Dil ile düsünüs tarzi arasindaki baglanti, dilbilimcileri uzun zamandir mesgul eden bir mesele. Diller zihne birtakim kisitlamalar getirir mi Bir kavramin bir dildeki varligi ya da yoklugu, o dili konusanlarin bu kavrami anlama yetisini nasil etkiler Her kavram her dilde ifade edilebilir mi Farkli diller dünyaya dair farkli algilar mi yaratir Bir toplumun diliyle kültürü arasinda nasil bir iliski vardir Bütün diller esit karmasiklikta midir Di...

Fast so alt wie die Sprache, diese größte "Erfindung" der Menschheit, scheint die Rede von ihrem Niedergang zu sein. Doch die gleichen Kräfte, die ihren Verfall befeuern, haben die beispiellose Entwicklung der Sprache überhaupt möglich gemacht. Klug, ungeheuer kenntnisreich und voller Witz vermittelt Guy Deutscher die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Linguistik und be-schreibt, wie alltägliche Gewohnheiten die eindrucksvollsten Sprachstrukturen hervo...

How new are the high Tc superconductors, as compared to the conventional low Tc ones? In what sense are these oxides different from regular metals in their normal state? This book aims to provide answers to these questions, drawing particularly on similarities between the high Tc oxides and granular superconductors.

Ich spreche Spanisch zu Gott, Italienisch zu den Frauen, Französisch zu den Männern und Deutsch zu meinem Pferd.» Was ist aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht dran an der Vermutung Karls V., dass verschiedene Sprachen nicht in allen Situationen gleich gut zu gebrauchen sind? Prägt die Sprache die Weltwahrnehmung oder umgekehrt? Und inwieweit sieht die Welt, wenn sie «durch die Brille» einer anderen Sprache gesehen wird, anders aus? Der israelisch-eng...

Akkadian, an ancient Semitic language spoken in Assyria and Babylonia, is one of the earliest known languages, with a surviving written history from 2500BC to 500BC. Guy Deutscher investigates its development over these two millennia. He shows that changes in the language can be linked to the emergence of complex patterns of communication required by an increasingly sophisticated civilization. His book will interest specialists and general lin...

Klug, ungeheuer kenntnisreich und voller Witz vermittelt Guy Deutscher die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Linguistik. Er beschreibt, wie alltägliche Gewohnheiten die eindrucksvollsten Sprachstrukturen hervor- und auch wieder zu Fall bringen. Und nebenbei beantwortet er in diesem Buch auch noch Fragen wie: Warum haben die meisten Sprachen kein Verb für «haben»? Warum sagte Luther schlecht», wenn er doch das Gegenteil meinte? Und warum scheinen Türke...

In this book Guy Deutscher examines the historical development of Akkadian, the oldest recorded Semitic language and one of the earliest attested languages. Two thousand years of texts from 2500BC to 500BC provide a unique source for the study of linguistic change. The first two parts of the book present an historical grammar of sentential complementation. Part one traces the emergence of new structures, describing how finite complements firs...

How new are the high Tc superconductors, as compared to the conventional low Tc ones? In what sense are these oxides different from regular metals in their normal state? How different is the mechanism for high Tc superconductivity from the well-known electron-phonon interaction that explains so well superconductivity in metals and alloys? What are the implications of the new features of the high Tc oxides for their practical applications? This...

Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, the author exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays.

A New York Times Editor's ChoiceAn Economist Best Book of 2010A Financial Times Best Book of 2010A Library Journal Best Book of 2010The debate is ages old: Where does language come from? Is it an artifact of our culture or written in our very DNA? In recent years, the leading linguists have seemingly settled the issue: all languages are fundamentally the same and the particular language we speak does not shape our thinking in any significant w...

Dopo decine di anni di confronti e dispute i linguisti sono oggi quasi unanimi nel dire che tutte le lingue sono fondamentalmente simili e, pertanto, incapaci di filtrare in modo differente la percezione del mondo. Ma ne siamo sicuri? Attraverso l'analisi dei termini usati per indicare i colori nelle lingue più disparate, o attraverso i termini di orientamento spaziale usati in lontane tribù, Guy Deutscher ci insegna che forse, dopo tutto, la ...

A provocative exploration of how the cultures we live in affect the languages we speak and how we think of the world around us. Asks the questions 'Does language reflect the culture of a society, is a mother-tongue a lens through which a world is perceived, and can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts?
