Eggs for the Ageless

Autor: Kyle A. Massa

Número de Páginas: 416

Religion is a funny thing. Especially when you accidentally create your own. Eccentric young writer Zeggara “Egg” East has done just that, much to the chagrin of her devout mother. Egg’s new religion is called “Penguinism” and it’s proving far more popular than anyone—even the immortal Ageless—could’ve imagined. And the thing about deities is, they don’t appreciate a rival dogma. Now everyone’s choosing sides in the coming conflict, including a tea-slurping tyrant, a guy with 12 gifts, and the God of Waste Management. So when Egg and her mother pick opposing factions, Egg has to wonder…can they reconcile, or will religion keep them apart forever? Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore, and Douglas Adams, Eggs for the Ageless is a comic fantasy novel about family, faith, and waddling—not necessarily in that order.

The Fine-grained Structure of the Lexical Area

Autor: Antonio Fábregas

Número de Páginas: 410

This is the first book that presents a complete description and analysis of the Spanish suffixes that alter the grammatical behaviour of nouns and adjectives without changing their grammatical category, supporting a fine-grained decomposition of the syntactic area where these word classes are defined. In this monograph the reader will find a detailed empirical description of suffixes for gender, mereological properties of nouns, scalar properties of adjectives and a variety of nominal suffixes expressing actions, measures or locations, as well as an integral Neo-Constructionist analysis of the syntactic structure of the resulting formations. Framed within a Nanosyntactic-oriented framework, this book sheds light on the nature of lexical categories and the components of the low syntactic structure of nouns and adjectives. The book will be useful both to researchers in Spanish linguistics or theoretical morphology and to advanced students of Spanish interested in learning more about the expressive devices that nouns and adjectives allow.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of These

My name is Dora Crystal Solis and I have lived in Superior, AZ with family and friends my whole life. I have always been fascinated with science fiction ever since I’ve seen Star Wars and I have always been a fan of Anne McCaffrey’s books and characters. She has been my inspiration for writing science fiction. On the fantasy side mainly reading and hearing the different versions of fairy tales and reading stories of knights, princesses, princes, all the mythical creatures and the like have been my inspiration for that form of writing as well as dreaming about this kind of stuff. This story officially took off when my cousin Brittney (who I co-wrote this with) both decided that we wanted to turn this into a full fledged book which at first turned into a story she wrote for school, and then the characters and the plot changed and blossomed to what is now about five years later. I currently have another book out: Finding My Way to the Lord this is my first Christian Inspirational book, with some more to come. I even have a journal out entitled Question & Answer Journal with some more journals to come, more like it possibly and some dream ones that I’m almost done with. They are ...

Tales of the Ridings

Autor: F. W. Moorman

Número de Páginas: 63

In "Tales of the Ridings," F. W. Moorman presents a rich tapestry of narratives that vividly capture the essence of rural life in northern England during the early 20th century. The prose is marked by Moorman's distinctive lyricism, seamlessly weaving together local folklore, natural landscapes, and the intricacies of everyday life. Employing a blend of realism and romanticism, the stories are set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, showcasing a deep attachment to the land and its cultural heritage. This collection not only reflects the socio-political climate of the time but also explores the human condition through the prism of regional identity and communal ties, making it a significant contribution to the literary canon of English regionalism. F. W. Moorman, a poet and literary critic, draws upon his own upbringing in the Yorkshire region, which undoubtedly informs the intimate yet expansive nature of his storytelling. His educational background in literature and his keen interest in the vernacular of rural communities imbue the tales with authenticity and a sense of place. Moorman'Äôs ability to listen to and preserve the voices of the pastoral community highlights ...

A Grammar of Rapa Nui

Autor: Paulus Kieviet

Número de Páginas: 666

This book is a comprehensive description of the grammar of Rapa Nui, the Polynesian language spoken on Easter Island. After an introductory chapter, the grammar deals with phonology, word classes, the noun phrase, possession, the verb phrase, verbal and nonverbal clauses, mood and negation, and clause combinations. The phonology of Rapa Nui reveals certain issues of typological interest, such as the existence of strict conditions on the phonological shape of words, word-final devoicing, and reduplication patterns motivated by metrical constraints. For Polynesian languages, the distinction between nouns and verbs in the lexicon has often been denied; in this grammar it is argued that this distinction is needed for Rapa Nui. Rapa Nui has sometimes been characterised as an ergative language; this grammar shows that it is unambiguously accusative. Subject and object marking depend on an interplay of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors. Other distinctive features of the language include the existence of a ‘neutral’ aspect marker, a serial verb construction, the emergence of copula verbs, a possessive-relative construction, and a tendency to maximise the use of the nominal...

Konkani

Autor: Ramesh Vaman Dhongde

Número de Páginas: 387

Konkani is a modern Indo-Aryan language and a state language of the Indian state Goa. Until recently, it was considered a dialect of Marathi, but it is now considered an independent language. Konkani has several varieties, including the Manglore variety spoken in the south of Goa, the Gawdi variety spoken by the Gawda ethnic group, and the Goan (Panaji) variety. The latter is the focus of this description, and is the variety used in schools, media and state administration. The book provides a descriptive linguistic analysis of Konkani based on spoken and written data collected by the author during extensive fieldwork. The linguistic features of Konkani phonology, morphology, word-formation and syntax are described in detail, and where significant, compared with the Manglore and Gawdi varieties. Since Konkani is undergoing standardisation, and since it has close contact with Marathi, significant similarities and differences between the two languages are also discussed. Konkani has the honour of being the subject of the oldest European grammatical work on any Indian language: Thomas Stephens’ Arte da Lingoa Canarim published in 1640. This grammar is thus the most recent addition...

The Speed of Change

Autor: Jan Bart Gewald , Sabine Luning , Klaas Van Walraven

Número de Páginas: 311

In the early 1900s the motor-vehicle (car, bus, lorry or motor-cycle) was introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet its impact extends across the totality of human existence; from ecological devastation to economic advancement, from cultural transformation to political change, through to a myriad of other themes. This edited volume of eleven contributions by historians, anthropologists and social and political scientists explores aspects of the social history and anthropology of the motor-vehicle in Africa.

Through the Year with Vinnie

He was ordained a priest in 1964 and served as an associate pastor at St. Jude Parish in Elyria, Ohio, Director of Communications for the Diocese of Cleveland, and pastor of St. Timothy Parish in Garfield Heights, Ohio before coming to St. Vincent in 1994. Vinnie came to St. Vincent Parish in 1998. His previous history is largely unknown, as is his precise pedigree.
