Discourse Analysis (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics). Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1983. xii 4-288pp. £20.00 (hard cover), £6.95 (paperback). Reviewed by ISTVÁN KENESEI, Attila József University Discourse analysis is to linguistics somewhat like medicín is to biology. Both the discourse analyst and the physician are faced with something 'real', in contrast with the theoretical objects, such as the phoneme or the genetic code, of the linguist or the biologist. The latter are primarily interested in overall explanations or theories, whereas the former in analysis, inference and generalization. While discourse analysis and medicine make consisiderable use of the conceptual schemes of linguistics and biology, respectively, their own concepts, eg. coherence or allergy, are quite loose and ill-defined.

Amidst the recent explosion of interest in linguistic science and the subsequent publication of large numbers of introductory works on the subject, O'Grady et al.'s Contemporary Linguistics (5 th ed.) stands out as a solid general purpose primer directed at an academic audience. Written by some eighteen contributors specializing in each of the seventeen branches of linguistics covered, topics are judiciously chosen while drawing on current scholarship and integrating different theoretical persuasions, without losing sight of the book's target readership. The result is an up-to-date text balanced in its treatment of subject matter and perspectives-a work that lives up to its moniker of "Contemporary" Linguistics.

A Brief Bibliography on Black Vernacular English I have put together a brief list of titles to assist those of you who would like to conduct research on Black Vernacular English and African-derived cultural practices. The older titles are included because they are considered classics and most recent works rely to some extent on the earlier, seminal studies. Overall, most of the titles identify works of particular interest to teachers.

The objective of the article is to present a comparative analysis of English, German, French, Spanish and Russian idiomatic expressions containing the component of colour in their structure. Colour meaning important for focal colours and their synonyms is converted to a figurative meaning that goes beyond colour by means of metaphoric or metonymic transfer. Colour and its shades expressed by different models and constructions are used in comparisons and metaphors. Colourless vocabulary used in figurative meaning in the context obtains the colour meaning. Colour symbolism is expressed in the context, in different ways of colour denoting, in the colour term itself. Colour oppositions (for example, black-and-white opposition) that contain their figurative meaning are based on the colour differences. There are several ways to convey colour tones. Thus, unsaturated tones can be expressed by joining the colour name of the element general to focal adjectives to the stem. It has been reveal...
