On Recursion and Its Varieties Formal, Cognitive and Use Aspects of Recursion in Language


Free Download On Recursion and Its Varieties: Formal, Cognitive and Use Aspects of Recursion in Language
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031874242 | 111 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 20 MB
This book discusses linguistic recursion as a transversal property that runs through different fields, including language, computer science, mathematics, architecture, music, and art. Linguistic recursion, considered since the seminal work of Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch (2002) the defining characteristic of human language, has no analogue or homologue in other animal communication systems. This book presents different aspects of recursion from a syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic framework. Syntax recursion is largely addressed through the different types of dependencies, most notably those hierarchically composed. The semantic and pragmatic topics are respectively discussed in relation to the theory of mind and a dialogical use of language.

Omnirambles The Collected Writings of Damian McBride


Free Download Omnirambles : The Collected Writings of Damian McBride By Damian McBride
2014 | 171 Pages | ISBN: 1849547890 | EPUB | 1 MB
His explosive insider memoir Power Trip was hailed as the must-read of 2013, making The Thick of It look tame, and now Damian McBride is back with more razor-sharp observations taken from his widely acclaimed blog. The former spin-doctor, a pivotal but notorious figure in the New Labour government, has since become one of the most sought-after commentators on all things political - and it's easy to see why. McBride's musings provide frank and fascinating accounts of the functions (or dysfunctions) of the political machine, and the peculiar machinations of its operators. Now, in Omnirambles, they are brought together for the first time in one collection. Delivered with the same no-holds-barred acuity and inimitable wit present in his debut bestseller, McBride once again proves himself to be one of today's most controversial and incisive political voices.

Novel Proton Conducting in Free-Standing Coordination Polymer Membranes


Free Download Jiangfeng Lu, "Novel Proton Conducting in Free-Standing Coordination Polymer Membranes "
English | ISBN: 981977912X | 2024 | 96 pages | EPUB | 29 MB
This book investigates the development of high proton conduction properties free-standing two-dimensional coordination polymer membranes, with the goal of elucidating the mechanical flexibility, proton conduction behavior, and structural characteristics of these materials under varying environmental conditions. The book evaluates the possible uses of these membranes in flexible electronics and energy technologies and thoroughly examines proton conduction mechanisms using an interdisciplinary research approach that combines chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. The most recent scientific developments in novel proton conduction materials are covered, along with preparation and structural characterization procedures and their possible uses in energy, environmental, and electronic technology applications. The research findings presented are extremely important for advancing the creation of clean energy technologies and tackling the problem of climate change. They are also especially relevant given the rising demand for sustainable energy technologies throughout the world.

Non-Being in Ancient Thought


Free Download Dmitri Nikulin, "Non-Being in Ancient Thought"
English | ISBN: 0197781616 | 2025 | 320 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Being has been at the forefront of philosophical debate from its very beginnings, whereas non-being has been considered derivative of being and an obstacle for thought. Dmitri Nikulin argues that without non-being, being can neither be nor thought. Non-Being in Ancient Thought provides a critical, historical, and systematic reconstruction of the concept of non-being in ancient philosophy, from Pre-Socratic thought to Neoplatonism, in the works of Parmenides, Democritus, Plato, Diogenes, Aristotle, Descriptioninus, and Simplicius.

News Consumption in Libya A Study of University Students


Free Download News Consumption in Libya : A Study of University Students By Mokhtar Elareshi
2013 | 186 Pages | ISBN: 1443844519 | PDF | 1 MB
This book aims to understand the relationship between Libyan students' consumption of satellite TV news services and their perceptions of news issues. This involves examining students' news consumption habits and their motives for the choices they make. In the face of competition from well-resourced broadcasters such as Al Jazeera TV, what can Libyan news services do to retain audience interest and loyalty? Do they need to do anything different? Is there room for local and international news in Libya? The book also explores whether Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya have affected students' use of local TV news services. Have local channels been displaced by newer channels and is the use of different channels driven by the same or different news consumption motives?The book reveals that there are distinct variations in news consumption defined in part by news platform (TV versus radio versus newspaper) and in part by type of news providers (local versus international TV). Students seek out news sources they believe to be credible and that local TV news provision does not reach the students' standards of credibility. In content, there may be room in the evolving news landscape for local TV services to occupy a niche market that still has value for the Libyan public. To retain this market, however, quality of delivery will also be crucial.
