Сквозь зеркало языка Гай Дойчер
ISBN: 978-5-17-114373-2 Год издания: 2019 Издательство: АСТ Язык: Русский Почему в английском языке предметы не имеют категории рода, а в суахили – наоборот, множество родов? Почему великий Гомер упорно именовал зеленое Эгейское море "винноцветным"? Почему обитатели древнего Междуречья так и не пришли к выводу, считать ли рабов грамматически одушевленными или неодушевленными предметами? И, наконец, какие языковые сюрпризы способны превратить в ад жизнь начинающего переводчика поэзии? Книга Гая Дойчера "Сквозь зеркало языка" – одно из тех немногих научно-популярных произведений, которые становятся литературными сенсациями и международными бестселлерами. Да и может ли быть по-другому, если в этой блестящей,…

A Natural History of Latin Tore Janson
ISBN: 978-0199214051 Год издания: 2007 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский No known language, including English, has achieved the success and longevity of Latin. French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian are among its direct descendants, and countless Latin words and phrases comprise the cornerstone of English itself. A Natural History or Latin tells its history from its origins over 2500 years ago to the present. Brilliantly conceived, popularizing but authoritative, and written with the fluency and light touch that have made Tore Janson's Speak so attractive to tens of thousands of readers, it is a masterpiece of adroit synthesis. The book commences with a description of the origins, emergence, and dominance of…

Iceland Imagined: Nature, Culture, and Storytelling in the North Atlantic Karen Oslund
ISBN: 978-0295990835 Год издания: 2011 Издательство: University of Washington Press Язык: Английский Iceland, Greenland, Northern Norway, and the Faroe Islands lie on the edges of Western Europe, in an area long portrayed by travelers as remote and exotic--its nature harsh, its people reclusive. Since the middle of the eighteenth century, however, this marginalized region has gradually become part of modern Europe, a transformation that is narrated in Karen Oslund's Iceland Imagined. This cultural and environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geography, saga narratives, language, culture, and politics, and analyzing its emergence as a distinctive and symbolic part of Europe. The…

The Unfolding Of Language Guy Deutscher
ISBN: 9780099460251 Год издания: 2006 Издательство: Arrow Books Язык: Английский "Language is mankind's greatest invention - except, of course, that it was never invented". So begins Guy Deutscher's enthralling investigation into the evolution of language. No one believes that the Roman Senate sat down one day to design the complex system that is Latin grammar, and few believe, these days, in the literal truth of the story of the Tower of Babel. But then how did there come to be so many languages, and of such elaborate design? If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of "man throw spear", how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies and intricately nuanced shades of meaning? -
Sumerian Grammar Dietz Otto Edzard
ISBN: 978-1589832527 Год издания: 2003 Издательство: Society of Biblical Literature Язык: Английский It seems safe to say that this "Sumerian Grammar" by Professor D.O. Edzard will become the new classic reference in the field. It is an up-to-date, reliable guide to the language of the Sumerians, the inventors of cuneiform writing in the late 4th millennium B.C., and thus essential contributors to the high cultural standard of the whole of Mesopotamia and beyond. Following traditional lines, the "Grammar" describes general characteristics, origins, linguistic environment, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and phraseology. Due attention is given to the symbiosis with Semitic Akkadian, with which Sumerian was to form a veritable…

De fortabte sjæles ø Jacob Weinreich
ISBN: 9788711311516 Год издания: 2007 Издательство: Sesam Gennem århundreder har mørke kræfter forsøgt at erobre verden. En lille gruppe mennesker dannede derfor ‘Logen til bekæmpelse af det onde’. Logens stærkeste våben er Logebogen, en bog hvori alle magiske og hemmelige formularer er samlet. Logebogen er skabt af en munk, der brugte hele sit liv på at indsamle magiske formularer i alle afkroge af verden. Dens magi er så stærk, at det vil betyde jordens undergang, hvis den falder i de forkerte hænder. Logen vogter den derfor med stor omhu. Men ondskaben lurer overalt ...

Languages of Iraq, Ancient and Modern J. N. Postgate
ISBN: 978-0903472210 Год издания: 2007 Издательство: The British School of Archaeology in Iraq For all five thousand years of its history, Iraq has been home to a mixture of languages, spoken and written, and the same is true today. In November 2003, to celebrate the country's rich diversity and long history as a centre of civilisation the British School presented a series of talks by experts on each of the major languages of Iraq and their history, and this illustrated volume brings these now to a wider public. Iraq's languages come from different linguistic families - Semitic, Indo-European, and agglutinative languages like Sumerian, Hurrian and Turkish. Some, although long dead, have a prime place in the history of the Old World:…
