    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Why do some children begin speaking in full sentences while others struggle with single words? 
    Language is the foundation of connection, learning, and lifelong success. Yet not all children develop language at the same pace, and the reasons why may surprise you. Children's Language Development reveals how the earliest interactions between caregiver and child play a vital role in shaping future communication, comprehension, and expression. 
    This book provides a research-driven roadmap to unlocking your child’s full linguistic potential. 
    From the quality and quantity of parental input to the structure of early vocabulary and the significance of nonverbal communication, this book brings together decades of developmental psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to answer one critical question: How can we best support a child’s language journey from the very beginning? 
    Inside, you’ll learn: 
    The way you talk to your child directly influences vocabulary growth and language processing 
    The difference between expressive and receptive language—and why it matters 
    Why vocabulary composition (not just quantity) is a key predictor of later success 
    The crucial role of gestures, joint attention, and turn-taking in early communication 
    What current research says about screen time, multilingual environments, and the impact of socio-economic context 
    Give your child the strongest possible start in life through the power of intentional communication. 
    👉 Buy Children's Language Development now to build a richer, more responsive, and more effective foundation for your child’s future.

    内容简介:
    《情感话语的多维度研究——以抱怨会话为例》从社会语言学和语用学角度出发,以抱怨会话为例,对其中蕴含的情感话语进行会话分析,以探究情感话语在交际中的特征、表现,以及与框架和立场密不可分的关系。本书所分析的情感话语指含有情感信息的话语,既包括明确指示情感的情感语言,也包括隐含表达情感的情感性语言。情感话语遍布整个语言系统,是人类交际的必要组成部分。任何会话中都可能有潜在的情感话语,交际者通过情感话语来施行各种言语行为。因此,语言和情感的关系已经引起多方学者的关注,主要涵盖认知语言学、语言人类学、心理语言学、社会语言学、计算语言学、语用学等多个领域。本书选取抱怨会话中存在的大量情感话语作为特定分析对象。所用语料采集自电视剧和真人秀,包括33个不同情景和社会关系中的对话片段。鉴于会话分析在考察话语序列性和交际性方面的优势,本书将结合立场的三个方面,即对立场客体的评价(客观性)、说话主体的定位(主观性)和会话者间定位的比较(主体间性),对抱怨言语行为中的情感话语进行会话分析。

    The Subjection of Women

    "The Subjection of Women" is an essay written by John Stuart Mill in 1869. The essay is a critique of the social and legal status of women in Victorian England and argues for gender equality. Mill argues that the subjugation of women is not only morally wrong but also results in negative consequences for both men and women. 
    In the essay, Mill examines the various ways in which women are subjugated, including their lack of legal rights, their exclusion from education and professional opportunities, and their relegation to the domestic sphere. He argues that these societal restrictions prevent women from fulfilling their potential and living full, autonomous lives. 
    Mill also argues that the subjugation of women is not a natural or inevitable state of affairs but is instead a result of historical and cultural factors. He contends that by removing legal and social barriers to gender equality, society can create a more just and harmonious social order. 
    "The Subjection of Women" was a groundbreaking work in its time and helped to lay the groundwork for the feminist movement. Mill's arguments continue to be influential to this day, and the essay remains a key text in the history of feminist thought.
