  Demosthenes 354-324BCE -...

  Demosthenes, Dinarchus

  Demosthenes is generally acknowledged as the greatest orator in history. He overcame a stammer and the theft of his inheritance by his legal guardians to become as foundational to oratory as his contemporaries Plato and Aristotle are to philosophy. 
  Much like a major contemporary political figure, he overcame a stammer on his journey to greatness, with “inarticulate and stammering pronunciation.” He was known as “a water drinker”; a stern and serious presence at all times. 
  His great battle was against the waning of Athenian democracy, which slowly disintegrated into oligarchy and treason over his lifetime. As a legislator, ambassador, and leader he fought against the inexorable rise of Philip of Macedon and, later, Philip’s son Alexander. Fighting for the peace, democracy and equality that Athenian ancestors brought to all Greece, his tale ends in ruin as Athens finally falls, after more than thirty years trying to hold the line. 
   In historical terms, many of the patterns, descriptions and arguments presented here will seem eerily familiar, like listening to Songs In The Key Of Life for the first time. Every part of it has been reused a thousand times by people ever since its creation, so you are intimately familiar with the style, even if you have never come across it before. 
  After a prestigious career of public service, the tide turned against him. An accusation of bribery leads to his most famous speech, On The Crown. This defense of his career as the tides turned against him has been described as “the greatest speech of the greatest orator in the world.” 
  After his conviction, he escaped from prison and went on the run. He was exiled,  brought back, then sentenced to death; eventually, fleeing the city again, this time to the island of Kalaureia (modern-day Poros). Discovered by Archias, he asked for time to write a letter to his family, and took poison from a reed.

  Do your mindfulness readings fall short? 
  This book introduces you to knowledge through the experience of one man who continues to toil the mire of the mind. Join him, and others, on the journey that untold numbers have ventured throughout the millennia. A journey to peace of mind through the observance of breath and thoughts. Simple, yet powerful, it transforms warriors into peacemakers. 
  We achieve learning through quiet observation. First, observe the mind and the training of it should follow.

  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。

  Inner space" - 26 March 1971. Duration: 61 minutes. 
  Is it possible to be free of the centre so that the centre doesn't create space around itself and build a wall? Can the centre be still or fade away? Can consciousness empty itself of its content? Is love within the field of consciousness?If you don't form an image now, the past images have no place. Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation?
