Book Description
"Dazzling. . . . A hard-won love letter to readers and to booksellers, as well as a compelling story about how we cope with pain and fear, injustice and illness. One good way is to press a beloved book into another's hands. Read The Sentence and then do just that."—USA Today, Four Stars In this New York Times bestselling novel, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage, and of a woman's relentless errors. Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence, asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention," must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning. The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional, and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.

Pages : 193
Book Description
A captivating meditation on the power of the sentence by the author of Essayism, a 2018 New Yorker book of the year. In Suppose a Sentence, Brian Dillon, whom John Banville has called “a literary flâneur in the tradition of Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin,” has written a sequel of sorts to Essayism, turning his attention to the oblique and complex pleasures of the sentence. A series of essays prompted by a single sentence—from Shakespeare to James Baldwin, John Ruskin to Joan Didion—this new book explores style, voice, and language, along with the subjectivity of reading. Both an exercise in practical criticism and a set of experiments or challenges, Suppose a Sentence is a polemical and personal reflection on the art of the sentence in literature.

Sentence
Author: Daniel Genis
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698405765
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A memoir of a decade in prison by a well-educated young addict known as the "Apologetic Bandit" In 2003 Daniel Genis, the son of a famous Soviet émigré writer, broadcaster, and culture critic, was fresh out of NYU when he faced a serious heroin addiction that led him into debt and ultimately crime. After he was arrested for robbing people at knifepoint, he was nicknamed the “Apologetic Bandit” in the press, given his habit of expressing regret to his victims as he took their cash. He was sentenced to twelve years—ten with good behavior, a decade he survived by reading 1,046 books, taking up weightlifting, having philosophical discussions with his fellow inmates, working at a series of prison jobs, and in general observing an existence for which nothing in his life had prepared him. Genis describes in unsparing and vivid detail the realities of daily life in the New York penal system. In his journey from Rikers Island and through a series of upstate institutions, he encounters violence on an almost daily basis, while learning about the social strata of gangs, the “court” system that sets geographic boundaries in prison yards, how sex was obtained, the workings of the black market in drugs and more practical goods, the inventiveness required for everyday tasks such as cooking, and how debilitating solitary confinement actually is—all while trying to preserve his relationship with his wife, whom he recently married. Written with empathy and wit, Sentence is a strikingly powerful memoir of the brutalities of prison and how one man survived them, leaving its walls with this book inside him, “one made of pain and fear and laughter and lots of other books.”

Grammar is the set of rules that govern the structure of language. Language evolves and changes over time. Knowledge of grammar helps in spoken and written communication. Three basic units which constitute the structure of language are – Phrase, Clause and Sentence. A phrase is a group of words that makes incomplete sense. It is a part of a sentence and cannot stand alone. It does not include a subject and a verb. For example. in the south a pink dress at ten o’clock A clause is a group of words consisting of a subject and a predicate. It can make complete sense on its own. It may or may not be part of a sentence. Clauses are of two types : Main or independent clause : A main clause can stand by itself as a complete sentence and function as a simple sentence. It consists of a subject and a predicate. For example : (1) She has a diamond ring (2) Ashok lives in Dubai In the above examples, She and Ashok are subjects. Has a diamond ring and lives in Dubai are predicates Also, the whole clause makes complete sense. Subordinate or Dependent Clause : A subordinate clause does not make complete sense on its own. It is dependent on the main clause. However, it consists of a subject and a predicate, For example : (1) She has a ring which is made of diamonds (2) This is the place where Himalaya was buried. The words in italics are the subordinate clauses. As they on their own do not make complete sense and are dependent on the main clause She has a ring and This is the place. What is Sentence?

