Book excerpt: There's a certain wry lyricism, a ticklish hitch in our collective giddy-up, that is unique to America. One that haunts us and taunts us in highway glimpses: See there: in that fog-faded silhouette of a slouching, blackberry-veined barn. Or there: in that monochrome snap of a wizened, old rustic, hunched over her hoe and dwarfed by long, weedy rows...of cabbages. It's a chimeric lyricism. A mercurous mirage. A green flash. Enters a cowboy poet.Flicking an oft-licked pencil nubbin upon a tore-off soup can label, he daubs a wobbly loop on a skittish and unbroken language. Walking easy or running scared, the pot-bellied poet wrangles words and rides herd on those raw, flittering ghosts all a-gibber, nickering back there in the thorny confines.A-yuh, like that. Just about like that.We know it, when we catch a glimpse. It tugs, it tickles and taunts. And then, we miss it. You ain't gonna wanna miss a glimpse of this, friend...Git-a-long, li'l doggerel, git-a-long.

Download or read book Dictionary of the British English Spelling System written by Greg Brooks and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Download or read book A Topsy Turvy World written by Wilt L. Idema and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playwriting in many forms flourished during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Shorter theatrical genres in particular offered playwrights opportunities for experimentation with both dramatic form and social critique. Despite their originality and wit, these short plays have been overshadowed by the lengthy masterpieces of the southern drama tradition. A Topsy-Turvy World presents English translations of shorter sixteenth-to-eighteenth-century plays, spotlighting a lesser-known side of Chinese drama. Satirical and often earthy, these mostly one-act plays depict deceit, dissembling, reversed gender roles, and sudden upending of fortunes. With zest and humor, they portray henpecked husbands, supercilious and lustful monks, all-too-human sage kings, disgruntled officials, and overreaching young scholars. These plays provide a glimpse of Chinese daily life and mores even as they question or subvert the boundaries of social, moral, and political order. Each translation is preceded by a short introduction that describes the play’s author, context, formal qualities, and textual history. A Topsy-Turvy World offers a new view of a significant period in the development of the Chinese theatrical tradition and provides insight into the role of drama as cultural critique.
