A Grammar of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts is designed as a
six-volume study of the earliest comprehensive corpus of ancient
Egyptian texts, inscribed in the pyramids of five pharaohs of the
Old Kingdom (ca. 2325–2150 BC) and several of their queens. The
first volume, devoted to the earliest corpus, that of Unis, is
based on a database that allows for detailed analysis of the
orthography of the texts and every aspect of their grammar; it
includes a complete hieroglyphic lexicon of the texts and a
consecutive transcription and translation on facing pages. The
grammatical analysis incorporates both the most recent advances in
the understanding of Egyptian grammar and a few new interpretations
published here for the first time.
This text is intended to help those students who have progressed
beyond introductory course books to translate from Latin into
English. There are explanations of each Latin construction, graded
exercises, plus notes and exercises on Latin words and usages which
cut across several constructions.
A Grammar of Old English, Volume II: Morphology completes Richard
M. Hogg's two-volume analysis of the sounds and grammatical forms
of the Old English language. * Incorporates insights derived from
the latest theoretical and technological advances, which post-date
most Old English grammars * Utilizes the databases of the Toronto
Dictionary of Old English project - a digital corpus comprising at
least one copy of each text surviving in Old English * Features
separation of diachronic and synchronic considerations in the
sometimes complicated analysis of Old English noun morphology *
Includes extensive bibliographical coverage of Old English

Writing Centers have traditionally been viewed as marginalized
facilities within their institutions. At the same time, faculty in
all disciplines have come to stress the importance of good writing,
and institutions have created Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC)
Programs to address this concern. Often, the interests of Writing
Centers conflict with those of WAC programs, and the theoretical
foundations of the two may not necessarily be the same.
Nonetheless, Writing Centers--whether voluntarily or
involuntarily--have become more involved with efforts to promote
Writing Across the Curriculum and have formed fruitful partnerships
with WAC Programs. While journal articles have begun to discuss
these partnerships, this book offers an extended treatment of the
topic. By examining the relationships between Writing Centers and
WAC programs, this volume challenges the view that Writing Centers
are marginalized and demonstrates how they are aggressively moving
toward the curricular center of education.
Each chapter examines the evolving theoretical, practical, and
institutional relationships between Writing Centers and Writing
Across the Curriculum programs. By drawing from institutionally
specific experiences, expert contributors present a variety of
approaches for establishing and developing effective Writing
Center/WAC partnerships. Included are perspectives from established
and emerging theorists from all levels, including high schools,
community colleges, small four-year colleges and universities, and
major research institutions. The contributors accurately portray
the true diversity of Writing Center/WAC partnerships and assess
the compatibility of these partnerships with larger institutional
missions. The volume touches on such topics as the use of computers
in writing instruction, the use of student writing tutors, and the
problems inherent in discipline-specific language. By deepening our
knowledge of the merging of Writing Centers and WAC Programs, this
book sets the foundation for more advanced future research.
This book showcases the state of the art in the corpus-based
linguistics of medieval Celtic languages. Its chapters detail
theoretical advances in analysing variation/change in the Celtic
languages and computational tools necessary to process/analyse the
data. Many contributions situate the Celtic material in the broader
field of corpus-based diachronic linguistics. The application of
computational methods to Celtic languages is in its infancy and
this book is a first in medieval Celtic Studies, which has mainly
concentrated on philological endeavours such as editorial and
literary work. The Celtic languages represent a new frontier in the
development of NLP tools because they pose special challenges, like
complicated inflectional morphology with non-straightforward
mappings between lemmata and attested forms, irregular orthography,
and consonant mutations. With so much data available in
non-electronic form and ongoing efforts to convert these data to
computer-readable format, there is much room for the
developing/testing of new tools. This books provides an overview of
this process at a crucial time in the development of the field and
aims to the data accessible to computational linguists with an
interest in diachronic change.
