Book SynopsisThe Routledge Intermediate Persian Course, second edition, is an intermediate level Persian textbook written specifically for English-speaking university students that incorporates the guidelines of the American Council of Teaching Foreign Languages and those of the Common European Framework of Reference in its tasks and activities.The diversity of the texts in this textbook helps to familiarize students with a range of literary genres and provides them with the necessary building blocks to continue reading on their own.One of the distinctive features of this book is its content-based and task-based approach to learning the language; all the material provided has been carefully selected to support and enhance a student-centred class environment. In addition, all the texts are real texts and excerpts extracted from books published in Iran.As with The Routledge Introductory Persian Course , all the texts in this volume are available online in the forTrade Review"This book offers engaging lessons designed to develop literacy and communicative competency in Persian at the intermediate level. The carefully selected themes and texts make the book especially appropriate for university classrooms while the extensive exercises included in each chapter encourage active, independent learning."Samad Alavi, University of Oslo, Norway"I have been using The Routledge Intermediate Persian Course: Farsi Shirin Ast, Book Two at my Intermediate Persian classes for a few years as it contains lessons on variety of topics with variety of exercises and some grammar points embedded. The second edition with task-based pre-reading activities and vocabulary sections before the main texts will help the students to understand the texts better. Additional vocabulary and grammar exercises are definitely a milestone which will strengthen the book and improve the vocabulary and grammar knowledge of the students and enhance learning. I found the book a very useful tool for teaching Persian at higher education as it has almost all the instructors require with no need to spend a great amount of time looking for appropriate class materials."Mahbod Ghaffari, University of Cambridge, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionLesson Oneدرس اولWhich sport are you interested in?

Book SynopsisA NEW COMPANION TO VICTORIAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE The Victorian period was a time of rapid cultural change, which resulted in a huge and varied literary output. A New Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture offers experienced guidance to the literature of nineteenth-century Britain and its social and historical context. This revised and expanded edition comprises contributions from over 30 leading scholars who, approaching the Victorian epoch from different positions and traditions, delve into the unruly complexities of the Victorian imagination. Divided into five parts, this new Companion surveys seven decades of history before examining the key phases in a Victorian life, the leading professions and walks of life, the major literary genres, the way Victorians defined their persons, homes, and national identity, and how recent neo-Victorian developments in contemporary culture reconfigure the sense we make of the past today.

Book SynopsisIncorporating approaches from linguistics and psychology, The Handbook of Psycholinguistics explores language processing and language acquisition from an array of perspectives and features cutting edge research from cognitive science, neuroscience, and other related fields. The Handbook provides readers with a comprehensive review of the current state of the field, with an emphasis on research trends most likely to determine the shape of psycholinguistics in the years ahead. The chapters are organized into three parts, corresponding to the major areas of psycholinguists: production, comprehension, and acquisition. The collection of chapters, written by a team of international scholars, incorporates multilingual populations and neurolinguistic dimensions. Each of the three sections also features an overview chapter in which readers are introduced to the different theoretical perspectives guiding research in the area covered in that section.

