby snažili uniknout z města. Dařilo se to poměrně obtížně. Město bylo téměř zcela obklíčeno sovětskou armádou, takže dostat se pryč bylo životu nebezpečné a téměř nemožné. Albert Bormann, Theodor G. Morell, Julius Gregor Schaub prchali jižním směrem do Rakouska či Bavorska, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl, Karl Dönitz či Albert Speer utíkali na sever, mnozí další se snažili dostat pryč přes berlínskou Tiergarten. Většina lidí, kteří se v bunkru nacházeli, nechtěla zemřít a snažila se z úkrytu, který se pro ně stal vězením, uprchnout. Nejrychleji pryč odsud chtěli nejenom významné osobnosti, jako byli ministři, státní úředníci a členové ozbrojených sil, ale také sekretářky, lékaři i neznámí chlapci z Hitlerjugend. Komu se ale podařilo proklouznout kolem ruských vojáků a dosáhnout svobody? Jak unikli a jakými cestami se vydali zničenými ulicemi Berlína? Stejně tak, co se stalo s těmi, kteří utekli, kam šli a co se stalo s těmi, kteří se nedostali pryč? Na všechny otázky odpovídá tato kniha. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

From Edouard Manet's portrait of naturalist writer Emile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh's meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe-but often remains misunderstood as an "exotic" artifact that helped inspire Western creativity.The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art-including, as Karl Marx put it, that "all that is solid melts into air"-were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century.This volume, derived from the original XXL monograph, lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context.

Psycholinguistic Approaches to Instructed Second Language Acquisition - Daniel R. Walter
This book applies a psycholinguistic perspective to instructed second language acquisition, seeking to bridge the gap between second language acquisition research and language teaching practices. It challenges the traditional divide between conscious and unconscious processes, or explicit and implicit learning, and re-envisions this as a continuum of the varying levels of consciousness which can be applied by learners to different language behaviors in the second language classroom. It applies this model to learner development and the classroom context, discussing pedagogical applications for instructors at all levels. This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in second language acquisition, psycholinguistics and language pedagogy. The accessible discussion of research findings, pedagogical approaches and classroom tasks and activities make this book particularly relevant for language teachers, providing the tools needed to apply second language acquisition research in their classroom.

Goodbye Globalization - Elisabeth Braw
GOLD MEDALLIST IN THE 2024 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS  A bold new account of the state of globalization today—and what its collapse might mean for the world economy  After the Cold War, globalization accelerated at breakneck speed. Manufacturing, transport, and consumption defied national borders, companies made more money, and consumers had access to an ever-increasing range of goods. But in recent years, a profound shift has begun to take place.  Business executives and politicians alike are realising that globalization is no longer working. Supply chains are imperilled, Russia has been expelled from the global economy after its invasion of Ukraine, and China is using these fissures to leverage a strategic advantage. Given these pressures, what will the future of our world economy look like?  In this groundbreaking account, Elisabeth Braw explores the collapse of globalization and the profound challenges it will bring to the West. Drawing on interviews with prominent executives and policymakers from around the world, Braw poses the difficult questions all businesses and economies will face—and traces the intricate story of globalization from the exuberant ’90s to the embattled present.

Japanese Prints in Transition - Rhiannon Paget, Karin Breuer
Art curators Rhiannon Paget and Karin Breuer present a stunning introduction to the history of Japanese printmaking, featuring selections from the renowned Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts’ permanent exhibit with highlights from the de Young Museum’s vast collection. In 1868, Japan underwent a dramatic transformation following the overthrow of the shogun by supporters of Emperor Meiji, marking the end of feudal military rule and ushering in a new era of government that promoted modernizing the country and interacting with other nations. Japanese print culture, which had flourished for more than a century with the production of color woodcuts (the so-called ukiyo-e, or “floating world” images), also changed course during the Meiji era (1868–1912), as societal changes and the once-isolationist country’s new global engagement provided a wealth of new subjects for artists to capture.Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World documents the shift from delicately colored ukiyo-e depictions of actors, courtesans, and scenic views to brightly colored images of Western architecture, modern military warfare, technology (railroad trains, steam-powered ships, telegraph lines), and Victorian fashions and customs.Includes Color Photographs
