This book contains eight studies on Functional Discourse Grammar
(FDG), with work by FDG's foremost proponents, who provide both an
introduction to the theory and a glimpse of current research
projects. FDG derives its name from taking the discourse act as the
basic unit of linguistic analysis. Each such unit receives four
paralle analyses displaying its interpersonal, representational,
morphosyntactic and phonological characteristics respectively. What
is striking about the emergence of FDG is that it enters into
lively debate with various other contemporary frameworks that share
its functionalist orientation. This facet of FDG is highlighted in
this book, every chapter of which brings out the interconnectedness
of current theoretical trends.

"Put on your hiking shoes, pack your binoculars, and rediscover the
City of Angels." --Westways Magazine Los Angeles may have a
reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it's full of
amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it! Equal
parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild LA has
something for everyone. It looks at the factors that shape local
nature--including fire, floods, and climate--and profiles over 100
local species, from easy-to-spot squirrels and praying mantids to
more elusive green sea turtles, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions.
Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore
natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and in your own
backyard.
This book addresses and synthesizes recent basic, translational,
and clinical research with the goal of understanding the mechanisms
behind autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and how they lead to altered
brain function and behavior. Bringing clarity to these
mechanisms will lead to more effective therapies for the various
heterogeneous pathologies that comprise ASD. Currently there are
few, if any, proven therapies for the majority of the disorders.
Among the topic addressed are neural plasticity, neuroimmunology,
neuroinflammation, neuroimaging, and appropriate animal and genetic
models.

The object of "Residue Reviews" is to provide concise, critical
reviews of timely advances, philosophy, and significant areas of
accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of residues of
pesticide and certain other chemicals in foods, feeds, and in
transformed food products. During the 144th National Meetings of
the American Chemical Society in Los Angeles, California the
Pesticides Subdivision of the A. C. S. Division of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry on April 1, 1963 sponsored a symposium "Instrumen
tation for the Detection and Determination of Pesticides and Their
Residues in Foods." With special permission from R. N. HADER and
his associates in the American Chemical Society, that symposium is
reproduced in this volume of "Residue Reviews" because of its
timeliness and significance to pesticide residue analysts
everywhere. Without exception the symposium authors accepted my
invitation to utilize "Residue Reviews" as their publication
medium, and their coopera tion in the extra chore of providing
manuscripts conforming to the style requirements of "Residue
Reviews" is gratefully acknowledged. Presiding over the two
sessions of the symposium were CHARLES L. DUNN and MILTON S.
SCHECHTER, whose introductory remarks at that time comprise the
foreword to this volume; their enthusiastic assistance both in
organizing the symposium and in achieving this final product is
warmly appreciated. F. A. G."
English Pronunciation for Speakers of Spanish fills a gaping hole
in the market for books on English phonetics and pronunciation
because it not only combines theoretical issues and applications to
practice, but it also adopts a contrastive English-Spanish approach
to better suit the needs of Spanish-speaking learners of English
(SSLE), enabling them to build gradually on the knowledge gained in
each chapter. The book covers the key concepts of English phonetics
and phonology in seven chapters written in an accessible and
engaging style: 1. Phonetics and Phonology 2. The Production and
Classification of Speech Sounds 3. Vowels and Glides 4. Consonants
5. Segment Dynamics: Aspects of Connected Speech 6. Beyond the
Segment: Stress and Intonation 7. Predicting Pronunciation from
Spelling (and vice versa) Features: in-text audio illustrations, as
well as over a hundred written and audio exercises with
corresponding keys and different kinds of artwork (Tables, Figures,
illustrations, spectrograms, etc.) classic readings in the
discipline in the Further Reading section of each chapter
highlights the phonetic contrasts and specific cues that are more
important to aid comprehension in English and offers guidelines on
"correct" pronunciation habits to help SSLE sound as close as
possible to native English The book's companion website, EPSS
Multimedia Lab, can be used on computers, smartphones and tablets,
and is useful for the self-taught student and the busy lecturer
alike. Features of the website: a complete sound bank defining and
illustrating the sounds of English RP as compared with those of
Peninsular Spanish written definitions and animated diagrams,
videos and original recordings (by native speakers of English and
Spanish) showing the articulation of each sound, alongside its most
common spellings, as well as pronunciation practice for individual
words and whole sentences a comprehensive selection of over a
hundred written and audio exercises (with their keys) for practice
both at home or in the language lab audio files corresponding to
the audio illustrations given in the written book a repository of
useful resources by topics and a list of online glossaries and
pronunciation dictionaries
