Synopsis

In "Language: Its Nature, Development and Origin," Otto Jespersen explores the intricate tapestry of language, considering its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. Through a rigorous linguistic framework, Jespersen employs a descriptive and analytical style that deftly combines historical linguistics with contemporary insights, revealing the evolution of language as a dynamic and living system. He delves into concepts such as phonetics, syntax, and semantics while situating linguistic development within broader cultural and historical contexts, making it an essential text for understanding the complexities of human communication. Otto Jespersen, a prominent Danish linguist and a pioneering figure in the field of English grammar, draws on his extensive academic background to craft this seminal work. His experiences in the rapidly evolving landscape of European languages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries likely informed his inquiry into language origins and classifications. Jespersen's ability to synthesize various linguistic theories showcases his commitment to the scientific study of language, making him a respected authority in the field. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and language enthusiasts alike, offering profound insights into the essence of language itself. Jespersen's thoughtful analysis invites readers to reflect on their own linguistic experiences while providing a comprehensive foundation for further exploration in the spheres of linguistics and semiotics.

    Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. The paradox lies in the fact that many people were shocked and impressed by his stories at the same time. 
    As if the controversy wasn’t enough, Mark’s financial situation (whose name was actually Samuel Clemens) was to be lamented, as were some other struggles he faced. He would probably be proud to see how many people have embraced his works and literature now, more than 140 years later.

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