While most courses in Egyptian Arabic teach the essentials of syntax, morphology, and vocabulary, this second in a series of three books takes the student a step beyond and focuses on colorful expressions used by native speakers. The learner will advance from knowing how to form a good sentence to being able to express his or her thoughts about the ups and downs of daily life using culturally appropriate phrases.
Following the first volume which highlighted the many expressions used to describe people, their characteristics, their behaviors, and their attitudes, this second volume focuses on proverbs and their use. Each entry is given fully voweled, and definitions (including connotation) and explanations are given in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. The book also contains a large number of exercises.

"Scientia est potentia" (knowledge is power)! "More Latin for the Illiterati" demystifies the terminology of modern courtrooms and hospitals, untangles some of the most complex and unforgiving examples of Latin abbreviation, and allows readers to explore the classical roots of law, medicine and the ministry.
This new collection contains nearly 5000 entries devoted to law, medicine and religion, and includes phrases like: jus sibi dicere-- to take the law into one's own hands
hircosus-- smelling like a goat
opprobrium medicum �the reproach of physicians�--an incurable disease
ita et viri debent diligere uxores ut corpora sua--so men ought to love their wives as their own bodies �"Ephesians" 5:28�
ludere cum sacris--to trifle with sacred things
amicus curiae--a friend of the court
Practicing or aspiring doctors, lawyers or ministers, language-lovers, students of literature--and anybody who loved" Latin for the Illiterati," will want" More..." This collection also makes an ideal gift.
Praise for the first "Illiterati" collection:
"If you're a student trying to improve your vocabulary, this is a great book... For those who have forgotten their three years of parochial-school Latin, this is really great book." "--Publisher's Weekly"
"A ready-reference dream come true...""--American Libraries"

This classic book on the Icelandic language was written to aid the military, the businessman, the traveler, or any foreign resident in Iceland. Originally published in 1945, the grammar gives reliable information on pronunciation, inflexions, and syntax of the language. The texts are partly grammatical exercises for the beginner, partly colloquial dialogues, or descriptions of customs and manners in Iceland -- town and country. The geography and nature of the country is also discussed and elucidated with maps and drawings.

The volume provides elements of a theory of variation. In contrast to the traditional structuralist, dialectological or sociolinguistic acceptances of the term, variation here no longer refers to the selection of functionally equivalent linguistic alternatives dependent on established co-occurrence rules, stable social milieus or the norms of well-defined situations. Instead it is taken to mean the flexible handling of linguistic elements of differing provenance with specific functions relative to concrete interaction. But though usages are not codified, this does not mean that they are arbitrary or purely individual. They prove to be identifiable as differentiations conditional upon existing differentiations. The articles indicate the generalized structures of semiological processes in self-differentiating societies.

Zahlreiche Studien haben sich in diesem Jahrhundert mit der Frage beschaftigt, nach welchen Massgaben und Prinzipien die Gedichtbucher der augusteischen Dichter gestaltet wurden. Der Zugang zu ahnlichen Fragestellungen bei Martial ist immer dadurch erschwert worden, dass seine Gedichtbucher wesentlich mehr Stucke sehr unterschiedlicher Thematik umfassen, doch seit einigen Jahrzehnten sind auch hierzu Arbeiten erschienen. Johannes Scherf stellt in der hier vorliegenden Studie die bisherigen Ansatze zusammen und verknupft sie mit dem Ziel, die Gestaltungsmittel, derer Martial sich bei der Konzeption seiner Bucher bediente, deutlich herauszustellen."

"The Key to Arabic Book Two" builds on the reading and writing skills taught in the first book in the series by introducing students to simple sentence structures and key aspects of Arabic grammar, together with a basic vocabulary of well over three hundred words and expressions. Students are taught how to greet people and say goodbye, how to introduce themselves and describe where they live, as well as speaking about their nationality. They are also taught some aspects of everyday etiquette. Through this book, students will gain an understanding of non-verbal and verbal sentences and will be introduced to past and present tense verbs in their simplest singular forms.They will also learn about attached and detached singular pronouns, uses of the three different cases (nominative, accusative and genitive), masculine and feminine nouns and adjectives, interrogatives (questioning words), adverbs, prepositions and many other points of grammar. Explanations are kept short and simple, and the use of colour coding throughout the book will assist students in learning to recognise the various case endings and verb conjugations more readily. Extensive exercises throughout the book provide ample opportunity for the reinforcement and application of the topics covered.

