Language Building Blocks

Studying Korean can be intimidating. Not only do you face the usual challenges of learning a new language-vocabulary, grammar, verb tenses-but you also have to contend with a non-Roman script. The ext

In this volume, first published in 1963, Cambridge lecturer R. G. Popperwell provides a fascinating and highly accessible guide to the correct pronunciation of Norwegian. In a text rich with examples and useful explanations, Popperwell introduces the reader to the intricacies of the Norwegian spoken in both Oslo specifically, and eastern Norway in general. Following an introductory chapter which looks at the organs of speech and their constitution, Popperwell talks the reader through the pronunciation of Norwegian vowels and diphthongs before furnishing them with the knowledge required to turn an understanding of written Norwegian into a successful cognition of the way the language is spoken. Popperwell writes on the syllabic qualities of the language, the stresses most regularly used and the rhythmic qualities of spoken Norwegian. This book is both thorough and engaging, and will be of great use to any student of the Norwegian language.

The wildly entertaining new novel from the bestselling author of Water for Elephants. Isabel Duncan, a scientist at the Great Ape Language Lab, doesn't understand people, but apes she gets—especially the bonobos Sam, Bonzi, Lola, Mbongo, Jelani, and Makena, who are capable of reason and communication through American Sign Language. Isabel feels more comfortable in their world than she's ever felt among humans—until she meets John Thigpen, a very married reporter writing a human interest feature. But when an explosion rocks the lab, John's piece turns into the story of a lifetime—and Isabel must connect with her own kind to save her family of apes from a new form of human exploitation.
