The Stag and Hen Weekend is the story of Phil and Helen, a couple in their thirties about to commit their lives to one another . . . that is of course if they can just manage to get through their respective stag and hen weekends (his: Amsterdam; hers: a country house and day spa in the Peak District) without falling apart. Told in the unique form of two separate stories that have common characters as well as themes and conclusion, The Stag and Hen Weekend can be read from front to back or from back to front putting the reader in the driver's seat as to which story they wish to read first. Feisty, fun and thought provoking.

Being asked to be a best man is a great honour... but there's the terrifying prospect of giving the speech. There's the stag party to organise, but where do you start? Then there are all those other duties, not to mention the general support you'll need to give the groom. Pretty soon you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and start to wonder how you can get out of it. Well I'm afraid that's generally not an option, as in this case the groom is like Don Corleone in the Godfather: he has made you an offer you can't refuse. This book will help you rise to the challenge. Written in an informal and lively style it guides you through all your duties from comprehensively exploring the options for the stag party to ensuring you are fully prepared to deliver a great speech on the day (to help with this the book includes 10 original, entertaining and inventive sample speeches). Its detailed guidance should ensure that anyone chosen to be best man will be able to fulfil the role with confidence and in doing so really enjoy the experience.

The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang offers the ultimate record of modern, post WW2 American Slang. The 25,000 entries are accompanied by citations that authenticate the words as well as offer examples of usage from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, television shows, musical lyrics, and Internet user groups. Etymology, cultural context, country of origin and the date the word was first used are also provided. In terms of content, the cultural transformations since 1945 are astounding. Television, computers, drugs, music, unpopular wars, youth movements, changing racial sensitivities and attitudes towards sex and sexuality are all substantial factors that have shaped culture and language. This new edition includes over 500 new headwords collected with citations from the last five years, a period of immense change in the English language, as well as revised existing entries with new dating and citations. No term is excluded on the grounds that it might be considered offensive as a racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or any kind of slur. This dictionary contains many entries and citations that will, and should, offend. Rich, scholarly and informative, The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English is an indispensable resource for language researchers, lexicographers and translators.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

Yan Huang's highly successful textbook on pragmatics - the study of language in use - has been fully revised and updated in this second edition. It includes a brand new chapter on reference, a major topic in both linguistics and the philosophy of language. Chapters have also been updated to include new material on upward and downward entailment, current debates about conversational implicature, impoliteness, emotional deixis, contextualism versus semantic minimalism, and the elimination of binding conditions. The book draws on data from English and a wide range of the world's languages, and shows how pragmatics is related to the study of semantics, syntax, and sociolinguistics and to such fields as the philosophy of language, linguistic anthropology, and artificial intelligence. Professor Huang includes exercises and essay topics at the end of each chapter, and offers guidance and suggested solutions at the end of the volume. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this new edition will continue to be an ideal textbook for students of linguistics, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of language in philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and computer science.

Life in the 21st century is tough due to the conflict between Jelvias and Humans. But Courtney, once consumed in a violent relationship, thought that was the least of her problems. But she escaped Greg and moved in with her best friend, Macy, telling her only the bare minimum of what happened. Macy has also been hiding a secret and hasn’t told Courtney how embroiled she is in the Jelvain culture. And although worried about her friend, she’s more worried about herself when Jelvian boss, Aldarn, takes an interest in her. She’s had enough of dangerous men. Courtney escapes by returning to her childhood home in Sleepy Name to be with her mum. But unbeknown to Courtney, two men followed her to Cornwall. Greg. Aldarn. They say that out of fear, the abused may settle for someone “safe” or who isn’t right. Courtney is going to make the biggest mistake of her life.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Those who haven’t discovered Elizabeth George . . . should rush to read Playing for the Ashes.”—Us “The story begins with my father, actually, and the fact that I’m the one who’s answerable for his death. It was not my first crime, as you will see, but it is the one my mother couldn’t forgive.” Acclaimed author Elizabeth George reveals the even darker truth behind this startling confession in Playing for the Ashes, a rich tale of passion, murder, and love in which Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers once again find themselves embroiled in a case where nothing—and no one—is really what it seems. Intense, suspenseful, and brilliantly written, Playing for the Ashes is “a treasure” (Cosmopolitan).
