    Lexington Books Metaphor, Riddles, and the Origin of Language:

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisScientific evidence for the origin of speech is abundant, but evidence for the origin of language as separate from speech as a naming system remains speculative. What evidence can be utilized that will furnish relevant insights on the origin or language? This book attempts to provide an answer by suggesting that the first riddles of humanity, along with the first myths, reveal that language may have emerged as a mode of reflection via metaphor—a mode that involves blending speech forms together to produce complex, abstract cognition.Trade ReviewMarcel Danesi is a master of weaving different disciplinary threads, from linguistics to history and psychology. His book, that creatively links metaphors, riddles, and the origin and development of language, is a clear expression of this talent. -- Yair Neuman, Ben Gurion University of the NegevThis is an extremely thoughtful and provocative book which attempts a very different answer to the question of the origins of language. Language is a system that allows us to think and reflect on the world as well as a system designed for cooperative social action. It is this cooperative social action as the basis for coordinated hunting, and ultimately social learning, that is customarily highlighted in evolutionary accounts. Danesi turns things on their head, recognizing the importance of metaphor in human cognition and then focusing on riddles, like the Riddle of the Sphinx, perhaps one of the earliest riddles, as a form of social action and as a mechanism for highlighting and cementing the role of metaphor in thinking and consciousness. This is a highly original book, scholarly, thoughtful and at times brilliant—highly readable and provocative (in the best possible way) throughout. -- Geoffrey Beattie, Edge Hill UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1: Riddles and LanguageChapter 2: Riddle FunctionsChapter 3: Poetic LogicChapter 4: Riddles and Conceptual MetaphorsChapter 5: Language Origins

    Ad Lib Publishers Ltd 1001 One-Liners

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisShort, quick-fire jokes have been popular for centuries. Indeed the world’s oldest surviving joke book, the Philogelos, which was written in Ancient Greek, contains this classic doctor joke: Patient: “Doctor! When I wake up I’m all dizzy. Then after half an hour I feel fine.” Doctor: “Well, wait half an hour before waking up.” Meanwhile in Rome, they had a gag for every occasion, from senate orations and lavish feasts to throwing Christians to the lions. A Cicero stand-up gig was the hottest ticket in town. Shakespeare readily slipped one-liners into his comedies, while medieval jesters used pithy quips to amuse the royal court, well aware that if the joke backfired and somehow offended the monarch, their next audience might be with the executioner. “Dying on stage” carried a more sinister meaning for comedians in those days. It’s not hard to see why one-liners remain in vogue with today’s comedians. They are easy to remember, quick to deliver and if one gag dies on its feet, the next is waiting in the wings, hopefully to a better reception. Here is a compilation of the best one-liners around – a heady mix of old and new favourites, Dad jokes, thoughtful musings, corny puns and witty observations, covering a vast range of topics from Families to Fish, Money to Music, Relationships to Religion and Technology to Travel. They can be used to brighten up business conferences where the delegates are as tired as the sandwiches; dinner parties where the conversation is threatening to slide into a discussion about spreadsheets; seemingly interminable Zoom calls; and, of course, speeches at weddings that are so emotional that even the cake is in tiers.

    Book SynopsisIf there's one thing that sets Weegies apart, it's our sense of humour. Come crisis time, we not only laugh in the face of danger, but we spit on its shadow, follow it around, and occasionally set about it. Take John Smeaton, the baggage handler who clobbered the Glasgow Airport terrorists. He showed the kind of heroism, down-to-earth decency and self-deprecating humour that we all aspire to, and it turned him into an instant worldwide icon. Mere houses after he'd banjoed the terrorists the jokes started. Some of them are in here. "This is Glasgow. We'll set about ye." Got the t-shirt yet? Bin Laden's got one. And he's not coming back, at least not on John's shift. As well as paying homage to El Smeato, The Almost Completely Ultimate Weegie Jokebook is a collection of stories, jokes and anecdotes about the things that make us laugh - ourselves mostly.

He was trying to pull a fast one. Black holes. I don't know what people see in them. So I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, 'Nearest the bull goes first.'

Because as Maurice Chevalier said, 'Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.' This is a joke book specifically designed for oldies, so look out you young whippersnappers – you probably won't get half of them! Table of ContentsIt's all in here: funny jokes, gags and one-liners about life, love, the universe, and Viagra. Coffin-dodgers will find lots of laughs, inspiration and 'Yes, that's me!' moments as they chuckle their false teeth out!
