Download or read book The Motivated Syntax of Arbitrary Signs written by Erica C. Garcia and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed study challenges the claim that syntax is arbitrary and autonomous, as well as the assumption that Spanish clitic clusters constitute grammaticalized units. Diverse--apparently unrelated--restrictions on clitic clustering in both simplex VP's and Accusative cum Infinitive structures are shown to be cognitively motivated, given the meaning of the individual clitics, and the compositional/interpretative routines those meanings motivate. The analysis accounts, in coherent and principled fashion, for the absolute non-occurrence of some clusters, and the interpretation-dependent acceptability of all remaining clitic combinations: cluster acceptability depends on the ease with which the given clitic combination can be processed to yield a congruent message; there is no point in combining clitics whose meanings preclude speedy processing of the cluster. The monograph goes beyond previous work on Spanish clitics in its wealth of data, the range of syntactic phenomena discussed, and its analytic scope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuentos from the House on West Connecticut Avenue began as a writing exercise in a teachers seminar. The assignment was to write about your first house with as much detail as possible. As I wrote, I remembered and began to lose track of time. That is how the first story, The Bottom Drawer, came into existence. Were there more stories in me? Ones that others could relate to? Oh, yes! In And Then Came Eloisa you will remember the houseguest that overstayed her welcome. The Green American blends comedy and sadness in dealing with the subject of racism. The two Christmas stories that are included are examples of how some families deal with the challenges of maintaining important values and allowing for change. Hysterically funny and always thought provoking, Cuentos lets you experience what it was like growing up eating rice and beans and believing that you could teach others to fly. Filled with rich, evocative language, each story lets you see how the future is shaped by how we see our past.
