The lesser tragedy of death

"The highly anticipated debut poetry collection from the best-selling author of Dreaming in Cuban. In a collection of poems that is part biography, part dialogue, part history and part chorale, The Lesser Tragedy of Death aims to capture the ephemeral, brutal life of one unnamed "brother." His sister’s voice provides the narrative thrust-probing, questioning, regretful-revisiting scenes from their past and arguing with her brother over the family legacy and her complicity in his demise. What happened that led this gentle, generous boy to a world of drugs, homelessness, and crime? What upheavals, personal and political, spun their lives in such radically different directions? Who bears responsibility? The sister tries to piece together their stories from discordant shards, hearsay, speculation, witnessing. Her reports are contested by the brother, corroborated by unreliable others, undermining the nature of inquiry itself."–

Rarely Used Structures and Lesser-Studied Languages Insights from the Margins


Free Download Emily Manetta, "Rarely Used Structures and Lesser-Studied Languages: Insights from the Margins "
English | ISBN: 0367236303 | 2019 | 160 pages | EPUB, PDF | 14 MB + 5 MB
This book investigates a set of marginal syntactic structures which have been singularly influential in the development of generative theory, spotlighting lesser-studied languages of the Indic family while emphasizing implications for linguistic theory more broadly. After first defining what constitutes a marginal syntactic structure, this book then undertakes a micro-comparative approach to the rigorous exploration of fundamental properties of human language, including displacement, ellipsis, unbounded dependencies, and the role of clausal peripheries in such languages as Kashmiri and Romani. In so doing, Manetta interrogates and ultimately affirms the relevance of marked and marginal strings which have proven to be crucial to generative syntax while simultaneously advocating for the role of lesser-studied languages to the study of such properties. This book is key reading for graduate students and researchers in linguistics and syntax more specifically, as well as those interested in the study of Indic languages.
