Book Description
For both readers and writers of poetry, here is a concise and engaging introduction to sound, rhyme, meter, and scansion - and why they matter. "The dance, " in the case of this brief and luminous book, refers to the interwoven pleasures of sound and sense to be found in some of the most celebrated and beautiful poems in the English language, from Shakespeare to Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Frost. With a poet's ear and a poet's grace of expression, Mary Oliver helps us understand what makes a metrical poem work - and enables readers, as only she can, to "enter the thudding deeps and the rippling shallows of sound-pleasure and rhythm-pleasure."

Book Description
Let's be realistic. In this technology-driven era of computer communication, texting, and Facebook stalking, few remember how to interface face-to-face. The art of communication has become more Picasso than Rembrandt, and "Club Rules" are quickly fading into an era of things people used to know. This is unfortunate and need not be! In The Club Rules: Pubs and Clubs, Boys and Girls, Authors Johnny Mac and Kimberly D. refocus us on these important rules with an updated twist from both the male and female perspective. Whether you're young or old, recently single or recently divorced, following the rules outlined in The Club Rules will not only help you successfully navigate through the club scene, but will also guarantee you a blast while there. About the Authors Johnny Mac has been single from his late thirties to his early forties, and loving every bit of it! Being single with the confidence and freedom he has in his forties has allowed him to utilize the same social skills for the night life that he employs every day in building his own business. Kimberly D. first discovered the intricate and involved world of pubs and clubs while studying abroad in the UK. Through her experiences in one particular pub there, she learned that she no longer needed to base her self-confidence on the amount of attention she was receiving from others. Through her clubbing experiences, she is constantly learning different techniques and better ways to handle herself to ensure a fun evening.

Book Description
During the first two decades of the eighteenth century, two evolving dance-historical realms intersected—theory and practice. While the French produced works on notation, choreography, and repertoire, German dance writers responded with an important body of work on dance theory. This book examines the reception of French dance in Germany.

Book Description
Guiding the work of most linguists and philosophers of language today is the assumption that language is governed by prescriptive normative rules. Many believe that it is of the essence of thought itself to follow rules, rules of inference determining the intentional contents of our concepts,and that these rules originate as internalized rules of language. However, exactly what it is for there to be such things as normative rules of language remains distressingly unclear. From what source do these norms flow? What sanctions enforce them? What happens, exactly, if you don't follow therules? How do children learn the rules?Ruth Millikan presents a radicallly different way of viewing the partial regularities that language displays, the norms and conventions of language. The central norms applying to language, like those norms of function and behavior that account for the survival and proliferation of biologicaltraits, are non-evaluative norms. Specific linguistic forms survive and are reproduced together with co-operative hearer responses because, in a critical mass of cases, these patterns of production and response benefit both speakers and hearers. Conformity is needed only often enough to ensure thatthe co-operative use constituting the norm - the convention - continues to be copied and hence continues to characterize some interactions of some speaker-hearer pairs.What needs to be reproduced for discursive language forms to survive, it turns out, is not specific conceptual roles but only satisfaction conditions coupled to essential elements of hearer responses. An uncompromising rejection of conceptual analysis as a tool in philosophy results. At the sametime the distinction between the propositional content and the force of a linguistic utterance comes into very sharp focus, force emerging as essential to the creation of content rather than as something added to content. The distinction between illocutionary and perlocutionary force, thedistinction between linguistic meaning and speaker meaning, and the semantics/pragmatics distinction are each illuminated in new and crisper ways. On the model proposed, neither the intentionality of thought nor the intentionality of language is derived from the other. Processes involved inunderstanding language are not Gricean but more like direct perception of the world as mediated, for example, through the natural signs contained in the structured light that allows vision. There are also startling implications for pragmatics, and for how children learn language.
