(KJV) Luke 21:5-18 5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

  • 'YE ARE MY FRIENDS' by John Macmurray
    'YE ARE MY FRIENDS' by John Macmurray Ye are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants but friends. These things I command you that ye love one another. John xv. 1-17. THE purpose of God in the life of the world is a web of purposes which has a single centre, from which all the threads go out and to which they all return. Only from the centre can we begin to trace the plan of it. From any other point it will seem a meaningless tangle. Copernicus made a revolution in human knowledge merely by shifting the centre of the solar system from the earth to the sun. The world- revolution of the Christians came when Jesus discovered the true centre of human life. 'Not servants but friends' is the proclamation of the revolution. The key- word of the Christian gospel is not service but friendship. Of late, I believe, we have been thinking too much in terms of service—service of God and of the world. There is nothing distinctively Christian about that. It is the natural way of religious thought when it becomes practical. Socrates called himself the servant of Apollo. Christ's revolution consisted, like that of Copernicus, precisely in denying the 'Natural' point of view and substituting friendship for service. 'But surely,' you will say, 'we are called as Christians to serve Christ and to serve the world.' No, we are called to be the friends of Christ and the friends of men. That is not at all the same thing.

    116544 english-EUP 10/11/2005 11:17 am Page 1 EDINBURGH TEXTBOOKS ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE Early Modern English to An Introduction Series Editor: Heinz Giegerich This new textbook series provides introductions to the main areas of English Language study. Volumes cover aspects of the history and structure of the language such as: syntax, phonology, morphology, regional and social variation, Old English, Middle English and international Englishes. An Introduction to Early Modern English TERTTU NEVALAINEN An introduction to Early Modern English, this book helps students of English and linguistics to place the language of the period 1500–1700 in its historical context as a language with a common core but also as one which varies across time, regionally and socially, and according to register. The volume focuses on the structure of what contemporaries called the General Dialect – its spelling, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation – and on its dialectal origins. The book also discusses the language situation and linguistic anxieties in England at a time when Latin exerted a strong influence on the rising standard language. The volume includes: • The major changes in English from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century • Emphasis on long-term linguistic developments • Sources for the study of Early Modern English • Illustrations ranging from drama and personal letters to trials and early science TERTTU NEVALAINEN TERTTU • Exercises encouraging further exploration of the changing English language.

UK Abstract Pronouns of address are customarily discussed within a binary scheme of alternatives where T symbolizes an informal/familiar approach and V a formal/polite stance. No provision is made for a neutral option, a lacuna which has become increasingly more visible as English unmarked, single address pronoun you makes its presence felt around the globe. The current article reviews the dual system of analysis and argues for a tripartite classification of pronouns and other forms of address. This is offered as a reprise of Cook’s (2010 (1997)) proposal of a third dimension, N, for neutrality. Equally taken into account are other theoretical and empirical contributions deemed to assist in the achievement of better theorization in the field.

TO JAMES MORGAN HART Author of "German Universities" and Scholar in Old English y PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. The present volume is an attempt to be of service to those who are beginning the study of our language, or who desire to acquaint themselves with a few speci- mens of our earliest literature. It has seemed to the author that there were two extremes to be avoided in its compilation — the treatment of Old English as though it consisted of wholly isolated phenomena, and the procedure upon a virtual assumption that the student was already acquainted with the cognate Germanic tongues and with the problems and methods of comparative phi- lology. The former treatment robs the study of its significance and value, which, like that of most other subjects, is found in its relations ; the latter repels and confounds the student at a stage when he is most in need of encouragement and attraction. How well the author has succeeded must be left to the judgment of others — the masters whom he follows at a distance, and the students whose interests he has constantly borne in mind.

  • UNIVERSITY of WARWICK Department of English
    UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK Department of English & Comparative Literary Studies Medieval English Studies A GUIDE TO MIDDLE ENGLISH A Guide to Middle English: Introduction One of the aims of the course is that you should acquire sufficient knowledge of Middle English to read the medieval set-texts in the original language. In order to test this skill, the examination for the course includes some translation from Middle English as well as commentary on Middle English texts. As you read through the texts set for the first term, consulting the notes and glossaries as you go, you will pick up most of what you need to know about Middle English. The purpose of this guide is to bring together some basic information to help you, and to list vocabulary you might wish learn week by week. During the first term, your private reading will be supported by textual classes, which include reading practice, translation techniques and other work on the language of extracts from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. (The sections set for the language classes are listed at the end of this booklet.) The course is concerned with texts from the late fourteenth century and after, so the grammatical notes and vocabulary below apply to that period. The guide does not aim to be exhaustive. (Some suggestions for further reading on Middle English can be found below.) Tutors welcome comments on the guide and suggestions for improvement. NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with the grammatical terminology used in this guide, you might find it useful to buy a grammar book, or borrow one from the library.

