The Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica provides comprehensive coverage of the major and subsidiary fields of Spanish linguistics. Entries are extensively cross-referenced and arranged alphabetically within three main sections: Part 1 covers linguistic disciplines, approaches and methodologies. Part 2 brings together the grammar of Spanish, including subsections on phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Part 3 brings together the historical, social and geographical factors in the evolution of Spanish. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the Spanish-speaking world the Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica is an indispensable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Spanish, and for anyone with an academic or professional interest in the Spanish language/Spanish linguistics.
The Romance languages offer unique potential for empirical analysis and methodological innovation within the vast field of linguistics, due to the survival of a large body of historical documentation, the rich diversity of dialects and languages, and the exceptional quality of the research undertaken to date. However, these same factors have led to an ever-increasing volume of material available for study, requiring the establishment of a shared canonical knowledge base. This companion offers a balanced overview of the core subjects and the methodology which make up the field of Romance linguistics. It provides a solid foundation in the discipline as well as easy and convenient access to highly-specialised areas of research by means of systematic references to the latest handbooks and encyclopedias. The companion is designed to be read from cover to cover or to be consulted for information on specific topics. Advanced students, early-career researchers, lecturers, specialists of other languages, philologists, and historians alike will all benefit from this accessible and up-to-date reference work, as it enables readers to contextualise any knowledge of the discipline they may already possess.
En este libro innovador, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, y Clare Aukofer, ofrecen un estudio completo pero sucinto de cómo y por qué la mente humana genera la creencia religiosa. Dr. Thomson, un psiquiatra muy respetado con credenciales y práctica en psiquiatría forense y psicología evolutiva, investiga metódicamente los componentes y las causas de las creencias religiosas de la misma manera que cualquier científico investigaría el movimiento de los cuerpos celestes o la evolución de la vida a través del tiempo, es decir, como un fenómeno puramente natural. Proporcionando evidencia convincente de la psicología, las neurociencias cognitivas, y otros campos relacionados, él, y la Sra. Aukofer, presentan un caso convincente de fácil acceso y con carácter excepcional que dios (es) fueron creados por el hombre, y no viceversa. Con este libro de bolsillo, el Dr. Thomson se establece como un pensador de lectura obligatoria y la voz líder en la primacía de la razón y de la ciencia sobre la superstición y la religión. In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer offer a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time—that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man—not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.
Este escrito nace de un encuentro personal con Dios. Es la metamorfosis de una vida oscura, triste, sinsentido, mediocre y dolorosa... a una vida plena, llena de luz, alegría, esperanza, amor...y paz! Yehuda (Judea) palabra griega que significa; Agradezco a Dios, Reconozco a Dios... ha sido el preámbulo de mi caminar hacia la tierra prometida.Como en antiguo, el pueblo de Israel, ejemplificando mi vida misma en un peregrinaje. Pasando por el desierto del crisol, y el éxodo.Para agradecer a Dios los acontecimientos de mi vida que me han llevado a encontrarme con EL, y Reconocerlo como mi único Señor. Éxodo 12,37"Peregrinación en el desierto como camino de purificación y encuentro de Yahvé con el pueblo."1 (18) Relacionando mi vida con la salida de Egipto, la Alianza del Sinaí, y la caminata de 40 años. Y justo a los 40 años inicia mi salida de Egipto, y la certeza de una promesa de salvación; liberándome de mis temores y dándole sentido a todos los acontecimientos vividos desde el vientre de mi madre hasta mi juventud... Como un presagio de fe y amor; surgidos de la Providencia Divina. Asimismo la historia de Israel; toma vida en mi historia, llevándome de la Esclavitud a la Libertad! Entrelazando la palabra de Dios, los mensajes, homilías de Juan Pablo II, Benedicto XVI, iluminando mi vida maravillosamente. Regresándome la alegría de vivir y una vida espiritual abundante. Grabando en mi corazón estas palabras: "Escucha, Israel: Yavé, nuestro Dios, es Yavé-único." 2 Dt.6: 5,9 (8) 1 Santa Biblia de Jerusalén 2 Santa Biblia de Jerusalén El autor
Klara Tammany is a professional Christian educator who goes about her calling with a joyous urgency. This book demonstrates her impassioned approach to religious instruction. She starts with the premise that ongoing Christian education must be central to a life of faith, and then proceeds from the corollary that baptism must be central to all Christian education. Eight group sessions focus repeatedly on water, first as a natural element necessary to life, then as a symbolic element necessary to spirituality. Gradually, through prayer, song, scripture, silence, poetry, visual arts, storytelling, group discussion, and personal reflection, water--as baptismal element--gains ascendancy. No longer mere, occasional refreshment, Living Water inundates, becomes life's very medium. This text makes for excellent catechumenal preparation but is intended for use by all Christians--those who are years into their journeys as well as those who are beginning. Designed for small groups of adult Episcopalians, the program is easily adaptable to other denominations, to one-on-one spiritual mentoring, to children, young adult, or intergenerational groups, and even to individuals for private meditation.
As we go about our daily lives, we create stories, weave poems, make magical moments, at times without realizing it. Some moments in time are worth revisiting while others are better left unexplored. However, those could be the ones that need further scrutiny and may hide deeper, more important themes in life. Our stories are like peering through an old-fashioned kaleidoscope, reflecting images of bits of colored glass constantly shifting, changing, creating new designs and patterns. Our memories are kaleidoscopes. Our stories are kaleidoscopes. Our lives are kaleidoscopes. So, what's your story? Use the prompts after each story or poem to journal your story as you make your way through life. Our journey is not yet over.
This beautifully illustrated book will begin to give the reader a glimpse into what Heaven will be like and what God has prepared for those of us who love Him and believe in His Son, Jesus! "What is Heaven Like, Mimi?" is based on the true story of Joy Brandt, born in 1929, and her near-death experience when she was 9 years old. Heaven is a real place and there are Biblical scriptures throughout the book to refer to. "I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:3
