This book documents the history of ideas about problem gambling and its link to addictive disorders. The book uses a combination of literature review and conceptual and linguistic analysis to explore the way ideas about problem gambling gave changed over time. It examines the religious, socio-cultural, and medical influences on the development of the concept of problem gambling as a disease, along with the ways in which such ideas were influenced by attitudes about substance abuse. The history of mental illness, notably as it pertains to themes such as loss of control over behavior, is also addressed. The book ends with a discussion of the current status and future prospects, with an eye to which ideas about problem gambling and addictions seem most promising and which should perhaps be left behind.u200b

An extension of Turner''s conclusions in volume 3 of Moulton''s Grammar of New Testament Greek. A positive contribution to the permanent meaning of controversial passages in the New Testament.

Qu''est-ce que l''infinitif anglais ? S''agit-il de la base verbale ou de l''infinitif avec To ? Comment expliquer la fonction du gérondif par rapport à ces formes ? Peut-on considérer l''infinitif français précédé d''un opérateur tel que à ou de comme comparable à la forme To+base verbale en anglais ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, l''auteur essaie d''établir la valeur fondamentale de chacune des formes nominalisées anglaises (base verbale, To+base verbale et gérondif) et de déterminer son rôle dans le système cohérent des repérages interpropositionnels et interprocès de l''anglais. L''infinitif français, précédé ou non d''un opérateur (à, de, pour), fait l''objet d''une étude du même ordre permettant de souligner les convergences et les divergences entre les systèmes de repérage des deux langues. Ce travail s''appuie essentiellement sur l''analyse détaillée d''un corpus bilingue d''énoncés authentiques et variés (textes littéraires, bandes dessinées, notices et modes d''emploi, etc.), ainsi que de leurs traductions publiées. Il s''adresse à tous ceux qui, traducteurs, linguistes, enseignants et étudiants, s''intéressent aux spécificités du français et de l''anglais. Nigel Turner est Maître de Conférences à l''Université Paris XII-Val de Marne avec le concours de laquelle cet ouvrage est publié.
