This collection brings together some of Dominique Sportiche's best work, including essays that are published here for the first time. The articles discuss the architecture of syntax in natural languages and Sportiche suggests that languages do not differ at all in their syntactic organization. This view takes shape through the analysis of a variety of syntactic configurations and essays examine what it means to be a Subject, how Case marking functions, how it relates to Agreement, and how Pronominal Clitic Constructions should be analyzed.

L’architecture et l’urbanisme d’une ville sont le reflet d’une société et de sa mentalité. Dans le cas des villes antiques, une histoire détaillée des bâtiments publics et du financement de leur construction montre l’importance des bienfaiteurs et donateurs privés dans la définition de leur cadre fonctionnel. Deux cités d’Asie Mineure occidentale, Éphèse et Pergame, servent ici de base de test à l’investigation. En matière de développement social et urbanistique, chacune d’entre d’elles présente un profil tout à fait spécifique, qu’on pourrait même définir comme un type. La ville de l’époque impériale romaine suivit une voie de développement originale. Le désir d’ostentation des élites porteuses des transformations urbaines en fut un facteur déterminant. Le but de cet ouvrage est d’analyser et de modéliser ces caractéristiques sur la base de l’exemple des deux villes précitées.

Engineering structures encompass various engineering facilities constructed above ground, underground, and in water, such as bridges, roads, buildings, tunnels, dams, and other similar structures. These infrastructures play a vital role in daily life and social activities. However, due to limitations at the technological development and management level, and the influence of adverse environmental factors, problems regarding the security and usability of engineering structures have become increasingly prominent, resulting in serious casualties, property losses, and adverse social impacts. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish an effective system for evaluating the condition and performance of engineering structures to monitor and evaluate their health status. Fortunately, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing, more advanced technologies have been applied to the evaluation of the condition and performance of engineering structures. This volume delves into the areas of condition sensing and performance assessment within engineering structures, comprising a total of 33 papers. These studies provide some novel methods, models, and technological applications for bridge condition perception, which are of great significance for the design, construction, and assessment of engineering structures.

This book is a collection of works on new research in metamorphic geology.

In the framework of the rigorous fusion of GNSS and InSAR observations, the presented work carries out at a straightforward comparison of the wet delay, caused by water vapor, derived from GNSS and InSAR. The contributions of the two sensors to the wet delay are compared in the line of sight towards the SAR satellite. Comparisons of GNSS observations with the satellite-directed InSAR data show that only a partial component of the wet delay remains after the interferogram formation.

Das vorliegende Buch "Differenzen und Interferenzen" ist eine Sammlung wissenschaftlicher (slavistischer) Studien, die vom Autor im deutschen bzw. englischen Sprachraum bereits veröffentlicht oder vorgetragen wurden. Als Ganzes ist es jedoch den südosteuropäischen Themen zugeordnet, wobei sich die einzelnen Beiträge konsistent in drei Problemkreise einordnen ließen. Der erste Kreis zeichnet sich durch grundsätzliche theoretische und literarhistorische Texte aus. Der zweite Kreis gilt den Fragen der Entstehung der Slavistik als einer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin und der Problematik, die ihr durch die vielseitigen Aktivitäten J. Kopitars auferlegt wurde. Den dritten Kreis bilden jene Texte, deren Thematik auch ein breiteres Lesepublikum anzusprechen vermag: die Entstehung und Entwicklung der slovenischen Literatur.

This open access book presents original contributions and thought leadership on academic integrity from a variety of Canadian scholars. It showcases how our understanding and support for academic integrity have progressed, while pointing out areas urgently requiring more attention. Firmly grounded in the scholarly literature globally, it engages with the experience of local practicioners. It presents aspects of academic integrity that is specific to Canada, such as the existence of an "honour culture", rather than relying on an "honour code". It also includes Indigenous voices and perspectives that challenge traditional understandings of intellectual property, as well as new understandings that have arisen as a consequence of Covid-19 and the significant shift to online and remote learning. This book will be of interest to senior university and college administrators who are interested in ensuring the integrity of their institutions. It will also be of interest to those implementing university and college policy, as well as those who support students in their scholarly work.

Nowadays, organizations face an increasingly changing and competitive market, and to remain in it they must not only design and implement strategies to achieve greater efficiency in their production process, but they must also produce and offer goods or services that satisfy the tastes, desires and needs of present and future consumers, where a very close relationship must be established with them to get to know their requirements. Marketing is one of the business functions that must keep up with these requirements. Marketing as a process has the tools to identify and communicate the benefits offered by a business to its target market, and focuses on creating strategies to achieve it.

This collection represents the first of its kind, bringing together the latest research on danmu, the fast-growing phenomenon of live comments overlaid on audiovisual media changing the shape of audience participation on video-streaming platforms and of audiovisual translation research today. The volume presents compelling evidence of danmu's growing influence in shaping the future of audiovisual translation and online computer-mediated communication. Through diverse theoretical and methodological lenses, the chapters delve into how danmu facilitates audience participation, impacts documentary viewing through emotional engagement, and challenges traditional subtitling with multimodal pseudotranslations. It further explores cultural citizenship in video game commentary, virtual communities of practice in danmu, and Chinese audience preferences in danmu-enhanced viewing experiences. This book will be of interest to scholars in audiovisual translation, media studies, digital communication, and East Asian studies.

"This is the first full-scale biography, in any language, of a towering figure in German and European Romanticism: August Wilhelm Schlegel whose life, 1767 to 1845, coincided with its inexorable rise. As poet, translator, critic and oriental scholar, Schlegel's extraordinarily diverse interests and writings left a vast intellectual legacy, making him a foundational figure in several branches of knowledge. He was one of the last thinkers in Europe able to practise as well as to theorise, and to attempt to comprehend the nature of culture without being forced to be a narrow specialist. With his brother Friedrich, for example, Schlegel edited the avant-garde Romantic periodical Athenaeum; and he produced with his wife Caroline a translation of Shakespeare, the first metrical version into any foreign language. Schlegel's Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature were a defining force for Coleridge and for the French Romantics. But his interests extended to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese literature, as well to the Greek and Latin classics, and to Sanskrit. August Wilhelm Schlegel is the first attempt to engage with this totality, to combine an account of Schlegel’s life and times with a critical evaluation of his work and its influence. Through the study of one man's rich life, incorporating the most recent scholarship, theoretical approaches, and archival resources, while remaining easily accessible to all readers, Paulin has recovered the intellectual climate of Romanticism in Germany and traced its development into a still-potent international movement. The extraordinarily wide scope and variety of Schlegel's activities have hitherto acted as a barrier to literary scholars, even in Germany. In Roger Paulin, whose career has given him the knowledge and the experience to grapple with such an ambitious project, Schlegel has at last found a worthy exponent. "
