The Acquisition of Verbs and their Grammar : The Effect of Particular Languages (Studies in Theoretical Psycholinguistics)
This volume investigates the linguistic development of children with
regard to their knowledge of the verb and its grammar. The selection of
papers gives empirical evidence from a wide variety of languages
including Hebrew, German, Croatian, Japanese, English, Spanish, Dutch,
Indonesian, Estonian, Russian and French. Findings are interpreted with
a focus on cross-linguistic similarities and differences, without
subscribing to either a UG-based or usage-based approach. Currently
debated topics, such as the role of frequency, as well as traditional
ones such as bootstrapping are integrated into the presentation of
language-specific, learner-specific and more general properties of the
acquisition process. The papers are united by their focus on
discovering what determines rule-governed behavior in language learners
who are coming to terms with the grammar of verbs.
The book is an introductory book to radiological English on the basis that there are a lot of radiologists, radiology residents, radiology nurses, radiology students, and radiographers worldwide whose English level is indeterminate because their reading skills are much higher than their fluency. It is intended to help those health care professionals who need English for their work, but do not speak English on a day-to-day basis.

My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to becalled Pip. I give Pirrip as my father’s family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister – Mrs Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription
Moab Is My Washpot: An Autobiography [Audiobook] Stephen Fry is not making this up! Fry started out as a dishonorable schoolboy inclined to lies, pranks, bringing decaying moles to school as a science exhibit, theft, suicide attempts, the illicit pursuit of candy and lads, a genius for mischief, and a neurotic life of crime that sent him straight to Pucklechurch Prison and Cambridge University, where he vaulted to fame along with actress Emma Thompson.
