Conduct Literature for Women, Part IV, 1770-1830 vol 6
by Pam MorrisThis collection aims to give a chronological insight into the evolution of conduct literature, from its early roots in the Renaissance period through to the dramatically different role that women played at the emergence of the 20th century. The material presented in this six-volume set moves away from courtly etiquette, adopting a more middle-class, domestic focus, and includes facsimile reproductions of sermons, poems, narratives and cookery books.Social and literary historians recognise the 1790s as a moment of political crisis and turbulence in British history: the intense reactions in Britain to increasing revolutionary violence in France politicised almost every aspect of cultural life. At the centre of discursive hostilities was the opposition between sentimentality, on the one hand, and rationality, on the other. Two of the most important literary forms utilised for expressing these polemics were novels and treatises on education, as well as conduct writing. Conduct Literature for Women IV, 1770-1830 makes available this body of writing, which has been less well studied in respect to the war of ideas than the former two.

Conducting Genre-Based Research in Applied Linguistics: A Methodological Guide (ISSN)
by Matt Kessler and Charlene PolioThis collection is a comprehensive resource on conducting research in applied linguistics involving written genres that is distinctive in its coverage of a multiplicity of interdisciplinary perspectives.The volume explores the central approaches, methodologies, analyses, and tools used in conducting genre-based research, extending the traditional focus on a single framework for defining genres by explicating the major approaches that have been invoked in applied linguistics. Chapters address a mix of commonly used methodologies (e.g., case studies, ethnographic approaches), types of analyses (e.g., metadiscourse, rhetorical move-step analysis, multidimensional analysis, lexical bundles and phrase frames, CALF measures, multimodal analysis), and studies that focus on other areas of second language (L2) teaching and learning (e.g., multilingualism, the Teaching and Learning Cycle). Taken together, the volume provides a theoretically and methodologically diverse introduction to foundational topics in genre-related research, supported by detailed discussions of the challenges and practical considerations to take into account when conducting research involving written genres.This book is a valuable resource for graduate students, faculty, and researchers in applied linguistics, particularly those working in second language acquisition, L2 writing, and genre theory and pedagogy.Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Conducting Sentiment Analysis (Elements in Corpus Linguistics)
by Lei Lei Dilin LiuThis Element provides a basic introduction to sentiment analysis, aimed at helping students and professionals in corpus linguistics to understand what sentiment analysis is, how it is conducted, and where it can be applied. It begins with a definition of sentiment analysis and a discussion of the domains where sentiment analysis is conducted and used the most. Then, it introduces two main methods that are commonly used in sentiment analysis known as “supervised machine-learning” and “unsupervised learning (or lexicon-based)” methods, followed by a step-by-step explanation about how to perform sentiment analysis with R. The Element then provides two detailed examples or cases of sentiment and emotion analysis, with one using an unsupervised method and the other using a supervised learning method.
Condé Nast: The Man and His Empire: A Biography
by Susan RonaldThe first biography in over thirty years of Condé Nast, the pioneering publisher of Vogue and Vanity Fair and main rival to media magnate William Randolph Hearst.Condé Nast’s life and career was as high profile and glamorous as his magazines. Moving to New York in the early twentieth century with just the shirt on his back, he soon became the highest paid executive in the United States, acquiring Vogue in 1909 and Vanity Fair in 1913. Alongside his editors, Edna Woolman Chase at Vogue and Frank Crowninshield at Vanity Fair, he built the first-ever international magazine empire, introducing European modern art, style, and fashions to an American audience.

His superbly appointed apartment at 1040 Park Avenue, decorated by the legendary Elsie de Wolfe, became a gathering place for the major artistic figures of the time. Nast launched the careers of icons like Cecil Beaton, Clare Boothe Luce, Lee Miller, Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward. He left behind a legacy that endures today in media powerhouses such as Anna Wintour, Tina Brown, and Graydon Carter.Written with the cooperation of his family on both sides of the Atlantic and a dedicated team at Condé Nast Publications, critically acclaimed biographer Susan Ronald reveals the life of an extraordinary American success story.
