      Among Neighbours

      The strangest relationship of our lives

      by Bernd Imgrund

      There are many things in life that we are (more or less) free to choose: our circle of friends, our workplace, our place of residence. However, we have to take some communities as they come: We cannot choose our family or our neighbours, for example. Why this does not only lead to the much-vaunted idyllic sense of belonging and what tensions forced social relationships can cause: This is the subject of this fascinating collection of essays by Bernd Imgrund. It sheds light on a piece of social history that we all know from our own experience: who hasn't had an argument with their immediate neighbour or made fun of the residents of the neighbouring district? But it is by no means only negative aspects that characterise neighbourly relations. Pride in one's neighbourhood, help within a village community: the many advantages of a social community, its importance and its representation in art and literature have also found their way into this book.

After learning the basics and rules, learners can perform self-diagnosis of the accuracy and speed of pronunciation based on the colloquial and literary words categorized by difficulty and by subject. This book will help learners start the study from the pronunciation principles and eventually expand the study to improve speaking and listening skills. ▪ A systematic 3-step structure, composed of basics, rules and recitation The basics step will help learners study the fundamental Korean pronunciations starting from the principles applied in creating hangeul. The rules part will help learners study pronunciation rules applied between syllables. In the last step, learners can study the applications of these rules and practice to read texts out following the actual dialogue speed. ▪ Vivid illustrations and detailed English explanations to effectively study complicated pronunciations Illustrations are detailed and vivid, how the speech organs are moved when articulating. These will allow learners to compare and study pronunciations that they are particularly struggling with. All explanations are offered in English so that even Korean learners with less than intermediate proficiency can easily understanding the contents. ▪ 20 texts for recitation with diverse materials to learn culture and improve fluency The writing materials are closely linked to real life, and total 20 texts are offered both in colloquial and literary styles.

      Hawaiian Language

      Past, Present, Future

      by Albert J. Schütz

      With color and black-and-white illustrations throughout, Hawaiian Language: Past, Present, Future presents aspects of Hawaiian and its history that are rarely treated in language classes. The major characters in this book make up a diverse cast: Dutch merchants, Captain Cook’s naturalist and philologist William Anderson, ‘Ōpūkaha‘ia (the inspiration for the Hawaiian Mission), the American lexicographer Noah Webster, philologists in New England, missionary-linguists and their Hawaiian consultants, and many minor players. The account begins in prehistory, placing the probable origins of the ancestor of Polynesian languages in mainland Asia. An evolving family tree reflects the linguistic changes that took place as these people moved east. The current versions are examined from a Hawaiian-centered point of view, comparing the sound system of the language with those of its major relatives in the Polynesian triangle. More recent historical topics begin with the first written samples of a Polynesian language in 1616, which led to the birth of the idea of a widespread language family. The next topic is how the Hawaiian alphabet was developed. The first efforts suffered from having too many letters, a problem that was solved in 1826 through brilliant reasoning by its framers and their Hawaiian consultants. The opposite problem was that the alphabet didn’t have enough letters: analysts either couldn’t hear or misinterpreted the glottal stop and long vowels. The end product of the development of the alphabet—literacy—is more complicated than some statistics would have us believe. As for its success or failure, both points of view, from contemporary observers, are presented. Still, it cannot be denied that literacy had a tremendous and lasting effect on Hawaiian culture. The last part of the book concentrates on the most-used Hawaiian reference works—dictionaries. It describes current projects that combine print and manuscript collections on a searchable website. These projects can include the growing body of manuscript and print material that is being made available through recent and ongoing research. As for the future, a proposed monolingual dictionary would allow users to avoid an English bridge to understanding, and move directly to a definition that includes Hawaiian cultural features and a Hawaiian worldview.

      by Carlos Eduardo de Magalhães

      Super-man, Non-man, Carol and The Invisibles - Novel - Marcos is an architect who, as a student, used to write phrases on the walls of his room such as A man must carry his own suitcase and make his own bed. He lives in São Paulo, in the same building as another Marcos, who is a famous actor. They also have Carol's presence in common. Psychologist, she is married to Marcos architect and is the best friend of Marcos actor, with whom she shared an intense adolescence. Early in the evening, the two Marcos confide to a tired Carol about discoveries they had made. One tells her that he has superpowers, is a superman, sure that he started to crystallize after he threw his arm towards a toothbrush holder and saw him fall, without however touching him. The husband, discouraged, defines himself as a non-man, not yet very clear about what that means. In parallel, five excellent high school students who live in poor neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro steal copper wires underground in the city. They call themselves the Invisibles and slide on their skateboards, slang, anger and dreams through the city streets. Such disparate everyday experiences lived in metropolises. The reality and virtual reality of a video game with its impossible to defeat avatar. The memory of events in distant India, which are not known whether invented or real, but lived in any way. The airports and hotel rooms without identity that are the same in all parts of the planet. With contemporary elements, which define and are defined by this complex, contradictory, powerful and fragile man of the century XXI, the book covers three days that will mark the life of each character. Their ideas of being in this world full of walls and phrases and toothbrush holders will be profoundly modified.