The words in italics are the subordinate clauses. As they on their own do not make complete sense and are dependent on the main clause She has a ring and This is the place. Definition of a Sentence A sentence means a group of words that makes complete sense. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. It always contains a finite verb. A sentence may be a statement, question, exclamation or command. It consists of a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. A sentence may be short and simple or long and complex. For example: (1) She likes Sweets (2) She likes Bengali Sweets (3) She likes Bengali Sweets which are made of milk (4) She likes Bengali Sweets which are made of milk and are tasty Structure of a Sentence Illustration: Components of a Sentence A sentence consists of the following parts : 1. Subject : The person or thing about which something is stated is called subject. 2. Predicate : It is that part of a sentence that tells something about the subject. (1) His sister works in London (2) The flight arrived late (3) This is my car (4) The young lady was running (5) The temperature in Gulmarg is zero degree In the above sentences the italicized words are the subjects while the other words are the predicates. 3. Direct Object : A person or thing which receives the action of the verb is the direct object. It comes after the verb and answers the question ‘What’. For example: Sohan ate breakfast The breakfast was tasty Naina read the book He repaired his mobile I have written a book In the above sentences, italicised words are direct objects. Sentence structure is Subject, Verb, Direct Object. 4. Indirect Object : A person or thing that the action is done to or for is known as the indirect object. It is the receiver of the direct object. It follows the verb and answers the questions ‘Whom’. The indirect object usually comes just before the direct object. For example : She made Rava dosa for breakfast Deepak is sending his wife an e-mail right now Rohan has made his mother promise to work hard Ms. Gupta teaches them communication skills In the above sentences, italicized words are indirect objects. Sentence structure is Subject, Verb, Indirect Object, Direct Object. 5. Object of the Preposition : It is a noun or pronoun that provides meaning. The noun that comes after the preposition is called the object of the preposition. For example : The cat is looking at the mouse In this sentence “the mouse” is the object of the preposition “at”. They are going to ooty Here “ooty” is the object of the preposition “to”. Object of the preposition is different from the indirect object. The object of the preposition comes immediately after the preposition whereas the Indirect object does not come immediately after the preposition. Moreover, the indirect object is usually followed by the direct object but this rule does not apply to object of the preposition. For example : Mohan gave Monika the book. Mohan gave the book to Monika In the first sentence Monika is the indirect object. In the second sentence Monika is the object of the preposition “to”. The meaning of both the sentences is the same but their structure is different. 6. Verbs : A verb means that part of speech which describes an action or occurrence. For example, John ran a mile. Perry is a teacher. We know the solution to this problem. Verbs are of the following types according to their function in the sentence. (i) Finite Verbs : A finite verb (or main verb) agrees with its subject in person and number. It forms the main clause of a sentence. It also changes according to the tense of the sentence. For example: She is a professor They are professors She goes to college five days a week They go to college five days a week In the above sentences, italicized words are finite verbs. (ii) Non-Finite Verbs : A verb that does not change according to the person, number and tense of the sentence is called a non-finite verb. Non-finite Verbs are of three types : (a) Infinitive : It is generally used like a noun. Generally the word “to” is used before the infinitive verb. For example: To err is human To forgive is divine Asha loves to sing In the above sentences, italicised words are infinitive verbs (b) Participle : It is a verb which can be used as an adjective. Present participle ends with ing and the past participle ends with ed or t. For example : We saw the breaking news today at 7 p.m. The broken glass cut my foot. The food tasted like a burnt log. In the above sentences italicised words are participles (c) Gerunds : A gerund is a verb but acts as a noun. It ends with ing. For example: She likes reading poetry. Playing football is not allowed in this park. Running is a healthy activity. Painting keeps me busy. I enjoy dancing to classical music. In the above sentences italicised words are gerunds. (iii) Auxiliary Verbs : The verbs ‘be’, ‘have’ and ‘do’ which are used with main verbs to make tenses, passive forms, questions and negatives are known as auxiliary or helping verbs. These include is, own, are, was, were, has, have, had, does, do, did. For example: There are 23 auxiliary verbs that can be remembered using the abbreviation “CHAD B SWIM” HomepageBlogWhat is Sentence?

When used as an adjective, it comes after the noun or pronoun which it is describing. The objective case of a pronoun (me, him, her, us, them, whom) is used a prepositional phrase. Mughal Garden is part of the Rashtrapati Bhawan Estate In this sentence ‘of is the preposition Rashtrapati Bhawan Estate is a noun’ and is the object of the preposition. The phrase decided the word ‘part’ (ii) Noun Phrase : A noun phrase consists of a single noun or pronoun and its modifiers. It does the function of a noun. It may be used as a subject, an object or a complement. For example: The dark, foul smoke engulfed the locality (noun phrase as subject) Namita does a lot of office work at home (noun phrase as object) The constitution club is a great place for a press conference (noun phrase as complement) (iii) Verb Phrase : In a verb Phrase, a main verb and one or more helping verbs are linked together. It serves as the predicate of a clause or sentence. It defines the different times of the action. For example: I have read a book I was reading a book I have already read a book I must have been reading a book 8. Complements : A word or a group of words that completes the meaning of a subject, an object, or a verb is known as complement: (i) Subject complement : A subject complement modifies or refers to the subject and follows a verb. It may be a noun or an adjective for example: Taj Mahal is Magnificent : (The adjective magnificent is a subject complement that describes the subject Taj Mahal). Mr. Anoop Jalota is a bhajan Singer (The noun phrase bhajan singer describes Mr. Anoop Jalota). (ii) Object Complement : It modifies and follows an object. For example : Voters elected her a member of the Parliament (Member of Parliament describes the direct object her).

