Synopsis

Scotia Plaza explores the history of the iconic Toronto skyscraper and its profound influence on Canada's financial landscape. It examines the building's architectural design, the Bank of Nova Scotia's growth, and the broader Canadian economic context. The book reveals how this single structure mirrors the bank's power and reflects Canada's economic journey.

 
One intriguing aspect is how the Plaza's design is intricately linked to the bank's strategic goals and its global interactions. Another is how its construction influenced urban development in Toronto.

 
The book uniquely combines architectural analysis with financial and economic history, offering a comprehensive view of the Plaza's significance. Its approach integrates archival research, architectural plans, and economic data.

 
The narrative unfolds across three sections: pre-construction history and design, the bank's historical context and urban impact, and the Plaza's role in Canadian and international finance.

 
This comprehensive exploration will appeal to those interested in Canadian history, finance, and urban planning.

    "Everyone must read this book." – Lucia Osborne-Crowley 
    "Extraordinary and utterly compelling." – Adam Phillips  
    "An almost impossible balancing act." – Merve Emre 
    “Part philosophical treatise, part memoir, part history, Rees’s genre-bending meditation on hypochondria references everyone from Freud to Kafka to Seinfeld in a provocative search to find out why, exactly, we believe we’re sick.” – The New York Times 
    A free-wheeling philosophical essay, Hypochondria combines incisive contemporary cultural critique, colourful literary history, and the author’s own experience of chronic health anxiety to ask what we might learn from the hypochondriac’s discomforting experience of their body. Hypochondria is expansive in its range of references, from the writings of Franz Kafka to original yet accessible readings of theorists like Lauren Berlant. Whether he is discussing Seinfeld, John Donne, or his own past, Rees reveals himself to be a wry and perceptive critic, exploring the causes – and the costs – of our desire for certainty. 
    With wit and erudition, Hypochondria demonstrates both the rewards and the perils of reading (too) closely the common but typically overlooked aspects of our everyday lives.

    内容简介:
    《复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究》在生成语法框架内分析了复数语法范畴在汉语、英语、韩语中的共性和差异,并考察了英语母语者和韩语母语者对汉语复数语法范畴的习得情况。其中,跨语言对比研究以最简方案(Chomsky 2000, 2001; Pesetsky & Torrego 2007)的特征核查机制为理论基础,分析了汉语"们"、英语复数标记-s、韩语复数标记-tul的句法和语义异同,同时也分析了汉语量词重叠的复数义及其句法推导过程。依据特征重组假说(Lardiere 2009),二语学习者需对母语复数表征所涉及的特征集合进行拆分,进而重组出二语复数表征所需的特征集合。本书通过实证研究验证了这一假说,并深入分析了复数语法范畴习得中特征重组的方式和过程。本研究的理论意义在于深度分析了复数语法范畴在量词语言和非量词语言中的表征异同,尤其是在最简方案框架内对复数标记以及与之相关的量词和指示代词的句法推导进行了统一分析,并将理论分析所得出的特征及其组合方式应用于二语习得实证研究中,使母语迁移的内容、方式和结果更加简明清晰。实证研究结果扩展了对量词语言中复数语法范畴习得的认识,深化了对特征重组的方式和过程的了解。
    作者简介:
    苏佳佳,语言学博士,毕业于加拿大麦吉尔大学McGill University语言学系,现为北京外国语大学中国外语与教育研究中心专职研究员。从事二语习得、汉外语言对比、语音学与音系学等方面的研究。在Second Language Research,Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism,《外语教学与研究》等国内外学术期刊上发表论文多篇。主持省部级重点课题、参与国家级课题多项。
