Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dhivehi, the language of the Maldives, has received little attention in the linguistic literature, and no other comprehensive grammar of the standard language has yet been published. This work describes the phonology, unique orthography, morphology, and syntax of standard Dhivehi. Plentiful examples with native orthography, Roman transliteration, and morpheme-by-morpheme glossing illustrate the various features of the language. This grammar will be of use both to linguists and to students of Dhivehi.

Book excerpt: Das vorliegende Buch besteht aus einer detaillierten deskriptiven und historisch-vergleichen-den Grammatik, die die erste systematische Beschreibung der bislang nur marginal behandelten Schriftsprache und ihrer vollig unbearbeiteten, unverschrifteten Dialekte darstellt. Sie wird erganzt durch einen Materialband (Band II), der das in der Arbeit ausgewertete Textmaterial enthalt (mundlich uberlieferte Folkloretexte; Kurzgeschichten und Marchen; Inschriften und Manuscripte des alteren Dhivehi im Uberblick). Die Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die bedeutendsten Unterschiede zwischen den maledivischen Dialekten die Morphologie betreffen, wobei sich die drei sudlichsten Dialekte als wesentlich archaischer und formenreicher erweisen als die Standardsprache von Male. Der konsequente Vergleich des Dhivehi mit dem Singhalesischen und mittelindischen Idiomen fuhrt zur Erkenntnis, dass die Trennung der Vorfahren der heutigen Malediver und Singhalesen sowie die erste Besiedlung der Malediven durch Indoarier um Jahrhunderte weit fruher stattgefunden haben muss, als dies von Wilhelm Geiger 1902 postuliert wurde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at providing law students, legal practitioners and other researchers with an introduction to the Maldivian legal system. The book is divided into ten chapters incorporating all aspects of the Maldivian legal system. Chapter 1 makes a thorough investigation of the ancient legal system of the Maldive Islands. This chapter also briefly looks at the ancient political system of the country with a view to understand the background in which the legal system operated and developed over the course of history. As this has not been the subject of any previous study, this chapter will not only benefit law students and legal researchers, but also be of use to those who are interested in studying the ancient kingdom of the Maldive Islands. Chapter 2 follows the development of the Maldivian legal system during the 20th century. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the factors that triggered the legal system’s transformation from an ancient simplicity to a modern complexity. Chapter 3 explains the sources of Maldivian law from which laws are derived an applied by the courts. Chapter 4 examines the court system. In this chapter, various courts and their powers are examined in detail. Chapter 5, 6 and 7 focuses on the actual people who drive the legal system - the judges, prosecutors and the legal profession. As such, these chapters analyze the constitutional role of the judges, judicial service, legal and prosecutorial service of the state and the legal profession. Chapter 8 traces the development and present status of legal education in the Maldives. Chapter 9 and 10 provides an outline of the criminal and civil procedure followed by the courts to administer justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nationally-acclaimed book shows how popular movements used nonviolent action to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders and secure human rights in country after country, over the past century. Peter Ackerman and Jack DuVall depict how nonviolent sanctions--such as protests, strikes and boycotts--separate brutal regimes from their means of control. They tell inside stories--how Danes outmaneuvered the Nazis, Solidarity defeated Polish communism, and mass action removed a Chilean dictator--and also how nonviolent power is changing the world today, from Burma to Serbia.
