Book Description
Spain is on the brink of economic collapse and European banks demand that any bailout be linked to harsh domestic changes. An alliance of Islamic bankers counters this with a rescue package containing no conditions at all. But behind this simple solution is an underlying goal: to break the unity of Europe and put Madrid on the path back to Islamic rule. When the US stridently opposes the deal, terrorists storm the American consulate in Barcelona and slaughter an entire six-man US Marine security guard. In response, Washington unleashes black ops team Task Force Trident to take down those responsible for the attack, and Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson, one of the world's best snipers, is called in. Meanwhile, Algerian mastermind Yanis Rebiane puts pressure on Spain to make a decision, while his killing-machine son, Djahid, roams the US, murdering anyone his father deems a threat to the radical takeover scheme . . . Once Swanson's name is unearthed from secret files, Kyle and Djahid become mortal enemies. One shot will decide the future of Spain, NATO and the EU.

Scope and Specificity
Author: Feng-Hsi Liu
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027227373
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Scope and Specificity is an investigation of quantifier scope interaction in natural language, with special reference to English and Chinese. In particular, it is concerned with semantic properties of NPs. Quantifier scope plays an important role in current theories of syntax and semantics. However, most studies of quantifier scope are only concerned with the behavior of a small number of quantifiers, e.g. 'every', 'some', 'all'. As a result, the generalizations made on the basis of these quantifiers often do not hold when a wider range of quantifiers is considered. In this study a wide variety of NP types are examined with respect to how they interact with other NPs. The key concept explored is that of semantic scope dependency/independence. NPs are considered according to two properties: whether they can induce scope-dependency and whether they can be scope-dependent. By observing how in basic sentences NPs behave with respect to the two properties, the author presents a picture of quantifier scope much different from what has been assumed in the literature.

Some of the most prominent social and cultural anthropologists have come together in this volume to discuss Maurice Godelier's work.
