Das Wissen vom Guten
Authors: van Ackeren Marcel 
Published: December 2013

This analysis of the relation between virtue and knowledge focuses on the following aspects: i) Virtue and Happiness can be objects of knowledge; ii) Virtue is knowledge; iii) The search for knowledge is aiming at – and justified by – the human to be happy. Plato therefore defines philosophy not as theory but as the search for wisdom in order to live well. Accordingly Plato does not distinguish different or independent branches of philosophy.
These conclusions are reached by an investigation, which traces the continuity and the development of the relation between virtue and knowledge throughout the different phases in Plato’s philosophy. The leading thesis of this book is unitarian, but in order to corroborate it the methodology is used of those scholars who think that Plato’s philosophy has changed significantly through the dialogic phase. This way, it can be shown that Plato kept developing new justifications for the same relation between virtue and knowledge.
Diese Untersuchung der Beziehung von Tugend und Wissen konzentriert sich auf folgende Aspekte: i) Sowohl Tugend als auch Wissen können erkannt werden; ii) Tugend ist Wissen; iii) Die Wissenssuche wird durch das Glücksstreben finalisiert. Daher bestimmt Platon Philosophie nicht als Theorie, sondern als Suche nach der Weisheit, um glücklich zu leben. Entsprechend unterscheidet Platon keine Teilbereiche der Philosophie, die unabhängige Ziele verfolgen.
Diese Schlussfolgerungen werden erreicht durch eine Untersuchung, die die Kontinuität und Entwicklung der Beziehung von Tugend und Wissen durch die verschiedenen Phasen in der Platonischen Philosophie verfolgt. Die leitende These ist unitarisch, aber um sie zu bestätigen wird die Methode derjenigen verwandt, die annehmen, die Platonische Philosophie hätte sich in durch die Dialogphasen wesentlich entwickelt. So kann gezeigt werden, dass Platon immer neue Begründungen für dieselbe Beziehung von Tugend und Wissen entwickelt hat.
Gedanken als Wirkursachen
Authors: Renemann Michael 
Published: December 2013

Francisco Suárez (1548–1617) sieht es als Problem an, dass nach dem traditionellen Modell der Kunstproduktion der Gedanke immer nur als Vorkonzeption und damit auf sehr vermittelte Weise in das Kunstwerk eingeht. Entsprechend wäre auch die Analyse von geistigen Hervorbringungen immer ein Prozess, bei dem die Gedanken als etwas hinter dem Gesagten Liegendes rekonstruiert werden müssten. Suárez verwirft dieses auf Nachahmung beruhende Modell und verwendet die Unterscheidung zwischen dem Denkakt – verstanden als "Blick des Geistes" – und dem gedachten Inhalt, um ein ganz neues Modell zu entwickeln. Für ihn ist es die Aufmerksamkeit des Malers, die den Pinsel führt und die so dafür sorgt, dass eine anfangs noch leere formale Repräsentation sich anfüllt.
Während die Innovation von Suárez zunächst keinen Widerhall findet, könnte sie ein Fundament sein für viel spätere Weisen, die Kunst aufzufassen, z. B. für die formalistische Schule der Kunstgeschichte oder für einen Künstler wie Paul Klee, der sagt: "Kunst gibt nicht das Sichtbare wieder, sondern macht sichtbar."
Francisco Suárez (1548–1617) considers it to be problematic that, according to the traditional model of art production, thought only enters a piece of art obliquely, as preconception. Consequently, any analysis of mental creations would have to be a process whereby thoughts are reconstructed as something that lies behind that which is being said. Suárez rejects this imitation-based model and uses the distinction between act of thought – considered as "focus of the mind" – and the cognized content to develop a completely new model. For him, it is the artist's attention which guides the brush and which thus causes the initially empty representation to be filled.
While Suárez's innovation hardly received any immediate reaction, it can be considered as a foundation for later approaches to art, e.g. for the formalistic school of art history or for an artist like Paul Klee, who says: "Art does not reproduce what is visible, but rather produces visibility".
Sprache und Metaphysik
Authors: Tsopurashvili Tamar 
Published: December 2013

