    This volume examines the uses of technologies in language test design and validation. Following Cyril Weir's socio-cognitive framework, it reports a series of research studies to shed light on the efficacy and challenges of using technologies in key areas of language test validation. Technology has become an important resource for refining methods of assessment and research. This volume focuses on the uses of cutting-edge technologies in language test design and validation. Using Professor Cyril J Weir???s socio-cognitive framework as a basis, diverse contributors explore the potential and limitations of applying innovations in data collection to language assessment research, and address the validity issues arising from the use of artificial intelligence such as automated scoring and feedback. In addition, the volume reflects on how fit-for-purpose the socio-cognitive framework is for language assessment research and practice in light of technological advances.

    "Kant on Freedom, Nature and Judgment Kant's Critique of Judgment seems not to be an obviously unified work. Unlike other attempts to comprehend it as a unity, which treat it as serving either practical or theoretical interests, Kristi Sweet's book posits it as examining a genuinely independent sphere of human life. In her in-depth account of Kant's Critical philosophical system, Sweet argues that the Critique addresses the question: for what may I hope? The answer is given in Kant's account of 'territory,' a region of experience that both underlies and mediates between freedom and nature. Territory forms the context in which purposiveness without a purpose, the Ideal of Beauty, the sensus communis, genius and aesthetic ideas, and Kant's conception of life and proof of God are best interpreted. Encounters in this sphere are shown to refer us to a larger, more cosmic sense of a whole to which both freedom and nature belong"

    Offering sweeping insights and challenging conclusions, this book revolutionizes our understanding of the musical revolution of the fifteenth century. Renaissance composers developed fresh ways of manipulating musical flow in pursuit of intensifications, unexpected explosions, dramatic pauses, and sudden evaporations. A new aesthetics of opposition, as this study calls it, can be contrasted with smoother and less goal-oriented approaches in music from before-and after-the period ca. 1425-1520. Casting wide evidentiary and repertorial nets, the book reinterprets central genres, theoretical concepts, historical documents, famous pieces, and periodizations; a provocative concluding chapter suggests that we moderns have tended to conceal the period's musical poetics by neglecting central evidence Above all the book introduces an analytical approach sensitive to musical flow, and invites new ways of hearing, performing, and thinking about music from Du Fay to Josquin.

  • by Christopher D. (Durham University) Bahl
    £96.99

    In this essential new work, Christopher D. Bahl departs from the established historiography on trade, shipping and pilgrimage to argue for the emergence of Arabic learning as a crucial form of transoceanic mobility from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. From Egypt to the Hijaz, Yemen and further on to Gujarat and the Deccan, networks of manuscript circulation created shared social and cultural spaces across the early modern western Indian Ocean, in which South Asia was a key node of connection. Largely unstudied Arabic manuscripts from collections in ten different archives offer a new source-base to explore the region as a hub of Arabic scholarly culture, while marginalia and notes provide an empirical treasure trove for the study of social spaces and cultural practices. This is the first book to trace these truly transoceanic encounters between scholars, sultans, scribes, readers, and librarians.
