University of Hawai'i Press Remembering Simplified Hanzi 2
Book SynopsisThis book is the second of two volumes designed to help students learn the meaning and writing of the 3,000 most frequently used simplified Chinese characters. (A parallel set of volumes has been prepared for traditional characters.) The 1,500 characters introduced in Book 1 include the top 1,000 by frequency, plus another 500 best learned at an early stage. Book 2 adds the remaining 1,500 characters to complete the set. The lessons of Book 2 have been arranged in such a way that they may be studied either after those of Book 1 or simultaneously with them. Students who wish to focus initially on the 1,000 most frequently used characters in the language can do so by studying Book 1 before moving on to Book 2. Many, if not most, learners will find this preferable. Students who wish to apply the logical ordering found in these pages to the entire list of 3,000 characters from the very beginning can take the more exacting, but also more rationally satisfying, approach of studying the par

Georgetown University Press Love, Death, and Exile: Poems Translated from
Book SynopsisCalled "a major innovator in his art form" by "The New York Times", Baghdad-born poet Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati broke with over fifteen centuries of Arabic poetic tradition to write in free verse and became world famous in the process. "Love, Death, and Exile: Poems Translated from Arabic" is a rare, bilingual facing-page edition in both the original Arabic text and a highly praised English translation by Bassam K. Frangieh, containing selections from eight of Al-Bayati's books of poetry. Forced to spend much of his life in exile from his native Iraq, Al-Bayati created poetry that is not only revolutionary and political, but also steeped in mysticism and allusion, moving and full of longing. This collection is a superb introduction to Al-Bayati, Arabic language, and Arabic literature and culture as well. On Al-Bayati's death in 1999, "The New York Times" obituary quoted him as saying once that his many years of absence from his homeland had been a "tormenting experience" that had great impact on his poetry. "I always dream at night that I am in Iraq and hear its heart beating and smell its fragrance carried by the wind, especially after midnight when it's quiet".Trade Review[Frangieh] has constructed a beautiful and worthy portal for his powerful and accurate portrayal of Al-Bayati the poet through his own words. Al-Bayati's importance as a poet and a voice of modern Arab intellectual culture is successfully transmitted through the selection and translation. We observe his development as a poet, enjoying the development of particular messages, and his play with poetic form... Al-Bayati and Frangieh have given us a most satisfactory read! MESA Bulletin This fine publication will be welcome to specialists in the field and should be a revelation to a wider circle of poetry lovers.

Channel View Publications Ltd Collaborative Writing in L2 Classrooms
Book SynopsisIn this first book-length treatment of collaborative writing in second language (L2) classrooms, Neomy Storch provides a theoretical, pedagogical and empirical rationale for the use of collaborative writing activities in L2 classes, as well as some guidelines about how to best implement such activities in both face-to-face and online mode. The book discusses factors that may impact on the nature and outcomes of collaborative writing, and examines the beliefs about language learning that underpin learners' and teachers' attitudes towards pair and group work. The book critically reviews the available body of research on collaborative writing and identifies future research directions, thereby encouraging researchers to continue investigating collaborative writing activities.Trade ReviewAt last, a definitive treatment of collaborative writing in second language classrooms! Storch lays out compelling theoretical, empirical and pedagogical rationales for collaborative writing, convincing the reader of its positive impact on language learning. Aware of the challenges teachers face in implementing in-class and online (e.g. wikis) collaborative activities, she provides practical suggestions about task choice, and the collaborative relationships most conducive to language learning. She addresses both cognitive and social-emotive aspects of pair/group work, calling for longitudinal, qualitative research in diverse language learning contexts. -- Merrill Swain and Sharon Lapkin, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, CanadaIn this accessible yet authoritative book, Neomy Storch has provided the field with an illuminating, comprehensive, and novel understanding of the role that collaboration (through writing) and L2 writing (in collaborative environments) can play in advancing L2 competencies. The book is therefore a most welcome addition to the expanding SLA-oriented L2 writing scholarship. -- Rosa M. Manchón, University of Murcia, SpainCollaborative writing is one of the most exciting new directions in second language writing research and instruction. In this book, Neomy Storch, a leader in this important development, lays a foundation by providing a clear and succinct overview of theoretical and research insights from a wide range of intellectual traditions, including second language acquisition, sociocultural theory, composition studies and, of course, second language writing. This book is a great introduction for teachers who wish to understand the rationale behind collaborative writing and for researchers who wish to identify questions for further explorations of this relatively young yet promising research area with practical implications. -- Paul Kei Matsuda, Arizona State University, USAThis new publication will be undoubtedly welcomed by practitioners as an authoritative book in the field of L2 writing, especially for those interested in practical methods of incorporating collaborative writing in class. Researchers too may benefit from the identification of questions for further exploration in an area that is still, by and large, underexplored and in which, according to the author, only a small number of published studies have appeared to date. -- Brett Cumming, Aichi Prefectural University, Japan * JALT Journal, 37.1 *Grounded in a very thorough knowledge of this field, this volume, by one of its leading researchers who is also an experienced ESL and EAP teacher, is a valuable resource. I am happy to recommend it to both teachers and researchers with an interest in collaborative writing. -- Rosemary Wette, University of Auckland, New Zealand in TESOLANZ Journal (2015)Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Theoretical and Pedagogical Rationale for Collaborative L2 Writing Chapter 3: Collaborative Writing: L2 Learning and Practice Opportunities Chapter 4: Factors Affecting Languaging in Collaborative Writing Chapter 5: Collaborative Writing and Language Learning Chapter 6: Learners’ Perspectives of Collaborative Writing Chapter 7: Computer Mediated Collaborative Writing Chapter 8: Conclusion: Pedagogical Implications and Research Directions

