Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of a speaker's or writer's evidence for an asserted proposition, has begun to receive serious attention from linguists only in the last quarter century. Much of this attention has focused on languages that encode evidentiality in the grammar, while much less interest has been shown in languages that express evidentiality through means other than inflectional morphology. In English and German, for instance, the verbs of perception - those verbs denoting sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste - are prime carriers of evidential meaning. This study surveys the most prominent of the perception verbs in English and German across all five sensory modalities and accounts for the range of evidential meanings by examining the general polysemy found among perception verbs, as well as the specific complementation patterns in which these verbs occur.…

Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. 184 p. Illustrations. Foreword by Charles Kuralt. The moving, true story of three sisters who were placed in an orphanage (Thompson Orphanage in Charlotte, NC) and foster homes after the death of their mother in the 1930s. "On the death of their mother, the three little girls--at ages five, six, and almost eight--are taken from their father to become wards of the state. With the cardboard suitcases given them by the social worker, they are moved from Catholic Home to orphanage to foster homes, waiting for their father to come and claim them. But they realize at last this will not happen and the hope that had sustained them turns to grief and anger. Betty, the oldest, is their uncomplaining leader. Carolyn is the youngest, tiny and doll-like. Anne is the middle sister, striking out whenever she thinks that she or the others have been wronged. It is Anne who tells the story. The suitcases are the anchors in their lives.The story moves in time, not distance, from the Depression through the 1940 war years, into and beyond the 1960s. The locale is the North Carolina Piedmont and later the mountains of the Blue Ridge. " Very good in good dust jacket. Inscribed by the author. Small edge tears to DJ, and large tears at DJ flaps.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Investigating the history of a language depends on fragmentary sources, but electronic corpora offer the possibility of alleviating the problem of 'bad data'. But they cannot overcome it totally, and questions arise of the optimal architecture for a corpus and its representativeness of actual language use, and how a historical corpus can best be annotated to maximize its usefulness. Immense strides have been made in recent years in addressing these questions, with exciting new methods and technological advances. The papers in this volume, which were presented at a conference on New Methods in Historical Corpora (Manchester 2011), exemplify the wide range of these recent developments.…

Inscription reads "For Kay Titus--All good Wishes. Anne Hall Whitt." DJ is price clipped. Minor bend to title page. Includes Foreword by Charles Kuralt, who had a role in the story unknown to him at the time. Illustrations by Richard Thompson, the author's son. Preface by the author. Having lived the orphan life described in The Suitcases, her home and family count most with Anne Hall Whitt. Raising her two sons has been her first concern, but with time available at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where her husband was an administrator. Now that her children are grown, she can disappear into the gardening and needle work she loves. She can also speak out, as she does in this book and will do in other writings, on the injustices done to children, who have so little defense against these wrongs. On the death of their mother, the three little girls--at ages five, six, and almost eight--are taken from their father to become wards of the state. With the cardboard suitcases given them by the social worker, they are moved from Catholic Home to orphanage to foster homes, waiting for their father to come and claim them. But they realize at last this will not happen and the hope that had sustained them turns to grief and anger. Betty, the oldest, is their uncomplaining leader. Carolyn is the youngest, tiny and doll-like. Ann is the middle sister, striking out whenever she thinks or the others have been wronged. It is Anne who tells the story. Anne Whitt Thompson was an advocate for foster children and orphans who wrote about her own experience as an abandoned child in the 1983 book "The Suitcases." Mrs. Thompson's book was published under her maiden name, Anne Hall Whitt. A condensed version was distributed by Reader's Digest in 21 countries. It was recorded in English and French by the Library of Congress. It told of the lives of Mrs. Thompson and her two sisters as they were moved about as young children in orphanages and foster homes in North Carolina, after the death of their mother and abandonment by their father. As an adult, Mrs. Thompson served on the Maryland foster care review board, and she was a trustee of North Carolina's Crossnore School, an orphanage where she had once lived. As an advocate for children, she supported the concept of well-supervised group homes over loosely supervised foster care. In 1990, she initiated an informal 'bring back the orphanage' campaign that helped focus national attention on problems in foster care. Derived from a Kirkus review: Plain as pigtails and inescapably moving is this account of the piteous childhood of the author and her two sisters--whose anxious route through orphanages and foster homes did, at last, have a happy conclusion. Mother had died in 1936 when Betty was almost eight, Anne six, and Carolyn four. Anne remembers Father before Mother's death, reciting Scottish poetry and singing "Annie Laurie." Then Father, "now in his own world," kept them in the house--where amid the curious silence of neighboring relatives, the "woman in the black suit" knocked on the door. She would arrange for them to be "wards of the state". The bewildered children stayed two months at a Catholic home where the dour routine and discipline gave them some sense of security. But day after day, while Betty was at school, Anne and Carolyn sat on top of the playground slide and "watched for our father." Surely he would come. The next place they tugged their state-issued suitcases to was the Thompson Orphanage, which had toys, outdoor games, even friends. But friends disappeared mysteriously into adoption, so Anne checked suitcases under the beds to make sure a sister hadn't been taken away. Once, in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy, she did see her father--he gave her a red balloon, which she put in her suitcase with the two walnuts and a picture of a Sonja Henie doll. There were other moves, other short stays--including six months of horro. Richard Thompson (illustrator).…
