Fictional sex scenes are about more than who put what where. We'll explore things that writers should keep in mind, and how authors can use the ways their characters think about and engage in sex to create more fully rounded characters and even better stories.

Without language, not much else would exist: no writing, no computer ¿ as a matter of fact, no technical or medical progress that make our lives less painful, and easier indeed; but also not some horrors that characterize our world. In fact, language is what defines humans and distinguishes them from other living beings ¿ and is the basis of all other developments. How is it possible that something as complex and fascinating as 'language' has come into being at all? How does language 'work'? And how did it develop? What is common to all languages ¿ and why are there so many? Further questions are how man began to write, and how printing developed ¿ in which languages? Why not in any language? And does this teach us anything for further developments? In trying to answer these and other questions, we experience an exciting history of scientific research.

Reference Guides to Rhetoric & CompositionEditors: Charles Bazerman, Anis Bawarshi, & Mary Jo ReiffWRITING KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER: THEORY, RESEARCH, PEDAGOGY develops a capacious understanding of transfer in writing studies, tracing the distinct ways transfer has been engaged in various disciplinary fields and drawing connections among similar threads of inquiry. Working from a large-scale, collaborative analysis of some of the most salient long-term debates around transfer, this book guides scholars to link long and broad transfer conversations, attend to troublesome transfer problems in their teaching or research, and support both amplitude (more capacious understandings of writing transfer) and specificity (more detailed and relevant treatments of the term) in research on the transfer of writing knowledge. In addition to a detailed synthesis of multiple disciplines' treatment of transfer, the book offers five themes developed during a rigorous transdisciplinary reading of approximately seven hundred books and articles on transfer from disciplines including cognitive psychology and situated learning; sports, medical, and aviation education; second language writing; and school-to-work research, among others. Together the themes capture the interdependent relations among transfer's actors, influences, contexts, and outcomes. They also provide new frames for better understanding learners' varied and even paradoxical motivations for writing. Ultimately, the book offers value and kinship across disciplines to suggest new transfer questions, lines of inquiry, and theoretical and methodological commitments.Rebecca S.

Freimaurer verwenden im Wesentlichen die Sprache der Symbole. Dennoch ist es empfehlenswert, sich einen Grundschatz an speziellen englischen, vielleicht auch französischen oder spanischen Vokabeln anzueignen, um sich in der Weltbruderkette ohne größere Missverständnisse bewegen zu können.Gerade das Englische, sozusagen als «Ursprache» der Freimaurerei, ist prädestiniert dafür, in den meisten Logen und von vielen Brüdern verstanden zu werden.Jedoch ist die freimaurerische Terminologie sehr speziell und reichhaltig, mit vielen symbolischen Bezügen, und so sollte man sich nicht ohne Weiteres an die Übersetzungen halten, die von profanen Wörterbüchern oder Webseiten verwendet werden. Manfred Sandner hat deshalb dieses wertvolle masonische Wörterbuch für Übersetzungen vom Deutschen ins Englische und umgekehrt konzipiert und verfasst.

After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Ellen Estilai and her family attempt to leave Tehran, their home of nine years. At the airport, her Iranian husband is inexplicably prevented from leaving. As he confronts hostile colleagues and the Islamic Republic's opaque bureaucracy, Ellen examines their lives, trying to understand what might have brought them to this point. Exit Prohibited is a story of a complex Iran, at once welcoming and hostile, progressive and traditional, enamored of and distrustful of the West-an Iran as complex as Estilai's relationship to it.

The eleven chapters in this international volume draw on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to focus our attention on medieval and early modern things (ca. 700¿1600). The range of things includes actual objects (the Altenburg Crucifixion, a copy of Hieronymus Brunschwig¿s Liber de arte distillandi, a pilgrim¿s letter), imagined objects (a prayed cloak for the Virgin Mary), and narrative objects in texts (the Alliterative Morte Arthure, the Ordene de Chevalerie, Hartmann von Aue¿s Erec, Heinrich of Neustadt¿s Apollonius of Tyre, Luís de Camões¿s Os Lusíadas, and the vita of Saint Guthlac). Each in its own way, the papers consider how things do what they do in texts and art, often foregrounding the intersection between the material and the immaterial by exploring such questions as how things act, how they express power, and how texts and images represent them. Medieval and early modern things are repeatedly shown to be more than symbolic or passive, they are agentive and determinative in both their intra- and extradiegetic worlds. The things that are addressed in this volume are varied and are embedded, or entangled, in different contexts and societies, and yet they share a concerted engagement in human life.

A critical reading of both literary and non-literary German texts published between 1490 and 1540 exposes a populist backlash against perceived social and political disruptions, the dramatic expansion of spatial and epistemological horizons, and the growth of global trade networks. These texts opposed the twin phenomena of pluralization and secularization, which promoted a Humanist tolerance for ambiguity, boosted globalization and spatial expansion around 1500, and promoted new ways of imagining the world. Part I considers threats to the political order and the protestations against them, above all a vigorous defense of the common good. Part II traces the intellectual and epistemological upheaval triggered by the spatial discoveries and the new methods of visual and verbal representation of space. Part III examines the nationalistic backlash triggered by the rising global trade and related abusive trading practices and by perceived undue foreign influences. It is the basic premise of this book that the texts examined here protested the observed disruptions of the status quo and sought to reestablish a stable imperial order in the face of political and social upheaval and of the felt cultural decline of the German nation.

Das Werk der Nobelpreisträgerin Elfriede Jelinek hat die Möglichkeiten literarischer Ästhetik in den letzten fünf Jahrzehnten entscheidend erweitert ¿ fast durchgängig durch die polemische Infragestellung und Aberkennung geltender Doxa.Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes beleuchten an ausgewählten Beispielen aus unterschiedlichen Werkphasen die ästhetischen Provokationskräfte der Jelinekschen Werke und rücken sie damit in den Kontext der künstlerischen Avantgarde, deren Destruktionen im literarischen Feld immer auch zu produktiven Revisionen geführt haben. In einer solchen Optik wird sichtbar, in welchem hohen Ausmaß die spezifisch ästhetische Kampfansage der Texte vornehmlich der Kunst selbst gilt und zentrale Bereiche der Poetologie, Werkpolitik, Autorschaft, Intertextualität und Intermedialität umfasst. Die Provokationen der Kunst, so erweist sich, gehen einher mit einer neuen Auffassung von Literatur, die sich nicht zuletzt in der ästhetischen Figuration der Texte selbst zeigt.

Kaum ein Egodokument ist heute verbreiteter und selbstverständlicher als der Lebenslauf. Unter welchen Bedingungen aber ist diese Form der Selbstbuchhaltung entstanden? Ihre Geschichte reicht, wie diese Studie zeigt, bis ins Preußen des 18. Jahrhunderts zurück. In der preußischen Verwaltung macht der Lebenslauf nicht nur vergangene Lebensereignisse schreib- und lesbar; fortan bahnt er als ¿Bewerbungsunterlage" auch Karrieren an und erweist sich damit als elementares Werkzeug im Wettstreit um soziale Ränge.

Preferences form a central concept of human categorization. They play an important role in disciplines ranging from psychology to economics and philosophy, from evolutionary biology to artificial intelligence, and, notably for this volume, in linguistics. This volume provides both theoretical and empirical contributions from linguistics to this interdisciplinary field of research.

Efficient, simple, and empirically grounded, Lucien Tesnière¿s principles of structural syntax have remained to this day very popular among linguists. Far beyond the field of syntax itself, the Elements of Structural Syntax have found lasting echo in all branches of linguistics. This volume offers a contemporary appraisal of Tesnière¿s legacy.