Book SynopsisArabiyyat al-Naas (Part One), second edition, offers a groundbreaking introduction to Arabic as it is written and spoken by native speakers. It combines a grounding in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with an innovative integration of the spoken Levantine variety used in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine.The course efficiently prepares students for the practical realities of learning and living Arabic today. The book contains 29 theme-based units covering all the core topics expected in a first-year Arabic course, such as countries, clothes, colors, family and professions. The book is to be used in conjunction with the companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/younes) offering a wealth of additional instructor and student resources.This volume is the first in an exciting three-part series of Arabic textbooks which together provide a complete three-year undergraduate language program. The book is an essential resource for students beginning to learn ArTrade ReviewArabic is a multiglossic language, and to teach it effectively a spoken variety and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) must both be included. Munther Younes’s pioneering Integrated Approach shows that it is possible to learn Arabic the way native speakers use it, listening and speaking in spoken Arabic and reading and writing in Modern Standard Arabic. I’ve been teaching with the ‘Arabiyyat al-Naas series for many years and I’m delighted with the improvements that the author team has made to this new edition of Book I. Congratulations!Victoria Aguilar, Profesora Titular de Lengua Árabe de la Universidad de MurciaYounes, Weatherspoon and Foster are to be commended for a method that enables learners to develop real-world proficiency in everyday, spoken Arabic, as well as the formal register. From the very start, Arabiyyat Al-Naas, Part One balances audio, visual and written texts to introduce stimulating and essential aspects of the language and its cultures. The textbook and its companion website offer a wealth of input through varied activities and materials, along with clear grammatical explanations. Arabiyyat Al-Naas is a well-conceived and exciting learning resource that empowers learners to reach the intermediate-low level. Nader K. Uthman, Language Director & Arabic Language Coordinator, New York UniversityArabiyyat al-Naas is the best textbook for a meaningful, engaging, encouraging introduction to Arabic. By focusing on language relevant to students’ needs and lives right from Lesson 1, and integrating every aspect of orthography, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar into that framework of immediately useful language, learners are truly and meaningfully communicating with each other from the very beginning.

Book SynopsisAn astounding project of analysis on more than one hundred translations of ancient philosophical texts, this index of words found in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series comprises some 114,000 entries. It forms in effect a unique dictionary of philosophical terms from the post-Hellenistic period through to late antiquity and will be an essential reference tool for any scholar working on the meaning of these ancient texts. As traditional dictionaries have usually neglected to include translation examples from philosophical texts of this period, scholars interested in how meanings of words vary across time and author have been ill served. This index fills a huge gap, therefore, in the lexical analysis of ancient Greek and has application well beyond the reading of ancient philosophical commentaries. Bringing together the full indexes from 110 of the volumes published in Bloomsbury''s Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, McKirahan has combined each word entry and analysed howTrade ReviewThis is a really useful resource for philologists, translators, and students of ancient philosophy. It is also an interesting ‘meta-project’, providing information about the sorts of choices and preferences made by translators of individual volumes. This is not a dictionary as such, because it goes beyond what a dictionary can do in what it reveals about modern scholarship on the commentators on Aristotle. * Greece & Rome *Table of ContentsForeword by Sir Richard Sorabji Introduction Reference list of titles in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series Index of words

Book SynopsisNow thoroughly updated and revised, this new edition of the highly acclaimed dictionary provides an authoritative and accessible guide to modern ideas in the broad interdisciplinary fields of cultural and critical theory.Trade Review“Such reservations apart, there is much of value here and students of literature, cultural studies, philosophy, and related studies will find this a useful resource.” (Reference Reviews, 2012) "The first aspect of "added value" in the second edition of A Dictionary of Cultural and Critical Theory lies in the fact that this dictionary is written and edited by experts. There are some world-class scholars among the contributors here, and many of the longer entries are insightful as well as challenging (Simon Frith's and Christopher Norris's, among others, stand out, as do many by the editors themselves: Jessica Rae Barbera on Elaine Scarry, for example)." (Times Literary Supplement, 6 January 2012) "Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students." (Choice, 1 May 2011) "Thoughtfully structured and containing an impressive array of generally well-written entries, this book will be a welcome addition to the shelves of many reference collections." Reference Reviews Amazon.co.uk reviews of first edition: "This book is a must for any who has an interest in Cultural Studies firstly, but secondly any other subject area within the field: psychoanalysis, cinema studies, feminism - it's all in there! Each "dictionary" entry is concise and understandable with cross referencing to offer a complete all round knowledge! Good to point you in the right direction for an essay or simply to help make sense of the reading for your course!" "If there has ever been a must in Cultural and/or Contemporary studies- this is it. I started studying Contemporary Cultural Studies in Germany this Summer and a fellow student gave me the advice to buy this book. Since then I' ve read it from cover to cover about 2 times! It doesn't only cover the essentials, but is also crosslinked very well outlineing the development of Cultural science. Besides all this it is also written in a manner that you can understand everything reading it only once! Thanks to Michael Payne and his book my studies have become more profund and easier at the same time!" Amazon.com review of first edition: "I strongly reccomend this book to anyone working in the fields of cultural and communications theory. The explanations are straightforward and accurate. The cross-referencing is exhaustive and well laid out.

