Rich Dad's Prophecy:
Why the Biggest Stock Market Crash in History Is Still Coming... and How You Can Prepare Yourself and Profit from It!
As recent events have proven, when it comes to retirement,
relying solely on a 401K plan is a sure recipe for disaster. By the
year 2012-10 years from now-the vast majority of Baby Boomers will be
on the verge of retirement-and they'll be looking to cash in on their
hefty 401K retirement packages. The problem is, according to Kiyosaki
and Lechter, that all of these people who religiously pumped thousands
of dollars over their working years into their 401Ks are going to be
crushed if their mutual funds just haven't performed. To avert this
financial crisis, Kiyosaki and Lechter provide a detailed financial
plan to help forward-looking people prepare for the worst and start
planning now.
This book is the first systematic account of the syntax and semantics of names. Drawing on work in onomastics, philosophy, and linguistics John Anderson examines the distribution and subcategorization of names within a framework of syntactic categories, and considers how the morphosyntactic behaviour of names connects to their semantic roles. He argues that names occur in two basic circumstances: one involving vocatives and their use in naming predications, where they are not definite; the other their use as arguments of predicators, where they are definite. This division is discussed in relation to English, French, Greek, and Seri, and a range of other languages. Professor Anderson reveals that the semantic status of names, including prototypicality, is crucial to understanding their morphosyntax and role in derivational relationships. He shows that semantically coherent subsets of names, such as those referring to people and places, are characterized by morphosyntactic properties which may vary from language to language. His original and important investigation will appeal to scholars and advanced students of linguistics and philosophy.