Ernst Jandl (1925a "2000) is a spectacular phenomenon. For an avant-garde experimental lyric poet he achieved a completely unusual level of popularity. Poems such as ottos mops (a ~fritza (TM)s bitcha (TM)) have long been in common currency. It is not the case, as is often argued, that laughing at Jandla (TM)s poems is not a coincidental effect of hisunusual use of language. There are multiple varieties of humour which Jandl transforms anew in his language. Despite this, the comic aspects of Jandla (TM)s work have hardly been researched. Anne Uhrmacher uses careful analysis to get to the bottom of his unparalleled effectiveness.

This book makes punctuation more fun and easier to learn than traditional approaches do. It teaches the natural way, by example: each lesson begins with quotes that exemplify good punctuation and sentence structure. Quotations are humorous and informative, drawn from the words of notable figures-Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Jerry Seinfeld, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, and many others. Short essays accompany each lesson, showing how each punctuation mark originated and how its use has altered over time. Correct punctuation is vital for clear, accurate, and natural writing. Anyone preparing a course assignment, applying for a job or for college admission, or doing any other formal writing needs to know the standard conventions of punctuation. Yet many people have never been taught how to punctuate. A necessary addition to any writer's bookshelf, this enjoyable book will teach readers to punctuate effectively and confidently-through over 500 memorable quotes and clear explanations of the rules.

This is a collection of research papers on competition in English affixation. It combines methodological chapters with descriptive chapters and incorporates both contributions by renowned international authors and also by younger researchers. The book presents diachronic and synchronic research both onomasiological and semasiological. The first three chapters review the literature and provide the theoretical framework for the experimental description of the remaining chapters.

Matthias HAlzner undertakes a systematic analysis of the valency behaviour of selected nouns in authentic texts. The studies are based on a multi-dimensional noun valency concept and provide important insights into the realisation of arguments within the noun phrase. As the analyses show, the arguments of valent nouns are however frequently realised outside the noun phrase, i.e. at the sentence or text level. Matthias HAlzner demonstrates how these freedoms in realising arguments in texts are used as a means of establishing coherence.

These articles all revolve around the complex imaging relations between semantic roles and diathetic categories such as active, passive and medium in Romance languages. The varying functional scope of these categories and the correspondingly multifarious relations between semantics, syntax and information structure of the sentence can only be appropriately discussed with a multi-factorial descriptive approach. Hence the perspective informing many of these articles is prototype-oriented and non-discrete. In most cases the authors take their bearings from the transitivity hypothesis proposed by Hopper and Thompson.

Living in a small reed hut within a traditional village on Taveuni, the "garden isle" of Fiji, deep in the South Seas. Studying the language, how words and grammar are brought to life through the manner in which they are reflected in social behavior. Established conventions had to be carefully observed, including rules concerning how to behave in the presence of a chief. Unknowingly, the author broke many of these. But he was forgiven, adopted into a family, and accepted as a (rather unusual) member of the community. There were five cyclones that season, of terrifying strength. Daily living was at one level idyllic, with fish and taro and breadfruit. But village life pulsated with factions and feuds. These were resolved by the stern but benevolent chief (the author's `big uncle') whose word was law. Cannibalism has been abandoned, reluctantly, at the behest of the new Christian God. But olden-days religion survived beneath the new facade, traditional priests dancing naked on the beach beneath a full moon. Surrealistic legends were recounted, one of which told of a princess born as a bird; she was murdered and thus became a comely maiden (but the murderer had to be cooked and eaten).

The My Korean series of textbooks offers a learner-centered, communicative task-based, interactive approach to learning contemporary Korean.
