A concise overview of key findings and ideas in sign language phonology and its contributions to related fields, including historical linguistics, morphology, prosody, language acquisition and language creation. Working on sign languages not only provides important new insights on familiar issues, but also poses a whole new set of questions about phonology, because of the use of the visual communication modality.

Why do some people radiate energy when they speak whilst others fizzle out before they've even begun? How do some writers make our hearts race whilst others make us feel like closing the book? Why are some work colleagues seemingly more influential, or funnier, than others? Top speechwriter Simon Lancaster explains that the secret of brilliant communication is all about making connections. Whether in speech or in writing, at a networking event or in an email, at work or at home, the best communicators find ways of connecting with their audiences. More than that, they are able to connect the personal with the universal, the past with the present, the abstract with the everyday, the visual with the verbal, the moral with the mundane. Like hot-wiring a car, connections are able to bypass logic and access our deepest instincts and emotions, generating an instant neurological reaction. Connect reveals the secret art of making connections in eleven engaging, revelatory chapters. It blends cu

A detailed, impassioned argument from an early childhood development specialist that will change the way we think about the practical importance of the parent-child bond Weaving together neuroscience, strategies for parents, and policy prescriptions with powerful stories of adversity and hope, Dr. Dana Suskind, founder of the Thirty Million Words Initiative, offers a revelatory new look at early childhood and the often-unrecognized essentials for optimal brain development that parents are in the best position to deliver. Written with award-winning science writer Lydia Denworth, Parent Nation uses brain science to lead us ultimately to a society delivering far more robust support for the first years of life. The natural follow-up to Dr. Suskind's Thirty Million Words (Dutton, 2015), which revolutionized the way we understand parent-child communication, showing how important it is for children to hear as many spoken words as they can, Parent Nation goes further, definitively describing t

Images relating to imperial power were produced all over the Roman Empire at every social level, and even images created at the centre were constantly remade as they were reproduced, reappropriated, and reinterpreted across the empire. This book employs the language of social dynamics, drawn from economics, sociology, and psychology, to investigate how imperial imagery was embedded in local contexts. Patrons and artists often made use of the universal visual language of empire to navigate their own local hierarchies and relationships, rather than as part of direct communication with the central authorities, and these local interactions were vital in reinforcing this language. The chapters range from large-scale monuments adorned with sculpture and epigraphy to quotidian oil lamps and lead tokens and cover the entire empire from Hispania to Egypt, and from Augustus to the third century CE.
