The Language of History in the Renaissance

The Language of History in the Renaissance

Nancy S. Struever

Princeton University Press
2016
sidottu
At any time, basic assumptions about language have a direct effect on the writing of history. The structure of language is related to the structure of knowledge and thus to the definition of historical reality, while linguistic competence gives insights into the relation of ideas and action. Within the framework of these ideas, and drawing on recent work in linguistic theory, including that of the French structuralists. Professor Struever studies the major shift in attitudes toward language and history which the Renaissance represents. One of the essential innovations of Renaissance Humanism is the substitution of rhetoric for dialectic as the dominant language discipline; rhetoric gives the Humanists their cohesion as a lay intellectual elite, as well as the force and direction of their thought. The author accepts the current trend in classical studies, the rehabilitation of the Sophists which finds its source in Nietzsche and includes the work of Rostagni, Untersteiner, and Buccellato, to reinstate rhetoric as the historical vehicle of Sophistic insight. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The Language of Light

Nancy Thomas

Fernwood Press
2024
pokkari
Nancy Thomas celebrates language-its sounds, grammar, quirks, and all that words can and can't do. In these poems, she plays with common figures of speech in the English language, celebrates relationships with peculiar people, and attempts to approach growing older with courage and humor. You'll want to smile, laugh, and sometimes groan. You may also find grace hiding in the silences between the words.

The Language of Love and Other Stories

The Language of Love and Other Stories

Nancy Christie

Unsolicited Press
2025
pokkari
The Language of Love and Other Stories is a diverse collection that delves into the many facets of love. From the tender bonds between parent and child ("Claire Juliana," "The Ferris Wheel") to the deep connections between adult children and their elderly relatives ("Mama," "Listen to Me," "Remember Mama"), the stories explore love in its many forms. Romantic love takes center stage in tales like "Charley and the Cupid Caper," "With Any Luck," "Bingo," "Henry, Hortense and the Halloween Party," "For the First Time-Again," and "Love Dancing." Some stories, such as "Doors and Windows," "The Message is Understood," "The Equation of Love," and the title story, "The Language of Love," examine the struggles love faces when tested by life's challenges.The collection also poignantly addresses love intertwined with grief and loss in stories like "Earth to Moon," "Goodbyes," "Seeing Jim," "Thinking About Melanie," and "Love Letters." Across 20 stories, the collection captures every stage of love, from the exhilarating beginnings to the quiet, routine phases, the uncertain times, and the heartbreaking endings-whether anticipated or shockingly sudden. It's a journey through whom we love, how we love, and how we cope when love is returned, unrequited, or lost.Praised as "a unique collection of short fiction about the various types of love that hits the sweet spot between quirky and heart-rending" (Dawn Reno Langley), "a tribute to the many forms of love" (Ann Henry), and "poignant, compelling, and clear-eyed" (Deborah Kalb), The Language of Love and Other Stories masterfully illustrates the complexity of love and its enduring power, even in the face of loss. Each story stands alone, yet together, they weave a rich tapestry of the ways love shapes our lives.

Languages in the International Perspective

Languages in the International Perspective

Nancy Schweda-Nicholson

Praeger Publishers Inc
1986
sidottu
This collection makes a significant contribution to international awareness and the promotion of intercultural understanding. Due to sophisticated advances in technology, the communication networks of the world are expanding at a rapid rate. Paradoxically, expansion has brought an information gap in international understanding that cannot be bridged by technology alone. Information often does not flow freely from one society to another creating isolation for many groups for reasons other than technological ones. These papers shed light on the linguistic, socioeconomic, and political reasons for this isolation. This book offers information to those specialists who are concerned with problems of language planning and related areas and brings us a step closer to the knowledge required for dealing with international communication problems.

Translating the Language of the Newborn: Explaining those first few days of life

Nancy Tuley McGinty

Waldenhouse Publishers, Inc.
2019
nidottu
Most babies have predictable behavior. Parents who have a head start with some advance knowledge of what to expect in their baby's first few days of life will have more confidence when they meet their baby. Babies and mothers change remarkably from day one, to day two, to day three. The goal of the lactation consultant who has written Translating the Language of the Newborn is to instill common sense care into the first three days of a baby's life outside the womb. Parents' questions on formula feeding, breastfeeding, lactation, latching on, burping, hunger signals, crying, sleep patterns, and more are answered from the newborn's perspective and in the voice of the baby. This little book is very short, easy to read, and is an excellent reference for any new mommy or daddy.

The folktales in this volume span the globe and are both educational and entertaining. Readers will enjoy following the adventures of the Laotian trickster XiengMieng, discovering the profound lesson in the Pashtun tale "The Walnut and the Pumpkin," and appreciating the frights inspired by Latin American ghost La Llorona.

Stories can be used for different levels, from beginning to high intermediate students. Regardless of the classroom, readers will discover newfound appreciation for human commonalities, and for intriguing cultural differences. "Small school students just enjoy reading these stories. Older university students found them philosophic and life true. As a teacher I was glad to find the variety of activities that Nancy offers. Thus, all are happy." - Urunsa, a teacher in Kyrgyzstan.

Retailing and the Language of Goods, 1550-1820

Retailing and the Language of Goods, 1550-1820

Nancy Cox

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
In this book the author explores the various meanings assigned to goods sold retail from 1550 to 1820 and how their labels were understood. The first half of the book focuses on these labels and on mercantile language more broadly; how it was used in trade and how lexicographers and others approached what, for them, were new vocabularies. In the second half, the author turns to the goods themselves, and their relationships with terms such as ’luxury’, ’choice’ and ’love’; terms that were used as descriptors in marketing goods. The language of objects is a subject of ongoing interest and the study of consumables opens up new ways of looking at the everyday language of the early modern period as well as the experiences of trade and consumption for both merchant and consumer.

Documentation and Reimbursement for Speech-Language Pathologists

Documentation and Reimbursement for Speech-Language Pathologists

Nancy Swigert

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
Although it is the least noticed by patients, effective documentation is one of the most critical skills that speech-language pathologists must learn. With that in mind, Documentation and Reimbursement for Speech-Language Pathologists: Principles and Practiceprovides a comprehensive guide to documentation, coding, and reimbursement across all work settings.The text begins with section 1 covering the importance of documentation and the basic rules, both ethical and legal, followed by an exploration of the various documentation forms and formats. Also included are tips on how to use electronic health records, as well as different coding systems for diagnosis and for procedures, with an emphasis on the link between coding, reimbursement, and the documentation to support reimbursement.Section 2 explains the importance of focusing on function in patient-centered care with the ICF as the conceptual model, then goes on to cover each of the types of services speech-language pathologists provide: evaluation, treatment planning, therapy, and discharge planning. Multiple examples of forms and formats are given for each.In section 3, Nancy Swigert and her expert team of contributors dedicate each chapter to a work setting in which speech-language pathologists might work, whether adult or pediatric, because each setting has its own set of documentation and reimbursement challenges. And since client documentation is not the only kind of writing done by speech-language pathologists, a separate chapter on “other professional writing” includes information on how to write correspondence, avoid common mistakes, and even prepare effective PowerPoint presentations.Each chapter in Documentation and Reimbursement for Speech-Language Pathologists contains activities to apply information learned in that chapter as well as review questions for students to test their knowledge. Customizable samples of many types of forms and reports are also available.Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.Documentation and Reimbursement for Speech-Language Pathologists: Principles and Practice is the perfect text for speech-language pathology students to learn these vital skills, but it will also provide clinical supervisors, new clinicians, and speech-language pathologists starting a private practice or managing a department with essential information about documentation, coding, and reimbursement.
