Book Description
Though happily married at forty-three, something’s missing in Laura’s life – the closeness, guidance and even discipline that she received from her mother while she was growing up. When she meets the older woman Harriet, the formidable woman sparks in Laura the kind of feeling she has been hungering for. While the two women are shopping at the local mall, Laura watches in awe as she witnesses Harriet intervene when a young female customer becomes disrespectful of the shop assistance. And when Harriet’s admonishment of the rude woman ends with a blistering. “If you were my daughter, when I got you home, I’d spank your bottom so hard that you wouldn’t be able to sit down tomorrow,” Laura finds herself so aroused by the encounter that she’s creaming her panties. Once confessing her secret desires to Harriet, Laura soon finds herself calling Harriet “Auntie”, and on a roller coaster ride of desire, uncertainty, self-discovery, kindness, and promise at the hands of this experienced teacher. Auntie even provides her with useful tips for Laura to bring to her marriage bed.

An enthralling novel of two intertwining stories based on real events in 19th century Ireland and the Canadian Arctic.

Meanwhile, second-in-command, Francis Crozier, worries about their inexperienced crew. In Derry, little Weesy Coppin dies of a fever but, as far as her sister Ann and brother William are concerned, her spirit returns to haunt them. While an anxious world waits for news of the Artic explorers, the Coppin family try to understand what is going in their home. But, then, one night, all is revealed when the truth literally steps out of the shadows.

The Emergence of Black English
Author: Guy Bailey
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027277834
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Debate over the evolution of Black English Vernacular (BEV) has permeated Afro-American studies, creole linguistics, dialectology, and sociolinguistics for a quarter of a century with little sign of a satisfactory resolution, primarily because evidence that bears directly on the earlier stages of BEV is sparse. This book brings together 11 transcripts of mechanical recordings of interviews with former slaves born well over a century ago. It attempts to make this crucial source of data as widely known as possible and to explore its importance for the study of Black English Vernacular in view of various problems of textual composition and interpretation. It does so by providing a complete description of the contents of the recordings, by providing transcripts of most of the contents, and by publishing a group of interpretive essays which examine the data in the light of other relevant historical, cultural, social, and linguistic evidence and which provide contexts for interpretation and analysis. In these essays a group of diverse scholars on BEV analyze the same texts for the first time; the lack of consensus that emerges may seem surprising, but in fact highlights some of the basic problems of textual composition and interpretation and of scholarly dispositions that underlie the study of BEV. The papers raise crucial questions about the evolution of BEV, about its relationship to other varieties, and, most important, about the construction and interpretation of linguistic texts.
