Blockley, Mary Eva
Aspects of Old English Poetic Syntax : Where Clauses Begin
Small quarto in maroon cloth, gilt titles; xii, 248 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm ; bibliographical references (pages 223-238) and index. Series: Illinois medieval Studies / Contents: 1. Questions in Prose and Verse -- 2. Phrasal Coordination and Apposition -- 3. Clausal Ond -- 4. Clause-Initial Adverbs and the "Ambiguous" Adverb/Conjunction -- 5. Clause-Initial Verbs and the Continuity of Reference -- 6. Uncontracted Negation as a Cue to Sentence Structure in Old English Verse -- 7. Perfecting the Old English Past. // "In Aspects of Old English Poetic Syntax, Mary Blockley uses modern linguistics to tackle the thorny problem of how to interpret a written language that relied neither on punctuation nor on capitalization to mark clause boundaries and subordination." "Distinguished by a remarkable combination of erudition and lucidity, Aspects of Old English Poetic Syntax provides new insight into the rules that govern syntactic relationships and indicates how these rules differ for prose and verse. Blockley considers the functions of four of the most common and most syntactically important words in Old English, as well as such features of clauses as verb-initial order, negative contraction, and unexpressed but understood subjects. Picking up where Bruce Mitchell's classic Old English Syntax left off, Blockley shows how such common words and structures mark the relationships between phrases and clauses." "Blockley also considers how the poetic tradition compensated for the loss in written texts of the syntactic functions served by intonation and inflection. Arguing that verse relied instead on a prescriptively regulated, unambiguous syntax, she suggests principles that promise more complex and subtle interpretations of familiar texts such as Beowelf as well as a wealth of other Old English writings."--Jacket. // English language -- Old English, ca. 450-1100 -- Syntax.

Katz, Dovid
Words on Fire: The Unfinished Story of Yiddish
Quarto in creme color illus jacket; xvi, 430 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm ; bibliographical references and index. "From its ancient roots in Hebrew and Aramaic, to its development as the common language of Jews in medieval Europe, and its blossoming as a language of literature, scholarship and a lively press in the nineteenth century, the story of Yiddish mirrors the history of the Jewish people in Europe and beyond. In Words on Fire, leading Yiddish scholar Dovid Katz recounts the sweeping history of this evocative and multifaceted language. Drawing on thirty years of research, Words on Fire traces the steps of a language once derided as "jargon" and identified with women and uneducated men from medieval times onward, and relates how efforts to raise its prestige were often met by opposition from the powers that be. Katz highlights the rise of literary Yiddish in the Renaissance-widely-read translations of knightly epic poems and guides for daily living-particularly by and for Jewish women. In the wake of secularizing and modernizing movements of the nineteenth century, Yiddish rose spectacularly in a few short years from a mass folk idiom to the language of sophisticated modern literature, theater, journalism, and scholarship." óPublisher. / Contents: Genesis -- The three languages of Ashkenaz -- Old Yiddish literature -- What should a lady read -- Yiddish and Kabbalah -- In the East -- Westernization and language -- New visions of Judaism -- The twentieth century -- In the twenty-first century -- The future of Yiddish. // Yiddish (Langue) -- Histoire.

Hein, Johannes
Verb Doubling and Dummy Verb: Gap Avoidance Strategies in Verbal Fronting
Quarto in orange paper-backed boards; xii, 509 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Series: Linguistische Arbeiten, Vol. 574. "This monograph provides the first cross-linguistic study of repair strategies in verbal fronting, verb doubling and do-support, addressing both typological properties and theoretical aspects. First, it brings together data hitherto scattered across the empirical and theoretical literature and adds newly collected data from two African languages. For each of the 47 languages, the properties of verbal fronting are documented in detail. Based on this sample, the empirical part establishes two novel typological generalizations regarding the interaction between the size of the fronted category and the type of repair strategy used. The first of these identifies a systematic typological gap: No language that allows both verb and verb phrase fronting has do-support with the former and verb doubling with the latter. In the theoretical part, it is shown that previous theories of verb doubling/do-support are unable to account for both generalizations. A new approach within the Copy Theory of the Minimalist Framework is developed, that rests on the interaction of head movement, copy deletion, and the properties of different movement types. The book thus provides the first comprehensive empirical and theoretical overview of repair patterns in verbal fronting." ó Publisher.

Thorne, Tony
Jolly Wicked, Actually: The 100 Words That Make Us English
"A wonderfully entertaining compendium of the hundred words and phrases that have over the last century become the cornerstones of modern spoken English, and have been used - sometimes deliberately, but often inadvertently - to stake out the common identity that unites the English, to define what makes us who we are, and thus different from those beastly foreigners who lurk just off our shores. Despite attempts by politicians and writers, despite lessons in citizenship enshrined in the national curriculum, we have famously never been able to define for posterity precisely what Englishness is.[It] takes certain well-loved and crucial expressions such as sorry, nice, common, posh, cuppa, and chippy, explores their strange and wonderful origins, and demonstrates with wit and charm how they are emblems of an era or an attitude, of a heritage and of the traits and quirks essential to all our notions of Englishness. 345p.

Bingo Boys And Poodle Fakers - A Curious Compendium Of Historical Slang Collected From The Best Authorities
Attaboys, Gorgers, Night-Hawks and Widos, the street argot of the past is every bit as colourful and irreverent as todays hip hop and bling. Slang has always aroused strong opinions, but whether you agree with Alan Bennett that there is something suspect about those in the vanguard of slang or with John Galsworthy that it is vigorous and apt, this fascinating new compendium unveils a wealth of information about the fads and peccadilloes of bygone days. What does it say, for instance, about the English that they once had over 100 terms for gin, including Stark Naked, Stinkious, and Wind? Always inventive, frequently hilarious and occasionally utterly outrageous slang is an exuberant celebration of the comic possibilities of everyday life. From Monday Mice to Marriage Music, Wiffle-Woffles to Bummaree, dip into the pages of Bingo Boys and Poodle-Fakers and discover the rough and rumbustious delights of Shakespeare's man of fire-new words, fashions own knight: the ever-changing underworld of the English language.117p. illus. decorated endpapers Book

Useful Basic Programs the for IBM PC (SYBEX micro guide)
VINTAGE The IBM Personal Computer Basic, commonly shortened to IBM BASIC, is a programming language first released by IBM with the IBM Personal Computer (model 5150) in 1981. IBM released four different versions of the Microsoft BASIC interpreter, licensed from Microsoft for the PC and PCjr. They are known as Cassette BASIC, Disk BASIC, Advanced BASIC (BASICA), and Cartridge BASIC. Versions of Disk BASIC and Advanced BASIC were included with IBM PC DOS up to PC DOS 4. In addition to the features of an ANSI standard BASIC, the IBM versions offered support for the graphics and sound hardware of the IBM PC line. Source code could be typed in with a full screen editor, and very limited facilities were provided for rudimentary program debugging. IBM also released a version of the Microsoft BASIC compiler for the PC, concurrently with the release of PC DOS 1.10 in 1982. This vintage handbook states : the programs in this book run with cassette BASIC or disk BASIC - you will need a disk for the programs in Chapter 6. 174p. Fine copy - almost "as new" Book
