Download or read book Computer Interpretation of Metaphoric Phrases written by Sylvia Weber Russell and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computational approach of this book is aimed at simulating the human ability to understand various kinds of phrases with a novel metaphoric component. That is, interpretations of metaphor as literal paraphrases are based on literal meanings of the metaphorically used words. This method distinguishes itself from statistical approaches, which in general do not account for novel usages, and from efforts directed at metaphor constrained to one type of phrase or to a single topic domain. The more interesting and novel metaphors appear to be based on concepts generally represented as nouns, since such concepts can be understood from a variety of perspectives. The core of the process of interpreting nominal concepts is to represent them in such a way that readers or hearers can infer which aspect(s) of the nominal concept is likely to be intended to be applied to its interpretation. These aspects are defined in terms of verbal and adjectival predicates. A section on the representation and processing of part-sentence verbal metaphor will therefore also serve as preparation for the representation of salient aspects of metaphorically used nouns. As the ability to process metaphorically used verbs and nouns facilitates the interpretation of more complex tropes, computational analysis of two other kinds of metaphorically based expressions are outlined: metaphoric compound nouns, such as "idea factory" and, together with the representation of inferences, modified metaphoric idioms, such as "Put the cat back into the bag".

Download or read book Artillery of Words written by Frederick Woods and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1992-04-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his long lifetime, Sir Winston Churchill wrote 50 books and more than 800 feature articles. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. This book, by the author of "Young Winston's Wars" and "Bibliography of the Works of Sir Winston Churchill", combines literary criticism with a consideration of the writings in the context of Churchill's public life. Almost all Churchill's publications, argues Frederick Woods, were weapons written deliberately to win a battle, whether that battle was over the future of India, the fate of the freedom-loving world, the rehabilitation of renowned ancestors, or his own fluctuating reputation. In every case, Churchill strove mightily to win, and often presented his case with less than the objectivity that might be expected of one popularly considered to be a major historian.

Book excerpt: Like many “language buffs,” I recall no time when my world was without words. It was my fortunate lot to follow their beguiling tunes until toys turned into tools, and I became a wordsmith—writer and teacher. The essays in this book are digressions on the light side of that career, a continuing game of word play, a motley cluster of errant shots with my grammar wedge, the twists and turns of things on the tip of my tongue.

Download or read book Roadhunting written by Sean Michael Collins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would anyone want to roadhunt? Some folks might ask. A number of you reading this book already know why you would. A number of those who ask this question with shock and dismay will be landowners who ironically will have posted large chunks of property to keep everyone but themselves, their friends and family out; then sadly shake their head at the state of aff airs wherein roadhunting exists. The fact is that if there were decent access for all roadhunting would not exist to the extent that it does. But often times the people that bitch and complain the most about roadhunting are those that are primarily responsible for it. For some folks roadhunting is nothing more than a means to extend their hunting time while driving to and from their hunting area and/or something to do on days where there is inclement weather. For others, especially those who live where there is little to no public hunting land; roadhunting may be the only practical way to put game in the freezer. Landowners (contrary to what many of them would have you believe) do not own the deer or other game. Wild animals are owned (so to speak, if anyone really can own them) by the public; and you my friend are a member of the public. Many landowners feel that they de facto own wild game because it lives on their property, so if you must temporarily access someone elses private property to get what is yours, then so be it. I would freely admit that roadhunting is hardly the highest form of hunting out there; unfortunately a lot of us have neither the time nor money either to aff ord their own property or travel to top notch hunting locations. There is nothing that says roadhunting and fi eld hunting have to be mutually exclusive; that you have to do either one or the other. The author spends three hundred plus hours a year deer hunting in the fi eld or woods and some years are certainly better than others. Therefore when a gift deer comes along and presents itself by the road, Im not going to feel bad about taking it. I fail to see how anyone can be hurt by knowing how to roadhunt; whether you practice it or not is up to you, but you may fi nd the knowledge helpful some day when times get tough. Also nothing says you cant use what you learn from this book just to help enhance your deer viewing activities. Once you learn roadhunting its like riding a bicycle or shooting a rifl e; you never really forget how. And even if you dont care for the instructional portions of this book, hopefully you will fi nd the stories entertaining. A majority of this book has to do with roadhunting whitetail deer (with a chapter thrown in about small game) in Michigan. However the author would point out that he has spotted whitetail in eight other states and two Canadian Provinces. Also I have at diff erent times spotted mule deer, elk, and antelope. Being who I am, I couldnt help but notice that on numerous of these occasions I honestly believe I could have pulled off a successful roadhunt had I so desired. Although the hands on tactics, so to speak, laid out in this book are based on experiences that happened in Michigan, I fi rmly believe that they can be used almost anywhere. Some of the tactics and information contained in this book are legal in some places and not others; and some are illegal everywhere. Therefore this book should be read for educational and entertainment purposes only. Neither the author nor publisher accepts any responsibility or liability for the use or misuse of information contained in this book. With that said; good luck and good hunting.
Download or read book Meet Me with Your Black Drawers On written by Jeannie Cheatham and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A breezy, light, and utterly charming tale of a musician’s life with all the ups-and-downs and turns-and-twists that are a part of those of us in jazz.” —Marian McPartland, jazz legend and host of the award-winning Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz A pianist, singer, songwriter, and co-leader of the Sweet Baby Blues Band, Jeannie Cheatham has played and sung with many of the greats in blues and jazz—T-Bone Walker, Dinah Washington, Cab Callaway, Joe Williams, Al Hibbler, Odetta, and Jimmy Witherspoon. Cheatham toured with Big Mama Thornton off and on for ten years and was featured with Thornton and Sippie Wallace in the award-winning PBS documentary Three Generations of the Blues. Cheatham’s signature song, “Meet Me with Your Black Drawers On” is a staple in jazz and blues clubs across America and in Europe, Africa, and Japan. In this delightfully frank autobiography, Jeannie Cheatham recalls a life that has been as exuberant, virtuous, wild, and truthful as her music. She begins in Akron, Ohio, where she grew up in a vibrant multiethnic neighborhood surrounded by a family of strong women. From those roots, she launched a musical career that took her from the Midwest to California, doing time along the way everywhere from a jail cell in Dayton, Ohio, where she was innocently caught in a police raid, to the University of Wisconsin-Madison—where she and Jimmy Cheatham taught music. Cheatham writes of a life spent fighting racism and sexism, of rage and resolve, misery and miracles, betrayals and triumphs, of faith almost lost in dark places, but mysteriously regained in a flash of light. Cheatham’s autobiography is also the story of her fifty-years-and-counting love affair and musical collaboration with her husband and band partner, Jimmy Cheatham.

Download or read book In The Garden of All Things Fair written by Alice Miaolian Baskous and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of collected verse was written as two books and then conjoined into one larger volume: harmoniously, I hope, since most of the poems regardless were composed on the common and well-loved subjects of love, beauty, equality, and nature. There is a better place of loveliness is what I'm propounding, attainable through true sentiment, attentiveness, imagination, and empathy for others; and In The Garden of All Things Fair, though a literary endeavor surely, is also an attempt to spread this more subliminal feeling around as one spreads marmalade on toast at breakfast. A student wrote these poems intending to share her profound happiness in the existence of poetry as well as her zest for detail, description, fineness of opinion, and introspection. The language was meant to be thick and substantial, which the author tells the reader, now, with neither chagrin nor presumptuousness, but as a true friend of quality literature as it has been and shall remain through the ages.
