La irrupción de la pragmática en los estudios lingüísticos, suscitada por los inaugurales trabajos de John Austin, y proseguida por autores tan célebres como Searle, Grice o Strawson, supuso que los

Un ensayo certero y con un enfoque novedoso sobre el uso y el abuso de la palabra fascismo en la actualidad. Este breve ensayo no pretende dilucidar si es riguroso o no usar la palabra fascismo en los años veinte del siglo XXI. Tampoco analiza si se abusa de ella como estrategia electoral. Se pregunta en cambio por la emocion politica que mueve a quien la utiliza para señalar a un adversario, y disecciona, con un argumento sorprendente y luminoso, el caracter siniestro que esconden las lecturas contemporaneas del pasado que recurren a la historia como profecia y advertencia.

Se aborda el análisis de la relación e interdependencia de los componentes sintáctico y semántico del lenguaje con el propósito de poner de manifiesto la necesidad de integrar ambos aspectos en el analisis y descripcion de los fenomenos linguisticos. La obra se compone de nueve trabajos: el primero de ellos es un estudio teorico sobre la naturaleza de la interfaz Sintaxis-Semantica mientras que en los ocho restantes se investiga dicha relacion en los niveles oracional, lexico y textual.

The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories describes the origins and sense development of over 11,000 words in the English language. Well-known idioms such as ''say it with flowers'' are highlighted with the dates of their original use and how and when they came about. Colorful popular beliefs are explored about the origins of words like ''posh'' and ''snob,'' and insights are given into our social history revealed by language development such as the connection in a Roman soldier''s mind of ''salary'' with salt. Throughout, boxed word-building elements show the various meanings of shared ''relationships'' between words. Dictionaries of etymology and word histories differ greatly in what is increasingly being called ''accessibility'' or ''user-friendliness.'' This new work from Oxford, which provides the histories of more than 12,000 words, is definitely on the accessible side. Virtually all of the words are common, ''everyday'' words--core words--with only a handful of the exotics to which editors of other collections of word histories are drawn. Chantrell discusses the words straightforwardly and with a bit more vivacity than might be expected. In addition, her information is undoubtedly fresher than anyone else''s, drawn as it is from the database of ongoing research for the Oxford English Dictionary. Each entry includes the date of first recorded use and a brief discussion of the term''s origin and evolution. Prefixes are treated in boxed ''Wordbuilding'' features. A distinct gesture of friendliness on Chantrell''s part is her decision to spell out words that would ordinarily be abbreviated in scholarly works and even in some nonscholarly dictionaries. T. F. Hoad''s Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (Oxford, 1993), perhaps the most accessible of the scholarly choices, is prefaced by a list of almost 400 abbreviations, the use of which no doubt contributed substantially to its conciseness. In another nod to user-friendliness, many of the words abbreviated in Hoad--ablative, substantival, indeclinable, frequentative, and so on--are not to be found in Chantrell''s word histories. Still, within the zone of popular word histories, Chantrell sets herself against several formidable and well-established
