Een boek over de Nederlandse taal voor kinderen en andere mensen. Joke van Leeuwen legt niet alleen uit waarom een buitenboordmotor eenzaam is, maar ook waarom eieren vroeger geen eieren waren, waarom we geen zeventigduizend letters hebben en wat het allerlaatste woord in het Woordenboek der Nederlandse taal nu precies betekent. Kortom : alles wat u als kind al wou vragen over het Nederlands, maar nu met antwoorden.

Wolfgang Wildgen presents three perspectives on the evolution of language as a key element in the evolution of mankind in terms of the development of human symbol use. (1) He approaches this question by constructing possible scenarios in which mechanisms necessary for symbolic behavior could have developed, on the basis of the state of the art in evolutionary anthropology and genetics. (2) Non-linguistic symbolic behavior such as cave art is investigated as an important clue to the developmental background to the origin of language. Creativity and innovation and a population's ability to integrate individual experiments are considered with regard to historical examples of symbolic creativity in the visual arts and natural sciences. (3) Probable linguistic 'fossils' of such linguistic innovations are examined. The results of this study allow for new proposals for a 'protolanguage' and for a theory of language within a broader philosophical and semiotic framework, and raises interesting questions as to human consciousness, universal grammar, and linguistic methodology. (Series B).

This is a comprehensive and wide-ranging 2002 guide to language and society in South Africa. As the authors demonstrate, the South African context offers a treasure trove of data and examples for linguistic and sociolinguistic study. The book surveys the most important language groupings in the region in terms of pre-colonial and colonial history; contact between the different language varieties, leading to language loss, pidginization, creolization and new mixed varieties; language and public policy issues associated with the transition to a post-apartheid society and its eleven official languages. It details the history of indigenous languages, the impact of European languages upon them, and of transformations to the European languages themselves. Written by a team of leading researchers, all the chapters are informed by the importance of socio-political history in understanding questions of language. The book will be welcomed by students and researchers in language and linguistics, sociology, anthropology and social history.

Norbert Aujoulat est responsable du département d’art pariétal au Centre National de la préhistoire à Périgueux (ministère de la Culture et de la Communication/ sous-direction de l’Archéologie). L’analyse descriptive d’une peinture ou d’une gravure préhistorique reposant en partie sur sa reproduction, le transfert de l’image implique donc une méthodologie spécifique et un matériel parfaitement adapté. Ce travail est à la fois une synthèse des travaux antérieurs relatifs aux techniques de relevé et le résultat de plusieurs années de recherches personnelles concernant en particulier l’enregistrement photographique des données et leur traitement en laboratoire par ordinateur. Conçu dans un esprit très didactique, il se présente comme un véritable manuel, indispensable à toute recherche dans le domaine de l’art pariétal. Norbert Aujoulat is head of the cave art section at the National Prehistory Centre in Perigueux (Ministry of Culture and Communication/Department of Archaeology). The descriptive analysis of a prehistoric painting or engraving depends, to a great extent, on its reproduction, which, in its turn, depends on a specific methodology and appropriate material. This book is a synthesis of earlier work dealing with reproduction techniques and is also the result of several years of personal research into the photographic recording of data and their Processing by computer in the laboratory. Highly didactic, it is intended as a practical manual, indispensable for any research in the field of cave art.