Conexión Madrid: Cómo y por qué el chino y el tunecino se convirtieron en terroristas islámicos
by Justin Webster Ignacio OrovioLa más profunda investigación sobre los orígenes del 11-M, el atentado que conmovió los cimientos de la sociedad española y el más sangriento, realizado por el fundamentalismo islámico en suelo europeo. Cuando se cumplen cinco años de los brutales atentados del 11-M, este libro reconstruye las vidas paralelas de los dos hombres fundamentales para su organización: Jamal Ahmidan y Sarhane ben Abdelmajid Fakhet. Dos jóvenes inmigrantes musulmanes, asentados en España desde los noventa, y cuyo encuentro, apenas seis meses antes, resultó decisivo para la preparación y ejecución del mayor atentado de la historia de Europa. Durante dos años y medio, Justin Webster e Ignacio Orovio reconstruyeron al detalle las trayectorias del Chino y el Tunecino. Sólo la confluencia de esas dos personalidades tan dispares, un delincuente y un fundamentalista religioso, explica una acción de esas características; ninguno de los dos por separado hubiera sido capaz de organizarla. El minucioso análisis de más de 100.000 páginas de documentos jurídicos, el contacto con fuentes directas que en muchos casos hablaban por primera vez, y visitas a Marruecos, Túnez, Turquía, Holanda e Inglaterra, buscando una historia que se remontaba a principios de los años noventa, consiguen delinear la ruta psicológica de los líderes de la célula.
Conference Interpreting Explained (Translation Practices Explained #Vol. 6)
by Roderick JonesRoderick Jones adopts a very practical approach to both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, providing detailed illustrations of note-taking, reformulation, the 'salami' technique, simplification, generalization, anticipation, and so on, including numerous tricks-of-the-trade such as how to handle difficult speakers and how to interpret untranslatable jokes. Numerous examples are offered at every stage, all in English or 'foreignized' English. Although primarily written as a practitioner's explanation rather than a theorist's speculation, the book includes notes on concepts such as units of meaning, translation units and discourse structure, as well as stances on more polemical issues such as the use of omission and the ethics of interpreting mistakes. The book concludes with a comment on the pleasure of conference interpreting, as well as a glossary and suggested further readings. In all, it fills a major gap in English-language publications on interpreting, providing an introduction for beginners, a down-to-earth guide for students, and a handy compendium for teachers. The first edition of this book was published in the series Translation Theories explained, at a time when St. Jerome had no separate series for books on practice as such. Happily, it has now found its rightful place in the Practices series. Modifications with respect to the first edition include an updated reading list, an index, and guideline tasks for training sessions. The popularity of the book since its first appearance in 1998 suggests that little else needs to be changed.

Conferencing and Presentation English for Young Academics (Springer Texts in Education)
by Michael GuestThis book discusses and demonstrates the types of English discourse used at academic conferences and offers guidance to prospective conference participants from multiple perspectives. It is a combination of research taken from numerous academic conferences attended and observations made by the author, based on well-established research methods in applied linguistics, as well as a guidebook aimed at students, ESP teachers, and young academics and professionals wishing to upgrade their skills to participate fruitfully in, and contribute to, academic conferences. It offers academic novices and non-native speakers of English in particular much that is new and practical, far beyond the realm of simple ‘presentation tips’. It addresses various topics, such as chairing discussions, poster management, discussion sessions, the TED phenomenon, workshops, and the emerging field of English as a lingua franca. The style alternates between the accessible and practical, and the analysis of the linguistic categories underpinning the discourse: genre analysis, the nature of the specialist discourse community, features of academic spoken discourse, and the presentation as multimodal narrative are all explored. The book includes authentic samples of model speech discourse throughout, along with questions and exercises for deliberation or practice in each chapter.

