In the two volumes of Prosodic Syntax in Chinese, the author develops a new model, which proposes that the interaction between syntax and prosody is bi-directional and that prosody not only constrains syntactic structures but also activates syntactic operations. All of the facts investigated in Chinese provide new perspectives for linguistic theories as well as insights into th...(展开全部)

The past quarter of a century has seen a surge in Chinese syntactic research that has produced a sizeable literature on the analysis of almost every construction in Mandarin Chinese. This guide to Chinese syntax analyses the majority of constructions in Chinese that have featured in theoretical linguistics in the past 25 years, using the authors' own analyses as well as existin...(展开全部)

In Vox Latina and Vox Graeca Professor Allen was concerned primarily with the pronunciation of the individual vowels and consonants of classical Latin and Greek. In this major work he analyses in depth and in detail all the prosodic features of these languages: length of vowels and quantity of syllables, accent, pitch, stress and 'rhythm', with special attention to their manife...(展开全部)

We are introduced to the known particles of the world we live in. An explanation of quantum mechanics and relativity paves the way for an understanding of the laws that govern particle physics. These laws are put into action...(展开全部)

M·威特曼，教授生于1931年。1963年获得博士学位以后，正式进入粒子物理的理论研究工作直至1997年退休。1970年前后，威特曼和他的研究生特？霍夫特在描写基本粒子的电弱相互作用的理论研究中取得了突破性的进展。他们证明了非阿贝耳规范理论可以重正化，从而消除了在量子场论中使人困惑的无穷大，得到了有意义的理论结果。这一开创性的工作为著名的电弱统一理论标准模型的建立以及其后许多惊人的实验发现奠定了一个坚实的基础。为此他们在1999年共享了诺贝尔物理学奖。
