La capacidad imaginativa es innata, pero la técnica para redactar puede adquirirse. Con este trabajo se pretende advertir de los errores morfosintácticos y de las desviaciones léxicas y estilísticas más frecuentes en el español actual a los posibles lectores, alumnos de los últimos años de bachillerato, de la universidad, profesionales y personas preocupadas por la lengua, a la vez que facilitarles los mecanismos necesarios para su corrección. Para ello se recogen los vicios lingüísticos más usuales, se explica el porqué de su incorrección y se formula su buen uso. En vez de partir de planteamientos teóricos previos, se ha preferido hacerlo del empleo que los hablantes del español hacen de su idioma, por lo que se ha recurrido a un conjunto muy amplio de textos escritos (literarios, periodísticos, jurídicos, administrativos, científicos, etc.), al lenguaje oral utilizado en los medios de comunicación audiovisuales y a ejemplos extraídos de la conversación cotidiana. La catalogación de los errores se completa con algunas pautas técnicas para la redacción y normas para la presentación de textos, centrados, especialmente por el tipo de público al que va dirigido el libro, en la elaboración de los trabajos a los que se tiene que enfrentar el alumno en su vida académica. Al final de este manual, dado su carácter didáctico, se incluyen una serie de ejercicios sobre las diversas materias tratadas. De esta manera, el lector podrá comprobar si ha asimilado correctamente los aspectos teóricos expuestos a lo largo de los distintos capítulos del libro.

Fabritio Caroso was dancing master to some of the greatest princely families of Italy, and Nobiltà di dame, his sumptuous collection of ballroom dances and their music, reflects an age that believed that the person of high rank should be a work of art, uniting strength and beauty. Caroso's detailed instructions (including rules for steps, style and etiquetter, and forty-eight actual choreographies) are unequalled by any contemporary manual in their specificity and clarity. Most dances are preceeded by an engraving showing the opening position and illustrating many aspects of dress, posture, and gesture. A full scholarly apparatus, giving new information unavailable elsewhere, makes the book even more valuable to dancers and to students of dance and music at the junction of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

A Modern History of German Criminal Law

Increasingly, international governmental networks and organisations make it necessary to master the legal principles of other jurisdictions. Since the advent of international criminal tribunals this need has fully reached criminal law. A large part of their work is based on comparative research. The legal systems which contribute most to this systemic discussion are common law and civil law, sometimes called continental law. So far this dialogue appears to have been dominated by the former. While there are many reasons for this, one stands out very clearly: Language. English has become the lingua franca of international legal research. The present book addresses this issue. Thomas Vormbaum is one of the foremost German legal historians and the book's original has become a cornerstone of research into the history of German criminal law beyond doctrinal expositions; it allows a look at the system’s genesis, its ideological, political and cultural roots. In the field of comparative research, it is of the utmost importance to have an understanding of the law’s provenance, in other words its historical DNA.

A central debate about the description of auxiliary selection concerns the regularity of auxiliary selection from a typological perspective. Thus, studies of auxiliary selection have both stressed the fact that certain recurrent parameters are highly relevant to the description of auxiliary selection, whereas other studies demonstrate significant differences in auxiliary selection systems. By integrating the synchronic and diachronic levels of linguistic description, the papers in the present volume work towards a framework that explains these contradictory findings. They discuss the role of semantic and syntactic constraints in gradient auxiliary selection, address the question of paradigmaticity of the have-be alternation, and shed light on the mechanisms of the gradual historical change from be- to have-selection. The volume thus puts forth a row of innovative theoretical and empirical findings from a wide range of typologically diverse European languages that substantially broaden our knowledge about the mechanisms of auxiliary selection systems.
