English Language Teaching Crosswords
With the help of this booklet you can learn, memorize and revise words
in a fun way. This volume of the Crow series contains a wide selection
of illustrated puzzles and covers approximately 2000 key words.
This state-of-the-art guide to some of the most exciting work in
current linguistics explores how the core components of the language
faculty interact. It examines how these interactions are reflected in
linguistic and cognitive theory, considers what they reveal about the
operations of language within the mind, and looks at their reflections
in expression and communication. Leading international scholars present
cutting-edge accounts of developments in the interfaces between
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
They bring to bear a rich variety of methods and theoretical
perspectives, focus on a broad array of issues and problems, and
illustrate their arguments from a wide range of the world's languages.
After the editors' introduction to its structure, scope, and content,
the book is divided into four parts. The first, Sound, is concerned
with the interfaces between phonetics and phonology, phonology and
morphology, and phonology and syntax. Part II, Structure, considers the
interactions of syntax with morphology, semantics, and the lexicon, and
explores the status of the word and its representional status in the
mind. Part III, Meaning, revisits the syntax-semantics interface from
the perspective of compositionality, and looks at issues concerned with
intonation, discourse, and context. The authors in the final part of
the book, General Architectural
Concerns, examine work on Universal Grammar, the overall model of
language, and linguistic and associated theories of language and
cognition. All scholars and advanced students of language will value
this book, whether they are in linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, artificial intelligence, computational science, or informatics.

The Essential Gaelic (Scottish)-English Dictionary
In
the present volume the aim has been to present as rich a cross-section
of the Gaelic language as possible in the space available, giving due
weight both to the new contexts of our times and to the riches of the
past, as well as to both colloquial and more formal language.
The
registers, styles and contexts represented in the dictionary include:
vulgar, familiar, colloquial, formal and traditional words and
expressions; examples drawn from modem poetry, modem and traditional
song (an area that attracts many learners to the language), proverbs
and sayings and, occasionally, placenames; the more common vocabulary
of administration, politics and government, journalism and information
technology also figures here.
The Essential English-Gaelic (Scottish) Dictionary:
This volume complements the same compiler's Essential Gaelic-English Dictionary,
published by Birlinn in 2001. The intention has been to make available,
in a format that is pleasant to handle, a generous proportion of
"essential" or core Gaelic. For this reason much of the material given
is common to the two volumes, and can thus be accessed from the
starting point of either English or Gaelic.
