Pages : 314
Book Description
Maggie's story began at an early age in the mid-1950s to 1960s. She grew up in a hostile environment, where instead of being protected by her parents, she needed protection from them! Physical and mental abuse were almost a daily occurrence. Tormented constantly by her sister, Mary, her brother, Mike, was the only light in her life. Things did not improve as Maggie reached her teenage years; if anything, they worsened! Lack of love from her parents sent Maggie in pursuit of affection elsewhere. With no parental support or guidance, Maggie experienced her first sexual encounter at the tender age of fourteen. Depression and anxiety haunted Maggie. Marrying at an early age only served to worsen her mental state. After the birth of her daughter, Charlene, Maggie soon realized that even a new baby was not going to hold her marriage together. Maggie was seduced by a much older man, who convinced her to leave her husband, Tony, and move in with him. For the first time in her life, Maggie felt truly loved and protected, only to discover after a few short weeks of living with Hal that he had lied to her about his own marital state. Desperate to protect Charlene, Maggie had no choice but to move back to the house, which Tony had listed for sale. Once it was sold, they would go their separate ways. One day, Maggie hoped to find peace in her life.

Requesting Responsibility
Author: Jörg Zinken
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190210737
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This book examines requests for action in everyday contexts by analyzing natural video-recorded data of everyday interaction in British English and Polish families. Requests for carrying out little jobs-passing some object or fetching items from the next room -are pervasively relevant in contexts such as preparing and consuming food, caring for and playing with children. Requests therefore provide a useful window onto general qualities of human sociality as well as on aspects of cultural diversity. Jörg Zinken describes features of interactional context that people across cultures might be sensitive to in designing a request. In particular, the other person's locally observable commitment to a shared task emerges as a quality of context that systematically enters into the way a speaker builds a request. He then analyses the relationship between diversity across the grammatical resources of languages, and diversity in the action affordances provided by these structures. Focusing on grammatical structures that exist in Polish but not in English (impersonal deontic statements, a certain type of double imperative, and a grammaticalized distinction between perfective and imperfective verbal aspect), the analyses show that language-specific turn formats can index and project social orientations within the on-going interaction in culture-specific ways. By examining social actions at a fine level of grain, the book points a way toward an understanding of cultural diversity that avoids the pitfalls of cultural relativism.
