Download or read book Thai Grammar Poetry and Dictionary in a New Romanised System written by Kittisak Nui Tiyapan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents Thai language in a new, romanised alphabet. This system is developed based on Sanskrit and Pinyin systems. The subject of romanisation of the Thai alphabet is controversial. It used to be banned by a past king of the country not a century ago, and so the topic is taboo in the country. Even the Siam Society has refused to let the author give a lecture or submit a paper to the society's journal about this system.Kit Tiyapan graduated from his first degrees in engineering from Chulalongkorn University and Ramkhamhaeng University. He has a masters degree in Control Systems from UMIST and a Ph.D. from University of Manchester in Chemical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. He had been a lecturer at Asian University and Mahidol University, both in Thailand.

Book excerpt: The origin of modern-day clowns can be traced back to the Dark Ages and an ancient tribe of nomadic entertainers called "the Klaun." An exceptionally jubilant and colorful people, the Klaun had a tradition of dabbing their noses with a spot of red paint-a custom which today's clowns still practice. Indeed, the red nose, along with many other aspects of modern clowning, have their roots in Klaun culture. However, due to a history of severe persecution, the Klaun have closely guarded their secret lineage. This book is meant to serve as a warning. Its pages contain an interview with one of the tribe's modern descendants, Jesper the Klaun, who exposes that his people have been hiding in plain sight for centuries. Jesper reveals the tribe's secret origin story, which explains the Klaun's history, including how the clan eventually divided. Ever since this split, the two sides have been engaged in a clandestine war. Out of urgent concern for the public's safety, Jesper is compelled to tell his clan's secrets and reveal his fear that the clown war is about to spill over into common society. He must expose The Story of the Klaun.

Download or read book Variation and Gradience in Phonetics and Phonology written by Frank Kügler and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of current issues in variation and gradience in phonetics, phonology and sociolinguistics. It contributes to the growing interest in gradience and variation in theoretical phonology by combing research on the factors underlying variability and systematic quantitative results with theoretical phonological considerations. Variation is inherent to language, and one of the aims of phonological theory is to describe and explain the mechanisms underlying variation at every level of phonological representation. Variation below the segment concerns articulatory, acoustic and perceptual cues that contribute to the formation of natural classes of sounds. At the segmental level there are grammatical differences in the production and perception of contextual variation of segments and in the syntagmatic constraints on the combination of segments. At the suprasegmental level the mapping of tones to grammatical functions and vice versa is discussed. Further aspects addressed in this book are factors outside of language: Variation that arises as a result of a particular dialect or of belonging to a certain age group, or variation that is the consequence of language change. Gradience and variation have always been a central issue in phonetic and sociolinguistic research. Gradience introduces variation in phonology as well. If a phonetic entity can be pronounced in different ways, depending on the environment, prosodic factors or dialectal influences, this ‘gradience’ may introduce ‘variation’, which we understand as a stable state of grammar.

Download or read book A Dictionary of European Anglicisms written by Manfred Gorlach and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-06-16 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dictionary of European Anglicisms documents the spread of English in Europe. It provides the first exhaustive and up-to-date account of British and American English words that have been imported into the main languages of Europe. English, which imported thousands of words from French and Latin (mainly after 1066), is now by far the world's biggest lexical exporter, and the trade is growing as English continues to dominate various fields ranging from pop music to electronic communication. Several countries have monitored the inflow of anglicisms and some have tried to block it. But language, as lexicographers have always found and as this book demonstrates once more, respects neither boundary nor law. The dictionary not only shows which words have been exported where, but how the process of importation can change a word's form and function, sometimes subtly, at others remarkably as in the transformation of painkiller to Bulgarian 'jack of all trades'. The book provides a systematic description of the lexical input of English into Icelandic, Norwegian, Dutch, German, Russian, Polish, Croatian, Bulgarian, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Finnish, Hungarian, Albanian, and Greek. Each entry has a brief definition of the loan word, followed by information on its history and distribution; variations in its spelling, meaning, and pronunciation; its route of transmission if not direct from English; its degree of acceptance and usage restrictions; and its native equivalents and derivatives. Grids showing distribution patterns across Europe accompany many of the entries. The Dictionary of European Anglicisms is a scholarly tour de force [French: imported early nineteenth century] and the result of a prodigious research effort across Europe masterminded and directed by Manfred Gorlach. It is a unique resource for comparative analysis and the study of linguistic variation and change. It will fascinate linguists and word-watchers of all persuasions.
