Download or read book Dallas Forever Changed written by Dan Helpingstine and published by Pelican Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A city is redefined by the JFK assassination. As Pres. John F. Kennedy gasped his final breath, the city of Dallas died with him. For decades the city struggled to recover from its image as the City of Hate. Citizens of Dallas were scorned and the city excoriated in the press. Only the passage of time and cultural triumphs such as the Dallas Cowboys and the television show Dallas brought healing and distance. But as the fiftieth anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination drew near, the city of Dallas struggled publicly and privately over proposed commemorations of the event, exacerbated by the lingering questions left unanswered by the Warren Commission’s report. Factions were drawn into conflict over the goals of the public events. Drawing on scores of interviews and primary sources, author Dan Helpingstine paints a full picture of the complex forces that continue to shape Dallas today.

Book excerpt: An uplifting story about role models, football, and tackling fear set in the heart of Friday Night Lights country—from the bestselling author of Heat, Travel Team, and Fantasy League. Clay is a quarterback's dream. When he zips across the field, arms outstretched, waiting for the ball to sail into his hands, there's no denying him the catch. Like most Texans, Clay is never more at home than when playing football. And his coach, a former star player for the Dallas Cowboys, is just like a second father. But as the football season kicks off, Clay begins to notice some odd behavior from his coach--lapses in his memory and strange mood swings. The conclusion is painful, but obvious: Coach Cooper is showing side effects of the many concussions he sustained during his playing days. As Clay's season wears on, it becomes clear that the real victory will be to help his coach walk onto that famous star logo in the middle of Cowboys Field one last time--during a Thanksgiving day ceremony honoring him and his former Super Bowl-winning teammates. In Lone Stars, #1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica demonstrates once again that there is no children's sports novelist today who can match his ability to weave a story of vivid sports action and heartfelt emotion.

Download or read book Rhetorical Questions written by 後藤リサ and published by ひつじ書房. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 本書は、日本語および英語における修辞疑問文の発話解釈の仕組みを、関連性理論の枠組で探究するものである。従来の修辞疑問文研究の中で典型的に扱われてきた反語タイプの発話例のみならず、非反語タイプの発話例や、さらには弱いレベルで修辞性が伝達され情報要請との境界線があいまいな例、皮肉などの話者態度を伴うことで修辞性が暗に示される例等の非典型例も分析対象とし、包括的な修辞性の認知メカニズムを解明する。 【英語による内容紹介】 Traditional accounts of rhetorical questions have focused on polarity reversal: rhetorical questions conveying assertions opposite in polarity to the propositional content. However, non-polarity-reversed and rhetorically ambiguous interrogatives are also common. In this book, Risa Goto seeks a theoretical approach that can explain this pragmatic ambiguity with respect to rhetoricity. The relevance theoretic view of interrogative and ironical utterances assumes no clear-cut borderline between information-seeking and rhetorical use of interrogative utterances. The cognitive model of irony suggests that recognition of ironicalness necessarily leads to a rhetorical reading. Goto combines these two theoretical frameworks into an entirely new cognitive-pragmatic model of interrogatives, discussing the causal interrelation between rhetoricity and ironicalness and showing that ironical aspects in interrogative utterances can lead to rhetorical readings.
