Cross-Examining Socrates. A Defense of the Interlocutors in Plato's Early Dialogues

Cambridge University Press, 2000. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 416. This book is a rereading of Plato's early dialogues from the point of view of the characters with whom Socrates engages in debate. Socrates' interlocutors are generally acknowledged to play important dialectical and dramatic roles, but no previous book has focused mainly on them. Existing studies are thoroughly dismissive of the interlocutors and reduce them to the status of mere mouthpieces for views which are hopelessly confused or demonstrably false. This book takes interlocutors seriously and treats them as genuine intellectual opponents whose views are often more defensible than commentators have standardly thought. The author's purpose is not to summarise their positions or the arguments of the dialogues in which they appear, much less to produce a series of biographical sketches, but to investigate the phenomenology of philosophical disputation as it manifests itself in the early dialogues.

ACT OF PARLIAMENT

An Act for building a Bridge cross the River of Thames from the Town of Fulham in the County of Middlesex, to the Town of Putney in the County of Surrey

London, printed by John Baskett, Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty, And Tho. Norris, Assignee to George Hills. 1726 [2], 643-662pp 32x21, disbound extract Edges browned and slightly chipped, very good thus for fragile item. The Fulham and Putney Bridge Act enabled the construction of the first Putney Bridge (also known as the Fulham Bridge). Rumour had it that the impetus for the Act came from Robert Walpole having been left standing on one bank of the river while the ferryman refused to come of the pub on the opposite bank to take him across. Whether there was truth in this or not, the fact that the bridge was on the route from Westminster to royal residences in Kingston and Richmond probably helped.

Grammars in Contact: A Cross-Linguistic Typology Explorations in Linguistic Typology

Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2008. Softcover. pp. xx, 355. 8vo. Black and white maps, charts, tables, illustrations et al. Appears unread, as new. "Languages can be similar in many ways - they can resemble each other in categories, constructions and meanings, and in the actual forms used to express these. A shared feature may be based on common genetic origin, or result from geographic proximity and borrowing. Some aspects of grammar are spread more readily than others. The question is - which are they? When languages are in contact with each other, what changes do we expect to occur in their grammatical structures? Only an inductively based cross-linguistic examination can provide an answer. This is what this volume is about. The book starts with a typological introduction outlining principles of contact-induced change and factors which facilitate diffusion of linguistic traits. It is followed by twelve studies of contact-induced changes in languages from Amazonia, East and West Africa, Australia, East Timor, and the Sinitic domain. Set alongside these are studies of Pennsylvania German spoken by Mennonites in Canada in contact with English, Basque in contact with Romance languages in Spain and France, and language contact in the Balkans. All the studies are based on intensive fieldwork, and each cast in terms of the typological parameters set out in the introduction. The book includes a glossary to facilitate its use by graduates and advanced undergraduates in linguistics and in disciplines such as anthropology. As New .
