Synopsis

In "Lectures on the Science of Language," F. Max Müller embarks on a comprehensive exploration of linguistics, emphasizing the relationship between language, thought, and culture. Through a series of engaging lectures, Müller employs a clear and accessible style, merging philosophical inquiry with empirical observation. He critiques the prevailing theories of his time while offering a systematic examination of language acquisition and its evolutionary significance. The work is set against the backdrop of 19th-century philology, where the study of language was emerging as a crucial discipline in understanding human civilization. F. Max Müller, a renowned philologist and a pivotal figure in the development of comparative linguistics, was profoundly influenced by the cultural narratives of his time. His extensive travels in India and his engagement with Sanskrit literature imbued him with a deep appreciation for linguistic diversity. Müller's academic journey, rooted in the intersection of language and spirituality, equipped him to address the complexities surrounding linguistic evolution and its implications on social identity, shaping his arguments in this seminal work. For scholars, students, and language enthusiasts alike, "Lectures on the Science of Language" serves as an indispensable resource. It not only offers foundational insights into linguistic science but also encourages a broader understanding of humanity's interconnectedness through language. This profound exploration will enrich any reader's appreciation of the nuanced relationship between language and cultural identity.

    We broke our new series on learning Thai down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Thai. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Thai decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Thai speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Thai. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Thai at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Thai, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    -Asking about family 
    -Asking about relationship status 
    -Expressing frequency

    "An enthralling and profoundly relevant book." ―Salman Rushdie 
    "I adored reading these joyful, illuminating, and engrossing journeys through ancient literature." ―Madeline Miller 
    From the most celebrated translator of our time comes a visionary exploration of how translation reshapes and enriches our understanding of the ancient world. 
    Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and translation experience, Emily Wilson―renowned translator of Homer's Odyssey and Iliad―explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over "foreignizing" and "domesticizing" translation styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to listeners with no classics background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.
