ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Velichkovsky, Boris M. / Rumbaugh, Duane M., PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, Dealing specifically with ong>theong> origins and development ong>ofong> human language, this book is based on a selection ong>ofong> materials from a recent interong>nationalong> ong>conferenceong> held at ong>theong> Center ong>ofong> Interdisciplinary Research at ong>theong> University ong>ofong> Bielefeld in Germany. ong>Theong> significance ong>ofong> ong>theong> volume is that it testifies to paradigmatic changes currently in progress. ong>Theong> changes are from ong>theong> typical emphasis on ong>theong> syntactic properties ong>ofong> language and cognition to an analysis ong>ofong> biological and cultural factors which make ong>theong>se formal properties possible. ong>Theong> chapters provide in-depth coverage ong>ofong> such topics as new ong>theong>oretical foundations for cognitive research, phylogenetic prerequisites and ontogenesis ong>ofong> language, and environmental and cultural forces ong>ofong> development. Some ong>ofong> ong>theong> arguments and lines ong>ofong> research are relatively well-known; oong>theong>rs deal with completely new interdisciplinary approaches. As a result, some ong>ofong> ong>theong> authors' conclusions are in part, raong>theong>r counterintuitive, such as ong>theong> hypoong>theong>sis that language as a system ong>ofong> formal symbolic transformations may be in fact a very late phenomenon located in ong>theong> sphere ong>ofong> socio-cultural and not biological development. While highly debatable, this and oong>theong>r hypoong>theong>ses ong>ofong> ong>theong> book may well define research questions for ong>theong> future.

The Politics of Citizenship in Europe

The Politics of Citizenship in Europe

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Howard, Marc Morje, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this book, Marc Morje Howard addresses immigrant integration, one ong>ofong> ong>theong> most critical challenges facing European countries today, ong>theong> resolution ong>ofong> which will in large part depend on how foreigners can become citizens. Howard's research shows that despite remarkable convergence in ong>theong>ir economic, judicial, and social policies, ong>theong> countries ong>ofong> ong>theong> European Union still maintain very different definitions ong>ofong> citizenship. Based on an innovative measure ong>ofong> ong>nationalong> citizenship policies, ong>theong> book accounts for both historical variation and contemporary change. Howard's historical explanation highlights ong>theong> legacies ong>ofong> colonialism and early democratization, which unintentionally created relatively inclusive citizenship regimes. ong>Theong> contemporary analysis explores why some ong>ofong> ong>theong> more restrictive countries have liberalized in recent decades, whereas oong>theong>rs have not. Howard's argument focuses on ong>theong> politics ong>ofong> citizenship, showing in particular how anti-immigrant public opinion - when activated politically, usually by far right movements or public referenda - can block ong>theong> liberalizing tendencies ong>ofong> political elites. Overall, ong>theong> book shows ong>theong> far-reaching implications ong>ofong> this growing and volatile issue.
