Bibliography. Index. Initially all modern linguistics was historical in orientation even the study of modern dialects involved looking at their origins. But Saussure drew a distinction between synchronic and diachronic linguistics which is fundamental to the present day organization of the discipline. Primacy is accorded to synchronic linguistics and diachronic linguistics is defined as the study of successive synchronic stages. Saussure's clear demarcation however is now seen to be idealised. In practice a purely synchronic linguistics is not possible for any period before the invention of the gramophone written records always lag behind speech in reflecting linguistic developments and in any case are difficult to date accurately before the development of the modern title page. Also the work of sociolinguists on linguistic variation has shown synchronic states are not uniform the speech habits of older and younger speakers differ in ways which point to language change. Synchronic variation is linguistic change in progress. 272 pp.…

Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words continue into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (Phones), non-speech sounds and how they are produced and perceived." (jacket).…

Condition: New. Instant Insights: Genetic Modification of Crops (Paperback or Softback).

Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: New. This specially curated collection features six reviews of current and key research on genetic modification of crops.The first chapter reviews key challenges facing banana production, primarily the risk of species decimation by diseases such as Fusarium wilt, and considers how genetic modification may be a solution to this.The second chapter discusses the development and establishment of 'Golden Rice' - a biofortified variety designed as a health intervention to help alleviate the problem of vitamin A deficiency.The third chapter details recent advances in the genetic modification of important agronomic traits of soybean crops, such as herbicide tolerance and insect resistance. The fourth chapter addresses progress in and prospects for transgenic interventions in the improvement of grain legumes, concentrating on chickpea, pigeonpea, cowpea and more.The fifth chapter reviews recent research efforts in the production of genetically modified (GM) oil palm plants and looks towards establishing stable lines of commercially viable GM varieties.The final chapter describes recent progress relating to transgenic modification of cassava and how future research can strengthen food security and commercialization of the crop.…