Book SynopsisThis work centres on the post-Roman period of Narbonne and its territory, up to its capture by the Arabs in 720, encompassing not only recent archaeological findings but also perspectives of French, Spanish and Catalan historiography that have fashioned distinct national narratives. Seeking to remove Narbonne from any subsequent birth of France, Catalonia and Spain, the book presents a geopolitical region that took shape from the late fifth century, evolving towards the end of the eighth century into an autonomous province of the nascent Carolingian Empire. Capturing this change throughout a 300-year period somewhat lacking in written sources, the book takes us beyond an exclusive depiction of the classical city to an examination of settlement in various forms. Discourses of literary criticism also lie behind aspects of this study, mapped around textual commentaries which highlight a more imaginative biography of a city. Narbonne''s role as a point of departure and travel across the MTrade Review'...Riess monograph exhibits the virtues of a regionalist approach while, at the same time, persuasively arguing for Narbonnes relevance to the greater political, military, and diplomatic affairs of the post-Roman Mediterranean world.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'Riess excites with the interplay of textual and material evidence. Valuable and informative set pieces result; examples include an investigation of the location of Sulpicius Severus’s retreat, Primuliacum (pp. 66-69); analysis of Narbonne’s Christian origins (pp. 115-17); and examination of Narbonne’s hinterland in light of recent archeological categorizations for rural settlements (pp. 194-203). In sum Riess’s book exemplifies the outstanding scholarship one can achieve by mastering the intertwining of textual and archaeological evidence.’ Journal of Late Antiquity '... thoroughly impressive ... Riess persuasively argues that the region of Narbonne was integral to events ranging across Hispania and was in turn shaped by events in an even wider political theatre that involved Visigothic, Frankish, Burgundian, Ostrogothic, Byzantine and Arab interests.'

Book SynopsisThe essays brought together in this book understand phobia not as a pathology, but as a versatile moral, political, and aesthetic resource and one with a history. They demonstrate that enquiry into strong feelings of aversion has enabled writers and film-makers to say and show things they could not otherwise have said or shown; and in this way to get profoundly and provocatively to grips with the modern condition. Makes extensive reference to original readings of a wide range of literary texts and films, from the 1850s to the present Places a strong emphasis on the value phobia has held, in particular, for women activists, writers, and film-makers Discusses a range of writers and film-makers from Dickens, Thackeray, and George Eliot through Hardy, Joyce, Ford and Woolf; from Jean Renoir through Hitchcock and Truffaut to Margarethe von Trotta and Pedro Almodóvar Intervention in key debates in cultural theory and cultural history Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisThis volume contains papers addressing issues in task-based research into second language learning which are essential to informed pedagogic decision-making about how best to achieve this aim. These issues include research into the design characteristics of pedagogic tasks that promote the accuracy, fluency and complexity of learner language; the role of individual differences in the motivational and other cognitive variables that demands made by pedagogic tasks draw on; the extent to which tasks, and teacher interventions during task performance, promote the quantity and quality of interaction that facilitate L2 learning; and the generalizability of task-based research in laboratory contexts to classroom settings.Trade Review“Overall, this book is a unique effort that is well prepared and worthy of reading for students, researchers and practitioners in the field of second language acquisition and pedagogy.” (Linguist, 26 June 2012) Table of ContentsTask Design and Second Language Performance: The Effect of Narrative Type on Learner Output (Parveneh Tavokli & Pauline Foster ) (from 58:2, 439-473, 2008).

