An edition of the Church Histories by John Diakrinomenos and Theodore Lector. It contains their texts along with the first translations into English and a commentary. The edition clearly distinguishes between the original content of the Histories and the later transmission of the information derived from them as can be found in later works.

Exploring the interface between literary studies and applied linguistics, the empirical investigations decode the 'voyage' as initiatory journey, as a quest for an existence code, or as a spiritual passage, while outlining the temporality and spatiality of emotions, their reasoning and representation in the public and private intercultural space.

This book is devoted to four Slavonic translations of three homilies of John of Damascus dedicated to the Mother of God. It examines their translational peculiarities and textual history. It provides an edition of the Church Slavonic translations and a Slavonic-Greek and Greek-Slavonic list of content words.

Regular foreign language courses accompanied by virtual content can facilitate higher order thinking skills. The students were noted to be more capable of evaluating and analysing content critically, planning their linguistic output, creating utterances and paraphrasing them.

The book is a monograph on Andrzej Bobkowski's writings, a Polish author, diarist, epistolograph, and essayist, most famous for his diary Wartime Notebooks: France 1940-1944. The monograph offers an insightful reading of the existential functions of writing, autobiographic strategies, and the axiological dimension of Bobkowski's works.

The book reconstructs a poetic vision of the world after the Fall and describes Czeslaw Milosz's model of modernism, shaped by his intellectual and existential division between pessimism and ecstasy, yearning for contact with the meaning of reality, and faith in the power of poetic imagination.

Esta obra ofrece un acercamiento a la oracion desde diversas perspectivas linguisticas, con atencion especial a la subordinacion oracional y sus repercusiones desde el punto de vista discursivo. Aunque todos los trabajos incluidos en este volumen se centran primordialmente en el espanol, algunos lo hacen adoptando una perspectiva contrastiva.

In sub-Saharan Africa, mobile technology has developed at a rapid pace and the numbers of mobile users have increased faster than those in the rest of the world. The underlying question of how mobile journalism and social media may support African citizens and contribute to social change forms the basis of this book. A qualitative content analysis provides the methodological framework to interpret the interviews with professional and citizen journalists and media experts. The results suggest that mobile and social media contribute to the plurality of journalism in Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa. Mobile and social media reporters are aware of ethical questions and journalistic standards; at the same time, they connect with local communities and adopt an advocative and subjective approach.
