 | Lingering Love - Sam, Brenner 10 Digit ISBN: 1425945473 13 Digit ISBN: 9781425945473 | | Samuel Abraham Brenner was born in Chicago in 1917 and moved to New York City when he was 2 years old. Shortly therafter, his parents divorced and he became a ward of the City of New York, living in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and being shuttled between countless foster homes for the rest of his childhood years. In his teenage years, he lived with his father and stepmother, and was intermittently taken away by his birth mother to live with her until the authorities would invariably catch up with them and take him back. His upbringing set him on a path of longing and being accustomed to deprivation, and to having loved ones taken from him. This theme of longing permeates the poetry he has been writing since the age of 15 that is compiled in his book "Lingering Love." But then he met his future wife, Lillian. They were exceedingly enamored with each other, and had similar likes in poetry and music, among other joys. Lillian is the inspiration for the beautiful romance poems in "Lingering Love," which set the stage for uplifting poems extolling the wonderous beauty of nature that are also a prominent component of "Lingering Love." Another aspect of Sam Brenner's poetry mingles longing with political activism, to provoke his readers to strive for a more humane world, and to never forget atrocities like the Holocaust, which is powerfully depicted in his poem" Count to Six Million." This riveting poem has been included in the US Congressional Record, and immortalized in a video of the author reciting this poem that has been viewed by synagogues across the United States. The Honorable Sam Brenner is Poet Laureate and Past Mayor of Surfside, Florida, and Past President of the Greater MiamiChapter of the World Federalists Association. He has resided in South Florida for more than sixty years, with Lillian, his wife of sixty-six years. The author has 2 children, Bard and Leona, and 2 grandchildren, Robert and Stephanie. |

 | Linguistic Analysis of Biblical Hebrew - Sue , Groom 10 Digit ISBN: 1842271644 13 Digit ISBN: 9781842271643 | | Many linguistic tools and methods are applied to biblical texts in order to gain meaning from them. Such applications do not always take into account the perspective of the investigators, the presuppositions of the method used and the nature of the material to which it is applied. These are all factors that influence the meaning obtained from the text. Sue Groom takes us through the pitfalls and limitations of the various methods available and considers textual transmission, diachronic and dialectical variation and the impact these have on the relationship between reader, author and text. Combining a critical account of long established approaches to Hebrew meanings with a lucid introduction to newer and more recent methods such as lexical semantics and text linguistics, this illuminating read will be of interest to those who have previously studied Hebrew as well as those who know no Hebrew or would like to start somewhere. |
 | Linguistic and Cultural Influences on Learning Mathematics - Cocking, 10 Digit ISBN: 0898598761 13 Digit ISBN: 9780898598766 | | The combined impact of linguistic, cultural, educational and cognitive factors on mathematics learning is considered in this unique book. By uniting the diverse research models and perspectives of these fields, the contributors describe how language and cognitive factors can influence mathematical learning, thinking and problem solving. The authors contend that cognitive skills are heavily dependent upon linguistic skills and both are critical to the representational knowledge intimately linked to school achievement in mathematics. br |
 | Linguistic Anthropology of Education - Stanton , Wortham 10 Digit ISBN: 0897898230 13 Digit ISBN: 9780897898232 | | Over the years, linguistic anthropological research has shown how classrooms are socializing institutions and how language functions as one medium through which this socialization is accomplished. Early work in the field has captured the immediacy of social practice and language use in educational contexts, and has created useful characterizations of variations in communicative competence. The present work builds on the strengths of prior work, showing how new theoretical concepts and empirical methods developed in linguistic anthropology over the last decade can further illuminate educational settings. The authors introduce an updated Linguistic Anthropology of Education which recognizes that, in the rapidly changing field of cultural production within which children and teachers operate today, the exploration of multiple, pre-existing forms of communicative competence is not enough. This volume elaborates theory and illustrates the tools and practices of the Linguistic Anthropology of Education to account for today's research context in which the multiplicity of identity, and the multiple ways language can be used to represent it, have important ramifications for how learning and social reproduction emerge within educational contexts. |
 | Linguistic Archaeology: An Introduction - EDO, Nyland 10 Digit ISBN: 1552126684 13 Digit ISBN: 9781552126684 | | This book is about the invention of ancient names and words. Virtually everyone's name hides an agglutinated shorthand sentence which can in most cases be recovered, as is explained with hundreds of examples. The technique of decoding and translating many Ogam inscriptions found in Ireland and Scotland is explained. Invented languages are discussed in detail and their relationship with the universal language of the Neolithics is shown. |
