Grammatical Sketches by the Institute of African Studies (now the Institute of Economic and Social Research) in 1977, this is the first in a series of publications on Zambian languages and grammar. The intention of the series is to boost the meagre scholarship and availability of educational materials on Zambian languages, which became particularly in urgent in 1996, following the decision of the Zambian government to revert to the policy of using local languages as a media of instruction. This volume provides a grammatical sketch of Icibemba - known in English as Bemba or Chibemba - the most widely spoken local language in Zambia. Bemba is the principal language of the Northern and Luapula provinces of Zambia, and extending into the Shaba Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is the common language of the Copperbelt region. The study includes sections on sounds, nominals, verbs and tenses, further kinds of words, and sentence patterns.

Across disciplines, scholars have employed theories of precarity to help explain the pervasiveness of problems related to labor, migration, biopolitics, global and state governance, economies of war and violence, poverty, environmental degradation, and a host of other pressing issues. ,Precarous Rhetorics ,is the first work to bring precarity studies to the field of rhetoric and communication-and to couple it with new materialist frameworks-in order to unearth and analyze the material conditions and structuring logics of inequality. This collection features cross-disciplinary contributions from leading scholars, including the editors of the volume as well as James J. Brown Jr., Gale Coskan-Johnson, Ronald Greene, Lavinia Hirsu, Arabella Lyon, Louis Maraj, Sara McKinnon, Alexandra Schultheis Moore, Kimberlee Perez, Margaret Price, Amy Shuman, Kristin Swenson, Becca Tarsa, and Belinda Walzer. Chapters emphasize a materialist-rhetorical approach while also drawing on feminist studies, women of color feminisms, affect studies, critical disability studies, critical race and ethnic studies, medical humanities, sexuality studies, queer migration studies, and human rights and humanitarian studies. While theoretically rich, this volume intentionally features chapters that explore precarious rhetorics as they operate ,in practice-whether in borderlands, politics, public policy, or the quotidian spaces of human activity, such as school, work, social media, and medicine.  ,_,

Swahili for Foreigners has been developed to help the non-native speaker learn the language systematically and with minimal teacher assistance.

The authors approach is structured and grammatical, though as a native speaker with much experience of teaching Swahili to foreign diplomats and experts in Eastern and parts of Central Africa, she is also keen to communicate her enthusiasm for the Swahili language, its significance in and for Africa._,

Excerpt from Leben und Wirken des Herzoglich Braunschweigschen General-Lieutenants Friedrich Adolph Riedesel, Freiherrn zu Ostenbach, Vol. 3

Fake news, alternative facts, post truth-terms all too familiar to anyone in U.S. political culture and concepts at the core of Dana L. Clouds new book, ,Reality Bites, ,which ,explores truth claims in contemporary political rhetoric in the face of widespread skepticism regarding the utility, ethics, and viability of an empirical standard for political truths. Cloud observes how appeals to truth often assume-mistakenly-that it is a matter of simple representation of facts. However, since neither fact-checking nor truthiness can respond meaningfully to this problem, she argues for a ,rhetorical realism-the idea that communicators can bring knowledge from particular perspectives and experiences into the domain of common sense.  ,  , Through a series of case studies-including the PolitiFact fact-checking project, the Planned Parenthood selling baby parts scandal, the Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden cases, Neil DeGrasse Tysons ,Cosmos, the rhetoric of Thomas Paine and the American Revolution, and the Black Lives Matter movement-Cloud advocates for the usefulness of ,narrative, myth, embodiment, affect, ,and ,spectacle ,in creating accountability in contemporary U.S. political rhetoric. If dominant reality bites-in being oppressive and exploitative-it is time, Cloud argues, for those in the reality-based community to bite back._,

This fully annotated Latin edition, by Daniel H. Garrison, of Horace&rsquo,s Epodes, Odes, and Carmen Saeculare is the first comprehensive English commentary on these works since 1903. The full text of the Epodes is included and placed before the Odes, as it was originally written and published. Garrison offers help with meter, vocabulary, and difficult points of grammar. For advanced students, he place Horace against the background of archaic and Hellenistic Greek poetry, demonstrates the poet&rsquo,s debt to Catullus, and illuminates Horace&rsquo,s relation to his contemporaries, particularly Virgil. Biographical information and a discussion of Horace&rsquo,s literary persona expand our view of the poet and his works. Appendices on meter, persons mentioned in the poems, and technical terminology provide what readers end to understand topical and mythological references, rhetorical conventions, and poetic artistry. ,_,

Excerpt from Die Wunder des Mikroskops, oder die Welt im Kleinsten Raume

Upper German, Franconian and East Middle German. This book restricts itself to Upper German between about 1200 and 1300. As well as a grammar and glossary, the primer provides texts from Berthold von Regensburg, the Swabian Lantrehtbuoch, Hartman von Ouwe, Walther von der Vogelweide, Reinmar, Ulrich von Lichtenstein, Das Niebelungenlied and Wolfram von Eschenbach. Joseph Wright (1855-1930) started work at the age of six as a donkey-boy in the local stone quarry. The next year he went to work in a woolen mill. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Wright tired of relying on his literate workmates for news and taught himself to read. Soon he was attending night school, and he later started his own night school, the money from which supported his study of Mathematics and German at the University of Heidelberg. After further studies at London, Heidelberg and Leipzig, he became a lecturer at Oxford, and eventually Professor of Comparative Philology. Among his many books was the English Dialect Dictionary.
