Doelstelling: Op conferenties gebeurt het soms dat de tolk de spreker niet goed kan zien. In deze scriptie wordt aan de hand van een vergelijkende studie nagegaan wat het belang van nonverbale communicatie is, voor de semantische/pragmatische output van een tolkprestatie. Middelen of methode: Met een periode van twee maanden tussen de vertolkingen werd een tekst die in het Engels gesproken werd, twee keer getolkt naar het Nederlands door één en dezelfde tolk. De eerste keer kon de tolk de spreker niet zien, de tweede keer wel. De verschillen tussen de prestaties en de brontekst werden ingedeeld in: toevoegingen (nieuwe informatie, explicitering, voegwoorden), weglatingen (verdwenen informatie, implicitering, voegwoorden), veranderingen (voegwoorden, andere) en herhalingen (inclusief versprekingen en aarzelingen). Beide vertolkingen werden aan deze indeling getoetst en daarna met elkaar vergeleken. Resultaten: Uit de analyse bleek dat de tweede vertolking semantisch beter aansloot bij de brontekst dan de eerste: er werd minder informatie weggelaten, toegevoegd of veranderd. Ook werden er minder versprekingen, herhalingen en aarzelingen gemaakt. Zicht hebben van de spreker had daarentegen weinig of geen invloed op het gebruikte aantal impliciteringen en expliciteringen en het gebruik van voegwoorden.

The aim of this monograph is to give a self-contained introduction to the modern theory of finite transformation semigroups with a strong emphasis on concrete examples and combinatorial applications. It covers the following topics on the examples of the three classical finite transformation semigroups: transformations and semigroups, ideals and Green's relations, subsemigroups, congruences, endomorphisms, nilpotent subsemigroups, presentations, actions on sets, linear representations, cross-sections and variants. The book contains many exercises and historical comments and is directed, first of all, to both graduate and postgraduate students looking for an introduction to the theory of transformation semigroups, but should also prove useful to tutors and researchers.

The definition of Rouquier for the families of characters introduced by Lusztig for Weyl groups in terms of blocks of the Hecke algebras has made possible the generalization of this notion to the case of complex reflection groups. The aim of this book is to study the blocks and to determine the families of characters for all cyclotomic Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection groups. This volume offers a thorough study of symmetric algebras, covering topics such as block theory, representation theory and Clifford theory, and can also serve as an introduction to the Hecke algebras of complex reflection groups.

A Course on Finite Groups introduces the fundamentals of group theory to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Based on a series of lecture courses developed by the author over many years, the book starts with the basic definitions and examples and develops the theory to the point where a number of classic theorems can be proved. The topics covered include: group constructions; homomorphisms and isomorphisms; actions; Sylow theory; products and Abelian groups; series; nilpotent and soluble groups; and an introduction to the classification of the finite simple groups. A number of groups are described in detail and the reader is encouraged to work with one of the many computer algebra packages available to construct and experience "actual" groups for themselves in order to develop a deeper understanding of the theory and the significance of the theorems. Numerous problems, of varying levels of difficulty, help to test understanding. A brief resumé of the basic set theory and number theory required for the text is provided in an appendix, and a wealth of extra resources is available online at www.springer.com, including: hints and/or full solutions to all of the exercises; extension material for many of the chapters, covering more challenging topics and results for further study; and two additional chapters providing an introduction to group representation theory.

This monograph is the first devoted exclusively to the development of the theory of numerical semigroups. In this concise, self-contained text, graduate students and researchers will benefit from this broad exposition of the topic. Key features of "Numerical Semigroups" include: - Content ranging from the basics to open research problems and the latest advances in the field; - Exercises at the end of each chapter that expand upon and support the material; - Emphasis on the computational aspects of the theory; algorithms are presented to provide effective calculations; - Many examples that illustrate the concepts and algorithms; - Presentation of various connections between numerical semigroups and number theory, coding theory, algebraic geometry, linear programming, and commutative algebra would be of significant interest to researchers. "Numerical Semigroups" is accessible to first year graduate students, with only a basic knowledge of algebra required, giving the full background needed for readers not familiar with the topic. Researchers will find the tools presented useful in producing examples and counterexamples in other fields such as algebraic geometry, number theory, and linear programming.
