Gad-pen name of Dr. Ana Stjelja-offers poems that resonate with both personal truth and collective memory.

The collection gracefully blends spiritual musings, socio-political reflections, and meditations on womanhood, identity, and rebirth.From tributes to legendary figures such as Walt Whitman, Salvador Dal穩, Dylan Thomas, Branko Miljkovic, and Scheherazade, to poignant meditations like Shackles, The Gallows, and Clay Jar, this book speaks across borders and centuries. Themes of trauma, freedom, motherhood, and transformation run through the work like a river.Gad's poetic language is rich with symbolism and musicality, drawing inspiration from the cosmos, nature, and cultural memory. Her words challenge, comfort, and inspire, reminding us of poetry's timeless role in bearing witness.

The Curse in the Territory
This study re-evaluates Manuel Mar穩a Madiedo's La maldici籀n (1859) beyond its traditional classification as costumbrista literature. Drawing on narratology, historical geography, and neobaroque aesthetics, the book explores how the novel engages with the cultural, racial, and territorial tensions of 19th-century Colombia. It situates the figure of the arrochelado and the region's libres de todos los colores at the heart of the national narrative, revealing submerged histories and alternative forms of habitation along the Magdalena River. Through narrative ambiguity, irony, and symbolic landscapes, Madiedo's work critiques liberal ideals and enacts a hybrid literary form that challenges hegemonic representations of space and identity. By uncovering these layers, the research contributes to broader discussions of subaltern agency, literary form, and the cultural construction of Colombian territory.

The Usage of Idioms in the Business World
Idioms are figurative expressions that convey meanings different from the literal interpretation of their individual words - such as "shoot yourself in the foot" or "let the cat out of the bag." They are deeply embedded in language and culture, acting as vivid communicative shortcuts that express complex ideas, emotions, or social norms. This workbook studies the origins of idioms, their cultural context, and linguistic application. However, there are thousands of idioms, and they vary from country to country. Therefore, this work was primarily designed to assist business students who use English as a second language (ESL) and specifically focuses on those idioms that are used in the business world. Idioms are not slang, and the difference between the two is comprehensively explained.The format of this workbook and reference guide consists of presenting the most common business idioms in alphabetical order, providing a definition for each, and then using the idiom in a sentence to create a contextual illustration.

"Said Without Saying"
"Said Without Saying: Indirect Speech Acts in Indian Fiction" is an insightful exploration into the subtle power of language and meaning in literature, focusing on two profound Indian novels - Fasting, Feasting by Anita Desai and A Matter of Time by Shashi Deshpande. This book delves into the intricate world of indirect speech acts to uncover how what is left unsaid often reveals more than what is explicitly stated. It offers a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue between linguistics, pragmatics, and literary studies.At its core, this work is a study in pragmatics, the branch of linguistics concerned with how context influences the interpretation of meaning. Within this framework, indirect speech acts - utterances where the speaker's intended meaning differs from the literal expression - serve as powerful tools of character development, conflict, irony, and social commentary. When characters say one thing and mean another, they mirror the complexities of real human communication, especially in cultures where restraint, indirectness, and layered discourse are embedded in social interaction.
A Psycholinguistic Perspective on the Impact of Attention Deficit
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which tends to affect academic performance and language development. This study investigates the impact of ADHD on the academic and communicative abilities of early primary school children. It also takes into consideration how teachers recognize and manage such problems in real classroom situations. The study uses a multi-method approach, including unplanned observations of six children at the psychiatry, structured classroom observations of 17 children, semi-structured interviews with four speech therapists, and 35 questionnaire responses from psychologists and psychiatrists. Additionally, 196 primary school teachers completed a questionnaire. The study also includes a comparison of four handwriting samples of children with ADHD and their peers to look for possible psycholinguistic and motor differences. The results show that ADHD significantly affects attention, working memory, and expressive language, which disrupts children's ability to follow instructions, memorize, and communicate efficiently.

Overcoming Anxiety with Powerful Communication Strategies
This book delves into the often-overlooked challenge of communication anxiety faced by engineering students, emphasizing that technical knowledge alone is not sufficient in today's professional world. Communication-especially clear, confident, and persuasive speech-is critical for success. However, anxiety can hinder students from expressing their true potential during interviews, presentations, and team interactions.The book addresses this gap by offering practical, research-based strategies to help students overcome their fear of communication. Grounded in the principles of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), it focuses particularly on English for Science and Technology (EST), analyzing the unique communicative demands placed on engineering students and professionals. The book also discusses the growing need for communication skills in global and Indian industry contexts, where English often serves as the primary working language.Through authentic examples and analysis, the book serves as a guide for educators, trainers, and students alike, providing tools to transform anxiety into effective expression.
Socio-economic, Political, and Cultural Status of Morrison's Women
Toni Morrison's novels offer a nuanced exploration of the complexities of Black womanhood, illuminating the intersections of race, gender, and identity. Morrison challenges societal norms, revealing the multifaceted experiences of her characters and systemic forces that shape female lives. Her work serves as a vital contribution to feminist discourse, urging readers to confront legacies of oppression while envisioning possibilities for empowerment. Despite the significant contributions of her work to feminist literary criticism, there remains a need for further exploration of the intersections of race, gender, and class. As her literature continues to resonate with readers, the exploration of themes remains essential for understanding the ongoing struggles and triumphs of Black women in America and beyond. This book ultimately seeks to contribute to the broader conversation about the complexities of identity, community, and resistance in the face of systemic injustice, positioning Morrison's work as a crucial touchstone for contemporary feminist thought.
Critical Discourse Analysis and Vladimir Propp's Falktale
Vladimir Propp's "Morphology of the Folktale" is a significant contribution to understanding plot structure. Initially used to analyze Russian folktales, it has been applied to fairytales, Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," and Charles Dickens's "Our Mutual Friend." This research aims to fill the gap in studying novels in general and modern fiction by examining Nickola Spark's novels, focusing on his use of Propp's theory.
