Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes
Автор: Myles Garcia
Год издания: 0000
Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler Bernie Madoff look like a rank amateur. <br><br>With the passing of 30 years, this book becomes a full accounting of the rapacious and avaricious rule the pair enjoyed—how they hoodwinked an unsuspecting people, and the truth behind many of the dirty tricks they employed revealed at last. The present is an opportune time to take stock, especially as their only son and heir, Ferdinand, Jr., and others of his ilk, launches a comeback attempt for national office in this year's Philippine elections, and trying to re-fabricate history in the process. This book will set the record straight.

Именное словообразование в латинском языке и его отражение в терминологии. Laterculi vocum Latinarum et terminorum
Автор: Валентина Федоровна Новодранова
Год издания:
Монография охватывает широкий круг вопросов, связанных как с описанием именной системы латинского словообразования, ставшей основанием для словообразовательных систем европейских языков, так и с установлением той части этой системы, которая была использована для построения и организации медицинской терминологии. В монографии впервые решены задачи многоаспектного и разноуровневого анализа связей двух систем: естественной (именное словообразование) и искусственной (терминообразование в языке науки). Впервые дается подробная характеристика словообразовательных моделей и той, и другой системы, показаны процессы, происходящие при переходе от литературного языка к определенной терминосистеме. Такое исследование открывает собой новую страницу не только в латинистике, но и в общем языкознании и терминоведении. Монография рассчитана на аспирантов и специалистов в области классических языков, общего языкознания, сопоставительной лингвистики и терминоведения.
