  • An Introduction to Human Evolutionary Anatomy

    • 1st Edition
    • Leslie Aiello + 1 more
    • English
    An anthropologist and an anatomist have combined their skills in this book to provide students and research workers with the essentials of anatomy and the means to apply these to investigations into hominid form and function. Using basic principles and relevant bones, conclusions can be reached regarding the probable musculature, stance, brain size, age, weight, and sex of a particular fossil specimen. The sort of deductions which are possible are illustrated by reference back to contemporary apes and humans, and a coherent picture of the history of hominid evolution appears. Written in a clear and concise style and beautifully illustrated, An Introduction to Human Evolutionary Anatomy is a basic reference for all concerned with human evolution as well as a valuable companion to both laboratory practical sessions and new research using fossil skeletons.

  • A History of Psychology in Metascientific Perspective

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 53
    • K.B. Madsen
    • English
    Two fields of interest are combined in this volume: the history of science and the theory, or philosophy, of science (metascience). The result is a history of psychology with emphasis placed upon a metascientific analysis of the work of fourteen psychologists from various periods.Each analysis is set in historical context; a period or school is discussed in each chapter, together with a metascientific analysis of some major works from the respective period or school. The author employs a metascientific descriptive system or `systematology' developed during more than 30 years of work on comparative, metascientific studies of about 50 psychological theories. The results of those studies have been published in previous works.These analyses are also used here for verifying T.S. Kuhn's much-debated theory about the `revolutionary' development of sciences. The author revises Kuhn's theory and shows that it can be applied to the history of psychology. Thus, in a Kuhnian sense, psychology may be said to have had two `normal periods' and two `periods of crisis' leading to school formation.

  • Thematic Relations

    • 1st Edition
    • Wendy Wilkins
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 21: Thematic Relations provides information pertinent to thematic relations, which focus both on what sematic roles are expressible in the grammar and how these roles come to be associated with noun phrases. This book presents the interaction of components of the language faculty and other aspects of cognition. Organized into 13 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the semantic relations involved in verb–argument structure. This text then examines the predicate-argument representations, which have come to figure prominently in all current generative theories of syntax. Other chapters consider the generalizations about thematic relations that are most insightfully captured at the level of syntax of at the level of semantics. This book discusses as well the importance of thematic roles to the grammar. The final chapter deals with the central role of thematic roles in language comprehension. This book is a valuable resource for linguists, syntacticians, and semanticists with an active involvement in research on natural language.

  • Discontinuous Constituency

    Syntax and Semantics
    • 1st Edition
    • Geoffrey J. Huck + 1 more
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics: Discontinuous Constituency is a collection of papers that discusses the role of discontinuous constituency in grammar. One paper proposes a program which combines the key ideas of the categorial theory of grammatical relations with a phrase structure view of syntax. The program provides a direct account of English verb-participle constructions, of extraposed relatives, and of the peculiar distribution of particles in English. Another paper shows that, given certain plausible assumptions about the type of grammar which children are predisposed to acquire, exposure to free word order triggers the postulation of discontinuous constituents. The paper also cites evidence involving the interpretation of reflexive pronouns and quantifiers in Korean grammar that make use of such discontinuous constituents. One paper tackles some issues surrounding the treatment of discontinuity and multidominance in the Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG) framework. The task is accomplished through a "phrase marker," a discontinuity and multidominance as ingredients of linguistic description, and a GPSG framework extension. Another paper analyzes extraposition and variations in surface order among syntactic constituents in English. The collection can prove valuable for linguists, students, and academician involved with semantics, syntax, and the philosophy of language.

    Made Simple
    • 1st Edition
    • David Stent
    • English
    Religious Studies Made Simple discusses the historical background, beliefs, and practices of religions that influence the world, particular Christianity. The text reviews the development of religion from Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The Hindu religion is over 3,000 years old and teaches that there are different gods. The author traces the roots of Judaism to Abraham—this is the first religion to teach monotheism. Siddhartha Gautama is the founder of Buddhism, a religion that teaches compassion to all living beings. The author explains that Christianity started as an answer to some Jewish expectation of a messiah. For Christians, Jesus Christ is regarded as the savior. The author discusses the Christian approach to issues such as responsibilities to self, to family, to society, and the Christian attitude to war. The author also addresses the ethical problems that medical developments have presented to Christian, as well as discrimination issues such as apartheid. This book is intended for candidates pursuing an A level course in Religious Studies, and students or academicians interested in philosophy, divinity or social studies.
