Understanding Cultures through Their Key Words


Book Description

This book develops the dual themes that languages can differ widely in their vocabularies, and are also sensitive indices to the cultures to which they belong. Wierzbicka seeks to demonstrate that every language has "key concepts," expressed in "key words," which reflect the core values of a given culture. She shows that cultures can be revealingly studied, compared, and explained to outsiders through their key concepts, and that the analytical framework necessary for this purpose is provided by the "natural semantic metalanguage," based on lexical universals, that the author and colleagues have developed on the basis of wide-ranging cross-linguistic investigations. Appealing to anthropologists, psychologists, and philosophers as well as linguists, this book demonstrates that cultural patterns can be studied in a verifiable, rigorous, and non-speculative way, on the basis of empirical evidence and in a coherent theoretical framework.

Understanding Word and Sentence


Book Description

Research concerning structure and processing in the mental lexicon has achieved central prominence within cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics. Historically, however, much of the research on the lexicon focussed not on its role in language comprehension, but as a medium for studying semantic memory. This picture has changed in recent years, with much more research examining the role of lexical processes and output in language comprehension. Gathered together in this volume is the work of some of those researchers who are responsible for this shift of emphasis. Chapters deal with the role of sentence contexts in word recognition, processes involved in the activation and enhancement of lexical information, and the interaction of lexical and syntactic information in sentence processing. A wide range of theoretical and empirical issues relating to language understanding are discussed.




Spiritual and Religious Education


Book Description

Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus


Book Description

Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus“This book will stir the pot of biblical scholarship for years to come. It will force many to rethink the origin of the Gospels and the Jewishness of Jesus.

The Book of Genesis: Understanding the Word In Simplicity


Book Description

The Book of Genesis, is a biblical commentary depicting stories of beginning, creativity, temptation, faith, trials, expedition, survival, and the love of God for mankind through His servants and their families. God created everything simply by declaration, and then they were so. Man was formed from the dust of the ground, in His image, but disobedience played a major role in the marring of God’s image after Man hearkened to the seducing words of that “subtil” serpent. From then on, sin began to dominate the lives of God’s children until He wiped almost everyone off the face of the entire planet. Yet God saw righteousness in one man and saved him and his family. Through them, the earth is repopulated, and God blesses one particular man to be the patriarch of His special people, which we know as the people “Israel." Thus, to understand the simplicity of God’s speech and every miraculous chains of events that occurred from the beginning of time, we must first realize what needs to be broken down in terms we can understand.




Understanding the F-word


Book Description

By offering a radical review of the last one hundred years of US history, this work is intended as a counterpoint to the rampant revisionism of the flurry of books glorifying the "American Century". Beginning with the rather bold and decidedly controversial assertion that the current political system in place in the United States at the dawn of the twenty-first century is fascism, the first part of this book attempts to justify that claim by first defining exactly what fascism is—correcting various widely-held misconceptions—and then analyzing how closely we as a nation conform to that definition. Also included is a review of some of the hidden history and key events of World War II. Part II offers a retrospective of the twentieth century American presidential administrations, to demonstrate that the steady and inexorable march towards overt fascism was a defining characteristic that remained unchanged. The final section looks at the still very much alive eugenics movement, and analyzes the role played by the psychiatric establishment in validating the fascist state. This book will surely find no shortage of detractors, but if read with an open mind, it just may change the way you view the world.
