Beschreibung

Myth Language explores the hidden linguistic structures that give power and longevity to enduring myths across cultures. It reveals how specific linguistic patterns, such as recurring motifs and archetypal characters, create narratives that resonate deeply. Understanding these patterns allows for a deeper analysis of how myths convey meaning and reinforce cultural values. For example, the hero's journey, a common narrative structure, appears in various mythologies, highlighting universal human experiences.The book uniquely focuses on the "myth language" itself, the specific grammatical, syntactical, and rhetorical devices used in these narratives, rather than solely focusing on thematic or symbolic interpretations. It systematically analyzes formulaic expressions and traces these patterns across diverse traditions, from Greek and Roman to Norse and Near Eastern myths. This approach is valuable for students of language arts, biblical studies, and comparative religion, offering tools for analyzing cultural narratives and religious traditions.The book begins by introducing core concepts and methodologies, then delves into specific linguistic patterns and formulaic expressions, demonstrating their presence in various mythologies. It culminates by tracing these linguistic patterns across different cultures, highlighting universal elements and culturally specific adaptations. By understanding "myth language," readers can enhance their appreciation of literature and gain new insights into the religious and spiritual traditions that have shaped human history.

Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Anonym

The Sherlock Holmes Archive (1921-1927) is Doyle's last collection of stories about the famous detective. Over the seven years of their coexistence, Holmes bored Doyle. In 1893, in the story The Last Case of Holmes, the author tried to end his hero by putting him to death. The detective's fans, whose interest only grew, were outraged. By the will of fate, in 1901, Doyle heard the legends about a giant ghost dog, and since there was no need to invent a new hero, he resurrected Holmes so that he would not part with him until the end of his days. So the life of a detective stretched out into two collections of stories: the collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes followed, followed by the Sherlock Holmes Archive.

Portuguese Made Easy - Beginner...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Portuguese 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 Portuguese.
In Unit 1 you will hear Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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 Portuguese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Portuguese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Portuguese, 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.
