Bachiesichang Dictionary of English Errors
Author: King Sulleyman D. Bachiesichang
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483618846
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 671
Book Description
English like any other language is replete with problems not only for foreign learners, but also for native speakers. As a living language that is changing continuously, certain words and phrases are commonly misused even in the hands of experienced users. Consider this deviant expression I will do my possible best to pass the test. It is rather right to say I will do all that I can to pass the test. In Standard English we do not use possible to qualify best. This dictionary sows a seed in your mind an engaging experience of Standard English proficiency as a deposit of gold worth poor mans money. If you've ever struggled with a word on the tip of your tongue, searched for a witty comeback, or lacking the ability to express yourself and consult a good sentence, then you understand just how useful this dictionary can be.

Chiefs, Priests, and Praise-Singers
Author: Wyatt MacGaffey
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813933870
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
In his new book, the eminent anthropologist Wyatt MacGaffey provides an ethnographically enriched history of Dagbon from the fifteenth century to the present, setting that history in the context of the regional resources and political culture of northern Ghana. Chiefs, Priests, and Praise-Singers shows how the history commonly assumed by scholars has been shaped by the prejudices of colonial anthropology, the needs of British indirect rule, and local political agency. The book demonstrates, too, how political agency has shaped the kinship system. MacGaffey traces the evolution of chieftaincy as the sources of power changed and as land ceased to be simply the living space of the dependents of a chief and became a commodity and a resource for development. The internal violence in Dagbon that has been a topic of national and international concern since 2002 is shown to be a product of the interwoven values of tradition, modern Ghanaian politics, modern education, and economic opportunism.
