Detritus: Memories I found with the dust under the carpet.

A girl growing up in the depression years and war-torn Britain might have expected a dull life, but Jean always had other ideas. Her dread of "the same old things" and dreams of travel and adventure led her to escape the restrictions of post-war rationing by emigrating to Australia and then on to New Zealand. There she has led a rich and colourful life. Unable to find a suitable job, she opened her own retail fashion business, while raising a small family, (both human and animals who thought they were) and being active in an amateur theatre group; later developing a vineyard, sailing the Marlborough Sounds, and travelling extensively across the globe. In later years she became actively involved in painting, writing and publishing, and enjoying her flourishing garden.

Escape to Last Man Peak

Escape to Last Man Peak

Jean D'Costa

Hodder Education
2021
nidottu
There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society.Sunrise Orphanage is a happy place until the great sickness comes to the country, when the ten orphan children are left to fend for themselves. Normal life breaks down, and people do what they can to survive. Threatened with being taken to a labour camp, the children's only alternative is a perilous journey across the island. Sanctuary awaits them at Last Man Peak, but will they be able to reach it? Unforeseen danger waits at every turn. No one can be trusted. The arduous trek would be challenging enough even without the need to avoid capture - capture which would mean the labour camp, or possibly something much worse. The journey, with only their wits and courage to help them, will change their lives for ever.Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.

Over Our Way

Over Our Way

Hodder Education

There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society.Over our way lies a world of flame trees and hot beaches rimmed with hills, of raucous laughter in the market and shouts in the street, of bare feet running down dusty lanes and across burnt savannahs, splashing beside the boats of fishermen or inching up the ringed bark of coconut trees. A long way, full of laughing, weeping, blessing, cursing, explaining, quarrelling, accusing and lamenting.We cannot see the beginnings or ends of our way, but we can tell some of the stories of what happens over our way: stories which we alone can tell, stories about our friendships, our lonelinesses, our games, our crimes, our sorrows and joys, our triumphs and dreams.Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.

Choosing Your Words

Choosing Your Words

Jean A Costa

Affirmation Press
2020
pokkari
This book reflects the author's wholehearted belief that what we choose to say to ourselves and about ourselves affects every aspect of our being, all the way to our cellular structure. When we choose those words and phrases that nurture and empower us, our whole being responds to them.We are all talking to ourselves and each other all the time; sometimes it's an inner dialogue and other times it's out loud. With just a little effort we can start carefully choosing the worlds we use. In fact, it's probably easier to shape the words we use to describe events and others than it is to shape those we use for ourselves. We can be our own worst enemies. Included is a long list of negative self-talk phrases, things people say to themselves or perhaps read somewhere. For example: "I am so stupid I am such a klutz I never seem to get it right. I just can't make any friends. I never have enough money, time, energy, etc. My right leg, arm, hip, etc. is my bad one." The list compiled here has about one hundred negative phrases. Two others that don't sound negative but have that effect are, "I am right " and "I can do that better." Those two statements may be true, but most people don't want to be around someone who has all the answers and who will willingly tell them how to do something better, even if they've been asked.

Caribbean Literary Discourse

Caribbean Literary Discourse

Barbara Lalla; Jean D'Costa; Velma Pollard

The University of Alabama Press
2014
sidottu
Caribbean Literary Discourse is a study of the multicultural, multilingual, and Creolised languages that characterise Caribbean discourse, especially as reflected in the language choices that preoccupy creative writers.Caribbean Literary Discourse opens the challenging world of language choices and literary experiments characteristic of the multicultural and multilingual Caribbean. In these societies, the language of the master— English in Jamaica and Barbados—overlies the Creole languages of the majority. As literary critics and as creative writers, Barbara Lalla, Jean D’Costa, and Velma Pollard engage historical, linguistic, and literary perspectives to investigate the literature bred by this complex history. They trace the rise of local languages and literatures within the English speaking Caribbean, especially as reflected in the language choices of creative writers.The study engages two problems: first, the historical reality that standard metropolitan English established by British colonialists dominates official economic, cultural, and political affairs in these former colonies, contesting the development of vernacular, Creole, and pidgin dialects even among the region’s indigenous population; and second, the fact that literary discourse developed under such conditions has received scant attention.Caribbean Literary Discourse explores the language choices that preoccupy creative writers in whose work vernacular discourse displays its multiplicity of origins, its elusive boundaries, and its most vexing issues. The authors address the degree to which language choice highlights political loyalties and tensions; the politics of identity, self-representation, and nationalism; the implications of code-switching—the ability to alternate deliberately between different languages, accents, or dialects—for identity in postcolonial society; the rich rhetorical and literary effects enabled by code-switching and the difficulties of acknowledging or teaching those ranges in traditional education systems; the longstanding interplay between oral and scribal culture; and the predominance of intertextuality in postcolonial and diasporic literature.

'An important addition to studies of the genesis and life of Jamaican Creole as well as other New World creoles such as Gulla. Highlighting the nature of the nonstandard varieties of British English dialects to which the African slaves were exposed, this work presents a refreshingly cogent view of Jamaican Creole features.' --SECOL Review 'The history of Jamaican Creole comes to life through this book. Scholars will analyze its texts, follow the leads it opens up, and argue about refining its interpretations for a long time to come.' --Journal of Pidgin & Creole Languages 'The authors are to be congratulated on this substantial contribution to our understanding of how Jamaican Creole developed. Its value lies not only in the linguistic insights of the authors but also in the rich trove of texts that they have made accessible.' --English World-Wide 'Provides valuable historical and demographic data and sheds light on the origins and development of Jamaican Creole. Lalla and D'Costa offer interesting insights into Creole genesis, not only through their careful mapping of the migrations from Europe and Africa, which constructed the Jamaican society but also through extensive documentation of early texts. . . . Highly valuable to linguists, historians, anthropologists, psychologists, and anyone interested in the Caribbean or in the history of mankind.' --New West Indian Guide

A dimens o de um l xico, que pode ser muito vari vel, depende dos dom nios de conhecimento ou das t cnicas que ele exprime.

A sem ntica um ramo da lingu stica que estuda os significados. Envolve um conjunto de processos que contribuem para a constru o do significado na comunica o, e na l ngua em particular.
