This book uses semiotics to study the design of a selection of banknotes and coins currently circulating in the American and European continents. Its purpose is to argue how the iconography used to decorate them draws on pre-existing social discourses and meaning.
Moreover, it aims to show how currency design is an enunciative praxis and hence, an activity shaped by cultural conventions that can be approached as a specific discursive genre.
In a nutshell, the book demonstrates how, beyond
The choice between BE and GET as auxiliary verbs, as in 鈥淪he was promoted鈥� vs 鈥淪he got promoted鈥�, is a central, grammatical feature, yet the many proposed nuances conditioning this phenomenon have escaped large-scale empirical validation to date. This book fills this gap, using multivariate statistical analyses of several large corpora to explore different factors determining the choice of English passive auxiliary.
Addressing both diachronic developments (using the Corpus of Historical Ameri
Integrating aspects of Chinese culture with modern theories of language, this book puts forward a new approach to ecolinguistics: harmonious discourse analysis (HDA).
Supplementing existing approaches to eco-discourse analysis, HDA aims to diversify the landscape of ecolinguistic studies by promoting cultural inclusiveness and ecological education. While enabling readers to embrace alternative approaches and discourses in the analysis of a variety of Chinese-context-based examples, it equally
The Fifth meeting of the Princeton Phonology Forum (P筛F 2026) will be held at Princeton University on May 15鈥揗ay 16, 2026. The theme for P筛F 2026 is "Register and subtonal features."
In recent decades, two major lines of research in tonal phonology have been concerned with 1) whether to represent tonal categories as tonal primitives or with subtonal features, and 2) how to account for registral effects like upstep and downstep. There has been considerable diversity in the treatment of regist