Die vorliegende Studie zielt darauf ab, die Metaphysik Meister Eckharts auf systematische Weise darzustellen und das gemeinsame Fundament zu ermitteln, das anzeigt, dass seine spekulativen lateinischen wie auch seine von bildhaften Ausdrucksweisen geprägten deutschen Schriften inhaltlich miteinander vereinbar sind. Das Innovative dieser Studie manifestiert sich darin, dass dieser Versuch der Systematisierung anhand des mittelalterlichen Sprachmodells mit seinen Prädikationsstruktur aufweisenden Sätzen, die zugleich die Grundthesen der Eckhart’schen Metaphysik bilden, vorgenommen wird. Die Prädikation ist gemäß der Inhärenz- oder der Identitätstheorie zu verstehen, dies bei variierendem Satzsinn. Das zeitigt wichtige Folgen für Eckharts Gottesverständnis und seine spezifische Haltung gegenüber der negativen Theologie. Schließlich wird ermittelt, welche Auswirkung die Prädikation auf die Grundsätze seiner Metaphysik besitzt, einer Metaphysik, die, wie exemplarisch gezeigt wird, auch für seine deutschen Schriften konstitutiv ist.
This study aims to present Meister Eckhart’s metaphysics in a systematic way and to identify the common basis that makes apparent that his speculative Latin works and his German works, which are full of pictorial expressions, are compatible with each other. The innovative approach of this study lies in its attempt of systematization on the basis of the medieval theories of language. This approach identifies different ways of understanding Meister Eckhart’s key predicative propositions, which are the main theses of his metaphysics. Predication can be understood according to the theories of inherence, or identity, resulting in different meanings of the same sentence. This has great impact on Meister Eckhart’s concept of God and his attitude toward negative theology. The book shows in great detail how predication is at the root of understanding the main theses of Meister Eckhart’s metaphysics, which – as is exemplarily demonstrated – is also constitutive for his German works.
Fundamental Aspects of Interpreter Education
Authors: Sawyer David B. 
Published: December 2013

The author offers an overview of the Interpreting Studies literature on curriculum and assessment. A discussion of curriculum definitions, foundations, and guidelines suggests a framework based upon scientific and humanistic approaches – curriculum as process and as interaction. Language testing concepts are introduced and related to interpreting. By exploring means of integrating valid and reliable assessment into the curriculum, the author breaks new ground in this under-researched area.
Case studies of degree examinations provide sample data on pass/fail rates, test criteria, and text selection. A curriculum model is outlined as a practical example of synthesis, flexibility, and streamlining.
This volume will appeal to interpretation and translation instructors, program administrators, and language industry professionals seeking a discussion of the theoretical and practical aspects of curriculum and assessment theory. This book also presents a new area of application for curriculum and language testing specialists.
From Case to Adposition
Authors: Hewson John , Bubenik Vit 
Published: December 2013

In the historical development of many languages of the IE phylum the loss of inflectional morphology led to the development of a configurational syntax, where syntactic position marked syntactic role. The first of these configurations was the adposition (preposition or postposition), which developed out of the uninflected particle/preverbs in the older forms of IE, by forming fixed phrases with nominal elements, a pattern later followed in the development of a configurational NP (article + nominal) and VP (auxiliary + verbal).
The authors follow this evolution through almost four thousand years of documentation in all twelve language families of the Indo-European phylum, noting the resemblances between the structure of the original IE case system and the systemic oppositions to be found in the sets of adpositions that replaced it.
Quite apart from its theoretical analyses and proposals which in themselves amount to a new look at many traditional problems, this study has a value in the collected store of information on cases, and on adpositions and their usage. There is also a considerable store of etymological information that is relevant to the description of the systemic development.
Lexical Meaning in Dialogic Language Use
Authors: Feller Sebastian 
Published: December 2013

Lexical Meaning in Dialogic Language Use addresses a number of central issues in the field of lexical semantics. Starting off from an action-theoretical view of communication meaning is defined as something that speakers do in dialogic language use. Meaning as ‘meaning-in-use’ opens up a new perspective on a number of aspects: how can we define the lexical unit? What about the make-up of the meaning side? Does polysemy really exist? And is encyclopaedic information to be fully integrated into the lexicon?
These questions are examined along the analyses of authentic lexical material from corpora. At the end exemplary lexical entries represent both the expression and meaning side of the analyzed material, providing incentive not only for theory but also for practical applications like foreign language teaching, lexicography, translational studies, and so forth.
This book will appeal to anyone interested in language use and meaning and understanding especially.
Multiple Analogies in Science and Philosophy
Authors: Shelley Cameron 
Published: December 2013

A multiple analogy is a structured comparison in which several sources are likened to a target. In Multiple analogies in science and philosophy, Shelley provides a thorough account of the cognitive representations and processes that participate in multiple analogy formation. Through analysis of real examples taken from the fields of evolutionary biology, archaeology, and Plato's Republic, Shelley argues that multiple analogies are not simply concatenated single analogies but are instead the general form of analogical inference, of which single analogies are a special case. The result is a truly general cognitive model of analogical inference.
Shelley also shows how a cognitive account of multiple analogies addresses important philosophical issues such as the confidence that one may have in an analogical explanation, and the role of analogy in science and philosophy.
This book lucidly demonstrates that important questions regarding analogical inference cannot be answered adequately by consideration of single analogies alone.
Armenian
Authors: Dum-Tragut Jasmine 
Published: December 2013

