Mag?na Hausa, Native Literature In The Hausa Language. To Which Is Added A Tr. By J.f. Sch繹n
Foundations of English Expression
In a world where language connects us across generations, borders, and ideas, the English language holds a singular place of influence, beauty, and contradiction. Foundations of English Expression is not merely a grammar manual or a linguistic history-it is a deep and human journey into the very core of how English lives, breathes, and evolves. A Journey into the Soul of EnglishEnglish is often described as a global language, but what does that truly mean? Beneath the surface of international business jargon, Shakespearean elegance, and classroom drills lies a system built on centuries of adaptation. The book begins by grounding readers in the Saxon roots of English-a language of clarity, brevity, and directness. These roots are not just historical trivia; they remain the lifeblood of modern English, shaping how we speak, write, and think.From there, Foundations of English Expression walks through the remarkable journey of English through invasions, religious transformations, printing revolutions, and digital frontiers. Thomas Elridge draws attention to the interplay of simplicity and sophistication, showing how English borrows from Latin, French, Norse, and Greek, and how these layers create registers, from casual to courtly, from modern slang to academic discourse.Clarity Through ComplexityOne of the book's core strengths lies in how it balances depth with accessibility. Elridge has a gift for turning complex concepts into intuitive understandings. Whether discussing the rise of phrasal verbs ("give in," "run out," "put off") or the shift from free word order to strict Subject-Verb-Object sentence structures, the explanations are always rooted in real examples. Every concept is placed in context: historical, linguistic, and cultural.Rather than treat grammar as a set of rigid rules to be memorized, the author reveals it as a living pattern of choices-shaped by analogy, usage, and even occasional error. A rule, in Elridge's hands, becomes a habit grown out of function and need. Readers are invited not to obey blindly, but to understand, challenge, and ultimately appreciate the wisdom (and the oddities) behind English structure.For Learners, Teachers, and Lovers of LanguageThis book is not written for academics alone. It is crafted for the curious learner, the dedicated teacher, and the everyday speaker who has ever asked, "Why do we say it that way?" Teachers will find in these pages a treasure trove of examples, anecdotes, and historical nuggets to enrich their instruction. Learners will discover clarity, confidence, and insight into both the logic and the inconsistencies of English.Moreover, writers and editors will find in Foundations a guide not just to correctness, but to nuance. It teaches how words carry tone, how sentence structure affects emphasis, and how choosing between "get" and "obtain" is not simply a matter of formality, but of rhythm, intention, and cultural register.

Language in Strange and Familiar Places
Language and place are intimately connected: depending on where we are, what the context is and what our aims are, we will adjust our language accordingly. Yet linguistics defines itself by a framework that determines which kind of language is worth investigating. Within that framework, linguistics constructs both language and place in multiple ways: language as a sequestered thing belongs to the field site or the classroom; language as fluid practice is associated with the street; language as reconstruction belongs to migration corridors. What about the places that tend to fall between the cracks? This volume explores language in strange and familiar places, from Europe to Africa, Amazonia, Australia and the Pacific, in order to shed light on them.

Osage Language and Lifeways
The Osage language is a vital part of Osage identity. The language suffered rapid decline during the twentieth century, but the Osage people are taking significant steps to revitalize its use. To that end, this volume--the first ever introductory Osage grammar textbook--is a much-needed resource for students, teachers, scholars, and anyone wishing to learn how to speak and write Osage. Written collectively by bilingual Osage speakers and linguists, Osage Language and Lifeways offers both clear grammatical instruction and valuable cultural information. As the authors explain in their introduction, the Osage language, a Dhegiha language within the Siouan language family, is highly complex. Drawing on their Native language expertise and classroom experience, the authors clarify elements of Osage grammar that are entirely different from English grammar or other European languages. Each chapter begins with a short dialogue or story written by Osage speakers. These passages present commonly used expressions and provide glimpses into Osage life experiences. The lessons are ordered in such a way that students can quickly learn how to pronounce Osage words, understand and make full sentences, and read and write the Osage alphabet. Where possible, the authors limit the amount of difficult linguistic terminology and include numerous examples to illustrate their points. At the same time, this book is sufficiently descriptive for linguists seeking to study the language on a more technical level. An important contribution to the study of indigenous languages, Osage Language and Lifeways opens a new pathway for Osages to learn and practice the language of their ancestors and ensure its continuity for future generations.