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIts contemporaneity is astonishing... It would be doing Leg over Leg a massive disservice to not make it clear how funny it is. This is a book that for all its challenges, all its insight into humanity, all its place in history, had me regularly laughing out loud. * Music and Literature *Humphrey Davies's masterful translation makes accessible this unique and fascinating work, deserving of wider recognition and study... The translation adroitly and sympathetically captures the linguistic exuberance and literary inventiveness of the original. * Banipal Magazine *The heroic achievement of award-winning translator Humphrey Davies marks the first ever English translation of this pivotal work... An accessible, informative, and highly entertaining read. * Banipal Magazine *...Leg over Leg by the Lebanese intellectual Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq, [has] long been held to be untranslatable and so [is] appearing, in [its] entirety, in English for the first time. -- Lydia Wilson * Times Literary Supplement *Al-Shidyaq, born in Lebanon in the early years of the nineteenth century, was a Zelig of the Arabic literary world, and his Leg over Leg is a bawdy, hilarious, epically word-obsessed, and unclassifiable book, which has never been translated into English before. -- Sal Robinson * Moby Lives *Humphrey Davies has rendered one of the most challenging texts of Arabic literature, al-Shidyaq's al-Saq 'ala l-saq, accessible to a wide range of readers for the first time.... The reader is plunged into al-Shidyaq's critical, humorous, uninhibited, sometimes bitter but profoundly humane, and utterly original masterpiece. -- Hilary Kilpatrick * Journal of the American Oriental Society *Humphrey Davies's translation, published in four dual-language volumes, is a triumph. He skillfully renders punning, rhyming prose without breaking the spell Leg over Leg stands out for both its stylistic brazenness and the excellence of the translation. With this bilingual edition, the Library of Arabic Literature helps fill a large cultural gap and alters our view of Arabic literature and the formal trajectory of the novel outside the West. Any reader for whom the term 'world literature' is more than an empty platitude must read Humphrey Davies's translation. -- John Yargo * Los Angeles Review of Books *We're having a particularly good season for literary discoveries from the past, with recent publications of Volumes 1 and 2 of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq's 'Leg over Leg' (1855)… -- Martin Riker * New York Times Book Review *It is not too early to state that the publication of this work, in this edition, is a game-changer. This is a foundational work of modern Arabic literature and its publication in English is long overdue but given how it is presented here, it was perhaps worth the wait. This edition, with helpful endnotes, the original Arabic text, and in a translation that both reads well and appears to closely mirror the original, seems, in almost every way, ideal. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is the most important literary publication of a translation into English, in terms of literary history and our understanding of it, in years. * The Complete Review *Table of ContentsTable of Contents Chapter 1: Raising a Storm 36 Chapter 2: A Bruising Fall and a Protecting Shawl 64 Chapter 3: Various Amusing Anecdotes 72 Chapter 4: Troubles and a Tambour 84 Chapter 5: A Priest and a Pursie, Dragging Pockets and Dry Grazing 92 Chapter 6: Food and Feeding Frenzies 108 Chapter 7: A Donkey that Brayed, a Journey Made, a Hope Delayed 116 Chapter 8: Bodega, Brethren, and Board 124 Chapter 9: Unseemly Conversations and Crooked Contestations 134 Chapter 10: Angering Women Who Dart Sideways Looks, and Claws like Hooks 148 Chapter 11: That Which Is Long and Broad 162 Chapter 12: A Dish and an Itch 174 Chapter 13: A Maqamah, or, a Maqamah on "Chapter 13" 190 Chapter 14: A Sacrament 202 Chapter 15: The Priest's Tale 212 Chapter 16: The Priest's Tale Continued 222 Chapter 17: Snow 244 Chapter 18: Bad Luck 254 Chapter 19: Emotion and Motion 282 Chapter 20: The Difference between Market-men and Bag-men 312

