The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages

This book revises Halliday's framework on information structure, challenging its foundations and proposing an updated model that reflects language as a complex social semiotic practice.

Global Literature

Global Literature and the Digital analyses the continued impact of the digital revolution upon contemporary literature. From the vantage of the 2020s, global literature possesses a digital sensibility where reality and perceptions are shaped by digital saturation and global networks. Time becomes on-demand and space seems to contract as we engage beyond national borders.The book explores the influence of the digital: from the emergence of digital culture in the 1990s amid mediatization and interactivity, to the predominance of social media platforms in the 2000s and the rise of screen surveillance, to the more inclusive internet of the 2010s where digitally shared literatures promote 'influencer' writers from the Global South, shrinking the digital divide, to the 2020s, where post-digital norms render users complaisant to digital exploitation and the new crisis of AI. It discusses literature from over 30 countries across diverse literary forms including novels, poetry, nonfiction, blog fiction, AI-generated texts, videogames, and more.As society struggles to process the rapid changes borne of our digital realities, Global Literature and the Digital asks whether nostalgia and distain for globalization hinders our potential to imagine a positive digitally enabled globalism, that calls for regulation, global justice, and solidarity. This comprehensive resource is an essential read for students and researchers of globalization, global literature, and digital humanities.

Global Literature and the Digital

In his training as a spy, Ro was warned: you will always be living a lie. Jumping into a Star Eater's mind in the first place requires a moment of perfect psychic connection, and he has studied all his life to comprehend their species. Admires them, respects them, is reverent at the idea of being one of them-the only species physiologically capable of mining the element needed for lightyearspanning space travel. The species all others crave to know more of, but who have notoriously shared so very little. The species Ro's own small civilization, with its dwindling resources and withering reach, needs to know more about. It will feel real, his elders impressed upon him. It will never be real. But Ro's certainty runs deep: he will be different. Ro will not be an imposter hiding the truth of his past, because his heart will be one of them. He will be one of them. To understand is to become. It never occurs to him that the mere act of understanding can destroy.

Babel meets Arrival with spies in Hugo Award-winning author S. L. Huang's sharp and poignant space fantasy adventure with language-based magic.

This tried and tested book provides practical guidance with specific writing samples and guidelines for producing strong reports in criminal justice-related professions. It addresses many facets of written communication in criminal justice, from police and security officer reports, to investigative findings, probation or parole reports, and other corrections forms, and forensic or scientific documentation. Criminal justice professionals often spend a large portion of their worktime writing reports. The information provided in these reports is crucial to the functioning of the justice system. Many law enforcement, security, corrections, and probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports. This book covers everything officers need to learn from basic English grammar to the difficult but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold up in court. This new edition includes coverage of technological advances and potential uses of artificial intelligence in digital and electronic report writing. This book is suitable for undergraduates across the Criminal Justice curriculum as well as for police academies and other criminal justice training venues.

Lingüística Misionera

Se edita aquí una gramática de la lengua guaraní del siglo XVIII conservada en sendos manuscritos, uno de la Biblioteca Jagiellon¿ska de la Universidad de Cracovia (perdido hasta hace poco) y otro de la Thüringer Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (THULB) de Jena. Y en Roma Lorenzo Hervás, Elementi grammaticali della lingua Guarani. Su autor, Francisco Legal, es un jesuita nacido en Asunción, con conocimientos lingüísticos que, aun en la línea de la tradición de la lingüística misionera, son propios de un nativo que tiene conciencia lingüística de su propio idioma, el guaraní, que conoce con la competencia que le da el uso de la lengua materna. Este libro va dirigido sobre todo a conocedores y especialistas en guaraní, estudiosos de su tipología y de su diacronía; pero Legal ha sabido seleccionar lo más útil de la lengua guaraní, por lo que sirve también para iniciarse en este idioma.

The Visual Elements

For anyone interested in visual communication, a training guide for evaluating and developing visual representations for the big ideas in science and technology, essential skills for journal submissions, grant applications, and public understanding. &gt;Like in her other books in the Visual Elements series, on photography and design, Frankel asks readers to evaluate different choices--for example, in conveying the uncertainty of a hurricane's path or the organization of the Standard Model for elementary particles. But in Abstraction, she offers more. With examples from science, engineering, and beyond, the book helps readers consider and evaluate the visuals around them and determine how they work and when they fail: Is this representation the best for communication? Will these abstractions encourage others to engage with my work? Will they mislead? Will they help my ideas evolve? Frankel invites researchers to think about the many meanings behind their images--and, in turn, to think more deeply about their research.

Semiotics, Communication and Cognition

There are many theories of meaning. Most of them are descriptive and do not answer the question of what meaning is and how and why it arises. This book answers these questions. To paraphrase Leibniz's famous phrase, it asks why there is meaning rather than nothing. Its originality lies in showing that meaning comes from the senses, and so it emphasises the bodiliness of semiosis, making use of advances in the cognitive sciences, in a unified theoretical framework in which meaning emerges from the physical world. This all-encompassing vision has been made possible because the author - who is not an isolated person but a collective - has a long history of interdisciplinary work.&nbsp;Groupe µ is a leading research team based at the University of Liège (Belgium). For over fifty years, it has been at the forefront of transdisciplinary work in rhetoric, semiotics and the theory of communication, whether linguistic or visual. From Rhétorique Générale (1970), a classic translated into some twenty languages and hailed by the journal Sciences humaines as one of the most important books of the twentieth century, to Nouveau traité du signe visuel (2026), which provides a general grammar of the image, whether figurative or not, its collectively authored works have all represented decisive advances for these disciplines.
