Download or read book The Left Periphery written by Anne Sturgeon and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the interaction of syntax, pragmatics, and prosody in left peripheral positions focuses on two left dislocation constructions in Czech, Hanging Topic Left Dislocation and Contrastive Left Dislocation. The structure of the left periphery is delineated through a thorough description and analysis of these constructions with respect to their syntactic behavior, discourse function and prosody. Following recent work on the Syntax-Phonology interface, prosody in these constructions is shown to interact in interesting ways with the narrow syntax. Unexpected patterns of left-edge resumption are explained through the role of the PF component of the grammar.
Download or read book Jenny s Coffee House written by Eugenia Jenny Williams and published by DoctorZed Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1969 seven assisted migrants stepped out of the plane that had touched down in a strange place called Hobart. Jenny Williams, the author of Yenni, was one of those adults. From this time on little of what Jenny and her family knew was of any use to them. Like newborns they had to learn to exist in a different world. From factory to restaurant work, to new relationships, Jenny's Coffee House takes the reader into the rich heart of a hard working family searching for their niche in life. Full of the drama and humour of a life fully lived (love, disappointment, separation and triumph), this is an evocative and compelling book. Much like the author herself, Jenny's Coffee House is inspiring, honest and real. Hobart shimmers and enchants, Europe is never far away, while Jenny welcomes us all like best friends into her world.

Download or read book Precarious Youth in Contemporary Graphic Narratives written by María Porras Sánchez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores comics as examples of moral outrage in the face of a reality in which precariousness has become an inherent part of young lives. Taking a thematic approach, the chapters devote attention to the expression and representation of precarious subjectivities, as well as to the economic and professional precarity that characterizes comics creation and production. An international team of authors, young and senior systematically examines the representation of precarious youth in graphic fiction and autobiographic comics, superheroes and precarity, market issues and spaces of activism and vulnerability. With this structure, the book offers a global perspective and comprehensive coverage of different aspects of a complex and multifaceted field of knowledge, with a special attention to minorities and liminal subjects. The comics analyzed function as examples of "ethical solicitation" that bear witness of the precarious existence younger generations endure, while at the same time creating images that voice their outrage and might move readers to act. This timely and truly interdisciplinary volume will appeal to comics scholars and researchers in the areas of media and cultural studies, modern languages, education, art and design, communication studies, sociology, medical humanities and more.

Download or read book Scarlet Circles and Dreams written by Rod Engel and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A life’s path is not always vanilla. Like a good painting, a life is often veiled in mystery. But unlike a well-executed piece of art, a life is not subjective, regardless of how it is perceived in the eyes of a viewer on the outside, looking in. In Scarlet, Circles, and Dreams, the life experiences of Rod Engel are full of unpredictable twists and turns. His story pieces together the puzzle of his artistic journey, health struggles, and unexpected spiritual quest. The story is a unique and entertaining look into the mind of an artist caught between his passion-turned-obsession and the transcendent purpose of his life. Rod’s pilgrimage is far from mundane. It reveals the shadowy side streets he is taken down as his health is negatively impacted by his craft. It is in these alleyways that the darkness of obsession collides with an intriguing expression of light, a truth that provides the strength and will to fight to see another day, a day that dawns with a renewed conviction for life’s highest priority—love. Sit back and enjoy the ride through the pages as the author journeys his way home.
