Book Description
Morriña explores the story of Doña Aurora, her son Rogelio and Esclavita, the new maid of the house. The novel follows a simple plot, almost a domestic tale of the three characters, whose inner monologue is presented in such a clear and lifelike way that it evokes readers' emotions. It's a story about the undesirable outcomes of manipulating the sentiments of others. The book has an intriguing character who is relatively less sketched but leaves us with an everlasting impression. Emilia Pardo Bazán published Morriña in 1889, and it became an instant hit. The author received fame for this work which led her to become a prominent figure in the literary movement among the Spanish public. Following her style, Bazan included political issues, personal visions, and social portraits in Morrina. The people, the customs, and the Spanish society's life during the period are illustrated in this work in great detail.

Book Description
This book examines the contribution of various recent developments in linguistics to contrastive analysis. The articles range across a broad gamut of languages, with most attention going to the languages of Europe. They show how advances in theory and computer technology are together impacting the field of contrastive linguistics. Part I focuses, from a broadly functional-cognitive viewpoint, on the close link with typology, stressing the importance of embedding the treatment of grammatical categories in their contexts of use. Part II turns to methodological issues, exploring the enormous potential offered by parallel, computer-accessible corpora to contrastive linguistics and to enhancing the testability, authenticity and empirical adequacy of cross-linguistic studies. Part III is concerned with contrastive semantics, ranging from individual items to entire grammatical constructions, and shows how meanings are coupled to language-specific cognitive strategies and even to cultural differences in subjective awareness and the fashioning of personal identity.

Book Description
Galicia, a non-state nation in north-west Spain, has often been portrayed as a sentimental nation, a misty land of poets and legends. This book offers the first study of this trope as a feminizing, colonial stereotype that has marked Galician cultural history since the late nineteenth century. Through a close reading of the main texts of Galician literary history, the author shows how this trope has helped sustain the unequal power relation between Galicia and the Spanish State. As a consequence, questions of masculinity, morality and respectability have played an essential role in Galicia's national construction, thereby enforcing a masculine definition and limiting the role of women. This book argues for a revision of the main texts of Galician cultural nationalism through a gender and postcolonial perspective, showing that contemporary portrayals of Galician history are dependent on the politically debilitating trope of Galician sentimentality.
