Buddy, Here's the Deal
Clyde Guild, Guild to all who knew him beyond a quick “nice-to-meetcha”, spent most of his life as a cultural vagabond, hitching through life, rarely solvent, always happy. Until, a simple foray into the strange world of the software start-up, with the express purpose of acquiring sufficient funds to retire early, led him on a ride from which he may never recover. May this book be a warning to all—and a few laughs for most....a terrible piece of fiction that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I could not put it down. ?The author's mother.
The Expression of Possession
This collection of nine original articles deals with the expression of possession at various levels of grammar, morphological, phrasal, and syntactic, and from a typologically diverse range of languages (including Germanic, Oceanic, Meso-American, and Australian Aboriginal). There are two main aims. The first is to reveal something of the range of constructions employed cross-linguistically in the expression of possession, and second, to present an understanding of the possessive relation itself as a cognitive and linguistic phenomenon. A guiding principle in the selection of contributors has been to invite linguists whose research, while not necessarily directly dealing with possession, touches on it, and indicates that they are likely to provide fresh perspectives on this well-trodden field. Key features: William McGregor is a well known expert in this fíeld of research Possession is a paradigm for studies on typology, ethnology etc., because a multitude of linguistic and cultural varieties are reflected in this field new series textbook
