Book Description
Janet, a.k.a. Fury, trained in sniping and explosives, recruited directly from college to teach execution tactics at the FBI, and sent out when the need for her skills outweighed the need to have her in the classroom. When one of their missions crossed an intersection the Rangers were launching from, she caught her first glimpse of David, a.k.a. Cyclone, and demanded permission to have his team tag along to hedge the outcome. The day she received an invitational summons to join the Alpha Angels Unit her life took a turn for the better. She chose the Rangers to protect and plan for, finally having a way to connect with her David. They quickly grew past the need to communicate for mission planning, and she smiled every time he connected to her with a TX pulse for whatever non saving the word excuse he came up with that day. Fast forward ten years; the Alpha Angels were trying to come up with a way to transition to civilian life. Realizing they would need important and real things to do, during their first night of collectively retired, they were sanctioned as the Alpha Sorority: Angels chapter, or ASAs, their first mission the unfinished family business and whatever else was needed to cleanup for Janet's hometown of Anywhere. As they assessed their civilian skills, they agreed they collectively possessed what was needed for a desserts shop. Janet and her Angels opened Angel Delights while reconstructing an apartment complex, creating safe spaces for the neighborhood kids where there previously had been none, and they started a book club to make the nights slightly less endless. Between days at the shop, evenings with her family in a last-ditch effort to help them become one, and taking out the trash at night, ASA Angel Janet and her girls are trying to start this next phase with the brightest of expectations while privately she tried to overcome the missing of a man she never touched. The moving on had proved harder than any of them had expected despite knowing it was the right call, and so spent her days hoping he'd found his version of happiness with whatever woman would lucky enough to have won him and her nights praying he hadn't so she wasn't so very alone in her lonely. But just what does an Angel to do when the Fates have plans that don't match their expectations, when on a morning soon after opening her shop she and her girls stopped on a dime when their Ranger walked into Delights and asked for his Angel...

Competing Discourses
Author: David Lee
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315505312
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics, drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories, the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language, gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study, David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history, linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform, homogenous systems. However, there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations, interviews, newspaper reports, official memoranda, television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between "competing discourses", stemming from different social positions and perspectives, are illustrated.

Socioeconomic Pragmatic Variation
Author: Larssyn Staley
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027263922
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
On a regular basis people encounter unfamiliar uses of pragmatic features, such as offers or requests with differing levels of directness or terms of address showing differing amounts of solidarity or deference. Variational pragmatics is the study of such uses, according to region, gender, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, among national and sub-national varieties of pluricentric languages. Despite the wide focus just outlined, this volume provides the first study of pragmatic variation across different social classes, using naturally occurring, interactional data. The discourse analyzed here was collected in over twenty restaurant service encounters spanning three price points. The aim of this study is two-fold: to provide a potential framework for how pragmatic variables and their context can be defined, using the concept of a communicative activity, and to investigate socioeconomic variation in pragmatics by taking offers, thanks responses and address forms as examples. This study contributes, both on a methodological and empirical level, to the growing body of research in variational pragmatics, as well as speech acts, terms of address, relational work and sociolinguistics.