Grammar is the set of rules that govern the structure of language. Language evolves and changes over time. Knowledge of grammar helps in spoken and written communication. Three basic units which constitute the structure of language are – Phrase, Clause and Sentence. A phrase is a group of words that makes incomplete sense. It is a part of a sentence and cannot stand alone. It does not include a subject and a verb. For example. in the south a pink dress at ten o’clock A clause is a group of words consisting of a subject and a predicate. It can make complete sense on its own. It may or may not be part of a sentence. Clauses are of two types : Main or independent clause : A main clause can stand by itself as a complete sentence and function as a simple sentence. It consists of a subject and a predicate. For example : (1) She has a diamond ring (2) Ashok lives in Dubai In the above examples, She and Ashok are subjects. Has a diamond ring and lives in Dubai are predicates Also, the whole clause makes complete sense. Subordinate or Dependent Clause : A subordinate clause does not make complete sense on its own. It is dependent on the main clause. However, it consists of a subject and a predicate, For example : (1) She has a ring which is made of diamonds (2) This is the place where Himalaya was buried. The words in italics are the subordinate clauses. As they on their own do not make complete sense and are dependent on the main clause She has a ring and This is the place. What is Sentence?

The words in italics are the subordinate clauses. As they on their own do not make complete sense and are dependent on the main clause She has a ring and This is the place. Definition of a Sentence A sentence means a group of words that makes complete sense. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. It always contains a finite verb. A sentence may be a statement, question, exclamation or command. It consists of a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. A sentence may be short and simple or long and complex. For example: (1) She likes Sweets (2) She likes Bengali Sweets (3) She likes Bengali Sweets which are made of milk (4) She likes Bengali Sweets which are made of milk and are tasty Structure of a Sentence Illustration: Components of a Sentence A sentence consists of the following parts : 1. Subject : The person or thing about which something is stated is called subject. 2. Predicate : It is that part of a sentence that tells something about the subject. (1) His sister works in London (2) The flight arrived late (3) This is my car (4) The young lady was running (5) The temperature in Gulmarg is zero degree In the above sentences the italicized words are the subjects while the other words are the predicates. 3. Direct Object : A person or thing which receives the action of the verb is the direct object. It comes after the verb and answers the question ‘What’. For example: Sohan ate breakfast The breakfast was tasty Naina read the book He repaired his mobile I have written a book In the above sentences, italicised words are direct objects. Sentence structure is Subject, Verb, Direct Object. 4. Indirect Object : A person or thing that the action is done to or for is known as the indirect object. It is the receiver of the direct object. It follows the verb and answers the questions ‘Whom’. The indirect object usually comes just before the direct object. For example : She made Rava dosa for breakfast Deepak is sending his wife an e-mail right now Rohan has made his mother promise to work hard Ms. Gupta teaches them communication skills In the above sentences, italicized words are indirect objects. Sentence structure is Subject, Verb, Indirect Object, Direct Object. 5. Object of the Preposition : It is a noun or pronoun that provides meaning. The noun that comes after the preposition is called the object of the preposition. For example : The cat is looking at the mouse In this sentence “the mouse” is the object of the preposition “at”. They are going to ooty Here “ooty” is the object of the preposition “to”. Object of the preposition is different from the indirect object. The object of the preposition comes immediately after the preposition whereas the Indirect object does not come immediately after the preposition. Moreover, the indirect object is usually followed by the direct object but this rule does not apply to object of the preposition. For example : Mohan gave Monika the book. Mohan gave the book to Monika In the first sentence Monika is the indirect object. In the second sentence Monika is the object of the preposition “to”. The meaning of both the sentences is the same but their structure is different. 6. Verbs : A verb means that part of speech which describes an action or occurrence. For example, John ran a mile. Perry is a teacher. We know the solution to this problem. Verbs are of the following types according to their function in the sentence. (i) Finite Verbs : A finite verb (or main verb) agrees with its subject in person and number. It forms the main clause of a sentence. It also changes according to the tense of the sentence. For example: She is a professor They are professors She goes to college five days a week They go to college five days a week In the above sentences, italicized words are finite verbs. (ii) Non-Finite Verbs : A verb that does not change according to the person, number and tense of the sentence is called a non-finite verb. Non-finite Verbs are of three types : (a) Infinitive : It is generally used like a noun. Generally the word “to” is used before the infinitive verb. For example: To err is human To forgive is divine Asha loves to sing In the above sentences, italicised words are infinitive verbs (b) Participle : It is a verb which can be used as an adjective. Present participle ends with ing and the past participle ends with ed or t. For example : We saw the breaking news today at 7 p.m. The broken glass cut my foot. The food tasted like a burnt log. In the above sentences italicised words are participles (c) Gerunds : A gerund is a verb but acts as a noun. It ends with ing. For example: She likes reading poetry. Playing football is not allowed in this park. Running is a healthy activity. Painting keeps me busy. I enjoy dancing to classical music. In the above sentences italicised words are gerunds. (iii) Auxiliary Verbs : The verbs ‘be’, ‘have’ and ‘do’ which are used with main verbs to make tenses, passive forms, questions and negatives are known as auxiliary or helping verbs. These include is, own, are, was, were, has, have, had, does, do, did. For example: There are 23 auxiliary verbs that can be remembered using the abbreviation “CHAD B SWIM” HomepageBlogWhat is Sentence?

