本书以香港中文大学中国文化研究所编辑之《毛诗逐字索引》为底本，然后用研究所[汉达古文献数据库]计算机检索系统，将先秦两汉典籍直接引录《诗经》的数据辑录出来。至于暗引或暗用《诗经》者，则由研究人员先行编纂《诗经》所见词汇表，然后利用数据库逐条检索，再反复核实，然后定稿。本书主要收录先秦两汉典籍引用《诗经》相关资料，不论经、史、子、集，举凡引用《诗经》者，皆予收录。王于汉世传注，例如群经郑玄《注》，《淮南子》、《吕氏春秋》高诱《注》，《楚辞》王逸《注》，如有称引《诗经》者，因属两汉范畴，亦予收录。

Japanese has a term that covers both green and blue. Russian has separate terms for dark and light blue. Does this mean that Russians perceive these colors differently from Japanese people? Does language control and limit the way we think? This short, opinionated book addresses the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which argues that the language we speak shapes the way we perceive the world. Linguist John McWhorter argues that while this idea is mesmerizing, it is plainly wrong. It is language that reflects culture and worldview, not the other way around. The fact that a language has only one word for eat, drink, and smoke doesn't mean its speakers don't process the difference between food and beverage, and those who use the same word for blue and green perceive those two colors just as vividly as others do. McWhorter shows not only how the idea of language as a lens fails but also why we want so badly to believe it: we're eager to celebrate diversity by acknowledging the intelligence of peoples who may not think like we do. Though well-intentioned, our belief in this idea poses an obstacle to a better understanding of human nature and even trivializes the people we seek to celebrate. The reality - that all humans think alike - provides another, better way for us to acknowledge the intelligence of all peoples.

《论语研究史》主要内容简介：吾友戴君，名维，南方之大学者，长年隐居著书，人多不识。余初亦不识，后受聘于湖南大学，寓居碧虚之山，戴君与挚友梓根忽来造访，并赠所著之《春秋学史》与《诗经研究史》。余翻阅若干篇页，不禁肃然起敬。先生复然独立，学识超迈，时贤少见其比。“文革”劫余，左风尚炽，斯文坠地，扶起无人。其时戴君甫高中毕业，自购经传，细心研读，长年不辍。曰积月累，学问遂成。戴君僻居乡野，淡泊名利，甚少与学界人士交往，亦不参加任何学术会议。所著书印数偏少，传播不广，故学界少有知其人者。

本书为罗兰•巴尔特在法兰西学院1977—1978学年年度研究班课程的讲义。
罗兰•巴尔特去世前在法兰西学院讲授了三年“文学符号学”讲座，“中性”是第二年的课程主题。在这部迟至2002年才发表的讲稿里，巴尔特秉承其在就职演讲中预告的创新精神，把“中性”这个语法概念延伸到哲学、意识形态、社会行为、性观念等不同领域，即一切能够破除或避开以二分法为标志的聚合关系的思想和行为。巴尔特解构了“中性”的23种正面和负面的表征或“闪现”，并广征博引老子、古希腊哲人、卢梭、波德莱尔、托尔斯泰、本雅明、纪德、尼采和凯奇等人的思想，从而揭示了非冲突性的“中性”对于西方伦理学、哲学、政治学和语言学话语中的习常观念所具有的丰富意义。

在哲学交流的规范语境下，数学所强加的那些限制看起来是无害的。哲学思想处在数学框架内的基本优势在于，数学的发展很自由，而且政治力量和意识形态力量不能轻易控制其发展过程。因此，数学框架可能是最严密的，但因它在政治/意识形态/宗教上保持中立，且有一种天然驱动力促进其进一步发展，这种发展可以减少经院哲学的危险。哲学思想要回应的需求处于快速变化中，在历史上，数学演变的一个主要特征是其演变步伐比这种需求要慢得多。

《西南少数民族原始文字的产生与发展》内容简介：原始文字上承文字的起源，下启各类型文字的发展演变，处于非文字和成熟文字之间的中间阶段，过去由于材料缺乏而研究不足。中国西南地区民族众多，文字类型多样，其中多种原始文字更弥足珍贵。《西南少数民族原始文字的产生与发展》以西南少数民族原始文字为研究对象，探索了原始文字的产生、发展及演变过程中的文字规律和原因。研究中有意识区分文字系统与文字字符，分析文字字符的形成时提出了不同的造字机制。

本书大致分两部分，第一部分是作者近几年在译介西方语文学专业文献过程中的一些管窥蠡测；第二部分主要是作者研读中国传世典籍、出土文献过程中的一些思考讨论。

Language is mankind's greatest invention-except, of course, that it was never invented." So begins linguist Guy Deutscher's enthralling investigation into the genesis and evolution of language. If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of "man throw spear," how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies, and intricately nuanced degrees of meaning?
Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, Deutscher exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving us fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays. He traces the evolution of linguistic complexity from an early "Me Tarzan" stage to such elaborate single-word constructions as the Turkish sehirlilestiremediklerimizdensiniz ("you are one of those whom we couldn't turn into a town dweller"). Arguing that destruction and creation in language are intimately entwined, Deutscher shows how these processes are continuously in operation, generating new words, new structures, and new meanings.
As entertaining as it is erudite, The Unfolding of Language moves nimbly from ancient Babylonian to American idiom, from the central role of metaphor to the staggering triumph of design that is the Semitic verb, to tell the dramatic story and explain the genius behind a uniquely human faculty.

This introduction to the descriptive and historical linguistics of the Papuan languages of New Guinea provide an accessible account of one of the richest and most diverse linguistic situations in the world. The Papuan languages number over 700 (or 20 per cent of the world's total) in more than sixty language families. Less than a quarter of the individual languages have yet been adequately documented, and in this sense William Foley's book might be considered premature. However, in the search for language universals and generalisations in linguistic typology, it would be foolhardy to neglect the information that is available. In this respect alone, the present volume, systematically organised on mainly typology principles, is particularly timely and useful. In addition, the processes of linguistic diffusion are present in New Guinea to an extent probably paralleled elsewhere on the globe. The Papuan Languages of New Guinea will be of interest not only to general and comparative linguists and to typologists, but also to sociolinguists and anthropologists for the information it provides on the social dynamics of language content.

The only volume to offer hands-on information about the wide range of research philosophies, methods and tools used across linguistics, phonetics, and speech science, as applied to disordered speech and language. • Covers core topics for students undertaking their own research, including experimental and qualitative methods, sociolinguistics, corpus construction and analysis, data recording, transcription and digital analysis of speech, and speech imaging. • Considers the research ethics associated with working with people who have speech, language or other communication difficulties. • Includes a detailed discussion of the dissemination of research results, and advice on the writing of theses and dissertations, and on the writing and publishing of journal articles, as well the peer review process. • Offers students and researchers from a variety of entry points -- such as linguistics, education, psychology, and speech pathology -- an introduction to the scope of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics, and a practical guide to this interdisciplinary field

This book is intended for researchers who want to keep abreast of current developments in corpus-based natural language processing. It captures the essence of a series of highly successful workshops organized over the last few years. The papers cover a range of current research topics in this field including part-of-speech tagging, word sense disambiguation, parsing on real-life texts, working with parallel corpora and improved techniques for document processing.
