Summary

This book will carry the reader back to first principles, and point plainly and clearly to the land marks of 1776, as fixed by the signers of the declaration of our independence, and to rouse the patriot to a just sense of our blood-bought privileges and the necessity of preserving them pure and undefiled, has been the constant aim of the author. It presents biographies of fifty-eight individuals, all engaged in the accomplishment of a single object, the independence of the United State. The author has labored to be concise without being obscure, to inform the understanding without burdening the memory. He has introduced many apothegms, intending to improve the mind and mend the heart. The causes that led to the revolution, it's interesting progress, its happy termination and the formation of our federal government, are all amply delineated.

    复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究(英文)

    内容简介:
    《复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究》在生成语法框架内分析了复数语法范畴在汉语、英语、韩语中的共性和差异,并考察了英语母语者和韩语母语者对汉语复数语法范畴的习得情况。其中,跨语言对比研究以最简方案(Chomsky 2000, 2001; Pesetsky & Torrego 2007)的特征核查机制为理论基础,分析了汉语"们"、英语复数标记-s、韩语复数标记-tul的句法和语义异同,同时也分析了汉语量词重叠的复数义及其句法推导过程。依据特征重组假说(Lardiere 2009),二语学习者需对母语复数表征所涉及的特征集合进行拆分,进而重组出二语复数表征所需的特征集合。本书通过实证研究验证了这一假说,并深入分析了复数语法范畴习得中特征重组的方式和过程。本研究的理论意义在于深度分析了复数语法范畴在量词语言和非量词语言中的表征异同,尤其是在最简方案框架内对复数标记以及与之相关的量词和指示代词的句法推导进行了统一分析,并将理论分析所得出的特征及其组合方式应用于二语习得实证研究中,使母语迁移的内容、方式和结果更加简明清晰。实证研究结果扩展了对量词语言中复数语法范畴习得的认识,深化了对特征重组的方式和过程的了解。

    The Hanseatic League, often simply referred to as the Hansa, emerged during the late Middle Ages as a powerful and influential commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in northern Europe. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, a time when trade across Europe was expanding, and the need for security, consistency, and cooperation among merchants became more apparent. In this period of growing urbanization and shifting political structures, the groundwork was laid for what would become one of the most successful trade networks of the medieval world. 
    Before the League formally took shape, various Germanic merchants had already been engaged in trade across the North and Baltic Seas. These early trade routes connected regions like modern-day Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states. Merchant groups began forming guilds—organized associations that provided mutual protection, standardized trade practices, and a collective voice in foreign cities. These early guilds were critical in shaping the cooperative ethos that would later define the Hanseatic League. 
    The political and economic environment of medieval Europe also contributed to the League's formation. The decline of centralized imperial authority, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire, left towns and cities to manage their own economic affairs. This autonomy encouraged local leaders and merchants to seek regional alliances to protect trade interests and ensure the safe passage of goods and people. At the same time, the Crusades had opened new routes and markets, boosting the importance of northern European trade centers.

    The First King of England is a foundational biography of Æthelstan (d. 939), the early medieval king whose territorial conquests and shrewd statesmanship united the peoples, languages, and cultures that would come to be known as the “kingdom of the English.”Set against the backdrop of warring powers in early medieval Europe, The First King of England sheds new light on Æthelstan’s early life, his spectacular military victories and the innovative way he governed his kingdom, his fostering of the church, the deft political alliances he forged with Europe’s royal houses, and his death and enduring legacy. It begins with the reigns of Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder, Æthelstan’s grandfather and father, describing how they consolidated and expanded the “kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons.” But it was Æthelstan who would declare himself the first king of all England when, in 927, he conquered the viking kingdom at York, required the submission of a Scottish king, and secured an annual tribute from the Welsh kings.The First King of England is the most comprehensive, up-to-date biography of Æthelstan available, bringing a magisterial richness of detail to the life of a consequential British monarch whose strategic and political sophistication was unprecedented for his time.
