Escape from Prison
Escape From Prison is a composition of sounds, feelings, illustrations and rhythms exuding from real life stories, moments of introspection, reflections on the identity of prisoners, the remote causes of loss of freedom, and instances of escapades into a reverie of an ideal, yet attainable world wherein a peaceful mind finds more harmony in nature than in an exacting and artificial society with mediocre standards. The scenes created are a mélange of current thoughts and events, interlaced with a flashback on past hurts, betrayals, and disappointments. By grappling with these issues, the writer aims to achieve some kind of panacea and mental release. Panic during an arrest scene by the New York police draws back the curtains. Then a window is opened to provide a glimpse of life under detention, lived and observed by a mind that delves beyond that which meets the eye. There are pauses for relaxation, as well as to exhort others in more dire circumstances. As if in an ensemble, after critiquing traditions and systems that defy logic, it ends with a performance, creating room for optimism.
Essays on Language Function and Language Type
In their subject matter and in their theoretical orientation all the papers in this volume reflect the powerful influence of T. Givón. Most of them deal with questions of morphosyntactic typology, pragmatics, and grammaticalization theory. Many of them are directly based on extensive fieldwork on local languages of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Others are based on statistical analyses of extensive written and spoken corpora of texts.
A Star Out of Prison
A Star Out of Prison is an unusual poetry collection featuring a personal life story. You will sigh, cry, wonder, laugh, contemplate, and experience the tussle between imprisonment and freedom, victimization and triumph, etc. It portrays the power of constructive freedom of expression in unlocking the ability and creating room to regain ones self-worth, whether behind bars or under oppression.
Information Extraction
Information extraction (IE) is a new technology enabling relevant content to be extracted from textual information available electronically. IE essentially builds on natural language processing and computational linguistics, but it is also closely related to the well established area of information retrieval and involves learning. In concert with other promising intelligent information processing technologies like data mining, intelligent data analysis, text summarization, and information agents, IE plays a crucial role in dealing with the vast amounts of information accessible electronically, for example from the Internet. The book is based on the Second International School on Information Extraction, SCIE-99, held in Frascati near Rome, Italy in June/July 1999.

The Languages of the Kimberley, Western Australia
The Kimberley, the far north-west of Australia, is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the continent. Some fifty-five Aboriginal languages belonging to five different families are spoken within its borders. Few of these languages are currently being passed on to children, most of whom speak Kriol (a new language that arose about half a century ago from an earlier Pidgin English) or Aboriginal English (a dialect of English) as their mother tongue and usual language of communication. This book describes the Aboriginal languages spoken today and in the recent past in this region.
