Title: Linguophilosophic Parameters of English Innovations in
Technosphere
Publication Year: 2010
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
http://www.c-s-p.org
Author: Rusudan Makhachashvili
Hardback: ISBN: 144382139X 9781443821391 Pages: 95 Price: U.K. £ 29.99
Abstract:
The monograph researches the aspects of the English vocabulary development
processes in the sphere of new computer technologies. The primary
supposition of cyber word-stock terminological nature leads into the study
of both linguistic (morphological and semantic) and ontological
paradigmatic parameters of innovative cyber-vocabulary of the English
language. Linguistically, the development of English cyber-vocabulary
acquires an ambivalent character. Primarily, the sources of English
computer vocabulary root in the conventional word-formation types. However,
the enrichment process of the computer terminology of English incorporates
the emergence of the word-formation ways and means, authentic for the given
lexical sub-system. Moreover, the evolutionary progress of cybervocabulary
determines the new conceptual approach to the "word-formation element"
notion. The ontological paradigmatic parameters of English
cyber-vocabulary are featured from the following perspectives:
lexico-semantic perception of basic metaphysic dimensions of the
technosphere (that being "space" and "time") and the anthropologic
terminological categorization of technosphere, thus both the
anthropocentric and the sociocentric paradigmatics of English innovative
cyber-vocabulary being reflected.

Abstract:
The language of science fiction, and of fantasy, has a steep challenge:
that of the creation of other worlds, societies and characters that are
alien to us in diverse and fundamental ways, but still compelling and
knowable. This exciting book steps away from the issues of race, gender
and politics that have saturated sci-fi and fantasy criticism. Rather, it
challenges two widely held but poorly substantiated beliefs circulating
about science fiction and fantasy - that they are
a) written in plain and unremarkable prose
b) apt to present characters that are flat types
rather than fully realised individuals.
Mandala draws on traditional syntactic categories of stylistic analysis as
well as the relatively more recent pragmatic and sociolinguistic paradigms
such that the original analyses here take our understanding of these two
genres beyond the usual confines, to consider how language is used to draw
alternative words, represent the far future and distant past, and create
psychologically believable characters.
Covering both British and American fiction and television, this is a
wide-ranging and perceptive book.
