One Mind, Two Languages surveys current research in language
processing - from both linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives
- in individuals who speak more than one language. Such research
bears on a broad range of questions relating to whether language
can shape thought and what it means to be proficient in a language,
as well as formal theories of linguistics and language processing.
The volume focuses on how the multi-language user represents and
processes linguistic information. Chapters include an overview of
methodological issues in bilingual research, new empirical
research, and extensive summaries of relevant past work.
This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in
state-of-the-art research on the status of language processing in
bilinguals.
School days in Guiana, Glasgow and Fife, two years in the Army and
six years studying Medicine turned the boy into a doctor. Dreaming
dreams with Avril, their marriage, their family and their affinity
for common spiritual and material values set them on a pilgrimage
of repeated challenges. Three years in a mission hospital in
apartheid South Africa, conflicting interests of specialization and
family responsibilities didn't deter the writer from returning to
South Africa to develop the Orthopaedic Service for the Transkei
before settling in Halifax, West Yorkshire. In time another phase
of life beckoned. Ordained to the ministry in the United Reformed
Church, churches in Newcastle, Ashington, the Borders,
Pietermaritzburg, have all heard the sermon on the Hip Joint.
Changing attitudes in Medicine and the Church, as in society
worldwide are described from a personal, family, often humorous
perspective as the journey "Against the Grain" unfolds.
The Dark Side of Reform: Exploring the Impact of Public Policy on
Racial Equity contains nine chapters on the development of social
policies with the potential to advance racial equity. In addition
to studying these policies and their implications, the chapters in
this volume demonstrate how lessons from the past can be used to
inform the direction of current discussions. At the heart of these
conversations are concerns about whether Black people, in
particular, will receive the full benefit of transformative laws
that may emerge in the coming years. The volume also offers
recommendations on implementing policies that address the unique
concerns of structurally disadvantaged communities with particular
emphasis on Black and Latinx people.
As a lighthouse of hope, the U.S. has flourished because of the
power of the gospel. But now there is an enemy-powerful forces at
work to destroy her divine destiny as "one nation under God." Will
she go the way of ancient Rome? Or are her best days ahead? The
answer to these questions, and more, depends on the Church Jesus is
calling His body to rise up, fast, pray and take action with Him in
a victorious battle for America's destiny
'Post-black' refers to an emerging trend within black arts to find
new and multiple expressions of blackness, unburdened by the social
and cultural expectations of blackness of the past and moving
beyond the conventional binary of black and white. Reflecting this
multiplicity of perspectives, the plays in this collection explode
the traditional ways of representing black families on the American
stage, and create new means to consider the interplay of race, with
questions of class, gender, and sexuality. They engage and critique
current definitions of black and African-American identity, as well
as previous limitations placed on what constitutes blackness and
black theatre. Written by the emerging stars of American theatre
such as Eisa Davis and Marcus Gardley, the plays explore themes as
varied as family and individuality, alienation and gentrification,
and reconciliation and belonging. They demonstrate a wide-range of
formal and structural innovations for the American theatre, and
reflect the important ways in which contemporary playwrights are
expanding the American dramatic canon with new and diverse means of
representation. Edited by two leading US scholars in black drama,
Harry J. Elam Jr (Stanford) and Douglas A. Jones Jr (Princeton),
this cutting edge anthology gathers together some of the most
exciting new American plays, selected by a rigorous academic
backbone and explored in depth by supporting critical material.
Silenced, subjugated, and struggling to find affirmation and true
identity...these have forged chains around women since the Fall.
It's time for women to experience the dignity, destiny, and truth
of their identity from the beginning The Empowered Woman reveals
how God, at creation, intricately wove His likeness into male and
female. Both share common traits of leadership as fiery ones, yet
each has individual qualities as God's image. Hebrew roots show the
woman's design for community and connection, as communicators,
face-to-face counterparts with men, as visionary leaders with
intuition, and even as a warrior bride for divine purpose, and more
Learn how the Fall renamed and redefined a woman's identity and how
it has played out in life, relationships, and cultures, but how the
Last Adam restores her to full authentic design These 200-pages
will delight your heart as you realize the truth, freedom and
purpose that women are called to experience as empowered daughters
of God for such a time as this It's time