Confesiones de un comedor de opio inglés (Serie Great Ideas #29)
by Thomas De QuinceyIdeas que han cambiado el mundo. A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Describiendo las surrealistas alucinaciones, el insomnio y las visiones de pesadilla que experimentó mientras consumía grandes dosis diarias de láudano, el legendario relato de Thomas De Quincey sobre los placeres y los tormentos del opio forjó un vínculo entre la autoexpresión artística y la adicción, y allanó el camino para futuras generaciones de escritores que experimentaron con el consumo de drogas, de Baudelairea Burroughs. Comentarios sobre la colección Great Ideas:«De veras que la edición es primorosa y pocas veces contenido y continente pueden encontrarse mejor ensamblados y unidos. ¡Qué portadas! Para enmarcar. [...] Ante las Great Ideas, solo cabe quitarse el sombrero. ¡Chapeau!»ABC «Taurus propone un doble envite con este lanzamiento. Por un lado aumenta su compromiso con el ensayo; por otro, recupera el gusto por la estética. A los volúmenes se les ha proporcionado una portada delicada y cuidada (copian el original británico) que invita a la lectura.»La Razón «Un fenómeno editorial.»The Guardian «Aparte de los contenidos, en general muy bien elegidos, son tan bonitos que si los ven seguro que cae alguno.»El País «Ideas revolucionarias, crónicas de exploraciones, pensamientos radicales# vuelven a la vida en estas cuidadísimas ediciones, muy atractivas para nuevos lectores.»Mujer Hoy «Grandes ideas bien envueltas. De Cicerón a Darwin, esta colección entra por los ojos.»Rolling Stone «Original y bella iniciativa la emprendida por Taurus con su colección Great Ideas.»Cambio 16 «Hay libros inmortales, libros únicos que contienen pensamientos y reflexiones capaces de cambiar el mundo, tesoros en miniatura reagrupados en la colección Great ideas.»Diario de León
Confesiones de un joven novelista
by Umberto EcoUnas sabrosas reflexiones del gran Umberto Eco sobre el oficio de escribir. Empecemos por el título: ¿por qué Confesiones de un joven novelista si el eximio profesor está a punto de cumplir los ochenta años? Pues porque su estreno como narrador se remonta a 1980 y, por lo tanto, Umberto Eco puede permitirse el lujo de hablar de juventud en estos menesteres y comentar además que le quedan unos cincuenta años de carrera... Así empieza este texto de ensayos, donde el gran intelectual cuenta cómo se acercó a la ficción siendo ya un autor reconocido como gran ensayista, cómo prepara cada una de sus novelas antes de ponerse a escribir, cómo crea sus personajes y la realidad que los rodea. Luego también nos hablará de la buscada ambigüedad en que el escritor se mantiene a veces para que sus lectores se sientan libres de seguir su propio camino en la interpretación de un texto. Y de la ambigüedad pasamos a la definición de los personajes de una novela y a la capacidad de un escritor para manipular las emociones del lector. ¿Por qué en general no lloramos si un amigo nos cuenta que la novia lo ha dejado y en cambio muchos nos emocionamos al leer el episodio de la muerte de Anna Karenina? Como broche final, una reflexión sobre la pasión de Eco por las listas, que explica su peculiar manera de ver el mundo. Todo en este delicioso texto son preguntas que Eco plantea y respuestas ingeniosas que él mismo propone, con ese aire socarrón que lo distingue y convierte cada anécdota en una lección de vida. Reseña:«Cautivador, brillante... Un libro juguetón.»The Guardian
Confessing the Flesh: Reading Hopkins in Context (Victorian Literature and Culture Series)
by Lesley HigginsA new theoretical reading of the renowned poet and Jesuit priestConfessing the Flesh is an expansive, interdisciplinary analysis of how aesthetic and religious discourses function in dialogue in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the celebrated Victorian-era poet and Catholic priest. Through Hopkins, Lesley Higgins reveals how religion was expressed, lived, and debated in the nineteenth century. Both a comprehensive analysis of innovative Victorian poetry and a cultural history of confession, this book builds on previous Hopkins criticism by adopting a new approach informed by feminist and Foucauldian theory. With its analysis of the cultural conditions and power relations that sustained religious belief and poetic expression in the Victorian age, Confessing the Flesh offers new insights on the perennial question of Hopkins&’s religious commitments. And with its examination of everything from theological treatises to Punch cartoons, Higgins&’s exploration of Hopkins&’s confessional modes uncovers the ways that gender and nation become implicated in confessional controversies and fleshly entanglements.
