We have created a different method that introduces an easier, more
efficient approach to understanding present, past, future of every
verb so you will know when to use the right tense depending on the
time frame used in each situation. Also, the correct pronunciation
of the verb will be at the bottom of each example. The book deals
with different situations and vocabulary. Questions and answers
will address such situations as going to the hotel, airport,
restaurant, store, pharmacy, emergency, etc. In addition numbers,
greetings, months, days, seasons, time, prepositions, articles,
adverbs of time and pronouns and the phonetic pronunciation are
also taught.

Observing writing: Insights from Keystroke Logging and Handwriting
is a timely volume appearing twelve years after the Studies in
Writing volume Computer Keystroke Logging and Writing (Sullivan
& Lindgren, 2006). The 2006 volume provided the reader with a
fundamental account of keystroke logging, a methodology in which a
piece of software records every keystroke, cursor and mouse
movement a writer undertakes during a writing session. This new
volume highlights current theoretical and applied research
questions in keystroke logging and handwriting research that
observes writing. In this volume, contributors from a range of
disciplines, including linguistics, psychology, neuroscience,
modern languages, and education, present their research that
considers the cognitive and socio-cultural complexities of writing
texts in academic and professional settings.
In the field of second language (L2) acquisition, the number of
studies focusing on L2 pronunciation instruction and
perceptual/production training has increased as new classroom
methodologies have been proposed and new goals for L2 pronunciation
have been set. This book brings together different approaches to L2
pronunciation research in the classroom or in the language
laboratory. 13 chapters, written by well-known researchers focusing
on a variety of first and target languages, are divided into four
parts: Pronunciation development and intelligibility: implications
for teaching and training studies; L2 pronunciation teaching; L2
pronunciation training: implications for the classroom; and
Pronunciation in the laboratory: High Variability Phonetic
Training. Intended for researchers in the fields of second language
acquisition, phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics, speech
therapies, speech technology, as well as second language teaching,
this book not only summarizes the current research questions on L2
pronunciation teaching and training, but also predicts future
scenarios for both researchers and practitioners in the field.

The volume on Semantics and Pragmatics presents a collection of
studies on linguistic meaning in Japanese, either as conventionally
encoded in linguistic form (the field of semantics) or as generated
by the interaction of form with context (the field of pragmatics),
representing a range of ideas and approaches that are currently
most influentialin these fields. The studies are organized around a
model that has long currency in traditional Japanese grammar,
whereby the linguistic clause consists of a multiply nested
structure centered in a propositional core of objective meaning
around which forms are deployed that express progressively more
subjective meaning as one moves away from the core toward the
periphery of the clause. The volume seeks to achieve a balance in
highlighting both insights that semantic and pragmatic theory has
to offer to the study of Japanese as a particular language and,
conversely, contributions that Japanese has to make to semantic and
pragmatic theory in areas of meaning that are either uniquely
encoded, or encoded to a higher degree of specificity, in Japanese
by comparison to other languages, such as conditional forms, forms
expressing varying types of speaker modality, and social deixis.
Disciplinary knowledge is under threat in the modern world. Claims
abound that we are entering a landscape in which the division of
disciplines is obsolete, implying a commitment to outdated values
in scholarship. Notions of discipline are critiqued as reflecting
social power and representing the worldview of dominant social
groups. By addressing and challenging such claims, this edited
collection argues that proclamations of the death of disciplines
have been greatly overstated. Not only are the notions of
disciplinarity still important for understanding how we come to
know the world, but this volume demonstrates how significant
disciplinarity is to understanding different forms of knowledge if
we wish to improve the building of knowledge and educational
practice. Using analytical tools from systemic functional
linguistics theory and social realist sociology, this volume
illustrates how different disciplines can collaborate and
cross-fertilize successfully, without losing their distinctive
insights and disciplinary integrity. The subsequent theory
developed will thereby extend both linguistic and sociological
approaches to the topic and make a major contribution to
educational theory.
