Categories in Social Interaction
This book investigates the situated (re)production of categories, from the most mundane and unremarkable to those most strongly associated with power and privilege.By examining the reciprocal relationships between categorial phenomena and the basic structures and practices of social interaction, the book provides a new framework for integrating conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis. Across its ten chapters, the book describes a conversation analytic approach to studying categories and categorization, charts the development and history of membership categorization analysis, and addresses core methodological challenges and practices associated with using this approach.After mapping out the new framework developed in the book, each chapter describes intersections between categorial phenomena and the domains that comprise the infrastructure of social interaction.The book concludes by exploring applications, interventions, and impacts of understanding categories in ways examined across the preceding chapters, and by considering future avenues for excavating categorial practices in the ordinary, institutional, and technological settings of human social life. Categories in Social Interaction is essential reading for social scientists with an interest in categories of people and categorizing practices, and especially for practitioners and students of conversation analysis, membership categorization, ethnomethodology, and discursive psychology.

Aristotle's Categories and Propositions
"This is a really excellent translation of the two Aristotelian works. The author respects English idiom and traditional understanding of the terms in a way that is truly remarkable. For instance, the names of the categories keep in English the full force of the original Greek designations, without strain on the English words. I noted numerous instances of this happy faculty as I read the translation."-Joseph OwnesPontifical Institute of Medieval Studies

Prosodic Weight : Categories and Continua
This volume provides the most comprehensive treatment of phonological weight to date, bringing together traditional notions of categorical, rime-based weight and new developments in statistical prosodic phonology.The book demonstrates that while some systems treat weight as a simple (heavy vs. light) distinction, others treat it as a rich continuum of heaviness.Following an introduction to weight-sensitive systems in phonology, Kevin Ryan explores the range of phenomena that interact with prosodic weight.Chapters examine the analysis of scales in terms of prominence rather than moraic coercion; prosodic minimality in the context of larger prosodic constituents; syllable weight in metrics; and the relationship between prosodic end-weight and stress.Throughout, the analysis is based on a survey of weight systems both within and across the world's languages, which yields a number of valuable generalizations and points towards a universal theory of weight in human language.

Ontological Categories : A Methodological Guide
Ontology – the study of the most fundamental categories of being – lies at the very heart of metaphysics.The reason why it appears to be so central is because it takes on the following questions: What sorts of entities are there?What features do those entities have? How do they relate to one another? And so on. Section 1 of this Element presents a fast-paced historical overview of some of the notable approaches to these questions.Section 2 tells the story of how one of the oldest, most disputed, but also most developed ontological categories – universals – got introduced.Section 3 builds on the discussion of universals as it considers the desiderata for a promising system of ontological categories. And Section 4 looks at ways in which philosophers might break with tradition and explore some new ontological categories.

Categories for the Working Mathematician
Categories for the Working Mathematician provides an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields.Starting from the foundations, this book illuminates the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality.The book then turns to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representations of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.These categorical concepts are extensively illustrated in the remaining chapters, which include many applications of the basic existence theorem for adjoint functors.The categories of algebraic systems are constructed from certain adjoint-like data and characterized by Beck's theorem.After considering a variety of applications, the book continues with the construction and exploitation of Kan extensions.This second edition includes a number of revisions and additions, including two new chapters on topics of active interest.One is onsymmetric monoidal categories and braided monoidal categories and the coherence theorems for them.The second describes 2-categories and the higher dimensional categories which have recently come into prominence.The bibliography has also been expanded to cover some of the many other recent advances concerning categories.

Categories. On Interpretation. Prior Analytics
The philosopher’s toolkit. Aristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, born at Stagirus in 384 BC, was the son of a physician.He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367–347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil in Asia Minor.After some time at Mitylene, in 343–342 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander.After Philip’s death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of “Peripatetics”), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander’s death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322. Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious).They can be categorized as follows:I Practical: Nicomachean Ethics; Great Ethics (Magna Moralia); Eudemian Ethics; Politics; Economics (on the good of the family); On Virtues and Vices. II Logical: Categories; Analytics (Prior and Posterior); Interpretation; Refutations used by Sophists; Topica. III Physical: Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about animals, etc. IV Metaphysics: on being as being. V Art: Rhetoric and Poetics. VI Other works including the Constitution of Athens; more works also of doubtful authorship. VII Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics, and metaphysics. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.
