Book Description
When Arkell and Dar first met there was no tension or danger. Which in and of itself was strange given two such dangerous beings. Rather, an instant bonding took place which has defied all scientific analysis for the ten years they have been partners. They communicated both telepathically and empathically. Regardless of distance, they `felt' what the other felt. Words like loyalty, trust, understanding, even love were inadequate to express the strength and depth of that symbiotic bonding. From the day Arkell first saw Dar they `became' one. And for the past ten years they had become a legend in the Federation...the penultimate fighting machine. They had never failed in a mission. Eventually, the mere threat to dispatch the `Two That Are One' became sufficient negative incentive to precipitate immediate discussions and to end conflict.

Archi
Author: Oliver Bond
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191064459
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
This book presents a controlled evaluation of three widely practised syntactic theories on the basis of the extremely complex agreement system of Archi, an endangered Nakh-Daghestanian language. Even straightforward agreement examples are puzzling for syntacticians because agreement involves both redundancy and arbitrariness. Agreement is a significant source of syntactic complexity, exacerbated by the great diversity of its morphological expression. Imagine how the discipline of linguistics would be if expert practitioners of different theories met in a collaborative setting to tackle such challenging agreement data - to test the limits of their models and examine how the predictions of their theories differ given the same linguistic facts. Following an overview of the essentials of Archi grammar and an introduction to the remarkable agreement phenomena found in this language, three distinct accounts of the Archi data examine the tractability and predictive power of major syntactic theories: Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, and Minimalism. The final chapter compares the problems encountered and the solutions proposed in the different syntactic analyses and outlines the implications of the challenges that the Archi agreement system poses for linguistic theory.

Gender and Generation on the Far Western Frontier
Author: Cynthia Culver Prescott
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816549451
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
As her family traveled the Oregon Trail in 1852, Mary Ellen Todd taught herself to crack the ox whip. Though gender roles often blurred on the trail, families quickly tried to re-establish separate roles for men and women once they had staked their claims. For Mary Ellen Todd, who found a “secret joy in having the power to set things moving,” this meant trading in the ox whip for the more feminine butter churn. In Gender and Generation on the Far Western Frontier, Cynthia Culver Prescott expertly explores the shifting gender roles and ideologies that countless Anglo-American settlers struggled with in Oregon’s Willamette Valley between 1845 and 1900. Drawing on traditional social history sources as well as divorce records, married women’s property records, period photographs, and material culture, Prescott reveals that Oregon settlers pursued a moving target of middle-class identity in the second half of the nineteenth century. Prescott traces long-term ideological changes, arguing that favorable farming conditions enabled Oregon families to progress from accepting flexible frontier roles to participating in a national consumer culture in only one generation. As settlers’ children came of age, participation in this new culture of consumption and refined leisure became the marker of the middle class. Middle-class culture shifted from the first generation’s emphasis on genteel behavior to a newer genteel consumption. This absorbing volume reveals the shifting boundaries of traditional women’s spheres, the complicated relationships between fathers and sons, and the second generation’s struggle to balance their parents’ ideology with a changing national sense of class consciousness.
