Number


Book Description

Number is the most underestimated of the grammatical categories. It is deceptively simple yet the number system which philosophers, logicians and many linguists take as the norm - namely the distinction between singular and plural (as in cat versus cats) - is only one of a wide range of possibilities to be found in languages around the world. Some languages, for instance, make more distinctions than English, having three, four or even five different values. Adopting a wide-ranging perspective, Greville Corbett draws on examples from many languages to analyse the possible systems of number. He reveals that the means for signalling number are remarkably varied and are put to a surprising range of special additional uses. By surveying some of the riches of the world s linguistic resources this book makes a major contribution to the typology of categories and demonstrates that languages are much more varied than is generally recognised.




Not Enough to Count


Book Description

This book will take you through familiar life experiences. Back to that moment when you were at your lowest & no one was there. Through broken promises, lies, gossip, losses, etc. Just when you thought you had a grip on life, you were hit with another devastating blow. For every two steps forward, there were four taken back. Questioning God's plan. Asking yourself is it worth it. If only you could catch a break. Then you realize, the help you sought was there all along. In silence is when you can hear the loudest. The moment you take responsibility for everything in your life is when you can change anything in your life. Doing nothing to avoid making a mistake, is a mistake in itself. Be willing to lose connection with everything that creates noise in your life to regain & maintain your peace. Life is about change. However, growth is optional. Don't be the person that avoids it by saying, " that's just how I am". Everyday brings about another opportunity to do and be better. Embrace it!