 | Linguistic Areas - Yaron , Matras 10 Digit ISBN: 1403996571 13 Digit ISBN: 9781403996572 | | The contributors to this collection address issues of definition and theory of linguistic areas, analyze the process of convergence, and introduce methods to assess the impact of language contact across geographical zones. New cases studies are introduced which extend the corpus of areas described so far. They are accompanied by discussions that revisit some of the more well-established linguistic areas. |
 | Linguistic Battles in Trademark Disputes - Roger W. , Shuy 10 Digit ISBN: 0333997581 13 Digit ISBN: 9780333997581 | | Battles over knowledge, authority, and power are often fought when two different fields address the same issues. This book takes an important step towards showing how quite different fields, law and linguistics, can work together effectively in trademark cases. After presenting the basics of each field, readers are shown how linguistics was used in ten trademark lawsuits, five of which had opposing linguists on each side. Finally, helpful suggestions are given to both linguists and lawyers. |
 | Linguistic Conflict and Language Laws: Understanding the Quebec Question - Alice , Bloch 10 Digit ISBN: 0333968999 13 Digit ISBN: 9780333968994 | | In a multilingual society, the role of each language is parallel to the importance of the community that speaks it; change in power relations between groups is linked to modifications in the status of their language. The Quebec language laws provide a case in point of the relation between social change and language planning. This comprehensive analysis of the Quebec language issue exposes the material and symbolic causes of these legislative measures and assesses their effects. This detailed appraisal also provides answers to more general questions of the nature of language laws and the conditions for their legitimacy. |
 | Linguistic Culture and Language Policy - Harold F., Schiffman 10 Digit ISBN: 0415128757 13 Digit ISBN: 9780415128759 | | b /b b i Linguistic Culture and Language Policy /i /b examines how language policy in three very different nations evolved and how it is not merely the specific embodiment of rule, but rather primarily a social construct that rests on other conceptual elements such as belief systems, attitudes and myths. By scrutinizing the multilingual democracies of India, France and the US, Schiffman examines how language policies are formed within a broader framework and are heavily influenced by the covert and implicit grass-roots of its linguistic culture. By seeing language policy as culture-specific, we understand why language policies evolve, why they work--or not--and how people's lives are affected by them. |

 | Linguistic Dating of Biblical Texts: An Introduction to Approaches and Problems - Young, Ian 10 Digit ISBN: 1845530810 13 Digit ISBN: 9781845530815 | | Since the beginning of critical scholarship, Biblical texts have been dated using linguistic evidence and, in recent years, this has become a controversial topic. However, until now there has been no introduction to the field aimed at students with only a reasonable grounding in Biblical Hebrew. Linguistic Dating of Biblical Texts introduces the question of linguistic dating by giving students hands-on experience with both Biblical and non-Biblical texts. What is it that makes 'Archaic Biblical Hebrew' texts archaic? What sources exist for second millennium BCE northwest Semitic? What are the similarities and differences between Hebrew inscriptions and the language of the Biblical texts? What is late about 'Late Biblical Hebrew'? In what ways are the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Mishnah relevant to the discussion? Students are shown significant linguistic features of the texts by means of notes on the passages presented for study. This book details both the consensus views on linguistic dating as well as the views of those who challenge the consensus. The arguments of both sides of the debate are presented so that students are able to understand the potential significance of the linguistic forms they study in Biblical Hebrew texts. |
 | Linguistic Ecology: Language Change and Linguistic Imperialism in the Pacific Rim - Peter , Muhlhausler 10 Digit ISBN: 0415056357 13 Digit ISBN: 9780415056359 | | In "Linguistic Ecology," Peter Muhlhausler examines the transformation of the Pacific language region under the impact of colonialization, Westernization and modernization. By focusing on the linguistic and sociohistorical changes of the past 200 years, he brings a new dimension to the study of Pacific linguistics, which up until now has been dominated by questions of historical reconstruction and language typology. Muhlhausler focuses on the cultural and historical forces which drive language change, looking at how language ecologies have functioned in the past to sustain language diversity and discussing what happens when these ecologies are disrupted. |
 | Linguistic Genocide in Education--Or Worldwide Diversity and Human Rights? - Tove , Skutnabb-Kangas 10 Digit ISBN: 0805834680 13 Digit ISBN: 9780805834680 | | In this powerful, multidisciplinary book, Tove Skutnabb-Kangas shows how most indigenous and minority education contributes to linguistic genocide according to United Nations definitions. Theory is combined with a wealth of factual encyclopedic information and with many examples and vignettes. The examples come from all parts of the world and try to avoid Eurocentrism. Oriented toward theory and practice, facts and evaluations, and reflection and action, the book prompts readers to find information about the world and their local contexts, to reflect and to act.

