Word by Word
Author: Kory Stamper
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 110197026X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
“We think of English as a fortress to be defended, but a better analogy is to think of English as a child. We love and nurture it into being, and once it gains gross motor skills, it starts going exactly where we don’t want it to go: it heads right for the goddamned electrical sockets.” With wit and irreverence, lexicographer Kory Stamper cracks open the obsessive world of dictionary writing, from the agonizing decisions about what to define and how to do it to the knotty questions of ever-changing word usage. Filled with fun facts—for example, the first documented usage of “OMG” was in a letter to Winston Churchill—and Stamper’s own stories from the linguistic front lines (including how she became America’s foremost “irregardless” apologist, despite loathing the word), Word by Word is an endlessly entertaining look at the wonderful complexities and eccentricities of the English language.

Stories Begin: A 2-Word Sentence Book
Author: Elizabeth D. Davis
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1483409945
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
This simple, playful book of picture frames (subject nouns) and movie clapboards (action verbs) shows by example a basic but powerful construct of the English language---that sentences generally can be created with two words (subject noun first, verb second), and any additional words in the sentence add extra information. Read the book over and over to find new illustration details and new teaching points, such as subject-verb agreement; pure and slant rhyme; count and non-count nouns; English-Spanish cognates; sentence-ending punctuation; spelling rules for attaching suffixes to bases; reading comprehension strategies, such as predicting and making connections, and literary devices, such as onomatopoeia and foreshadowing. This book is also an effective mentor text for beginning writers.

Understanding Word and Sentence
Author: G.B. Simpson
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080867316
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Research concerning structure and processing in the mental lexicon has achieved central prominence within cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics. Historically, however, much of the research on the lexicon focussed not on its role in language comprehension, but as a medium for studying semantic memory. This picture has changed in recent years, with much more research examining the role of lexical processes and output in language comprehension.Gathered together in this volume is the work of some of those researchers who are responsible for this shift of emphasis. Chapters deal with the role of sentence contexts in word recognition, processes involved in the activation and enhancement of lexical information, and the interaction of lexical and syntactic information in sentence processing. A wide range of theoretical and empirical issues relating to language understanding are discussed.

Word and Sentence Prosody
Author: Haruo Kubozono
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311073012X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive work on word and sentence prosody in Koshikijima Japanese, a dialect of Japanese not fully documented in the literature. It is an endangered dialect spoken by about 2,000 speakers on a small southern island in Japan. Being separated from mainland dialects by the sea, this dialect exhibits unique prosodic features not shared by other Japanese dialects. It also exhibits considerable regional variations among the ten or more small villages that were isolated from each other until recently. Based on the author’s fieldwork, the book analyzes word accent and intonation, the two linguistic areas in which this endangered dialect exhibits unique features and remarkable regional variations within itself. They include the emergence and development of a secondary H tone, postlexical deletion of the primary H tone, and the L boundary tone in question and vocative intonation. These phenomena bear crucially on general issues in prosody, including postlexical tonal neutralizations, competitions between lexical and postlexical tones, and the number of tones that a syllable can maximally bear. The book thus demonstrates the relevance of studying an endangered language/dialect in general linguistic contexts.
