Whales, Candlelight, and Stuff Like That

Whales, Candlelight, and Stuff Like That

Maryann Overstreet

Oxford University Press Inc
2000
sidottu
This innovative work provides the first comprehensive account of general extenders ("or something", "and stuff", "or whatever"). Combining insights from linguistics, cognitive psychology, and interactional sociolinguistics, the author demonstrates that these small phrases are not simply vague expressions, but have a powerful role in making interpersonal communication work. The audience for this book includes linguists, scholars of English, teachers of English as a first and a second language, sociolinguists, psycholinguists, and communications researchers.

Puzzlings: Brain Training with Language Puzzles

Puzzlings: Brain Training with Language Puzzles

nidottu
Puzzlings ("little linguistic puzzles") are word games using examples from a hundred and one different languages. They are exercises for the mind that will help improve analytic skills and develop problem-solving strategies. These puzzles will make you smarter. On each page of the book you will find examples from different languages, with English translations, arranged in order to create a puzzle. The answers to each part of the puzzle are provided in lists on the same page. You just have to decide which answers go in the blanks. Correct solutions are provided in the back of the book. We have tried to divide the puzzles into groups that we think will be least difficult (Level 1) through to those that seem most challenging (Level 5). Within each level, the source languages are simply listed and the puzzles can be done in any order.

General Extenders

General Extenders

Maryann Overstreet; George Yule

Cambridge University Press
2021
sidottu
General extenders are phrases like 'or something', 'and everything', 'and things (like that)', 'and stuff (like that)', and 'and so on'. Although they are an everyday feature of spoken language, are crucial in successful interpersonal communication, and have multiple functions in discourse, they have so far gone virtually unnoticed in linguistics. This pioneering work provides a comprehensive description of this new linguistic category. It offers new insights into ongoing changes in contemporary English, the effect of grammaticalization, novel uses as associative plural markers and indicators of intertextuality, and the metapragmatic role of extenders in interaction. The forms and functions of general extenders are presented clearly and accessibly, enabling students to understand a number of different frameworks of analysis in discourse-pragmatic studies. From an applied perspective, the book presents a description of translation equivalents, an analysis of second language variation, and practical exercises for teaching second language learners of English.

The pleasing warmth of fresh-baked maple cookies...the sweet, buttery flakiness of a raspberry jam pastry. In 1913 Ohio, the Amish Charm Bakery is beloved by locals and visiting Englischer alike. And its understanding community always provides help, healing--and new chances for love... Secrets devastated Maryanne Harding's marriage to an Englischer--and took away her untrustworthy husband. Now the young Amish widow has found contentment cooking up treats at the bakery, raising her little girl, and comforting her ailing mother. And when Andrew Wittmer asks her to marry him, Maryanne is over the moon with happiness that she and the kind furniture maker will put down roots in her hometown... Until Andrew's uncle becomes ill, and Andrew must permanently take over his store in a town hours away. Though she would go anywhere to be Andrew's fraa, Maryanne can't abandon her mother--or the family that depends on her so much. And when she discovers Andrew harbors secrets of his own, Maryanne's hard-won trust is shaken. Now, can she risk difficult choices and take a leap of faith into the loving, joyful future she longs for most?
