This fascinating book treats the use of words from a completely new perspective. Far from being purely abstract entities, words are believed to emerge from an interaction between morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic components. For this reason, the book draws from a vast spectrum of naturally occurring texts representing almost every style, register, and genre. It uses an extremely wide variety of language, and provides a key to help readers check their answers to the questions it poses.

A true tour de force, this book documents the transformation of one Indian literature, Tamil, under the impact of colonialism and Western modernity. While Tamil is a living language, it is also India's second oldest classical language next to Sanskrit, and has a literary history that goes back over two thousand years. On the basis of extensive archival research, Sascha Ebeling tackles a host of issues pertinent to Tamil elite literary production and consumption during the nineteenth century. These include the functioning and decline of traditional systems in which poet-scholars were patronized by religious institutions, landowners, and local kings; the anatomy of changes in textual practices, genres, styles, poetics, themes, tastes, and audiences; and the role of literature in the politics of social reform, gender, and incipient nationalism. The work concludes with a discussion of the most striking literary development of the time—the emergence of the Tamil novel.

A child of the treacherous foster care system who beat the odds to become a corporate magnate, William Dennis has dismissed the notion that Black men are unable to show their proverbial scars. Eloquently using poetry to symbolically paint images of the Black man’s socially pervasive problems, he addresses concerns that many have tried to hide. One must purchase this book and see for themselves as words cannot describe the labor of love combined with audacious sincerity that is seen in each poem. This is not just a statement; it is true! You can give this book to anyone you love. That means brother, sister, father, mother, friend, teacher or that little Black boy lost in a cycle of despair. Welcome to My Realm: Words of a Man Raised in an Urban Jungle candidly educates us about the trials and tribulations of Black men and facilitates a discussion based on healing. Though William intentionally addresses Black men, the book of poetry can serve as a guide to any person regardless of race

Realms of Meaning presents an accessible introduction to semantics. It provides an understanding of the way meaning works in natural languages, against a background of how we communicate with language. Avoiding theoretical terminology and linguistic theories it concentrates instead on the analysis of meaning, and looks in depth at such subjects as opposites and negatives, modal verbs, prepositions and word meanings. Examples are chosen mainly from English to provide material for the wider discussion of the principles of the subject, but European, East Asian and other languages also provide illuminating examples.
