Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In Grounding in Chinese Written Narrative Discourse Wendan Li offers a comprehensive and innovative account of how Mandarin Chinese, as a language without extensive morphological marking, highlights (or foregrounds) major events of a narrative and demotes (or backgrounds) other supporting descriptions. Qualitative and quantitative methods in the analysis and examinations of authentic written text provide extensive evidence to demonstrate that various types of morpho-syntactic devices are used in a wide range of structural units in Chinese to mark the distinction between foregrounding and backgrounding. The analysis paves the way for future studies to systematically approach grounding-related issues. The typological viewpoint adopted in the chapters serves well readers from both the Chinese tradition and other languages in discourse analysis.…

Condition: NEW. Spoleto: Centro Italiano di Studi sull'Alto Medioevo, 2023 9788868093976 Medioevo francescano. Opera prima 4 1409 viii, 412 p. : ill. col. b/n, indice, bibliografia ; 24 cm. This book provides fundamental insights into the pontificate of Gregory IX through the little-studied Life of Pope Gregory IX and considering several other sources. It examines the Life's genesis and transmission, its relation to the medieval papal historiography, its programmatic orientation towards the governance of the Papal States, the significance of the two excommunications of Frederick II in the mirror of the Life, and its stylisation of the papal protagonist and imperial antagonists. The Life served the papacy primarily as a document of legitimation and defence in the crisis years of 1239/40, and also as a source of political, financial, legal, and liturgical responses for the posterity of the Roman Curia. Gregory IX left a longer-lasting mark on the papal sanctity, the territorial politics, and the eschatological thinking of the Roman Curia than recognized by previous scholarship.

fester Einband. 419 S., einige Abb. Lit.verz. Kart. *neuwertig*. Der vorliegende Band gewinnt über die Vita Papst Gregors IX. und in Auseinandersetzung mit etlichen weiteren Quellen grundlegende Einsichten in den Pontifikat Gregors IX. Untersucht werden die Entstehung- und Überlieferungsgeschichte der Vita, die engen Bezüge zur Papstgeschichtsschreibung des Mittelalters, die programmatische Ausrichtung auf die Herrschaft im Kirchenstaat, die Bedeutung der beiden Exkommunikationen Friedrichs II. im Gedankengang der Vita und nicht zuletzt die Stilisierung von päpstlichem Protagonisten und kaiserlichem Antagonisten. Es wird deutlich, dass die Vita dem Papsttum in erster Linie als eine Legitimations- und Verteidigungsschrift in den Krisenjahren 1239/40, und weiter als ein Reservoir für politische, finanzielle, rechtliche und liturgische Antworten diente.
