Download or read book A Descriptive Grammar of Nepali and an Analyzed Corpus written by Jayaraj Acharya and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1991-06 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A college textbook for engineering majors. The authors argue that an understanding of geometry is central and that computers should be invoked only when the principles are understood. There being no systematic descriptive grammar of the language of Nepal, this work fills a gap by providing a description of the sound system, writing system, morphology, and syntax of Nepali. The description is more practical than theoretical and can be the basis of course materials. A short story is thoroughly analyzed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book The Social Dynamics of Pronominal Systems written by Paul Bouissac and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal pronouns have a special status in languages. As indexical tools they are the means by which languages and persons intimately interface with each other within a particular social structure. Pronouns involve more than mere grammatical functions in live communication acts. They variously signal the gender of speakers as parts of utterances or in their anaphoric roles. They also prominently indicate with a range of degrees the kind of social relationships that hold between speakers from intimacy to indifference, from dominance to submission, and from solidarity to hostility. Languages greatly vary in the number of pronouns and other address terms they offer to their users with a distinct range of social values. Children learn their relative position in their family and in their society through the “correct” use of pronouns. When languages come into contact because of population migrations or through the process of translation, pronouns are the most sensitive zone of tension both psychologically and politically. This volume endeavours to probe the comparative pragmatics of pronominal systems as social processes in a representative set from different language families and cultural areas.

Download or read book Language Contact in Nepal written by Bhim Lal Gautam and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines language contact and shift in Nepal, a multilingual context where language attitudes and policies often reflect the complex socio-cultural and socio-political relationship between minority, majority and endangered languages and peoples. Presenting the results of a 15-year study and making use of both quantitative and qualitative data, the author presents evidence relating to speakers' opinions and perceptions of mother tongues including English, Hindi, Nepali, Sherpa, Dotyali, Jumli and Tharu.

Download or read book Developing Alternative Media Traditions in Nepal written by Michael Wilmore and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nepal's democratic revolution of 1990 awakened the suppressed voices of people throughout the Himalayan nation. Nowhere was this seen and heard more loudly than in the field of the dynamic new media that thrived after these momentous political events. Some of the most remarkable examples of these new media are the community television, radio, and newspapers produced in the town of Tansen, where they thrive far from the political hub of the state in the Kathmandu Valley. Developing Alternative Media Traditions in Nepal examines how these innovative media came about and the many obstacles their producers faced when attempting to speak of and to their own community. The book is based on long-term ethnographic research in Nepal in the mid-1990s and subsequent accounts of the continuing development of Tansen's community media organizations. Michael Wilmore offers a unique perspective on how people in developing nations use mass media. Developing Alternative Media Traditions in Nepal is one of the first full-length, detailed accounts in English of new media developments in Nepal and is suitable for advanced students and researchers of anthropology and media studies.

Download or read book Minstrel written by Jim Klobuchar and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minstrel was first published in 1997.When he was the first journalist in the country to call the 1960 presidential race in favor of John F. Kennedy, Jim Klobuchar was a scrappy kid from Minnesota's Iron Range. Minstrel is his memoir, the stunning story of politics, sports, the newsroom, and ordinary people he calls "heroes." Klobuchar sees himself as a minstrel, a journalist-adventurer and teller of stories, a witness to his world. The main requirement in that role, he says, is "good peripheral vision and skill at escape."Minstrel describes Klobuchar's upbringing in the ethnic broth of the Iron Range and his start in daily journalism in Bismarck, North Dakota. He explores the personalities he met in politics, athletics, the outdoors, and across Minnesota-from Dear Abby to Fran Tarkenton to Minnesota Fats. Klobuchar recalls the rough-and-tumble first seasons of the Minnesota Vikings and the quirky political world of former Governor Rudy Perpich. Recounting the details of election nights and locker-room fights, Klobuchar writes in the style that won him a loyal audience in thirty years as a columnist.Klobuchar also writes about the colorful characters inside the newsroom, capturing the everyday flavor of deadlines and deadpan humor. He examines the changing world of journalism and speculates where this will lead in the future. Along the way he holds a mirror to himself, exploring his alcohol dependency and failed marriage. Minstrel is the engaging story of a journalist's life, full of adventure and trials, peaceful reflection and thoughtful analysis. From the summit of the Matterhorn to 1,500 feet underground in an iron mine in Ely, Minnesota, Klobuchar lets the reader experience the excitement first hand.Jim Klobuchar was a daily journalist for forty-three years, thirty as a columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He has published fourteen books, including Tarkenton and Heroes Among Us. excerpt: "I always thought the early Vikings were closer to a wildlife refuge than a professional football team. It was made up of football orphans and derelicts, and a handful of once-esteemed veterans set adrift by their former employers and a half dozen authentic stars of the future-Francis Tarkenton, Tommy Mason, Rip Hawkins, Ed Sharockman and Grady Alderman."
