The Koine Greek particles ¿¿¿¿ and ¿¿¿ have been traditionally translated as either 'behold' or 'lo'. But such mechanical renderings are inadequate as they suggest these particles can be reduced to a single meaning or function. As argued in this monograph, these particles actually have several distinct uses that are conditioned by their linguistic context, and a translator should find natural idioms in the receptor language that match the meaning and function of these Greek uses.Based on a Construction Grammar approach, Bailey's analysis of all 200 New Testament instances of ¿¿¿¿ and 29 instances of ¿¿¿, as well as many from the LXX and extra-biblical materials, differentiates at least five uses. Examples of suitable and unsuitable renderings of the five uses are illustrated from 31 published translations in English and other European languages. The differences in the five uses are reflected most clearly in their functional differences in deixis and information structure. Although the analysis draws on insights from the theories of Construction Grammar and Cognitive Linguistics, familiarity with these theories is unnecessary to benefit from the study. This analysis also serves as a major refinement of the entries of these particles in the standard lexicon, BDAG.Biblical studies scholars, exegetes, Bible translators, students of Koine and Ancient Greek, linguists interested in functional and typological linguistics, pastors, and others will benefit from reading this analysis and following the example of its analytical approach with other elements of the language.

Multilingualism refers to the usage of more than one language, by a speaker or a group of speakers. It facilitates trade, cultural exchanges and globalization. In contemporary times, the Internet has made it easier to access information, which results in an increase in the number of people who speak multiple languages. There are various benefits of learning multiple languages. These can be categorized as cognitive, economic and auditory benefits. The first language which a person learns has an impact on the grammar and pronunciation of the languages which are learned later. It can make the learning of a new language difficult, especially if the language is learned later during the life. The topics included in this book on multilingualism studied from a grammatical perspective are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this area of study. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by the book.

The emergent culture of crime writings in late 19th century colonial Bengal (India) is an interesting testimony to how literature is shaped by various material forces including the market. This book deals with true crime writings of the late 1800s published by 'lowbrow publishing houses' - infamous for publishing 'sensational' and the 'vulgar' literature - which had an avid bhadralok (genteel) readership.The volume focuses on select translations of true crime writings by Bakaullah and Priyanath Mukhopadhyay who worked as darogas (Detective Inspectors) in the police department in mid-late nineteenth century colonised Bengal. These published accounts of cases investigated by them are among the very first manifestations of the crime genre in India. The writings reflect their understandings of criminality and guilt, as well as negotiations with colonial law and policing. Further, through a selection of cases in which women make an appearance either as victims or offenders, (or sometimes as both,) this book sheds light on the hidden gendered experiences of the time, often missing in mainstream Bangla literature.Combining a love for suspense with critical readings of a cultural phenomenon, this book will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of comparative literature, translation studies, gender studies, literary theory, cultural studies, modern history, and lovers of crime fiction from all disciplines.

This anthology demonstrates the significance of Raja Rao's writing in the broader spectrum of anti-colonial, postcolonial, and diasporic writing in the 20th century. In addition to highlighting Rao's significant presence in Indian writing, the volume presents a range of previously unpublished material which contextualises Rao's work within 20th-century modernist, postmodernist, and postcolonial trends. Exploring both his fictional and non-fictional works, Reading India in a Transnational Era engages with issues of subaltern agency and national belonging, authenticity, subjectivity, internationalism, multicultural politics, postcolonialism, and literary and cultural representation through language and translation.A literary volume that discusses gender and identity on both socio-political grounds, apart from dealing with Rao's linguistic experimentations in a transnational era, will be of interest among scholars and researchers of English, postcolonial and world literature, cultural theory, and Asian studies.