It merely expresses a state or being. For example: The watchman remains awake (state) There is a snag (being) She danced (action) 7. Phrases : A phrase means a group of words that makes some sense but not complete sense. It acts as a single part of speech. It may not have a subject, or a predicate or both. Phrases are of the following types: (i) Prepositional Phrase : It is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun or gerund. For example : He gave the job to her Her car is struck in traffic jam The army works for the entire country A prepositional phrase is generally used as an adjective or adverb. When used as an adjective, it comes after the noun or pronoun which it is describing. The objective case of a pronoun (me, him, her, us, them, whom) is used a prepositional phrase. Mughal Garden is part of the Rashtrapati Bhawan Estate In this sentence ‘of is the preposition Rashtrapati Bhawan Estate is a noun’ and is the object of the preposition. The phrase decided the word ‘part’ (ii) Noun Phrase : A noun phrase consists of a single noun or pronoun and its modifiers. It does the function of a noun. It may be used as a subject, an object or a complement. For example: The dark, foul smoke engulfed the locality (noun phrase as subject) Namita does a lot of office work at home (noun phrase as object) The constitution club is a great place for a press conference (noun phrase as complement) (iii) Verb Phrase : In a verb Phrase, a main verb and one or more helping verbs are linked together. It serves as the predicate of a clause or sentence. It defines the different times of the action. For example: I have read a book I was reading a book I have already read a book I must have been reading a book 8. Complements : A word or a group of words that completes the meaning of a subject, an object, or a verb is known as complement: (i) Subject complement : A subject complement modifies or refers to the subject and follows a verb. It may be a noun or an adjective for example: Taj Mahal is Magnificent : (The adjective magnificent is a subject complement that describes the subject Taj Mahal). Mr. Anoop Jalota is a bhajan Singer (The noun phrase bhajan singer describes Mr. Anoop Jalota). (ii) Object Complement : It modifies and follows an object. For example : Voters elected her a member of the Parliament (Member of Parliament describes the direct object her). I consider smoking cigarettes harmful to health (Cigarettes is the direct object, harmful to health describes it). (iii) Verb Complement : Direct or Indirect object of a verb is called verb complement. It may be a noun, pronoun, or word/group of words acting as a noun. For example : Naina gave Mohan my umbrella (Mohan is the indirect object, my umbrella is the direct object of the verb gave. Both are verb complements) - Sakha Global Books, Inc.

Building Great Sentences
Author: Brooks Landon
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0452298601
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Based on the bestselling series from The Great Courses, Building Great Sentences celebrates the sheer joy of language—and will forever change the way you read and write. Great writing begins with the sentence. Whether it’s two words (“Jesus wept.”) or William Faulkner’s 1,287-word sentence in Absalom! Absalom!, sentences have the power to captivate, entertain, motivate, educate, and, most importantly, delight. Yet, the sentence-oriented approach to writing is too often overlooked in favor of bland economy. Building Great Sentences teaches you to write better sentences by luxuriating in the pleasures of language. Award-winning Professor Brooks Landon draws on examples from masters of long, elegant sentences—including Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, and Samuel Johnson—to reveal the mechanics of how language works on thoughts and emotions, providing the tools to write powerful, more effective sentences.

Material Detention Conditions, Execution of Custodial Sentences and Prisoner Transfer in the EU Member States
Author: Gert Vermeulen
Publisher: Maklu
ISBN: 904660456X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1010
Book Description
In 2008, for the European Union, the introduction of the Framework Decision - the principle of mutual recognition to judgments in criminal matters, imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty for the purpose of their enforcement - sparked discussions as to whether the practical operation of the instrument would be compatible with its very objective, being the enhancement of detained persons' social rehabilitation prospects. Transferring detained people back to their respective Member State of residence and/or nationality within the mutual recognition framework is somewhat precarious in light of the variety of Member States' legal and prison systems. In this context, and following a call for tender by the European Commission, the authors of this book conducted the largest study to date on Member States' material detention conditions, early/conditional release provisions, and sentence execution modalities. In addition to exploring the diversity of legal frameworks, the study also assessed practitioners' views on the cross-border execution of custodial sentences in the EU. The book contains individual Member State reports resulting from legal practitioners' analyses, backed by additional information drawn from monitoring and evaluation conducted at the Council of Europe (Committee for the Prevention of Torture) and United Nation levels. This will be essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities, and defense lawyers. Additionally, it will be an asset to everyone who is involved in or taking an interest in detention issues and cross-border execution of judgements involving deprivation of liberty in the EU.