Leuven University Press Florilegium recentioris Latinitatis
Book SynopsisNeo-Latin, a truly interdisciplinary and multicultural field of study, has become especially relevant in today's global age. Latin does not belong to any particular country, but to the Republic of Letters with its high aims and universal appeal. A comprehensive critical anthology of Neo-Latin would thus be useful in the classroom, both in secondary school and on university level, as well as for independent scholars. The present volume is comprised of about fifty texts pertaining to geographical areas all around the world, spanning the 14th to the 20th centuries, written in a wide range of genres by authors of varied backgrounds, and touching on topics of dramatic importance for today. The language of the anthology is Latin, in accordance with the universality it aims to represent by its selection of texts.Trade ReviewMinkova’s Florilegium is a book that has been sorely needed, and it is a rich addition to a field almost destitute of teaching resources.Tom Hendrickson, M In Medias Res, October 23, 2018If we expand our canon to make room for the authors included in this anthology, then students, scholars, and lovers of Latin everywhere will find an array of new texts and voices to inspire them. Michael Fontaine, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018.11.38 - http://www.bmcreview.org/2018/11/20181138.htmlAnyone who wants to teach a survey course in Neo-Latin will find more here than he or she can possibly get through in a semester, and both the compiler and the publisher deserve our thanks for creating an alternative to the course packet compiled in haste, and in violation of copyright laws, that has served as a textbook in this field for most of us. Craig Kallendorf, The Neo-Latin News Vol. 66, Nos. 3&4It sustains the continuous tradition of Neo-Latin culture even in the twenty-first century, aims at being instructive to students and at cultivating those admirers of Latin who still revere classical Latin as a transnational communication tool of educated elites.Josef Förster, Listy filologické / Folia philologica CXLII, 2019, 1–2As a whole, Minkova’s anthology provides a useful collection of influential and fascinating Neo-Latin texts, both known, authoritative works as well as obscurer examples, reflecting the variety of this literature. This volume will be useful to any teacher preparing a class on Neo-Latin texts. But the readership will presumably be wider. The inclusion of important authorities such as Petrarch, Thomas More, and Erasmus provides interesting glimpses into a huge, still widely obscure corpus for scholars of the Renaissance and early modern world from a variety of fields—history, philosophy, the modern philologies, etc. One can only hope that the language of the edition will not only attract lovers of the Latin language, but also not deter interested groups from neighboring fields.Johanna Luggin, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume 73, Issue 1, Spring 2020, https://doi.org/10.1017/rqx.2019.498Table of ContentsIndex auctorum, generum litterarum, operum, quae florilegio comprehenduntur Praefatio Francisci Petrarcae (Francesco Petrarca) (1304-1374) epistulae, carmen epicumConspectus librorum Epistulae ad Ciceronem Epistula de ascensu Montis Ventosi AfricaLaurentii Vallae (Lorenzo Valla) (1407-1457) declamatio sive praefatio ad enchiridion grammaticumConspectus librorum De elegantia linguae Latinae prooemium primum.Ioannis Ioviani Pontani (Giovanni Gioviano Pontano) (1429-1503) cantus puerilesConspectus librorum De amore coniugali: Naeniae.Michaelis Marulli Tarchaniotis (Μιχαήλ Μάρουλλος Ταρχανειώτης; Michele Marullo Tarcaniota) (ca 1453-1500) epigrammaConspectus librorum De laudibus Rhacusae.Petri Martyris (Pietro Martire d’Anghiera) (1457-1526) historiaeConspectus librorum De orbe novoIacobi Sannazarii (Jacopo Sannazaro) (1458-1530) carmen epicum, carmen bucolicumConspectus librorum De partu Virginis GalateaIoannis Pici Mirandulae (Giovanni Pico della Mirandola) (1463-1494) oratioConspectus librorum De dignitate hominis.Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami (1466-1536) declamatio, epistulae (vita, vita sui ipsius etc.), colloquium scholasticumConspectus librorum Stultitiae laus Epistulae Colloquium Abbatis et eruditae.Thomae Mori (Thomas More) (1477/8-1535) mythistoriaConspectus librorum UtopiaHieronymi Fracastorii (Girolamo Fracastoro) (1483-1533) carmen didacticumConspectus librorum De morbo GallicoIulii Caesaris Scaligeri (Giulio Cesare della Scala) (1484-1558) epigrammataConspectus librorum UrbesIoannis Genesii Sepulvedae (Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda) (ca1490-1573) historiaeConspectus librorum De orbe novo.Ioannis Ludovici Vives (Juan Luis Vives) (1493-1540) colloquium scholasticumConspectus librorum Linguae Latinae exercitatio: Corpus hominis exteriusPhilippi Melanchthonis (Philipp Schwarzerd) (1497-1560) oratioConspectus librorum De laude vitae scholasticae oratio.Nicolai Winmanni (Nikolaus Wynmann) (ca1510-1550) dialogusConspectus librorum ColymbetesIoannis (Iani) Secundi (Jan Everaerts) (1511-1536) carmina lyrica (distichi elegiaci, hendecasyllabi, pythiambi, glyconii)Conspectus librorum BasiaIoannis Latini (Juan Latino) (1518?-ca1594) elegia, carmen epicum seu didacticum Conspectus librorum Ad catholicum et invictissimum regem Philippum elegia AustriasAugerii Busbequii (Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq) (1522-1592) epistulaeConspectus librorum Legationis Turcicae epistolae quatuorMarci Antonii Mureti (Marc-Antoine Muret) (1526-1585) drama SenecanumConspectus librorum Iulius CaesarIoannis Petri Maffei (Giovanni Pietro Maffei) (1533-1603) historiaeConspectus librorum Historiae IndicaeIacobi Pontani (Jacob Spanmüller) (1542-1626) colloquia scholasticaConspectus librorum Progymnasmata Latinitatis sive dialogiIusti Lipsii (Joost Lips) (1547-1606) epistulaeConspectus librorum Epistulae ad Montanum; ad Iosephum ScaligerumIacobi Augusti Thuani (Jacques-Auguste de Thou) (1553-1617) historiae Conspectus librorum Historiae sui temporisIoannis Kepleri (Johannes Kepler) (1571-1630) fabula phantastica tractatui astronomico insertaConspectus librorum Somnium seu de astronomia lunari.Ioannis Barclaii (John Barclay) (1582-1621) mythistoriaConspectus librorum ArgenisHugonis Grotii (Hugo de Groot) (1583-1645) opus iuridicum, carmen bucolicumConspectus librorum Mare liberum Myrtilus sive Idyllium nauticumThomae Hobbesii (Thomas Hobbes) (1588-1679) tractatus philosophicusConspectus librorum De civeMatthiae Casimiri Sarbievii (Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski) (1595-1649) odae HoratianaeConspectus librorum OdaeIacobi Baldaei (Jacob Balde) (1604-1668) odae MarianaeConspectus librorum OdaeAnnae Mariae a Schurman (Anna Maria van Schurman) (1607-1678) epistulaeConspectus librorum De vitae humanae termino Problema practicum: num feminae Christianae conveniat studium litterarum.Petri Danielis Huetii (Pierre-Daniel Huet) (1630-1721) satura (hodoeporicon)Conspectus librorum Iter SuecicumUbertini Carrarae (Ubertino da Carrara) (1642-1716) carmen epicumConspectus librorum ColumbusLudovici Holbergii (Ludvig Holberg) (1684-1754) mythistoriaConspectus librorum Nicolai Klimii iter subterraneumRaphaelis Landivarii (Rafael Landívar) (1731-1793) carmen didacticum et descriptivumConspectus librorum Rusticatio MexicanaIoannis Pascoli (Giovanni Pascoli) (1855-1912) satura (carmina commixta)Conspectus librorum Catullocalvos

Book SynopsisNever be lost for words again...with this book of lost words. Have you ever wanted to wield the silver tongue of Loki, or to hammer home your point like a Thundergod?

It is the language of cleverly crafted kennings, blood-curdling curses, and pithy retorts to RagnarÖk. Old Norse for Modern Times gives you the perfect phrase for every contemporary situation—from memorable movie quotes ("We’re going to need a bigger boat." Þurfa munu vÉr skip stÆrra) to battle-cries to yell on Discord ("Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" SÝnisk ÞÉr ek vera Í skapi til leika?), from mead hall musings ("This drink, I like it! ANOTHER!" LÍkar mÉr drykkr Þessi! ANNAN!) to tried-and-tested pickup lines ("Nice tattoo!" Fagrt er hÚÐflÚriÐ"). With over 500 phrases inside (plus the chance to add your own!) it is the perfect guide for Vikings fans, whether they are re-enactors, role-players, or simply in love with Ragnar.