This grammar of Modern Eastern Armenian gives a precise and explicit description of the Eastern Armenian language of the Republic of Armenia. It covers not only the normative tradition but, more importantly, also describes the colloquial language as it is used in Armenia today. With regard to methodological approach and terminology it fully meets the demands of modern general linguistics and typology.
This grammar will be of interest not only to the specialised readership of descriptive and comparative linguists, of typologists and of armenologists, but to all those who would like to acquaint themselves with linguistic data from living Armenian. It will also be of use to students wishing to learn Modern Eastern Armenian and to lecturers in Modern Eastern Armenian language courses.
Memory-Based Parsing
Authors: Kübler Sandra 
Published: December 2013

Memory-Based Learning (MBL), one of the most influential machine learning paradigms, has been applied with great success to a variety of NLP tasks. This monograph describes the application of MBL to robust parsing. Robust parsing using MBL can provide added functionality for key NLP applications, such as Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, and Question Answering, by facilitating more complex syntactic analysis than is currently available. The text presupposes no prior knowledge of MBL. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the framework and goes on to describe and compare applications of MBL to parsing. Since parsing is not easily characterizable as a classification task, adaptations of standard MBL are necessary. These adaptations can either take the form of a cascade of local classifiers or of a holistic approach for selecting a complete tree.
The text provides excellent course material on MBL. It is equally relevant for any researcher concerned with symbolic machine learning, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, and Question Answering.
Getting Things Done at Work
Authors: Vine Bernadette 
Published: December 2013

The linguistic study of workplace language is a new and exciting area of research. This book explores the expression of power in a New Zealand workplace through examination of 52 everyday interactions between four women and their colleagues. The main focus of this research is the expression of three types of "control acts", i.e., directives, requests and advice. The women include two managers who demonstrate an interactive participative style of management. They tend to minimise rather than exert power, although their status is still evident in their speech.
The study is original in its combination of a quantitative and a qualitative approach, as well as in its combination of a detailed categorisation of head acts and an analysis of context and role relationships. Through the design of the study and the methodology used, the results which are brought forward challenge earlier research both on power and control acts. The data analyzed is drawn from the Wellington Language in the Workplace Project.
Collaborating towards Coherence
Authors: Tanskanen Sanna-Kaisa 
Published: December 2013

This book approaches cohesion and coherence from a perspective of interaction and collaboration. After a detailed account of various models of cohesion and coherence, the book suggests that it is fruitful to regard cohesion as contributing to coherence, as a strategy used by communicators to help their fellow communicators create coherence from a text. Throughout the book, the context-sensitive and discourse-specific nature of cohesion is stressed: cohesive relations are created and interpreted in particular texts in particular contexts.
By investigating the use of cohesion in four different types of discourse, the study shows that cohesion is not uniform across discourse types. The analysis reveals that written dialogue (computer-mediated discussions) and spoken monologue (prepared speech) make use of similar cohesive strategies as spoken dialogue (conversations): in these contexts the communicators’ interaction with their fellow communicators leads to a similar outcome. The book suggests that this is an indication of the communicators’ attempt to collaborate towards successful communication.
Codeswitching on the Web
Authors: Hinrichs Lars 
Published: December 2013

Based on a corpus of private email from Jamaican university students, this study explores the discourse functions of Jamaican Creole in computer-mediated communication. From this participant-centered perspective, it contributes to the longstanding theoretical debates in creole studies about the creole continuum. The book will likewise be useful to students of computer-mediated communication, the use and development of non-standardized languages, language ecology, and codeswitching.
The central methodological issue in this study is codeswitching in written language, a neglected area of study at the moment since most literature in codeswitching research is based on spoken data. The three analytical chapters present the data in a critical discussion of established and more recent theoretical approaches to codeswitching.
Fields that will benefit from this book include interactional sociolinguistics, creole studies, English as a world language, computer-mediated discourse analysis, and linguistic anthropology.
Pragmatic Meaning and Cognition
Authors: Marmaridou Sophia 
Published: December 2013

This book provides a good overview of philosophical and cognitive approaches to language use and meaning. A synthesis of such approaches leads to a dynamic concept of pragmatic meaning which is on the one hand grounded in cognition and motivated by linguistic and cultural convention and, on the other, creates a framework for studying the interactive and social dimensions of the development of meaning in linguistic communication. Through an experientialist approach based on connectionist models, the author shows that by internalizing pragmatic meaning people become social agents who reproduce, challenge or change their social parameters during interaction.
Pragmatic Meaning and Cognition is suitable as a course book in Pragmatics and Semantics and of interest to those concerned with cognitive models and dynamic and social aspects of linguistic communication.
Expressing the Same by the Different
Authors: Dreer Igor 
Published: December 2013

