Download or read book The Utopia written by Christian Jerry Marchioni and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Utopia, where all major decisions are made by the Computer, life is far from idyllic for many. Three ordinary people find their lives intertwined in a society that demands conformity and obedience. Deron Boyd, a man struggling with loss and addiction, has been convicted of a crime he doesn’t remember committing. Even though there’s surveillance footage of him breaking into a Store and stealing drugs, he feels that something isn’t quite right. Everything in the Utopia is free—there is no money—so why didn’t he just wait until the Store opened? Matthew Tucker is a guard who transports criminals to the Utopia’s labour camp, a place where Utopians work for twelve hours a day. He lives in constant fear of failing his duties and being sent back to the Camp himself. So when the leaders of the Utopia ask him, a lowly guard, for a meeting, he doesn’t know what to think. Sakura Saito’s story mirrors that of Deron’s, with loss and addiction affecting every part of her life. When she arrives at the Camp, she becomes a beacon of hope and love in Deron’s darkest days, though soon their relationship is strained with the inevitable hanging over them—Sakura’s release and their unavoidable separation. But a friend thinks he has a plan to keep them together, though it requires them to risk it all.

Download or read book Developmental Modal and Pathological Variation Linguistic and Cognitive Profiles for Speakers of Linguistically Proximal Languages and Varieties written by Kleanthes K. Grohmann and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One significant area of research in the multifaceted field of bilingualism over the past two decades has been the demonstration, validation, and account of the so-called ‘bilingual advantage’. This refers to the hypothesis that bilingual speakers have advanced abilities in executive functions and other domains of human cognition. Such cognitive benefits of bilingualism have an impact on the processing mechanisms active during language acquisition in a way that results in language variation. Within bilingual populations, the notion of language proximity (or linguistic distance) is also of key importance for deriving variation. In addition, sociolinguistic factors can invest the process of language development and its outcome with an additional layer of complexity, such as schooling, language, dominance, competing motivations, or the emergence of mesolectal varieties, which blur the boundaries of grammatical variants. This is particularly relevant for diglossic speech communities—bilectal, bidialectal, or bivarietal speakers. The defined goal of the present Research Topic is to address whether the bilingual advantage extends to such speakers as well. Thus, ‘Linguistic and Cognitive Profiles for Speakers of Linguistically Proximal Languages and Varieties’ become an important matter within ‘Developmental, Modal, and Pathological Variation’.
