Linguistics for Everyone: An Introduction

LINGUISTICS FOR EVERYONE: AN INTRODUCTION, Second Edition, will capture the interest of all students, regardless of major, and offer them a thorough, engaging introduction to the science of language. To achieve this goal, the authors devised a unique arrangement of chapters that distinguishes this book from conventional introductory linguistics textbooks. Without sacrificing rigor, the authors focus on larger themes rather than on technical details or formal analysis. The book opens with a strong introductory chapter addressing basics such as how to define language, prescriptive versus descriptive grammar, differences between the human language system and other animal communication systems, and so on. The second chapter, devoted to language, mind, and brain, addresses both psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic evidence for humans' innate capacity for language. To address core linguistics areas in depth, there are two chapters each on phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Throughout the text, special features relate the study of linguistics to the language we use in the real world and every chapter includes innovative and varied activities that review and practice the content and offer your students many opportunities to apply the knowledge in their own lives.

De tudo fica um pouco

Nesta antologia organizada por Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil, as influências não estão escondidas, mas em primeiro plano. Além disso, não são apenas literárias. Telas, músicas, fotografias: tudo pode ser (e é) matéria-prima para a literatura. Os dezesseis autores aqui reunidos apontam sem pudor as obras com as quais dialogam seus contos. E fazem isso quase como uma provocação, pois sabem que seus textos não dependam da revelação dessas influências para serem degustados.

We all have them: trials. Whether its dealing with a wayward child or getting along with coworkers or keeping the house clean and food on the table day after day, everyone has their own set of trials that threaten to overwhelm them. And we all know someone else who seems to have risen above their own personal crisis and is perfectly happy with their world, problems and all. How do they do it? The secret: balance. Balance is the foundation upon which we can build happiness and stability in life. In their book, A Balanced Life, Drs.

Their experiences are real. Their case studies are real. Their strategies are real, and their commitment to helping people achieve balance in life is real. A Balanced Life will prove to be a valuable companion to those who are struggling to overcome their circumstances. Whether you feel that you need to turn your life completely around or simply that you want to be a happier person in general, this book with its examples and explanations will give you the knowledge you need to find the power to bring balance into your own world.

'Till Death Do Us Part

Every day six people in the United States are murdered by spouses or intimate partners. The stories of killer spouses tend to captivate us, as they beg the question of how so many seemingly normal and happy people manage to go over the edge. Indeed, every relationship presents "extreme moments" where scary feelings surface, yet what happens when those feelings turn to action? In Till Death Do Us Part, noted psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig, along with journalist Matt Birkbeck, presents the psychological profiles of notorious killer spouses -- from Scott Peterson and Clara Harris to Rabbi Fred Neulander and Betty Broderick. Ludwig reveals ten killer personality types. These ten personality types are defined in detail and illustrated with examples from high-profile cases along with in-depth analyses of the motivations behind the murders. The ten types range from the Betrayal/Abandonment Killer (who loses control and kills from a broken heart) to the Control Killer (who micromanages every aspect of the spouse's life) and the Black Widow/Profit Killer (who kills for money). With gripping stories and probing insight, authors Ludwig and Birkbeck examine the concept of peaceful versus violent resolution and why certain spouses believe murder is the best and only response. In an age when spousal murder is headline news, Till Death Do Us Part explores a phenomenon that many spouses can't help but think about at some point in their relationships -- which sheds light on the very notion of "happily ever after."
