This book is the first volume of a study of the Latin word "forma." Although "forma" is an important word in the Latin lexicon, it has never been thoroughly studied, since most work on this word has been limited to an author or an area of vocabulary. The goal of this study is to present an in-depth study of "forma" that uses the methods of modern semantic analysis, in particular semic analysis.

In A Conceptual History of Chinese -Isms , Ivo Spira explores the linguistic and rhetorical development of Chinese -isms, as well as the key concept zhǔyì 主義 ('ism') itself. He argues that the introduction of this concept from Japan in the 1890's inaugurated an 'Age of -Isms', in which it served as a conceptual focus for the stereotypical categorization of people and the utopian imagination of the future. The book focuses on Chinese -isms in the formative period (1895–1925) through a close reading of key primary sources, covering linguistic, conceptual, and rhetorical aspects of their use in ideological reasoning. Spira emphasizes the combination of internal (traditional) and external (Western and Japanese) factors in the emergence of Chinese -isms.
