Travel and Translation in the Early Modern Period (Approaches to Translation Studies 26) (Approaches to Translation Studies) (Paperback)
by Carmine G. Di Biase (Editor) "This collection of essays explores the various relationships between travel and translation during the early modern period, when both activities flourished..." (more)
Key Phrases: New York, Inca Garcilaso, Paradise Lost (more...)


Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The relationship between travel and translation might seem obvious at first, but to study it in earnest is to discover that it is at once intriguing and elusive. Of course, travelers translate in order to make sense of their new surroundings; sometimes they must translate in order to put food on the table. The relationship between these two human compulsions, however, goes much deeper than this. What gets translated, it seems, is not merely the written or the spoken word, but the very identity of the traveler. These seventeen essays—which treat not only such well-known figures as Martin Luther, Erasmus, Shakespeare, and Milton, but also such lesser known figures as Konrad Grünemberg, Leo Africanus, and Garcilaso de la Vega—constitute the first survey of how this relationship manifests itself in the early modern period. As such, it should be of interest both to scholars who are studying theories of translation and to those who are studying "hodoeporics", or travel and the literature of travel.

Summary: Roget's Super Thesaurus
Rating: 5

An indispensable book for writers and editors. An excellent value for the price.

Dan Fox, Composer and Music editor


Summary: Free SF Reader
Rating: 5

Synonyms = Useful. It doesn't matter what color the cover is, or what edition it is really, as long as you have a big enough version to get enough words into it.

The ability to look up a word and find something similar, or even something opposite, is really very handy.


Summary: A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
Rating: 4

I've been operating with a 1974 Webster New World Thesaurus for over a year now. It was purchased at a garage sale I think and the more I needed it the less I wanted to rely on it. It didn't contain nearly the amount of words I KNEW exisited and I couldn't figure out how this book could call itself a Thesaurus when it didn't even have words like ABATE, ABACK, ABET, JEER, COMMISERATE, just to name a few. I actually did a little jump when I finally recieved my Super Thesaurus in the mail and have used it nearly everyday since. It's a blessing and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I am afraid of the spine cracking allowing pages to become loose and the print is rather tiny (small, diminutive, little, wee, puny, miniture, minute, miniscule, lilliputian, dwarf, pygmy, pint-sized, pocket-sized, teeny, itsy-bitsy, microscopic, infinitesimal) but I''m so excited to have an actual THESAURUS that I just dont care. It's worth the buy people. I PROMISE!


Summary: Super Thesaurus?
Rating: 2

The content is good and it's easy to look up words, however this advantage is lost because the print is too small and the spine breaks immediately with normal use and the pages fall out. I'm not happy with this purchase.


Summary: Where's Roget
Rating: 2

This is just another of many alphabetical thesauruses. The reverse dictionary is a joke. There are reverse dictionary entries (WORD FIND) against a small fraction of words. If you want to look up something you have to guess the word it will be under eg if you need to find out "spontaneous abortion" is called "miscarriage" you need to guess to look under "pregnancy". If you want to find "anorexia nervosa" from "dieting to the point of emaciation" you need to guess it will be under "neurosis". You would do better with one of the better crossword dictionaries.
When the title started with Roget's I expected something taking you from general words to specific words as Roget does, as Glazier in Word Menu does and as is done in WordNet, a free program by Princeton University available on the web. If Roget was still around he would sue. Then to add Superthesaurus makes you really expect something out of the ordinary. The quotations are a waste of time. I have "The Synonym Finder" by Rodale and it has many more synonyms and is a better book.
This book starts with a misleading title and then adds in quotations for some words and WORD FIND for others. It seems to be trying to do many things without any real notion of what it is trying to achieve. It may well be a good book for professional writers but for the average user I would give it a miss. I might not have bought it myself if I was able to view the sample pages. Since Amazon changed to its new "look inside" format my browser closes with a message to send details of the fault to Microsoft.

Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education
By Josué M. González


  * Publisher:  Sage Publications, Inc
  * Number Of Pages:  1056
  * Publication Date:  2008-06-05
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1412937205
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781412937207



Product Description:

The simplest definition of bilingual education is the use of two languages in the teaching of curriculum content in K–12 schools. There is an important difference to keep in mind between bilingual education and the study of foreign languages as school subjects: In bilingual education, two languages are used for instruction, and the goal is academic success in and through the two languages. The traditional model of foreign-language study places the emphasis on the acquisition of the languages themselves.

