This Supplement is intended to provide a diverse and extensive range of additional practice material for use in mastering the grammatical content of Introducing Biblical Hebrew by Allen P. Ross (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2001). It is based upon the writing system, vocabulary, morphology and syntax of Biblical Hebrew as these are presented in Introducing Biblical Hebrew, running parallel to the first 41 chapters of that volume. Chapters 1-6 deal progressively with the introductory issues of writing and pronouncing Hebrew, with practice based upon Genesis 1-2. Three types of exercise accompany the study of vocabulary, morphology and syntax: parsing of isolated forms, with emphasis upon the verb (chapters 10-41); two sections of sentences composed in Hebrew, the first focussed upon the material of the current chapter and the second containing longer sentences drawn from all the material encountered up to that point (chapters 3-41, with isolated phrases initially); and three sections of passages drawn directly from the Hebrew Bible (chapters 9-41) - isolated verses containing salient features of the grammar studied at that point, longer prose passages (Gen 1:1-2:4, 22:1-19, Deut 8-11, Ruth 1-4, Gen 37:12-36), and short poetic passages from the Psalms (Ps 1, 121, 133, 100, 103, 19, 113, 27, 91, 34, 8). Unfamiliar forms and syntax in the OT passages are footnoted, making it possible to read them without recourse to additional language tools.

Described by Mary Beard in The Independent as 'the Rolls Royce of textbooks', Kennedy's classic 1888 guide has remained the pre-eminent Latin reference grammar in schools and universities for well over a century. This is a reissue of the first edition, which appeared the year before the author's death. Benjamin Hall Kennedy (1804 1889), headmaster of Shrewsbury School for thirty years before becoming Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, was probably assisted by his daughters in producing this completely revised version of an earlier, unsuccessful publication. From tables of nouns and verbs to obscure nuances of style, the book covered all the key points of Latin grammar and was detailed, well-organised and easy to use. This original Victorian edition will fascinate present-day students and teachers of Latin and historians of education.

Der Gedanke an das Sterben ist meist von AEngsten und Unsicherheiten gepragt. Dank der Fortschritte in der modernen Medizin ist es in vielen Fallen moeglich geworden, die letzte Phase des Lebens kunstlich zu verlangern. Gleichzeitig bieten (teils kommerzielle) Organisationen an, beim vorzeitigen Beenden des eigenen Lebens zu assistieren. Die Studie beschaftigt sich mit der Mediendebatte um die sogenannte Sterbehilfe. Sie untersucht diskursanalytisch, wie Akteure mit sprachlichen Mitteln um Deutungshoheit ringen und wie Konzepte in der Debatte medial vermittelt und diskutiert werden. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei der qualitativen Analyse der grammatischen Verknupfungsmittel (Konnektoren). Diese verbinden Aussagen miteinander und konstituieren damit kausale Zusammenhange im Diskurs.
