Double Dealing Student`s Book: Advanced Business English Course
An Introduction to the Science of Phonetics
The book is designed as an introduction to the scientific study of speech. No prior knowledge of phonetics is assumed. As far as mathematical knowlege is concerned, all that is assumed is a knowledge of simple arithmetic and as far as possible concepts are dealt with on an intuitive rather than mathematical level. The anatomical material is all fully explained and illustrated. The book is arranged in four parts. Part 1, Basic Principles, provides an introduction to established phonetic theory and to the principles of phonetic analysis and description, including phonetic transcription. Part 2, Acoustic Phonetics, considers the physical nature of speech sounds as they pass through the air between speaker and hearer. It includes sections on temporal measurement, fundamental frequency, spectra and spectrograms. Part 3, Auditory Phonetics, covers the anatomy of the ear and the perception of loudness, pitch and quality. The final part, Part 4, covers the articulatory production of speech, and shows how experimental techniques and tools can enhance our understanding of the complexities of speech production. Though the audience for this book is mainly students and professors in the Speech Sciences, it will also be valuable to any students studying hearing science and acoustics. The book is well supported with figures, tables, and practice boxes with experiments.

Grammar Bible: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Grammar but Didn't Kno
A comprehensive, practical reference guide to the idiosyncrasies of the English language No one knows grammar like Michael Strumpf. For over a quarter of a century, as creator and proprietor of the National Grammar Hot Line, he helped thousands of callers from every corner of the globe tackle the thorniest issues of English grammar. Now, in The Grammar Bible, he has created an eminently useful guide to better speaking and writing. Unlike other grammar manuals, The Grammar Bible is driven by the actual questions Professor Strumpf encountered during his years of teaching and fielding phone calls from anxious writers, conscientious students, and perplexed editors, including such perennial quandaries aso Where do I put this comma?o What case should this pronoun be in?o How do I form the possessive of Dickens? Professor Strumpf explains these and other language issues with wit and wisdom, showing how to speak more clearly and write more impressively by avoiding common errors and following the principles of good grammar. Whether you need a comprehensive review of the subjunctive mood or simply want to know which form of a verb to use, The Grammar Bible is a practical guide that will enlighten, educate, and entertain.

Egyptian Hieroglyphic Grammar
Written and spoken for about 4,000 years, Egyptian is no longer a living language (Arabic is the major language of modern Egypt); however, ancient Egyptian is still studied by Egyptologists, historians, archaeologists, and students interested in the age-old civilization along the Nile.Typically, students of ancient Egyptian begin with Middle, or Classical, Egyptian, which was written in hieroglyphic script. Middle Egyptian is especially important because it is the language in which many important literary works were written. Moreover, when it was no longer spoken, Middle Egyptian continued to be taught in temples and schools as a vehicle of literary and liturgical expression.This compact handbook, by a noted German Egyptologist, was specially designed for beginning students who wish to acquire enough basic knowledge to enable them to read the easier hieroglyphic texts. Toward that end, the author begins with a general discussion of Middle Egyptian and its script, followed by concise, accessible lessons in phonology, formation and usage of nouns and other parts of speech, and syntax. With careful study, the student should be able, even after the first lesson, to translate simple sentences independently. A list of hieroglyphs, a vocabulary section, and reading exercises complete this handy manual that offers students quick and easy access to the language and culture of ancient Egypt.

Lexikon Der Indogermanischen Verben
Das "LIV" versteht sich zunachst einmal als Zwischenbilanz. Es listet die verbalen Wurzeln auf, die nach bewahrtem Verfahren fur das Urindogermanische rekonstruiert werden konnen, und versucht, deren Bedeutung zu bestimmen (wo notig, unter Heranziehung nominaler Ableitungen). Es fuhrt dann zu jeder dieser Wurzeln die fur das Urindogermanische rekonstruierbaren verbalen Primarstamme auf; das traditionelle Modell von Prasens, - Aorist- und Perfektstamm ist dabei um die Kategorien Kausativ - Iterativ, Desiderativ, Intensivum, Fientiv und Essiv erweitert. Schliesslich korreliert es die Rekonstrukte mit den primaren Verben und Verbalstammen, die ihnen in den einzelnen indogermanischen Sprachen etymologisch entsprechen und auf denen naturlich die Rekonstruktion aufbaut. Ein rucklaufiger Index der urindogermanischen Verbalwurzeln - ein Novum! - fur jede verbale Primarstammbildung des Urindogermanischen, ein Index der Wurzeln, fur die diese Bildung rekonstruierbar ist, und ein Register der im Text aufgefuhrten einzelsprachlichen Verben und Formen schliessen das Material auf. Ein reicher Anmerkungsapparat informiert uber Detailprobleme, auch philologischer Art, und uber die einschlagige Sekundarliteratur. Da auf Semantik und Morphologie des Verbums konzentriert, ist das "LIV" kein etymologisches Worterbuch; die nominale Derivation ist grundsatzlich nicht einbezogen. Erstmalig ist in einem Werk dieser Breite und Materialfulle konsequent die Laryngaltheorie berucksichtigt, und zwar in der von M. Mayrhofer in der "Indogermanischen Grammatik" (Bd. I/2) vorgelegten Form. Das "LIV" kann aber auch als Basis fur weitere Forschung dienen. Die Anordnung des Stoffes ermoglicht es, Verbbedeutungen und Primarstammbildungen in den indogermanischen Sprachen historisch zu beurteilen, d.h. einerseits Bewahrung von Altem, andererseits semantische Veranderungen und morphologische Um- oder Neubildungen festzustellen; einiges dazu ist in den Anmerkungen zu den einzelnen Lemmata des Buches schon angedeutet. Der morphologische Index stellt das - jederzeit korrigierbare - Material fur Untersuchungen zu Geschichte und Vorgeschichte der verbalen Primarstammbildungen des Indogermanischen zur Verfugung, etwa zum Problem eines Aktionsartsystems im Vorurindogermanischen. Die Lemmata laden zu einer praziseren oder korrekteren Bestimmung von Wurzelbedeutungen ein oder auch zu Wortfelduntersuchungen, die Aufschluss daruber geben konnen, wie die Sprecher der altesten uns erreichbaren Phase unserer indogermanischen Sprachen bestimmte materielle, aktionale oder geistige Bereiche ihres Lebens in einem Netz konkreter Sachverhalte gesehen haben.
More Than You Know
In a small town called Dundee on the coast of Maine, an old woman named Hannah Gray begins her story: "Somebody said 'true love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.' I've seen both and I don't know how to tell you which is worse." Hannah has decided, finally, to leave a record of the passionate and anguished long-ago summer in Dundee when she met Conary Crocker, the town bad boy and love of her life. This spare, piercing, and unforgettable novel bridges two centuries and two intense love stories as Hannah and Conary's fate is interwoven with the tale of a marriage that took place in Dundee a hundred years earlier.
English in Today’s Research World
The authors of Academic Writing for Graduate Students have written a book for the next level of second language writing. English in Today's Research World offers students a very high level of writing instruction, with a specific focus on the projects students undertake--such as dissertations and conference abstracts--at the end of their university work or as they begin careers in research or academia.In addition to instruction on writing for publication, English in Today's Research World provides needed advice on applications, recommendations, and requests--types of communications that are particularly vulnerable to influences from national cultural expectations and conventions and that, therefore, place the NNS writer at increased disadvantage.The text is both a reference manual and a course book, so that researchers can continue to use the book after they have completed their formal education. New ESL/EFL teachers can use English in Today's Research World as a reference book for themselves or as a teaching aid in the classroom.
