The Grouchy Grammarian: A How-Not-To Guide to the 47 Most Common Mistakes in English (repost)

  • Thomas Parrish, "The Grouchy Grammarian: A How-Not-To Guide to the 47 Most Common Mistakes in English Made by Journalists, Broadcasters, and Others Who Should Know Better"
  • Wiley | 2002 | ISBN: 0471223832 | 192 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
  • Do you commit apostrophe atrocities?
  • Are you tormented by the lie/lay conundrum?
  • Do you find yourself stuck between floaters and danglers?
  • Do your subjects and your verbs refuse to agree?
  • If so, you’re not alone. Some of the most prominent professionals in TV broadcasting and at major newspapers and magazines–people who really should know better–are guilty of making all-too-common grammatical errors. In this delightfully amusing, clever guide, Thomas Parrish points out real-life grammar gaffes from top-notch publications such as the New York Times and the New Yorker to illustrate just how widespread these errors are. With red pen in hand, Parrish’s fictional friend the Grouchy Grammarian leads the charge, examining the forty-seven most common mistakes in English and imparting the basics of good grammar with a charming mixture of fussiness and common sense. All of which makes The Grouchy Grammarian the most entertaining, accessible how-not-to guide you’ll ever read.

Jean Starobinski, The Living Eye

  • Jean Starobinski, The Living Eye
  • Harvard UP | 1989 | ISBN 0674536649 | 262 Pages | PDF OCR | 6.2 MB
  • This recent addition to the Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature appeared first in French in 1961 (L'Oeil Vivant).
  • Jean Starobinski, a major critic in Europe and this country, has written for this translation a brief preface in which he traces the history of his interest in the opposition between appearance and reality in literary texts. Arthur Goldhammer helps in his excellent translation to clarify the many metaphysical discussions.
  • For Starobinski the critic is the man richly endowed for under standing himself but who gives himself over to the task of understanding something outside of himself. This is his function, this is his urgency. He must seek to establish an almost inconceivable relationship with something foreign to himself.

S. Brent Plate, David Jasper - Imag(in)ing Otherness: Filmic Visions of Living Together

  • S. Brent Plate, David Jasper - Imag(in)ing Otherness: Filmic Visions of Living Together
  • Publisher: An American Academy of Religion Book | 1999-01-02 | ISBN: 0788505939 | PDF | 240 pages | 15.26 MB
  • Imag(in)ing Otherness explores relationships between film and religion, aesthetics and ethics. The volume examines these relationships by viewing how otherness is imaged in film and how otherness alternately might be imagined. Drawing from a variety of films from differing religious perspectives--including Chan Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American religions, Christianity, and Judaism--the essays gathered in this volume examine the particular problems of "living together" when faced with the tensions brought out through the otherness of differing sexualities, ethnicities, genders, religions, cultures, and families.

Hot Topics 1 (with Audio CD)

  • Cheryl Pavlik, "Hot Topics 1 (with Audio CD)"
  • Heinle & Heinle Publishers | 2005 | ISBN: 1413007023 | 191 pages, Audio CD | PDF, mp3 | 21 + 55 MB
  • HOT Topics is a three-level reading discussion series written for inquisitive, mature students of English language learners. Each chapter contains several high-interest readings on a specific controversial and thought-provoking topic.
  • In the 30 years that I have been in English language training CELT), I have despaired of the lack of stimulating reading texts, accompanied by activities written specifically to energize and inspire the mature English learner. Why aren't many ESL reading texts sufficient? Although ESL learners may not yet have mastered English syntax, they still have interests beyond the mundane, and they certainly have ample reasoning ability. And while many reading texts are written about subjects of broad appeal, virtually all of them avoid topics that are deemed "too controversial" for the classroom setting. Unfortunately, many of those neglected topics are of great interest and relevance to adult lives. By steering course themes away from controversy, the instrucror also steers students away from motivating and stimulating topics.

The Writing Template Book: The MICHIGAN Guide to Writing Well and Success on High-Stakes Tests {Repost}

  • The Writing Template Book: The MICHIGAN Guide to Writing Well and Success on High-Stakes Tests
  • Publisher: University of Michigan Press/ESL | ISBN: 0472031937 | edition 2006 | PDF | 106 pages | 10,4 mb
  • The Writing Template Book is a practical how-to guide for academic writers. Because good writers automatically develop their own internal writing templates that impose clarity and structure on their material, this text provides template examples to help less experienced writers produce the reliable, replicable syntax that is essential to good writing. The Writing Template Book provides numerous examples and practice exercises on writing summaries, thesis sentences, introductions, conclusions, and the bodies of typical essays and papers.
  • Templates are an effective tool for improving performance on standardized tests like the TOEFL and the SAT. Writing templates can enhance students’ scores on standardized tests by providing them with a structure that conforms to grading criteria. Students who are able to apply even a portion of the template to their essays will perform at a higher level than if they had not used templates.

Language Matters: A Guide to Everyday Questions About Language,2 EdLanguage Matters: A Guide to Everyday Questions About Language,2 Ed

  • Donna Jo Napoli , Vera Lee-Schoenfeld, "Language Matters: A Guide to Everyday Questions About Language,2 Ed"
  • Oxford University Press, USA | 2010 | ISBN: 0199735719 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
  • Is Ebonics really a dialect or simply bad English? Do women and men speak differently? Will computers ever really learn human language? Does offensive language harm children? These are only a few of the issues surrounding language that crop up every day. Most of us have very definite opinions on these questions one way or another. Yet as linguists Donna Jo Napoli and Vera Lee-Schoenfeld point out in this short and thoroughly readable volume, many of our most deeply held ideas about the nature of language and its role in our lives are either misconceived or influenced by myths and stereotypes.
  • Language Matters provides a highly informative tour of the world of language, examining these and other vexing and controversial language-related questions. Throughout, Napoli and Lee-Schoenfeld encourage and lead the reader to use common-sense and everyday experience rather than preconceived notions or technical linguistic expertise. Both their questions and their conclusions are surprising, sometimes provocative, and always entertaining.
  • This thoroughly revised second edition updates the book with a new co-author, and includes new chapters on language and power, language extinction, and what it is linguists actually do. Language Matters is sure to engage both general readers and students of language and linguistics at any level.
