A course for children which provides a motivating and enjoyable start to learning English.
A very wide range of activities (involving music, language, logic, movement, spatial relations and much more) because children learn best when every aspect of their intelligence is stimulated.
An introduction to the general linguistic study of aspect. Topics covered include the relation of tense and aspect, the morphology and the semantics of aspect, and structuralist and philosophical approaches. Dr Comrie draws his examples particularly from English and the Slavonic and Romance languages, but also from Arabic, Chinese, Welsh, Greek and a variety of others. This is the first study of aspect, considered as a general linguistic phenomenon. It is intended for students of individual languages as well as for students of linguistics.
James Higginbotham's work on tense, aspect, and indexicality discusses the principles governing demonstrative, temporal, and indexical expressions in natural language and presents new ideas in the semantics of sentence structure. The book brings together his key contributions to the fields, including his recent intervention in the debate on the roles of context and anaphora in reference. The book's chapters are presented in the form in which they were first published, with afterwords where needed to cover points where the author's thought has developed.
The author assembles a collection of plans for 23 of the most spectacular wooden boxes available. Lydgate, who made about half of the featured projects, feels that boxes give the observer a sense of mystery because their contents are unknown. The projects range from traditional rectangular boxes to unusual, one-of-a-kind artworks. One aspect each project has in common is perfect execution and beautiful materials. There is something here for woodworkers of all skill levels.
