Chasseur, pêcheur, trappeur et homme politique, Taamusi Qumaq (1914-1993) est considéré comme l'un des grands penseurs des Inuit du Nunavik.

This book examines the acquisition of requests in English by a seven-year-old Japanese girl during her 17-month residence in Australia. The study focuses on the linguistic repertoire available to the child as she attempts to make requests and vary these to suit different goals and addressees. This book helps unravel features of pragmatic development in the child's interlanguage, a subject about which we yet know very little.

DPA takes the political realm as the kernel and conceptualizes political discourse as a functional tool which constantly modifies the agent's position vis-à-vis structural factors to achieve or maintain political hegemony. DPA can be viewed as a complementary aspect of political analysis and addresses a wide audience...

There is so much to recommend in this book that I scarcely know where to begin. Suffice it to say that by conducting a comparative analysis of Aristotle, Korzybski, and McLuhan, and by applying an Aristotelian perspective to the notion of formal cause in Marshall McLuhan's thinking, the book's author, Professor Laura Trujillo Liñán, has made a significant contribution to the fields of philosophy, general semantics, and media ecology. Highly recommended.

We don't think about time much, do we? Time surrounds us. We can't think about it any more than a fish can imagine the water in which he swims. Einstein said time is an illusion. Henri Bergson sees it as "duration, a natural flow. A Buddhist would see it as a circle, a priest as eternity's antechamber, a historian a history of human development and decay. On the other hand, a lawyer might see his hours as billable units, and a psychiatrist might see...
