Abstract

In this beautifully illustrated and closely argued book, a completely updated and much expanded third edition of his magisterial survey, Curl describes in lively and stimulating prose the numerous revivals of the Egyptian style from Antiquity to the present day. Drawing on a wealth of sources, his pioneering and definitive work analyzes the remarkable and persistent influence of Ancient Egyptian culture on the West.The author deftly develops his argument that the civilization of Ancient Egypt is central, rather than peripheral, to the development of much of Western architecture, art,

Abstract

The theoretical issues addressed in the present volume are semantic and cognitive properties of reciprocal events, syntactic properties of reciprocals, and the relationship of reciprocals to other grammatical categories. Several papers discuss the history of reciprocal constructions, offering alternative hypotheses regarding the grammaticalization of reciprocals. The formal, functional, typological and historical approaches in the present volume complement each other, contributing together to the understanding of forms, and syntactic and semantic properties of reciprocal markers. Several papers in the present volume make a double contribution to the problems of reciprocal constructions: they provide new descriptive data and they address theoretical issues at the same time. The languages discussed include: English, Dutch, German, Greek, Polish, Nyulnyulan (Australia), Amharic(Ethio-Semitic), Bilin (Cushitic), Chadic languages, Bantu, Halkomelem (Salishan), Mandarin, Yukaghir and a number of Oceanic languages. The volume also includes a study of grammaticalization of reciprocals andreflexives in African languages.

Abstract

The importance of reflexive markers in the study of language structure cannot be underestimated: they participate in the coding of the argument structure of a clause; in the coding of semantic relations between arguments and verbs; in the coding of the relationship between arguments; in the coding of aspect; in the coding of point of view; and in the Coding of the information structure of a clause.The present volume offers an approach to reflexive forms and functions from several perspectives: a formal approach where reflexives are discussed within a well-defined model of language representation; a typological approach; a historical approach concentrating on grammaticalization of reflexives and on the changes that pronouns and anaphors undergo; and a functionalist approach where functions of reflexive forms are described. The languages from which data were drawn represent a wide variety of language families and language types: English, Old English, Dutch, German, Tsakhur (Nakh-Dagestanian), Spanish, French, Bantu and Chadic languages. The variety of languages discussed and the different approaches taken complement each other in that each contributes an important piece to the understanding of reflexives in a cross-linguistic perspective.

Abstract

Née dans les Iles Britanniques au début du XVIIIe siècle, la franc-maçonnerie moderne se donne rapidement des lieux de réunions discrets qui, à ce jour, n'ont été que peu étudiés dans le cadre de l'histoire de l'architecture. La construction d'un temple maçonnique, modeste ou spectaculaire, répond en réalité à un programme symbolique très codifié qui prend comme référence mythique le temple de Salomon à Jérusalem et s'élabore à partir d'un rituel complexe, puisant à de nombreux courants spirituels. Du temple égyptien ou assyrien à la tradition classique conçue comme un modèle idéal et universel, de la cathédrale médiévale au modernisme, la loge offre un éventail de références exceptionnellement large. Chaque pays, chaque obédience, chacun des courants maçonniques, contribuent à créer un panorama architectural d'une fascinante richesse. http://www.eyrolles.com/Loisirs/Livre/architectures-maconniques-9782871431688(14/09/10)

Abstract

Gateways provides a forum for academics, practitioners and community representatives to pursue issues and reflect on practices related to interactions between tertiary institutions and community organizations; academic interventions in community; community-based projects with links to the tertiary sector; and community initiatives. The journal publishes evaluative case studies of community engagement initiatives, analyses of the policy environment and theoretical reflections that contribute to the scholarship of engagement. It publishes both refereed and unrefereed articles. The journal addresses community engagement occurring across scholarly disciplines and at all levels of community including: capacity building initiatives in diverse communities from young people, older people, people with a disability, Indigenous communities and culturally diverse to interfaith communities; health promotion and capacity building; community cultural development (CCD); rural regeneration; housing and neighbourhood renewal; information technology (IT) and public participation; collaborative design and community safety; the environment and natural resource management; corporate social responsibility; social enterprise and social entrepreneurship; and triple bottom line accounting (measuring economic, environmental and social outcomes). The journal also aims to engage academics and policymakers more fully with the concerns of the community and community engagement. It also seeks to articulate creative tensions between theory and practice. Community engagement seeks to promote institutional change in the ways in which community, universities and government see themselves and their partnerships. There is also an imperative to promote the value of research that is driven by need as much as curiosity. Gateways will explore these vital concerns for the enhancement of Community Engagement in its many forms.
