DOWNLOAD EBOOKIdeal for scholars and students of linguistics, discourse, stylistics and language play, this book explores the role of phonological motivation - sound symbolism and rhyme/alliteration - in English word-formation. It argues that the sound shape of words carries meaning for its users and also has a range of social and interactional functions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIs there too much violence in hip-hop music? What’s the difference between Kimberly Jones and the artist Lil' Kim? Is hip-hop culture a "black" thing? Is it okay for N.W.A. to call themselves niggaz and for Dave Chappelle to call everybody bitches? These witty, provocative essays ponder these and other thorny questions, linking the searing cultural issues implicit — and often explicit — in hip-hop to the weighty matters examined by the great philosophers of the past. The book shows that rap classics by Lauryn Hill, OutKast, and the Notorious B.I.G. can help uncover the meanings of love articulated in Plato's Symposium; that Rakim, 2Pac, and Nas can shed light on the conception of God's essence expressed in St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica; and explores the connection between Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg, and Hegel. Hip-Hop and Philosophy proves that rhyme and reason, far from being incompatible, can be mixed and mastered to contemplate life's most profound mysteries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author of such global bestsellers as Lolita and Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) is also one of the most controversial literary translators and translation theorists of modern time. In Between Rhyme and Reason, Stanislav Shvabrin discloses the complexity, nuance, and contradictions behind Nabokov's theory and practice of literalism to reveal how and why translation came to matter to Nabokov so much. Drawing on familiar as well as unknown materials, Shvabrin traces the surprising and largely unknown trajectory of Nabokov's lifelong fascination with translation to demonstrate that, for Nabokov, translation was a form of intellectual communion with his peers across no fewer than six languages. Empowered by Mikhail Bakhtin's insights into the interactive roots of literary creativity, Shvabrin's interpretative chronicle of Nabokov's involvement with translation shows how his dialogic encounters with others in the medium of translation left verbal vestiges on his own creations. Refusing to regard translation as a form of individual expression, Nabokov translated to communicate with his interlocutors, whose words and images continue to reverberate throughout his allusion-rich texts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHe excelled in his studies at Edison Jr. High and John C. Fremont H.S. in what was considered to be one of the most high risk areas of the city (South central L.A.) during a most fragile time of the civil rights era. His father was always by his side keeping both the CRIPS and the BLOODS (local gangs) at bay and his mentoring set in motion values that laid the solid foundation for his life. Upon graduating from high school he joined the Air Force to seek out his dream of becoming a jet fi ghter pilot. His initial responsibility was as an intelligence technician trained as an imagery interpreter and cartographic specialist. After serving seven and a half years in the USAF, he applied for and received a rare inter-service transfer to the U.S. Army to attend Army Flight School. Though a little short of becoming a jet fi ghter Pilot, he logged over 1000 hours of fl ight time in the HUEY, COBRA, KIOWA, and the TH- 55 (trainer) over the next six years as a combat and medical evacuation pilot. In 1987 following a Congressional Reduction in Forces, (RIF) he left the service.

The father of six girls and four boys and the proud grandfather of twenty-one grandchildren he now focuses on getting into print the legacy of his father's magnifi cent works of poetry and writings.