 | Linguistic Meaning, Truth Conditions and Relevance: The Case of Concessives - Corinne , Iten 10 Digit ISBN: 0333995732 13 Digit ISBN: 9780333995730 | | Many linguists and philosophers of language explain linguistic meaning in terms of truth conditions. This book focuses on the meanings of expressions that escape such truth-conditional treatment, in particular the concessives: "but," "even if," and "although," Corinne Iten proposes semantic analyses of these expressions based on the cognitive framework of relevance theory. A thoroughly cognitive approach to linguistic meaning is presented in which linguistic forms are seen as mapping onto mental entities, rather than individuals and properties in the real world. Researchers and advanced students in pragmatics will find this account lucid, clear and accessible. |
 | Linguistic Perspectives on Language and Education - Anita K. , Barry 10 Digit ISBN: 0897897587 13 Digit ISBN: 9780897897587 | | Language issues are intrinsically part of every classroom setting. Therefore, there is a need to present the linguistic perspective to all teachers and teachers-in-training. This perspective assumes that a complex system is learned by children at an early age with little conscious instruction. It recognizes that languages change over time and that variation, based on region, ethnic identity, gender, social class, and social context, is inherent to language. Focusing more on the practical than the theoretical, Barry aims to engage teachers and education students in discussion of the relevance of linguistics to teaching and to encourage them to bring their own expertise to the discussion. Based on the research of scholars in linguistics and related disciplines, Barry's volume helps teachers synthesize some of the foundations of classic linguistic study with important, current findings. She starts by acquainting the reader with fundamentals of linguistics, then she moves on to discussions of teaching grammar and the history of English orthography. An entire chapter is devoted to the process of child language acquisition and another to the obstacles that some people face when attempting to learn a language. The work concludes with pieces on language policies and language literacy. Group exercises and suggested projects are included to facilitate the exchange between linguistics and education. The book is a must for those interested in the fundamental role of language in education. |
 | Linguistic Semantics - William, Frawley 10 Digit ISBN: 0805810749 13 Digit ISBN: 9780805810745 | | This volume is a comprehensive, up-to-date, and readable introduction to linguistic meaning. While partial to conceptual and typological approaches, the book also presents results from formal approaches. Throughout, the focus is on grammatical meaning -- the way languages delineate universal semantic space and encode it in grammatical form. br br Subjects covered by the author include: the domain of linguistic semantics and the basic tools, assumptions, and issues of semantic analysis; semantic properties of entities, events, and thematic roles; language and space; tense, aspect, and the internal structure and temporal ordering of events; modality, negation, and the epistemology of the speaker; and modification and attribution. In contrast to most current treatments of semantics, this book is accessible to the beginning student of semantics and linguistics and also useful to the advanced practitioner. A textbook and reference work in a single volume, it can be used in a number of disciplines: psychology, computer science, and anthropology as well as linguistics. br |
