![]() ![]() Eventually, post-structuralism rejected the static nature of the linguistic sign, forcing linguistics into relative isolation (since it held on to sign-based models of language). The Saussurean sign allowed French structuralists to revolutionize the methods of modern social science, eschewing the motives and intentions of human actors to focus on the system of oppositions that make signification possible in each domain. ![]() But close examination of the examples of inflectional morphology throughout the Cours brings Saussure’s ideas more in line with Process morphology, a model in which recurrent elements in word forms are exponents of content features, and realizational rules license a word form inferentially from the word’s content. Saussure’s notion of the linguistic sign as a unit of an acoustic image (signifier) and a concept (signified) immediately suggests such a model. In Item-and-Arrangement models of inflection, morphemes are associations of form and meaning stored in a mental lexicon. ![]()

![]() ![]() ZJ also deals with people’s responses to his dad’s behavior. I loved reading from ZJ’s perspective and the way his love and adoration for his father comes through just warms your heart and breaks it at the same time. The writing in this book is just lovely - but, of course, it’s Jacqueline Woodson. As ZJ tries to get through each day, not knowing whether it’ll be a good day for his dad or a bad one, he finds comfort in family, comfort, and community. ZJ’s mom is worried because she knows a few other football friends of his dad who have had the same symptoms. The book is set in 1999-2000 when there was just a growing awareness of CTE. The headache is joined by disturbing symptoms like forgetfulness, aggression, spacing out, and general confusion. Life seems pretty good until his dad comes home early from a game with an awful headache. ![]() He has a awesome crew of male friends who feel like family. ZJ’s dad is a popular pro American footballer. Before the Ever After is Woodson’s latest Coretta Scott King award winner - and a well-deserved win too. ![]() ![]() But if such sadness is affecting you in such a way as to negatively impact all aspects of your life, then your sadness may be depression. Even crying for long periods of time is normal-often this just means that you're a sensitive person with a big heart. It is totally normal to be sad, unmotivated, and alone sometimes. I really like this way of thinking that Andrew Solomon presents. On the other hand, if after a few months of your loss, you are overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness, despair, and crippling sadness-so much so that it feels like a struggle just to get through your days-then you are probably experiencing depression that was triggered by your catastrophic loss. If, after a few months, you are still saddened by your loss, but you can still function in normal day-to-day life and still feel happy at times, then you are typically not depressed, and your grief will ultimately resolve itself given enough time. If you have suffered some catastrophic loss (the death of a loved one, the death of a pet, a breakup, moving to another town, etc.) and you feel deeply sad about it, that feeling is grief. ![]() He talks of grief, sadness, and depression, and the differences between these three similar feelings. ![]() Author and public speaker Andrew Solomon describes the differences between sadness and depression very accurately in my opinion. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this ebullient book, America’s favorite librarian Nancy Pearl and noted-playwright Jeff Schwager interview a diverse range of America’s most notable and influential writers about the books that shaped them and inspired them to leave their own literary mark. ![]() With a Foreword by Susan Orlean, twenty-three of today’s living literary legends, including Donna Tartt, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Andrew Sean Greer, Laila Lalami, and Michael Chabon, reveal the books that made them think, brought them joy, and changed their lives in this intimate, moving, and insightful collection from “American’s Librarian” Nancy Pearl and noted playwright Jeff Schwager that celebrates the power of literature and reading to connect us all.īefore Jennifer Egan, Louise Erdrich, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Jonathan Lethem became revered authors, they were readers.

While Narnia is extremely Eurocentric and explicitly Christian, Earthsea is intentionally secular, drawing inspiration from many cultures and religions. ![]() While she drew from many common inspirations, her views were influenced by the growing civil rights, feminist, and other leftist movements of her time, as well as by the various traditions of peoples across the globe. Approximately two decades later, Le Guin would begin her own fantasy epic. In the nineteen-fifties, Lewis, like many of his contemporary fantasy authors, drew inspiration largely from tales with traditional Christian and pre-Christian European values featuring idealised male heroes of noble lineages going on fantastical quests to prove their worth, a worldview he often replicated. ![]() Le Guin’s Earthsea are two beloved fantasy series known for their depth of imagination and exploration of complex philosophical issues, yet in many ways, the two series stand in opposition to each other. ![]() Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and Ursula K.
