A Discussion Of 250 Deep Yoruba (African) Proverbs

At a time when Yoruba language is somewhat relegated to the background because of continuously reducing usage at its base, there is the risk that the knowledge and wisdom kept within its constituent parts will be dragged down with it, and will therefore not be available to the younger generation who also need it for their mental and human development. There should be a change in that trend.In this book, Alaba J. Babalola discusses 250 deep Yoruba proverbs using English language as the major medium of communication to draw attention of the new generation of Yoruba men and women, and their friends around the world, to the profound traditional wisdom of the Yoruba elders in antiquity, which has been proven to be very useful in raising well-behaved and cultured individuals in the Yoruba society over the years.What's In the Box- A 428 pages book - Matte Cover- Balck ink on White paper

First Exposure To A Second Language

The initial state of learner spontaneous input processing in foreign language learning, as well as the extent to which this processing leads to intake, is of central importance to theoreticians and teachers alike. In this collection of original studies, leading experts examine a range of issues, such as what learners do when faced with a language they know little or nothing about, what factors appear to mediate beginning learners' processing of input, how beginners treat two types of information - form and meaning in the input, and how adult cognition deals with stimulus frequency at this initial stage. This book provides a microscopic view of learners' processing of foreign language input at the early stages of learning, and evaluates a variety of methodological options within the context of ab initio processing of foreign languages other than English, such as German, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, and Spanish.ZhaoHong Han is Professor of Language and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.Rebekah Rast is Associate Professor of English and Linguistics at TheAmerican University of Paris.This volume explores the core matter of all theories of language acquisition: the earliest stages of learning. It is crucial reading to all interested in the nature of L2 acquisition.'Marianne Gullberg, Lund UniversityCover illustration: Silhouette faces over white background, vector illustration/Shutterstock.

Quoting Speech In Early English (Hardcover)

STUDIES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGEThe aim of this series is to provide a framework for original studies of English, both present-day and past. All books are based securely on empirical research, and represent theoretical and descriptive contributions to our knowledge of national and international varieties of English, both written and spoken. The series covers a broad range of topics and approaches, including syntax, phonology, grammar, vocabulary, discourse, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, and is aimed at an international readership.Quoting Speech in Early EnglishBefore quotation marks became a widespread convention, English texts were organized more fluidly, employing varying lexical and textual strategies for marking represented discourse. When we add our present-day quotation marks to editions of Middle English texts, we also overlay our modern interpretation of speech representation, with its expectations of faithful reporting and carefully delineated voices. In doing so, we mask the less-determined nature of early speech marking, and obscure the ways that its plasticity functions as a narrative and stylistic tool. This book provides the first full study of speech representation in pre-modern English. Studying the pragmatic and discourse strategies of English texts from 1350 to 1600 is essential to reading Middle English works and to understanding the cultural assumptions implicit in the production of early written texts.Key FeaturesPublisher:- CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESSBookseller: BADE BOOKSLanguage : EnglishHardcover
