Download or read book Ingressive and Egressive Verbs in English written by Daniele Franceschi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fine-grained analysis of the most common ingressive and egressive verbs in present-day English in terms of the semantic-pragmatic and cognitive factors responsible for their various structural representations. It draws upon the fundamental assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics, according to which grammar is symbolic and conceptually motivated, and focuses in particular on the ability of these predicates to be integrated into constructions as a result of metonymic and metaphoric processes, which impose a well-defined set of constraints. The book supports its analysis and findings with examples both taken from three of the major corpora of English, namely BNC, COCA and GloWbe, and retrieved through ad hoc Internet searches. Although the literature on English aspectual verbs is vast, there are no studies of the language-external factors responsible for their different configurations. As such, this book fills this gap by offering linguists and students of linguistics a detailed investigation of this topic. It will also be of value to scholars with a more general interest in the linguistic evidence of cognitive activity in meaning construction.
Download or read book SAT Vocab Capacity written by Vince Kotchian and published by . This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 Edition published on 2/20/2014. Need a good way to remember that the word "prodigal" means "wasteful"? Just think of PRADA GAL - a girl who spends all of her money on designer clothes. Brian McElroy (Harvard, '02) and Vince Kotchian (Boston College, '97), two of San Diego's most sought after test-prep tutors, provide a series of clever, unconventional, and funny memory devices aimed toward helping you to improve your vocabulary and remember words long-term so that you don't ever forget their meanings. Brian and Vince, combined, have been tutoring the test for over 20 years. They have analyzed all available official SAT tests to select the words that appear in this book. The vocabulary words in this book are best suited for students at a 9th-grade level or above. The words in this edition are specifically targeted toward the SAT exam, but they are also helpful for students who are preparing for other standardized tests such as the GRE, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, GMAT, LSAT or MCAT, or anyone at any age who simply wants to improve his/her knowledge of English vocabulary. Disclaimer: All of the words in this book appear in our other book, GRE Vocab Capacity. Why This Book Is Different If you're studying for the GRE, SAT, or for any other standardized test that measures your vocabulary, you may be feeling a little bit anxious - especially if you've taken a practice test and encountered words you didn't know (or maybe never even saw before)! Whether you have seven days or seven months to prepare for the test, you're going to want to boost your vocabulary. But it's not that simple - you've got to remember the words you learn. And on many SAT sentence completion questions, getting the right answer comes down to knowing the precise definition of the words. You could make vocabulary flashcards. You could look up words you don't know. You could read a book with lots of big words. But unless you give your brain a way to hold on to the words you learn, it will probably have a harder time remembering them when they appear on the test. That's the problem with most vocabulary books: the definitions and sentences in the books aren't especially memorable. That's where this book is different. We've not only clearly defined the words but we've also created sentences designed to help you remember the words through a variety of associations - using mnemonics. Mnemonic Examples A mnemonic is just a memory device. It works by creating a link in your brain to something else, so that recall of one thing helps recall of the other. This can be done in many ways - but the strongest links are through senses, emotions, rhymes, and patterns. Consider this example: Quash (verb): to completely stop from happening. Think: SQUASH. The best way to QUASH an invasion of ants in your kitchen is simple: SQUASH them. Now your brain has a link from the word quash (which it may not have known) to the word squash (which it probably knows). Both words sound and look the same, so it's easy to create a visual and aural link. If you picture someone squashing ants (and maybe get grossed out), you also have another visual link and an emotional link. Here's another example: Eschew (verb): to avoid. Think: AH-CHOO! ESCHEW people who say "AH-CHOO!" unless you want to catch their colds. The word eschew sounds similar to a sneeze (ah-choo!), so your brain will now link the two sounds. If you picture yourself avoiding someone who is about to sneeze in your face, even better! Again, the more connections you make in your brain to the new word, the easier it will be for you to recall it.

Download or read book Mastering Core Sat Words written by William H. Shin and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mr. Shin is my current writing teacher who has taught me for almost a year. If I were to study SATs by myself or with a tutor, I would use Mr. shin's book, "Mastering Core SAT Words." His book is different from other publishers because he used words that were used in the past SATs. Also it is currently published, its most updated with new vocabularies that many people are not familiar with. So if you are a student who is studying for SAYs, or just looking for handy word books to study from, I strongly recommend "Mastering Core SAT Words!" Soojin Cho (Ridgefield Memorial High School) This book contains as many as 1,395 core SAT words long with synonyms, definitions and example sentences. In addition, in order to help SAT preparation students memorize the words more effectively, certain words have stars(*), which indicate the degrees of difficulty of memorizing the words. Based on my long term SAT teaching experience, SAT preparation students must precisely learn the definitions of the SAT words in this book to enhance their SAT Critical Reading Scores: particularly on the Sentence Completion and the Short Reading Passage sections. Once students have completed the memorization of al the words, they will be able to start dealing with questions related to the Long Passages more easily and efficiently. William H. Shin, Author