Book SynopsisA curious figure stalks the pages of a distinct subset of mass-market romance novels, aptly called desert romances. Animalistic yet sensitive, dark and attractive, the desert prince or sheikh emanates manliness and raw, sexual power. In the years since September 11, 2001, the sheikh character has steadily risen in popularity in romance novels, even while depictions of Arab masculinity as backward and violent in nature have dominated the cultural landscape. An Imperialist Love Story contributes to the broader conversation about the legacy of orientalist representations of Arabs in Western popular culture. Combining close readings of novels, discursive analysis of blogs and forums, and interviews with authors, Jarmakani explores popular investments in the war on terror by examining the collisions between fantasy and reality in desert romances. Focusing on issues of security, freedom, and liberal multiculturalism, she foregrounds the role that desire plays in contemporary formations of U.Trade Review"Jarmakanis monograph is of particular interest to feminist literary scholars, especially those working with romance novels and/or with post-9/11 fiction." * Feminist Theory *"An Imperialist Love Story is a cutting edge piece of scholarship, exploring the fascinating tension between a resurgence in popular desert romances at a cultural moment in which Arab masculinity is understood as violent and threatening. Offering a radical reinterpretation of the power of mass-market engagements with the Middle East,Jarmakanianalyzes the role that fantasy and desire play in the construction of U.S. imperialism. Beautifully written and enjoyable to read, this book will generate debate in many different circles, for many years to come." -- Sarah Gualtieri,author of Between Arab and White: Race and Ethnicity in the Early Syrian American Diaspora"Jarmarkani investigates & desert romances, i.e., pulp novels set in an imagined & Arabiastan and prominently featuring a sheikh or prince who is powerfully virile yet deeply sensitive and gratifyingly susceptible to the charms of the Western heroine." * Choice *Table of ContentsContents Preface vii Acknowledgments xxi Introduction: The Romantic Sheikh as Hero of the War on Terror 1 1.

Book SynopsisThe Italian spoken in most of Tuscany is characterized by a number of peculiar pronunciations which for over half a century Romance scholars have explained by a theory of linguistic substratum influence. This theory postulates that present-day Tuscan pronunciation is a survival of the 'foreign accent' with which the ancient Etruscans must have spoken Latin when Rome first began to extend its power and language over the rest of Italy.Professor Izzo has undertaken a new and thorough investigation of modern Tuscan pronunciation, disproving this hypothesis and providing a definitive conclusion to the debate. He delineates clearly the errors in reasoning of those who trace the Tuscan pronunciation to an Etruscan influence, and presents his conclusions objectively.This study will interest Romance linguists, especially historians of the Italian language; but it will also interest historical linguists in general, for by disproving one of the most plausible and best-documented

Book SynopsisDictionary of the Ponca People presents approximately five thousand words and definitions used by Ponca speakers from the late nineteenth century to the present. Trade Review“As Chairman of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, I recently issued a State of Emergency as it relates to the near extinction of the Ponca Language in our Tribal Nation. Through assimilation and termination polices of the United States, our language is critically endangered. The Ponca Community Dictionary will be a vital tool in preserving and revitalizing the Ponca language. The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska will be utilizing it for future generations of Ponca speakers.”—Larry Wright Jr., chairman of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska “This dictionary is the culmination of decades of work and persistence to save a language the U.S. federal government worked hard to eradicate. As a first language Ponca speaker, Louis Headman has worked tirelessly with teachers, elders, and citizens of both the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska and Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma to record and preserve their language. Because of their efforts, the Ponca language will endure long after the boarding schools the Federal Government erected to eliminate it.”—Mary Kathryn Nagle, citizen of Cherokee Nation, partner at Pipestem Law P.C., and author of Waaxe’s Law “As a descendent of Chief Headman, and nephew to Louis Headman, I can say emphatically that the importance of Ponca language preservation and maintenance cannot be overstated or taken for granted. It has been a journey to walk a few steps with my uncle who has been on a lifelong journey to accomplish this incredible and vast contribution to the future of Ponca speakers and singers.”—Randall Bruce Howe Ross, Ponca/Otoe Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Introduction: Notes on Ponca Pronunciation and Grammar Part 1.