The field of bilingual education is dynamic and even controversial. The two volumes of this comprehensive, first-stop reference work collect and synthesize the knowledge base that has been well researched and accepted in the United States and abroad while also taking note of how this topic affects schools, research centers, legislative bodies, advocacy organizations, and families. The Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education is embedded in several disciplines, including applied linguistics, politics, civil rights, historical events, and of course, classroom instruction. This work is a compendium of information on bilingual education and related topics in the United States with select international contributors providing global insight onto the field.

Key Features

  * Explores in a comprehensive, non-technical way the intricacies of this subject from multiple perspectives: its history, policy, classroom practice, instructional design, and research bases
  * Shows connections between bilingual education and related subjects, such as linguistics, education equity issues, socio-cultural diversity, and the nature of demographic change in the United States
  * Documents the history of bilingual education in the last half of the 20th century and summarizes its roots in earlier periods
  * Discusses important legislation and litigation documents

Key Themes

· Family, Community, and Society
· History
· Instructional Design
· Languages and Linguistics
· People and Organizations
· Policy Evolution
· Social Science Perspectives
· Teaching and Learning

The Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education is a valuable resource for those who wish to understand the polemics associated with this field as well as its technical details. This will be an excellent addition to any academic library.

English in the Middle Ages
By Tim William Machan


  * Publisher:  Oxford University Press, USA
  * Number Of Pages:  216
  * Publication Date:  2005-07-07
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0199282129
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780199282128



Product Description:

What did people in England in the Middle Ages think about language? What was their view of English, French, and Latin, and how did this influence the way they communicated? This book uses these questions as a basis for a ground-breaking investigation into the use and status of the English language in medieval England. Professor Machan suggests that many linguistic, literary, and historical considerations of medieval statements on language have significantly failed to take into account the social and linguistic contexts of their production. In this volume he explores not only medieval ideas about language but also the discursive traditions which generated them. English in the Middle Ages draws upon a wide range of documentary evidence, including most notably the royal letters issued in 1258 prior to the Barons' War. The author also analyzes the language spoken by Chaucer's pilgrims, theconversations in 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', and many other chronicles, poems, and commentaries. The book concludes with a consideration of the post-medieval history of the status of English in law, literature, and education. The book will interest scholars from a range of disciplines - particularly linguistics, literature, and history - and is written in clear, non-technical language.

Chapter 1 Scotland in Translation The Functions of Translation into Scots To survey the history of translation into Scots is to explore in microcosm the history of Scottish literature and language, and their relationship to Scottish politics, history and social identity. Scots, by contrast, is a language intensely territorial: one unique to a small and well-defined geographical area. It is not necessary to agree with the sweeping generalisation about the homogeneity of English to grant that the choice of Scots is explicity an Venuti argues that the strategy of `transfusing' the source text into the target language has been dominant in English language translation ever since:

PART I— THE COMPUTER MODEL language be "realized" in models of parsing or acquisition, they can be efficiently realized. The parsers map English sentences to syntactic descriptions of those sentences—parse trees. Words are assumed presegmented; the system does not have to learn how to chop up the sound stream into individual tokens. 5 Some have questioned just why a single process model should be made to serve both as a model of language use and as the cornerstone of an acquisition model. Fodor, Bever, and Garrett proposed that the representations (roughly, data structures) might be the same for acquisition and language use

The Exploitation of Meaning: Literary Text and Local Grammars John Sinclair Abstract This paper reviews the position of stylistics in linguistic and literary study, tracing, for the author, the origins of the approach in the 1950s and its relatively low profile recently. An alternative view of the relation between structure and meaning is then offered, and the notion of local grammar is invoked and applied. Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism 1. Introduction When I first went to university, PALA had not been founded and there was no organisation like it.

SECTION 1: CHANGE, LANGUAGE AND SOCIETY AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Introduction The papers in this section address different aspects of the theme from very different angles, and at different levels of analysis; together they demonstrate the breadth of potential contributions that applied linguistics can make to understanding language use and language change in its social context. Meinhof's chapter, 'Dialect as Metaphor', is a detailed investigation into the use of dialect change as a symbol of personal and social change over the period 1918 to 1982, as portrayed in the Heimat films.
