Book Description
NATALIA was not prepared for the unexpected turn her life took. She moved from waiting tables and studying for finals, to shifting metals and manipulating stubborn elevators. It all started when she met Mark, a handsome bachelor, who’d requested that she take his order at Wine Dine, the restaurant she worked at. Mark’s generous tip that evening was questionable, and so was the phone number he left on his receipt. When she ran into him a week later, her best friend saw it as fate, and reluctantly, Natalia agreed to a date. A date, that unbeknownst to her, will bring unexpected joy, heartache, and a shocking discovery. Kidnapped . . . recruited, she’s now living in a world she never dreamed existed and enrolled at an academy, surrounded by others like her—who soon become friends—doing things with their bodies one could only dream about. From fire breathing to sound manipulation, O.E Academy has it all—and it all appears to be utterly wonderful. But she lost control of her life, and the perfect plan she once had was no longer within her reach. She belonged to someone else. To something else. Optimum Enim. Her life was no longer hers to do as she pleased—neither were her new powers—but to an organization, nonexistent to the world. Will she succumb and accept what fate has presented to her? Or will she stand her ground to uncover the hidden secrets within and find a way back to her mourning family? She has yet to find out just who she is and what she has always been. A bewildering discovery, a thread of unanswered questions, but it’s only the beginning. TERM ONE. Join Natalia in her New Beginnings journey!

Expanding the Lexicon
Author: Sabine Arndt-Lappe
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110498162
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.

Rhetoric and Drama
Author: DS Mayfield
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110484668
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Proving fruitful in various applications throughout its two millennia of predominance, the rhetorical téchne appears to have entertained a particularly symbiotic interrelation with drama. With contributions from (among others) a Classicist, historical, linguistic, musicological, operatic, cultural and literary studies perspective, this publication offers interdisciplinary assessments of specific reciprocities between the system of rhetoric and dramatic works: tracing the longue durée of this nexus—highlighting its Ancient foundations, its various Early Modern formations, as well as certain configurations enduring to this day—enables describing shifting degrees of rhetoricity; approaching it from an interdisciplinary viewpoint facilitates focusing on the often sidelined rhetorical phenomena located beyond the textual plane, specifically memoria and actio; tackling this interchange from various viewpoints and with diverse emphases, a long-lasting and highly prolific cross-fertilization between drama and rhetoric is rendered visible. In tendering a balanced panorama of both detailed case studies and descriptive overviews, this volume also points toward terrain yet to be charted in the scholarship to come. The volume was prepared in co-operation with the ERC Advanced Grant Project Early Modern European Drama and the Cultural Net (DramaNet).

Universals of Language Today
Author: Sergio Scalise
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402088256
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This book collects the contributions presented at the international congress held at the University of Bologna in January 2007, where leading scholars of different persuasions and interests offered an up-to-date overview of the current status of the research on linguistic universals. The papers that make up the volume deal with both theoretical and empirical issues, and range over various domains, covering not only morphology and syntax, which were the major focus of Greenberg’s seminal work, but also phonology and semantics, as well as diachrony and second language acquisition. Diverse perspectives illustrate and discuss a huge number of phenomena from a wide variety of languages, not only exploring the way research on universals - tersects with different subareas of linguistics, but also contributing to the ongoing debate between functional and formal approaches to explaining the universals of language. This stimulating reading for scientists, researchers and postgraduate students in linguistics shows how different, but not irreconcilable, modes of explanation can complement each other, both offering fresh insights into the investigation of unity and diversity in languages, and pointing to exciting areas for future research. • A fresh and up-to-date survey of the present state of research on Universals of Language in an international context, with original contributions from leading specialists in the eld. • First-hand accounts of substantive ndings and theoretical observations in diff- ent subareas of linguistics. • Huge number of linguistic phenomena and data from diffferent languages a- lyzed and discussed in detail.
