This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensive Spanish language reference explains the logic behind more than 3,000 frequently used verb phrases and combinations that make Spanish speech sound native. Each entry includes a definition of the phrase including its register, synonyms, antonyms, complementary expressions, grammatical patterns, and examples of how the combinations are used in easy and difficult structures. Most entries also point out other factors to be taken into account, such as whether an expression is to be used in isolation, after explaining a cause, or if it shouldn't be used at the beginning of a sentence. The book presents generative patterns for combinations based on conceptual metaphors and grammar structures, details families of expressions as separate charts, and contains an index by complement. Featuring a wide range of varieties of Spanish, this volume includes both peninsular and New World Spanish and draws on both written and spoken corpora. Based on sound research in cognitive linguistics and written entirely in Spanish, this valuable reference will be useful to advanced students of Spanish, teachers of Spanish, translators, and writers.

Download or read book Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed written by Alejandro Pérez-Cortés and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry, granted by the National Poetry Series, is the author’s impressionistic homage to his hometown of Colima, Mexico. “In this remarkable bilingual debut . . . Pérez-Cortés cracks open the name of his hometown, Colima, to generate a vast mythology . . . The side-by-side presentation of the original Spanish and its English translation adds another layer to this engrossing volume.” —Booklist A Poets & Writers Page One Selection Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed is Alejandro Pérez-Cortés’s personal genesis of Colima, Mexico, published here in both English and Spanish. The tree is an element/character in the book that appears and disappears throughout. Some poems are set in an ancient pre-Hispanic Colima; others reflect the reality of a modern-day Colima, sadly stigmatized and eroded by violence perpetrated by the narcos. In his introduction, preeminent Cuban poet José Kozer praises Pérez-Cortés: “Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed comprises a voice that I consider poetic and that should be cared for and listened to with true interest. A voice that encompasses all, one that seeks to integrate, remake, and modify normative language when necessary, and to distort language that allows a better perception of the present and of everything that is historically behind a contemporary poet.” The Paz Prize for Poetry is presented by the National Poetry Series and Miami Book Fair at Miami Dade College and is awarded biennially. Named in the spirit of the late Nobel Prize–winning poet Octavio Paz, it honors a previously unpublished book of poetry written originally in Spanish by an American resident.

Download or read book Consistencia de la Vida con Pensamientos Positivos written by Domingo Jimenez Suarez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hay muchas personas que piensan. ¿Por qué si Dios nos ama, hay tanto sufrimiento en el mundo? A pesar de todas las circunstancia, hemos llegado a pensar de esa manera. Y en cierto modo, es comprensible; después de todo, si usted viera sufrir a un ser querido, ¿verdad que acudiría en su ayuda? No es extrañar, pues, que muchas personas se pregunten por qué Dios no hace nada para impedir que sigan ocurriendo tantas cosas malas; algunas incluso llegan a pensar que no le importamos. Por eso, antes de analizar como acabara con el sufrimiento, es esencial asegurarnos de que el realmente se preocupa por nuestro bienestar. Por otro lado, pensamos en algunas características singulares del ser humano. Dios nos ha concedido sentido del humor, sensibilidad, dones, habilidades y muchas otras facultades que no necesitamos para vivir, pero que enriquecen nuestra existencia. Más importante aún, Dios nos ha dado la capacidad de amar. ¿A quién no le gusta estar en compañía de buenos amigos o sentir el cálido abrazo de alguien a quien queremos? El hecho de que Dios nos haya creado con este sentimiento demuestra que el amor forma parte de su personalidad.

Download or read book The Refracted Muse written by Enrique García Santo-Tomás and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo never set foot on the Iberian Peninsula, yet, as Enrique García Santo-Tomás unfolds in The Refracted Muse, the news of his work with telescopes brought him to surprising prominence—not just among Spaniards working in the developing science of optometry but among creative writers as well. While Spain is often thought to have taken little notice of the Scientific Revolution, García Santo-Tomás tells a different story, one that reveals Golden Age Spanish literature to be in close dialogue with the New Science. Drawing on the work of writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Quevedo, he helps us trace the influence of science and discovery on the rapidly developing and highly playful genre of the novel. Indeed, García Santo-Tomás makes a strong case that the rise of the novel cannot be fully understood without taking into account its relationship to the scientific discoveries of the period.
