Book excerpt: But access to this bedroom became difficult, as the stairs, exposed to rain, rotted, and she wascompelled to ascend and descend by an improvised ladder.After a while the ladder collapsed.Then the old lady descended for good and all, and took up her abode on the ground floor-kitchen, and parlour, and dining-room, and bedroom all in one."And terr'ble warm and comfortable it be," said she, when the roof fell in bodily, and coveredthe floor overhead.But when the walls were exposed, rain and frost told on them, and also on the beam endssustaining the floor, and the next stage was that one side of the floor gave way wholly."Tes best as it be," said the old woman; "now the rain runs off more suant."But in falling the floor blocked the fireplace and the doorway. The consequences are-now wecome to the present condition of affairs-that the old lady has had to do without a fire for certainlythree winters, amongst others that bitter one of 1893-4, and her only means of egress and ingress isthrough the window. Of that not one half of the panes are whole; the gaps are stopped with rags.

Download or read book Language Choice in Interracial Marriages The Case of Filipino Malaysian Couples written by Francisco Perlas Dumanig and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language choice has become a common phenomenon in interracial encounters in which speakers are always faced with the challenge of choosing an appropriate language in various domains of communication. In multilingual and multiracial societies, language choice can sometimes be crucial because of its social, political, and economic impact on the speakers. Even in the smallest unit of a society which is the family, language choice plays an important role particularly in interactions between husbands and wives who come from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. It is therefore the objective of this research to examine the language choice in interracial couples' communication. More specifically, this research examines the language choice, accommodation strategies, and code switching patterns in verbal communication of Filipino-Malaysian couples in the home domain. Furthermore, this study explores the occurrence of language choice in relation to ethnicity, first language, and gender. To carry out the study, 60 spouses consisting of Filipino-Malay, Filipino-Malaysian Chinese and Filipino-Malaysian Indian couples were interviewed and given questionnaires which include the socio demographic profile, language choice and accommodation strategies used. Data were collected using the qualitative approach by interviewing and recording the conversations of Filipino-Malaysian couples. To support the qualitative findings, a quantitative approach based on the questionnaire results was also used. The findings of the study reveal that Filipino-Malaysian couples prefer English as their medium of communication at home with some switching to Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Filipino languages. The couples' preference of English is prevalent although none of them considered English as their first language. Their mother tongue becomes the secondary preference which is evident in the use of code switching. The findings further reveal that couples' language choice is influenced by ethnicity, first language and gender. On the other hand, the use of accommodation strategies such as approximation, interpretability, discourse management and interpersonal control accommodation strategies occurs in many interactions. The findings of the study support Giles' and Powesland's (1978) Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) that in interracial couples' communication spouses tend to accommodate each other by using a range of accommodation strategies which include code switching.
Download or read book Dependency Parsing written by Sandra Kübler and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dependency-based methods for syntactic parsing have become increasingly popular in natural language processing in recent years. This book gives a thorough introduction to the methods that are most widely used today. After an introduction to dependency grammar and dependency parsing, followed by a formal characterization of the dependency parsing problem, the book surveys the three major classes of parsing models that are in current use: transition-based, graph-based, and grammar-based models. It continues with a chapter on evaluation and one on the comparison of different methods, and it closes with a few words on current trends and future prospects of dependency parsing. The book presupposes a knowledge of basic concepts in linguistics and computer science, as well as some knowledge of parsing methods for constituency-based representations. Table of Contents: Introduction / Dependency Parsing / Transition-Based Parsing / Graph-Based Parsing / Grammar-Based Parsing / Evaluation / Comparison / Final Thoughts

Book excerpt: Cyanotype: The Blueprint in Contemporary Practice is a two part book on the much admired blue print process. Part One is a comprehensive how-to on the cyanotype process for both beginner and advanced practitioners, with lots of photographs and clear, step-by-step directions and formulas.
