Free Download Jing Peng, "Bilingual Lexicography from a Communicative Perspective"
English | 2007 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 9027223335 | PDF | 1,4 mb
This stimulating new book, as the premier work introducing bilingual lexicography from a communicative perspective, is launched to represent original thinking and innovative theorization in the field of bilingual lexicography. It treats the bilingual dictionary as a system of intercultural communication and bilingual dictionary making as a dynamic process realized by sets of choices, characterizing the overall nature of the dictionary. It examines the dictionary and dictionary making by using a model of lexicography which stresses the three-way relationship of compiler, dictionary context and user and incorporates them into a unified coherent framework. Throughout the study, special focus is on English and Chinese bilingual lexicography. It will serve not only as a valuable guide to those interested in dictionary compilation and theoretical inquiries but also as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in bilingual lexicography.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 3161610970 | PDF | pages: 259 | 2.1 mb
Despite its status as one of the great traditions of Sunni Islamic systematic theology, the Maturidi school and its major texts have remained largely inaccessible to a Western audience. As the first reader of Maturidi theology ever produced in a Western language, this volume meets an urgent need among scholars and general readers. It features selections ranging from the founder, Abu Man?ur al-Maturidi, to key texts from the broader Maturidi tradition up to the 18th century. Each selection includes the original Arabic text and an annotated English translation, preceded by a short introduction. The volume’s structure mirrors the classical compendia of Islamic systematic theology, known as kalam , exploring questions of Epistemology and Ontology; Metaphysics; Prophethood; Faith, Knowledge and Acts; and Free Will, Predestination, and the Problem of Evil.