This volume offers an alternative, sign-oriented analysis of the distribution of the French Indicative and Subjunctive. It rejects both government and functions, attributed to both moods, and shows that the distribution of the Indicative and the Subjunctive is motivated by their invariant meanings. The volume illustrates the close interaction between the Indicative and the Subjunctive, as linguistic signs, and signs of other grammatical systems, contextually associated with the invariant meanings of both moods. Special consideration is given to the use of the Indicative and the Subjunctive in texts of different styles and genres.
This volume also deals with the diachronic disfavoring of the Subjunctive and especially of the Imperfect Subjunctive that occurred from Old French to Contemporary French. It is argued that this disfavoring was motivated by the narrowing of the invariant meaning of the Contemporary French Subjunctive. All hypotheses are supported by contextualized examples and frequency counts.
Selves in Two Languages
Authors: Koven Michèle 
Published: December 2013

Bilinguals often report that they feel like a different person in their two languages. In the words of one bilingual in Koven’s book, “When I speak Portuguese, automatically, I'm in a different world…it's a different color.” Although testimonials like this abound in everyday conversation among bilinguals, there has been scant systematic investigation of this intriguing phenomenon. Focusing on French-Portuguese bilinguals, the adult children of Portuguese migrants in France, this book provides an empirically grounded, theoretical account of how the same speakers enact, experience, and are perceived by others to have different identities in their two languages.
This book explores bilinguals’ experiences and expressions of identity in multicultural, multilingual contexts. It is distinctive in its integration of multiple levels of analysis to address the relationships between language and identity. Koven links detailed attention to discourse form, to participants’ multiple interpretations how such forms become signs of identity, and to the broader macrosociolinguistic contexts that structure participants’ access to those signs. The study of how bilinguals perform and experience different identities in their two languages sheds light on the more general role of linguistic and cultural forms in local experiences and expressions of identity.
Assessment of the Risk of White Sturgeon to become Infected and Potential Carriers of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus
Authors: LaPatra Scott E. , Mead Sherry 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Little scientific information is available to assess whether White Sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus can become infected and potential carriers of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). To assess this risk, monitoring results of adult and progeny White Sturgeon were examined from waters historically stocked with salmonid fish known to be IPNV carriers. From 1999 through 2004 White Sturgeon from a total of 30 separate families whose parentage came from waters historically stocked with IPNV carrier fish were tested. Duplicate groups of 25 juvenile Snake River White Sturgeon were waterborne exposed to 1.0×104 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50)/mL of water for 1 h and an additional group was injected intraperitoneally with 1.0×105 TCID50/fish. A negative control group was handled similarly but was not exposed to the virus. No morbidity was detected in any of the treatment groups or the negative control. At 34, 40, 47, and 54 d postexposure to IPNV, virus reisolation was attempted on five fish from each group, and an additional five fish from each group were examined for histological changes consistent with an IPNV infection. At 34 and 40 d postinjection with IPNV, 20% (one of five) of the fish tested positive for the virus per sample interval; however, fish from groups that were waterborne-exposed to IPNV were all negative. At 47 and 54 d after exposure or injection with IPNV an additional five fish from each group were tested at each sample interval and all results were negative. Histological analysis of target tissue obtained from five fish per group at 34 and 54 d postinfection also failed to detect any consistent change associated with an IPNV infection. These results suggest that the risk of White Sturgeon to become infected and develop into potential carriers of IPNV is negligible.

A Cross-Sectional Study of the Association between Risk Factors and Hemorrhagic Disease of Grass Carp in Ponds in Southern China
Authors: Yang Song , Wu Shuqin , Li Ningqiu , Shi Cunbin , Deng Guocheng , Wang Qing , Zeng Weiwei , Lin Qiang 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
A cross-sectional survey of 215 Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella ponds was conducted in southern China between May 2010 and November 2011. An in-depth questionnaire was developed to evaluate a series of biosecurity practices, environmental factors, and management factors at the farm level. Fish samples with clinical hemorrhagic signs were also collected from each pond to assess the clinical disease of Grass Carp reovirus by using reverse transcription (RT) PCR assay. The association between the incidence of Grass Carp hemorrhagic disease (GCHD) and risk factors was analyzed using logistic regression. Of the 215 ponds, 144 showed GCHD-positive responses to RT–PCR assay. In addition, survey results revealed that inferior environmental conditions occurred in most ponds with an incidence of GCHD; such conditions included a thick mud layer; no cleansing and restoration practices (CRPs) before culture; and poor water quality (i.e., high ammonia nitrogen and nitrite concentrations and low transparency). Logistic regression model results suggested that decreased risks were associated with fry vaccination, a safe water source, and deepening of the water level, whereas increased risk factors mainly included no CRPs, excessive rearing density, disease history, and inferior water quality. Presently, control efforts are restricted to immunization of Grass Carp as the best management option for farms. Deepening the water levels and improving water sources can also effectively reduce the incidence of GCHD by diluting the pond rearing densities.
