Why is ‘Why’ Unique Its Syntactic and Semantic Properties


Free Download Gabriela Soare, "Why is ‘Why’ Unique?: Its Syntactic and Semantic Properties "
English | ISBN: 3110675110 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Why is ‘Why’ Unique? Its Syntactic and Semantic Properties considers the behaviour of this peculiar wh-element across many different languages, including Ewe, Trevisan, Italian, Basque, German, Dutch, Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Hebrew. In ten original chapters, the authors explore various aspects of why-questions, such as the way why interacts with V2 constructions in Basque, with a subject clitic in Trevisan or how its morpho-syntactic make-up determines its merge position in Ewe, to mention but a few. Furthermore, a clear-cut distinction is established between high and low reason adverbials which are subsequently examined in

The Pinch Technique and Its Applications to Non-Abelian Gauge Theories


Free Download The Pinch Technique and Its Applications to Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009402447 | 308 Pages | PDF (True) | 4.3 MB
Non-Abelian gauge theories, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) or electroweak theory, are best studied with the aid of Green’s functions that are gauge-invariant off-shell, but unlike for the photon in quantum electrodynamics, conventional graphical constructions fail. The pinch technique provides a systematic framework for constructing such Green’s functions, and has many useful applications. Beginning with elementary one-loop examples, this book goes on to extend the method to all orders, showing that the pinch technique is equivalent to calculations in the background field Feynman gauge. The Schwinger-Dyson equations are derived within the pinch technique framework, and are used to show how a dynamical gluon mass arises in QCD. Finally the volume turns to its many applications. This book is ideal for elementary particle theorists and graduate students. This 2011 title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

Platonic Drama and Its Ancient Reception


Free Download Platonic Drama and Its Ancient Reception By Charalabopoulos, Nikos G
2012 | 354 Pages | ISBN: 0521871743 | PDF | 5 MB
Reconstructing the way Plato presented himself to his original audience as the creator of an alternative drama, Nikos Charalabopoulos explains the ‘paradox’ of the dialogue form as an appropriation of the discourse of theatre, the dominant public mode of communication of the time. Reviewing artefacts ranging from a statue of Sokrates in the Academy from the fourth century BC to a mosaic of Sokrates in Mytilene from the fourth century AD, Charalabopoulos discusses a range of evidence pointing to a centuries-old tradition of treatment of the dialogues as performance literature, and reveals the significance of ‘Plato the prose dramatist’ for his original and subsequent audiences.

Knowledge and Its Place in Nature


Free Download Hilary Kornblith, "Knowledge and Its Place in Nature"
English | 2002 | pages: 182 | ISBN: 0199246319, 0199246327 | PDF | 1,1 mb
Hilary Kornblith argues for a naturalistic approach to investigating knowledge. Knowledge, he explains, is a feature of the natural world, and so should be investigated using scientific methods. He offers an account of knowledge derived from the science of animal behavior, and defends this against its philosophical rivals. This controversial and refreshingly original book offers philosophers a new way to do epistemology.
