    内容简介:
    本书从句法与形态接口视角主要探讨现代汉语中三个与"得"相关的结构,即带"得"的可能补语句、结果补语句和状态补语句,并对这三类结构做出一个较为统一的考察。研究发现,带"得"的可能补语句、结果补语句及状态补语句受制于很多共同的限制,如该类结构中的动词都不能受方式状语修饰,该类结构都不能使用肯定的命令式等。本研究不仅可以找出某些带"得"的状态补语句与某些带"得"的可能补语句(或结果补语句)之间存在歧义的根源,还可以揭示与"得"相关的这几类句型之间的内部联系及其背后隐藏的普遍语法规律。

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "The Transcendentalist" is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson that was first published in 1841. In this work, Emerson defines and reflects on the Transcendentalist movement, a philosophical and literary movement that was influential in the United States in the 19th century. Transcendentalism emphasized the importance of individualism, intuition, and a direct connection to the divine, and rejected the materialism and conformity of contemporary society. In "The Transcendentalist," Emerson argues that Transcendentalists are people who seek to transcend the limitations of the physical world and find truth and meaning through spiritual and philosophical pursuits. He also notes that Transcendentalists embrace the power of the individual and reject the notion that authority should come from institutions or tradition. "The Transcendentalist" is considered a seminal work in American literature and is widely regarded as one of Emerson's most important works. The essay continues to be widely read and studied today as a classic expression of Transcendentalist thought and philosophy.

    Rules - A Short History of What...

    Rules order almost every aspect of our lives. They set our work hours, dictate how we drive and set the table, tell us whether to offer an extended hand or cheek in greeting, and organize the rites of life, from birth through death. We may chafe under the rules we have, and yearn for ones we don't, yet no culture could do without them. In Rules, historian Lorraine Daston traces their development in the Western tradition and shows how rules have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived. 
     
     
     
    Daston uncovers three enduring kinds of rules: the algorithms that calculate and measure, the laws that govern, and the models that teach. She illustrates how rules can change—how supple rules stiffen, or vice versa, and how once bothersome regulations become everyday norms. Rules have been devised for almost every imaginable activity and range from meticulous regulations to the laws of nature. Daston probes beneath this variety to investigate when rules work and when they don't, and why some philosophical problems about rules are as ancient as philosophy itself while others are as modern as calculating machines.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
    "A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
     "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck
