Summary

The first theoretical work in the field of linguistics to explore the relationship between language, complexity theory, and chaos. The ground-breaking investigations into the idiolect and Hermann Paul's concept of Language Custom opened new avenues within sociolinguistics that previously paid little attention to the role of individual speakers in co-creating intelligible Language Customs, or sociolects, when speakers sharing little or no overlapping or translatable language. This 'far from equilibrium' scenario lends itself quite well to the metaphors of chaos theory while raising interesting questions for dialectologists and sociolinguists concerned with issues of translation, language accommodation, and feedback loops in the haphazard emergence of the foundations of meaningful discourse from the chaos of misunderstanding. Drawing on influences from complexity and chaos theory, Heideggarian views on our relationship with language and a wide-ranging mix of linguistic philosophy, the theory is tested against multi-lingual data gathered in northern Morocco in 2001-2002. A must-read for linguists interested in the idiolect or chaos and complexity theory.

    Dr. Joseph Bell - this is who the portrait of Sherlock Holmes was written from! Bell was thin, lithe, with a sharp gaze and a quick gait. By the mere appearance of the patient, he could tell what the patient was sick with, and tell a number of details of his life before he had time to open his mouth. Isn't it true that the image of the famous detective is recognized? Doyle learned the method of deduction and analysis from Dr. Bell, and could become a talented detective, because he had his own amazing cases of solving crimes.

    A collection of 15 guided walking tours of the ancient Latin descriptions found throughout Rome. Rome’s oldest known Latin inscription dates from the sixth century BC; the most recent major specimen was mounted in 2006—a span of more than two and a half millennia. Remarkably, many of these inscriptions are still to be found in situ, on the walls, gates, temples, obelisks, bridges, fountains, and churches of the city. Classicist Tyler Lansford has collected some 400 of these inscriptions and arranged them—with English translations—into fifteen walking tours that trace the physical and historical contours of the city. Each itinerary is prefaced by an in-depth introduction that provides a survey of the history and topography of the relevant area of the city. The Latin texts appear on the left-hand page with English translations on the right. The original texts are equipped with full linguistic annotation, and the translations are supplemented with historical and cultural notes that explain who mounted them and why. This unique guide will prove a fascinating and illuminating companion for both sophisticated visitors to the Eternal City and armchair travelers seeking a novel perspective into Rome's rich history.“This book is wonderful. . . . Lansford’s evocative depictions of monuments, cityscape, and memorable humans have inspired me anew with the fascination of Rome.” —Mary T. Boatwright, Duke University“If this book is not slipped into many a Rome-bound suitcase, there is no justice in the world. I can think of few more enjoyable companions on a prowl through the city.” —Jane Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement (UK)
