A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish

By: John Butt,Carmen Benjamin

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

LEARN HOW TO USE DATA STRUCTURES IN WRITING HIGH PERFORMANCE PYTHON PROGRAMS AND ALGORITHMS This practical introduction to data structures and algorithms can help every programmer who wants to write more efficient software. Building on Robert Lafore's legendary Java-based guide, this book helps you understand exactly how data structures and algorithms operate. You'll learn how to efficiently apply them with the enormously popular Python language and scale your code to handle today's big data challenges. Throughout, the authors focus on real-world examples, communicate key ideas with intuitive, interactive visualizations, and limit complexity and math to what you need to improve performance. Step-by-step, they introduce arrays, sorting, stacks, queues, linked lists, recursion, binary trees, 2-3-4 trees, hash tables, spatial data structures, graphs, and more. Their code examples and illustrations are so clear, you can understand them even if you're a near-beginner, or your experience is with other procedural or object-oriented languages. Build core computer science skills that take you beyond merely “writing code” Learn how data structures make programs (and programmers) more efficient See how data organization and algorithms affect how much you can do with today's, and tomorrow's, computing resources Develop data structure implementation skills you can use in any language Choose the best data structure(s) and algorithms for each programming problem—and recognize which ones to avoid Data Structures & Algorithms in Python is packed with examples, review questions, individual and team exercises, thought experiments, and longer programming projects. It's ideal for both self-study and classroom settings, and either as a primary text or as a complement to a more formal presentation.

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish, 4th edition

By: John B. Butt,John Butt,Carmen Benjamin

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish is widely recognised as the standard English-language reference grammar of Spanish. It provides teachers and students of Spanish with a comprehensive, accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of the Spanish currently used in Spain and Latin America. This new edition has been carefully revised and updated, and its explanations have been checked against the findings of the Royal Spanish Academy's Gramática descriptiva de la lengua española and other new works in the field. Many new Peninsular and Latin American examples have been included, the English text has been thoroughly revised and in many places expanded or clarified. A glossary of grammatical terms has also been included. As a result this new version of 'B & B' should now be invaluable to an even wider readership ranging from intermediate to advanced students of Spanish. A Workbook is available for use with A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish, 4th edition; Practising Spanish Grammar by Christopher J Pountain and Teresa de Carlos. ISBN 0340 66223 9

Palenquero and Spanish in Contact

Exploring the interface

By: John M. Lipski

Bilingual speakers are normally aware of what language they are speaking or hearing; there is, however, no widely accepted consensus on the degree of lexical and morphosyntactic similarity that defines the psycholinguistic threshold of distinct languages. This book focuses on the Afro-Colombian creole language Palenquero, spoken in bilingual contact with its historical lexifier, Spanish. Although sharing largely cognate lexicons, the languages are in general not mutually intelligible. For example, Palenquero exhibits no adjective-noun or verb-subject agreement, uses pre-verbal tense-mood-aspect particles, and exhibits unbounded clause-final negation. The present study represents a first attempt at mapping the psycholinguistic boundaries between Spanish and Palenquero from the speakers’ own perspective, including traditional native Palenquero speakers, adult heritage speakers, and young native Spanish speakers who are acquiring Palenquero as a second language. The latter group also provides insights into the possible cognitive cost of “de-activating” Spanish morphological agreement as well as the relative efficiency of pre-verbal vs. clause-final negation. In this study, corpus-based analyses are combined with an array of interactive experimental techniques, demonstrating that externally-imposed classifications do not always correspond to speakers’ own partitioning of language usage in their communities.

Analytical and Numerical Methods for Convection-dominated and Singularly Perturbed Problems

By: Lubin Vulkov,John James Henry Miller

This volume is the Proceedings of the Workshop on Analytical and Computational Methods for Convection-Dominated and Singularly Perturbed Problems, which took place in Lozenetz, Bulgaria, 27-31 August 1998. The workshop attracted about 50 participants from 12 countries. The volume includes 13 invited lectures and 19 contributed papers presented at the workshop and thus gives an overview of the latest developments in both the theory and applications of advanced numerical methods to problems having boundary and interior layers. There was an emphasis on experiences from the numerical analysis of such problems and on theoretical developments. The aim of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for scientists from the East and the West, who develop robust methods for singularly perturbed and related problems and also who apply these methods to real-life problems, to discuss recent achievements in this area and to exchange ideas with a view of possible research co-operation.

Spectral Theory of Non-Self-Adjoint Two-Point Differential Operators

By: John Locker

Develops the spectral theory of an nth order non-self-adjoint two- point differential operator L in the complex Hilbert space L2[0,1]. The differential operator L is determined by an nth order formal differential l and by n linearly independent boundary values B1,.,Bn. Locker first lays the foundations of the spectral theory for closed linear operators and Fredholm operators in Hilbert spaces before developing the spectral theory of the differential operator L. The book is a sequel to Functional analysis and two-point differential operators, 1986. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
