![]() Silence as Language: Verbal Silence as a Means of Expression English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108471676 | 383 Pages | PDF | 3 MB Verbal silence touches on every possible aspect of daily life. This book provides a full linguistic analysis of the role of silence in language, exploring perspectives from semantics, semiotics, pragmatics, phonetics, syntax, grammar and poetics, and taking into account a range of spoken and written contexts. The author argues that silence is just as communicative in language as speech, as it results from the deliberate choice of the speaker, and serves functions such as informing, conveying emotion, signalling turn switching, and activating the addresser. Verbal silence is used, alongside speech, to serve linguistic functions in all areas of life, as well as being employed in a wide variety of written texts. The forms and functions of silence are explained, detailed and illustrated with examples taken from both written texts and real-life interactions. Engaging and comprehensive, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating linguistic phenomenon. ![]() Anthony J Langlois, "Sexuality and Gender Diversity Rights in Southeast Asia " English | ISBN: 1108927815 | 2022 | 75 pages | PDF | 1280 KB Sexuality and gender diversity rights in Southeast Asia are deeply controversial and vigorously contested. Debate and protest have been accompanied by both legislative reform and discriminatory violence. These contradictory dynamics are occurring at a time when the international human rights regime has explicitly incorporated a focus on the prevention of violence and discrimination in relation to sexuality and gender diversity. This Element focusses on the need for such rights. This Element explores the burgeoning of civil society organisations engaged in an emancipatory politics inclusive of sexuality and gender diversity, utilising rights politics as a platform for visibility, contestation and mobilisation. This Element focusses on the articulation of political struggle through a shared set of rights claims, which in turn relates to shared experiences of violence and discrimination, and a visceral demand and hope for change. ![]() Service in the AI Era: Science, Logic, and Architecture Perspectives by Jim Spohrer, Paul P.

Winterburn English | August 1, 2013 | ISBN: 1783060263 | 232 pages | EPUB | 1.15 Mb Far from merely recycling what we already know about certain paradoxes, this book breaks entirely new ground by providing what everyone really wants: solutions. The king of all paradoxes is the Liar ('This statement is false.' If it is true, it is false; if it is false, it is true), which in its earliest form is over two and a half thousand years old. Throughout all this time it has resisted every attempt to fully understand it. This work finally unlocks the secrets of the Liar, exposing principles, patterns and formulae that have long lain hidden. Several other important paradoxes also come under the logical searchlight and they too surrender their treasures. Though paradoxes are inherently difficult, this book approaches them in a clear and entertaining manner, using plain English. Secrets of the Paradox is written for the general reader, yet is sufficiently rigorous to satisfy the demands of the professional philosopher. If you relish an intellectual challenge, this book is for you! ![]() Secret To Capturing Great Photography: Advice And Guidance For Photographers by Anneliese Ratledge English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09LYGLQSK | 125 pages | EPUB | 0.98 Mb You spend a lot of money buying a DSLR Camera.

![]() Edward H. Peeples, "Scalawag: A White Southerner's Journey through Segregation to Human Rights Activism" English | ISBN: 0813935393 | 2014 | 248 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Scalawag tells the surprising story of a white working-class boy who became an unlikely civil rights activist. Born in 1935 in Richmond, where he was sent to segregated churches and schools, Ed Peeples was taught the ethos and lore of white supremacy by every adult in his young life. That message came with an equally cruel one―that, as the child of a wage-earning single mother, he was destined for failure. |
