One thing English is especially rich in compared to many languages is the large number of phrasal verbs and verb phrases. These are constructions such as "add up to," or "brush up on," or "run out of." This work discusses the evidence for this feature having evolved because of the decline in prefixes in English. This has now been traced as far back as Old and Middle English. Many languages preserve complicated systems of both noun classification prefixes and verb prefixes, such as Swahili, or post-fixes, as in the case of Ural-Altaic languages such as Finnish and Estonian, which have 14 and 15 cases, respectively. Hungarian has 24, and some Caucasian languages in Russia have over 30. In other words, they've never evolved the idea of a separate and free-standing preposition or postposition, as in most Indo-European languages. The result in English is that it has only about 20 different basic sentence structures, since word order has to be relatively fixed since the basic grammatical cases like the nominative, accusative, dative, ablative, locative, and so on, are no longer marked, with few exceptions, such as in the nominative and accusative versions of the pronouns he/him, she/her, and they/them. That's about it in English, although English does have the genitive case as in adding an "s" to show possession, as in "John's car." But getting back to the present book, this work discusses this evolutionary change with respect to current historical linguistic scholarship on English, which should be of interest to professional specialists in English grammar and the Germanic family of languages as a whole.

Whitman proposed, optimistically, that America's shortcomings would be overcome in time: "by recognizing the worth of common people, dramatized especially in the selfless heroism of the Civil War soldiers; by cultivating both individuality and social unity; by having faith in the electoral process ..; by permitting women to develop fully in many ways; by seeing that America is steadily developing through its current practical, business-oriented phase toward a time when great 'bards' will arise, producing a true democratic literature that will instill much-needed religiosity and moral conscience into American life."

O'Connor's detailed approach to the subject of geneaology in County Kerry would be valuable to everyone from the new reseacher to the professional researcher. He explores each avenue of information allowing the researcher to discern its usefulness for him/herself. A Must have for those who have reached a "brick wall" in their own persuits!

This was, and is over 20 years later, my favorite children's book. I wish I could find Gale Brennan and tell her how much I love this book. There are more in the series, but I am having an impossible time finding them.

If you want a book that your kids will love and that YOU will think is funny, buy this book!

I can't recommend this drug book highly enough. While having all the nice features of lab values, chemotherapy protocols, vaccinations, skin testing, etc., it also has a bonus feature of listing Canadian and Mexican drug names. This is a very resourceful book for both new and experienced MTs.

Excellent reading for all the "Duel" movie fans. "The Distributor" is also
wonderful and fun reading. Also, a must for any Dennis Weaver fan.

You won't find much of the information in this book very easy to find anywhere else.

How many Zen Buddhists have ever heard of the San-lun school, or know the early history of Buddhism coming to China?

Were the treatises of the Beheaded Buddhist monk Seng-jao the basis of the Goi koans and "The Song of the Jeweled Mirror Samadhi?

This book allows us to feel the indescribable love that God has for all of his children upon the earth. As I have read this compilation of various individual accounts, I have noticed common threads of truth and felt uplifted and renewed knowing that each person born on this earth has a unique purpose, that life has great meaning and most importantly that we are known and deeply loved.
