Book excerpt: The book is a compilation of different erudite articles already published by the author in various scholarly journals and other edited volumes. The essays are a study and an enquiry into a variety of dramaturgical methods and processes that contribute to the theatrical dynamics of the Shakespeare plays. All the articles are concerned with the art of playmaking, with an examination of the tools and devices used by Shakespeare which contribute to the dramatic life of the play but also articulate the moral and sociocultural ideas of the time. There has not been much critical work in this area before and the book is one of the first of its kind. The book unravels the function and effect of many poetic, rhetorical, topological, visual and theatrical devices which Shakespeare exploits in his plays for a dramatic effect. Together, the essays present an idea of the multidimensional totality of theatre language and communication which Shakespeare achieves through a masterful orchestration of dramatic resources. The book will be of immense value to students, scholars and researchers in the fields of theatre techniques and art, literature in general and drama in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Asian languages, mainly Indo-Aryan and Dravidian, have become a focus of interest in the formal study of language as a natural consequence of the research program of the Principle and Parameters approach and an enforced interest in exploring the parametrical space of human language. The contributions to the present volume combine theoretical reasoning in syntax and phonology with a comparative research agenda in which South Asian languages figure prominently. The topics range from issues of clause structure, serial verb constructions, cleft- and question formation, to the question of what the proper syntactic format of modification should be, issues of binding theory and raising, and issues of complementation, the clausal periphery and clausal typing. The collection of articles concludes with two chapters on Dravidian and comparative phonology and a chapter on the shaping of phonological awareness by different writing systems. The authors and the editors devote this piece of work to Professor K.A. Jayaseelan, one of present-day India s most influential linguists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madhu Natisar Nath is a Rajasthani farmer with no formal schooling. He is also a singer, a musician, and a storyteller. At the center of A Carnival of Parting are Madhu Nath's oral performances of two linked tales about the legendary Indian kings, Bharthari of Ujjain and Gopi Chand of Bengal. Both characters, while still in their prime, leave thrones and families to be initiated as yogis—a process rich in adventure and melodrama, one that offers unique insights into popular Hinduism's view of world renunciation. Ann Grodzins Gold presents these living oral epic traditions as flowing narratives, transmitting to Western readers the pleasures, moods, and interactive dimensions of a village bard's performance. Three introductory chapters and an interpretive afterword, together with an appendix on the bard's language by linguist David Magier, supply A Carnival of Parting with a full range of ethnographic, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Gold gives a frank and engaging portrayal of the bard Madhu Nath and her work with him. The tales are most profoundly concerned, Gold argues, with human rather than divine realities. In a compelling afterword, she highlights their thematic emphases on politics, love, and death. Madhu Nath's vital colloquial telling of Gopi Chand and Bharthari's stories depicts renunciation as inevitable and interpersonal attachments as doomed, yet celebrates human existence as a "carnival of parting."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: English came to India with the East India Company in the seventeenth century. Lord Wellesley consolidated the rule of the East India Company around 1820 with his victories over the Marathas and Tipu Sultan. Hence the times were propitiate for the introduction of English language in India in education and administration. The two landmarks for the English Language Teaching in India were the famous Minute on Indian Education (1835) by Thomas Babington Macaulay and The Wood's Despatch (1858) by Charles Wood. Thereafter English became the most important subject of higher study in India. Much was written about the study and teaching of English Language and Literature in India both by the natives and English-men. English Language teaching even after achieving Independence (1947) is continuing as an important subject of study as India's window on the world. In spite of the importance of the subject, there has been no bibliographical control. Bibliography and documentation are important tools to provide the total intellectual output that was written and published in the field. They reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the subject. They are the pathfinders for the further study and research of the study. Lack of these tools is a bane to the teachers and scholars. There is no bibliography so far on English Language and Literature teaching in India. The editors with their long experience at CIEFL undertook this arduous work to fill-in the gap. It is a happy thing that this reference tool is published on the occasion of the completion of 40 years of the establishment of the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad and the Silver Jubilee of its deemed university status. It is hoped that this bibliography will be of great help to teachers, students and scholars in the field of ELLT.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dressing Up for the Carnival, Carol Shields distills her characteristic wisdom, elegance, and insouciant humor in twenty-two luminous stories. A wealth of surprises and contrasts, this collection ranges from the lyricism of "Weather," in which a couple's life is thrown into chaos when the National Association of Meteorologists goes on strike, to the swampy sexuality of "Eros," in which a room in a Parisian hotel on the verge of ruin is the catalyst for passion, to the brave confidence of "A Scarf"-new for this collection-which chronicles the realities of a fledging author's book tour. Playful, graceful, acutely observed, and generous of spirit, these stories will delight her devoted fans and win her new converts as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book brings together a variety of articles from Europe and Asia in order to raise questions about the applicability of European models of bilingualism and bilingual education to the linguistic, social and educational realities of Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. The result is a profound rethinking of accepted views concerning multilingualism in Europe and worldwide. In particular, many of the contributors raise doubts about the applicability of widely-held views on language pedagogy associated with the teaching of English as a foreign language and the so-called communicative approach to language learning to the Asian reality.
