The book focuses on studies exploring both empirical/experimental and theoretical aspects of the acquisition of syntax and its interfaces with morphology, with semantics/pragmatics, and language change. The volume includes chapters on the child and adult acquisition of European and Brazilian Portuguese, and several chapters that also compare and

Industrial Robots Programming focuses on designing and building robotic manufacturing cells, and explores the capabilities of today’s industrial equipment as well as the latest computer and software technologies. Special attention is given to the input devices and systems that create efficient human-machine interfaces, and how they help non-technical personnel perform necessary programming, control, and supervision tasks. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and illustrative applications, J. Norberto Pires covers robotics programming as it applies to: Th

To varying degrees, nations worldwide are at present struggling to meet their obligations under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).This agreement, which to a large extent supersedes all previous international conventions on intellectual property rights, promises to provide virtually global protection against fraud, piracy, and infringement for owners of patents, copyrights, trade marks, and trade secrets -- provided government officials everywhere implement its requirements. It is with the intent of facilitating such comp

The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on TradeRelated Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to a large extent incorporates and/or supersedes all previous international conventions on intellectual property rights. It provides, therefore, for a general and mandatory framework worldwide for the protection and enforcement of those rights. For this reason, the TRIPS Agreement has a direct impact on the daily life of corporations, governments and consumers. This book with the authoritative stamp of an experienced international functionary in the field--formerly with the WTO and

Ethnic Marketing is a practical guide to marketing to ethnic communities in various countries and cultures. There is growing evidence that the cultural and ethnic diversity of many advanced and newly industrialising economies is increasing, and that ethnic minorities, are seeking to maintain their identity. A systematic exposition of how to develop an effective marketing strategy targeting ethnic groups within a country has been lacking until now. Ethnic Marketing recognises the importance that individual ethnic groups and their institutions can have for marketing, hence the focus is on the et
