Download or read book Ada Nata written by Nebolisa Ajide and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ada Nata, the novel, is set in a West African village, a place of moonlit nights and games, a place of much laughter, where stories were forever told about past heroes and heroines. Life in the village was never boring or tedious. It was a lot of fun. Along the way, some things began to happen in the village that previously had not. Life in the village was subsequently changed in very profound ways. In fact, life was never again the same. The moons were there, as was the village square, but fear rather than songs took over the nights. The days were no better. Suspicions grew and enveloped the people, their parents, and their children. There were relationships that were broken beyond mending. There were customs observed, challenged, and nullified, and could never be restored. There were clashes between youth and the elders, between tradition and circumstance. Out of these have emerged stories, told and retold until they could be told no more. In the end, the village has remained a unique symbol, despite adversities, to remind us all of what was, who we were, and where we came from. Ada Nata is the retelling of one of many a story. I hope that it is as vivid for you as it was for me, writing it.
Download or read book Ravana s Kingdom written by Justin W. Henry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ravana, the demon-king antagonist from the Ramayana, the ancient Hindu epic poem, has become an unlikely cultural hero among Sinhala Buddhists over the past decade. In Ravana's Kingdom, Justin W. Henry delves into the historical literary reception of the epic in Sri Lanka, charting the adaptions of its themes and characters from the 14th century onwards, as many Sri Lankan Hindus and Buddhists developed a sympathetic impression of Ravana's character, and through the contemporary Ravana revival, which has resulted in the development of an alternative mythological history, depicting Ravana as king of the Sri Lanka's indigenous inhabitants, a formative figure of civilizational antiquity, and the direct ancestor of the Sinhala Buddhist people. Henry offers a careful study of the literary history of the Ramayana in Sri Lanka, employing numerous sources and archives that have until now received little to no scholarly attention, as well as the 21st century revision of a narrative of the Sri Lankan people-a narrative incubated by the general public online, facilitated by social media and by the speed of travel of information in the digital age. Ravana's Kingdom offers a glimpse into a centuries-old, living Ramayana tradition among Hindus and Buddhists in Sri Lanka-a case study of the myth-making process in the digital age.

Download or read book Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics written by T. L. Cleghorn and published by N M Rugg. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics teaches how to recognize, record, and reproduce the sounds of any language. Note: The audio files can be downloaded from this link: bit.ly/1lCb0Ly Phonetics is the study of sounds. Specifically, it is the study of human speech sounds. A person who only speaks one language may not realize that there are hundreds of different consonants and vowels spoken by humans in different parts of the world. This book will introduce the reader to almost every sound spoken by man. Since the English alphabet is inadequate to represent every speech sound known to man, the reader will be taught the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This is a special alphabet containing numerous symbols that represent sounds for all languages. Charts are included in the back of this book that list many of the symbols used in the IPA. Some IPA symbols will look quite familiar, but others are from foreign languages or were invented specially for the IPA. Learning these symbols and their corresponding sounds is the foundation to accurately learning the sound system of a language. The reader should also be aware of the fact that not all linguists follow the IPA conventions. Though this book generally follows the standard IPA, alternative symbols and notations will be explained throughout the text. This book is intended for speakers of American English because many of the sounds are compared to the English language. Speakers of other dialects or languages may need to adjust their pronunciation accordingly. Table of Contents: Lesson 1: Introduction to Sounds Lesson 2: Fricatives and Voicing Lesson 3: Pitch Variations Lesson 4: Stops and Voice Onset Time Lesson 5: Facial Diagrams Lesson 6: Progressive Pitch Control Lesson 7: Aspiration and Glottal Stops Lesson 8: Advanced Intonation Lesson 9: Affricates Lesson 10: Introduction to Vowels Lesson 11: Characteristics of Syllables Lesson 12: Vowel Glides Lesson 13: Fronting, Retroflexion, and Sibilants Lesson 14: Back Vowels Lesson 15: Nasals Lesson 16: Front Vowels Lesson 17: Laterals Lesson 18: Open Vowels and Length Lesson 19: Flaps and Trills Lesson 20: Central Vowels and Approximants Lesson 21: Alveopalatal Stops Lesson 22: Vowel and Glide Clusters Lesson 23: Palatal and Uvular Consonants Lesson 24: Nasalized Vowels Lesson 25: Double Articulations and Prenasalization Lesson 26: Front Rounded and Back Unrounded Vowels Lesson 27: Transition and Release Lesson 28: States of the Glottis Lesson 29: Implosives Lesson 30: Breathy Consonants and Consonant Clusters Lesson 31: Ejectives Lesson 32: Tongue Root Placement Lesson 33: Secondary Articulations Lesson 34: Fortis and Lenis Articulation Lesson 35: Clicks Lesson 36: Speech Styles Appendix