  • THE GROUP RING Zpcq and YE's THEOREM 1. Introduction
    THE GROUP RING ZpCq AND YE'S THEOREM WARREN WM. MCGOVERN Abstract. We generalize Ye's Theorem which states that the group ring Z(p)[C3] is a semi-clean ring [13]. The proof provided here is more efficient; it is less algorithmic but has the feature that the following statement is evident: for distinct primes p; q, the group q−1 ring Z(p)[Cq] is feebly clean if and only if the order of p modulo q is at least 2 . 1. Introduction Throughout the article, R shall denote a commutative ring with identity. We are interested in the problem of studying the class of clean rings and its many variations and generalizations. In particular, we are interested in the study of certain commutative group rings RG and determining when they have certain properties. Throughout, we let U(R), Id(R), and J(R) denote the group of units, the set of idempotents, and the Jacobson radical of R, respectively. Recall that an element a 2 R is called periodic if there are k < n 2 N such that ak = an; we denote the set of periodic elements by Per(R). Obviously, an idempotent is periodic. A brief history is in order. Nicholson [12] defined a ring R to be clean if for each r 2 R there is an idempotent e 2 R such that r − e 2 U(R). Since their inception, clean rings have been a topic of research in both the commutative case as well as the non-commutative case. In the commutative context, clean rings can be seen as a bigger class of rings containing semi-perfect rings (e.g.

  • Chapter 4 - Old English Grammar
    Text Commentary Book – OE grammar - From Old English to Standard English 3rd edition 1 Chapter 4 - Old English grammar Noun and demonstrative pronoun inflections for gender, number and case Nouns in OE were marked for number - singular (sg) or plural (pl) and case - nominative (n), accusative (a), genitive (g), dative (d) or instrumental (i), and each noun had a grammatical gender masculine, (masc), feminine (fem) or neuter (neut). In theory, we might expect ten different inflections for each combination of number and case categories - n sg, n pl, a sg, a pl, g sg, g pl, d sg, d pl, i sg, i pl. And because pronouns and adjectives agreed with nouns for gender as well as number and case, then they would need thirty inflections in all, if each set of categories were to have its own distinct inflection - nom sg masc, nom sg fem, nom sg neut, acc sg masc etc. In fact, this was not so. Some inflections served for more than one category, and not all nouns used the same inflections to mark the categories. There is no need to learn all the different inflections of the nouns before beginning to translate OE, provided that you know how to refer to an OE dictionary and grammar. OE nouns divide into sets, or declensions. Each declension contains those nouns which have the same inflections for the same functions. There are two important sets which grammarians called the strong and weak declensions, or alternatively the general and -AN declensions. Each divides into sub-categories according to gender, with some differences of inflection.

  • The Cultural History of the Chinese Character “Ta” (The Third Person Feminine Pronoun)]
    Huang Xingtao 黄兴涛, “Ta” zi de wenhua shi “她”字的文化史 [The Cultural History of the Chinese Character “ta” (the third person feminine pronoun)]. Fuzhou: Fujian Jiaoyu Chubanshe. 2009. Reviewed by Gang Zhao, University of Akron In written Chinese, in contrast to English, the third-person feminine pronoun—the equivalent of “she”—was completely absent until the early twentieth century. In the late 1910s, when the voices of women’s liberation rang out in China, the Chinese character ta 她, for the third-person feminine singular pronoun, was invented. The invention and dissemination of the word ta not only reflected an ideological gendering of the Chinese script but also provoked heated academic and popular debates well into the 1930s. Thus, the history of ta provides a prism through which to explore modern Chinese history. Huang Xingtao’s“Ta”zi de wenhua shi is the first major work to survey the term’s creation. Huang’s eight-chapter monograph provides an ambitious and informed examination of how ta was invented and promoted in relation to the gender equality movement, the politics of neologism, and other domestic elements and international catalysts. Huang draws on diverse sources, including monographs, journals, textbooks, and dictionaries published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His use of textbooks deserves particular mention as his analysis of these sources beautifully illustrates how both the modern education system and linguistic changes contributed to the spread of the third-person feminine pronoun among a wider audience. His interviews with eight historians who experienced the popularization of ta as youths in the 1930s and 1940s also provide a persuasive history of this phenomenon.

  • Learn to Speak Like Shakespeare
    LEARN TO SPEAK LIKE SHAKESPEARE THEE = = THOU = = THY = = THINE = = YE NEVER use you except when addressing someone superior to you~~such as the Queen or a noble! In Elizabethan times, such a mistake might have cost you your head!! Thou is used instead of you as the subject in a sentence: THOU ART A KNAVE! (You are no good!) Thee is used instead of you as the object in a sentence: I SHALT GIVE IT TO THEE. (I shall give it to you.) Thy is used instead of the word your : thy house, thy dog, thy book. Thine is used before words beginning with a vowel: thine apple. Ye is used instead of saying all of you : Ye all shalt come. CONTRACTIONS Some of our contractions that we use today are don’t and won’t and can’t . The Elizabethans had some different ones that we no longer use; here are some of them: Tis - It is T’would - It would T’will - It will Is’t - Is it ME = = METHINKS The peasants and simple people used the word me a lot and in sentences that started with the word I : I stepped me to the ale house. I goes me to me neighbor’s house. I hope me to have a good day. The peasants would also say methinks instead of I think: Methinks thou art a clamperton! Methinks me knows the lad. Methinks Fair Mistress Brown art a shrew!! HELLO = = GOODBYE Here are some of the greetings the Elizabethans used matched with the sort of phrases we would use today: Good Morrow, Mistress Patterson.