Costa presents a collection of almost all of the known Native texts in Miami-Illinois, from speakers of Myaamia, Peoria, and Wea.Trade Review"This unique, long-awaited volume is of great value to Algonquian studies from both a linguistic and cultural-historical perspective. It represents a major contribution toward fostering a Myaamia cultural legacy that will be accessible to a wide readership."—E. J.

Book SynopsisMedieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mottled by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-intentioned preservation efforts. In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript—an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twelfth-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet. This trajectory has been propelled by a succession of technologies—from paper manufacture to printing to computers. Together, they have made literary history itself a cultural technology indebted to colonial capitalism. Bringing to bear media theory, medieval literary studies, and book history, Warren shows how digital infrastructures change texts and books, even very old ones. In the process, she uncovers a practice of "tech medievalism" that weaves through the history of computing since the mid-twentieth century; metaphors indebted to King Arthur and the Holy Grail are integral to some of the technologies that now sustain medieval books on the internet. This infrastructural approach to book history illuminates how the meaning of literature is made by many people besides canonical authors: translators, scribes, patrons, readers, collectors, librarians, cataloguers, editors, photographers, software programmers, and many more. Situated at the intersections of the digital humanities, library sciences, literary history, and book history, Holy Digital Grail offers new ways to conceptualize authorship, canon formation, and the definition of a "book."Trade Review"Deeply learned, self-reflective and ethical, and a really good read, Holy Digital Grail represents a lifetime's worth of thinking deeply."—Siân Echard, University of British Columbia"Book history built around the precarious adventures of a single—and singularly embattled—Arthurian manuscript. Michelle Warren is among the most original, creative, and technologically alert medieval scholars of our time."—Paul Strohm, Columbia University"This is the kind of book history scholarship we need in the twenty-first century: connective, imaginative, and unafraid to follow the histories of books wherever they lead. Michelle Warren's fascinating account of a single manuscript and its many afterlives connects our digital present and the medieval past with insight and verve, deftly combining the study of manuscripts, digitization, and media history in a remarkable synthesis."—Alan Galey, University of Toronto"Warren's book is praiseworthy not just for her knowledge about MS 80, but also for her detailed understanding of the work involved in creating digital editions and the clarity with which she explains (what may be) unfamiliar technical terminology and processes to the reader. Warren's focus on the paratextual features of the manuscript, along with the attention she pays to processes of editing, collating, and preservation, make a thoughtful contribution to publishing studies in highlighting much of the unseen (and frequently unacknowledged) work that shapes audience interactions with medieval manuscripts."—Martha Claire Baldon, The Medieval Review"Warren's personal approach presents a tangible expression of how new digital platforms have allowed and even prompted new avenues in manuscript studies."—C. E. M. Henderson, Modern Philology"As with the search for the Holy Grail, the goal is not always entirely tangible, but the journey itself is very enlightening—and, in this case, also entertaining.... [Holy Digital Grail] is about much more than merely tracing the history of the records of one manuscript. The book addresses key questions about interactions between digital infrastructure and book history as well as the making and remaking of books. Ultimately, one could also see behind this a reflection of research data in the humanities, which results from the source, its digitization, and the multilayered enrichment over time."—Luise Borek, H-Sci-Med-Tech"Holy Digital Grail is a carefully constructed and refreshing account of the history of a medieval book, from the origins of its text to its digital existence. Warren's interdisciplinary and reflective approach allows her to successfully disentangle the intricate connections between text, matter, technology, politics, and people."—Renske Annelize Hoff, Jarbuch für KommunikationsgeschichteTable of ContentsIntroduction: Medieval Literature in the Digital Dark Ages 1.
