  • Preface to the Jack Hyles Story
    Introduction to the Hyles Story Preface to the Jack Hyles Story Jack Hyles was an enigma most of his life. Born in the little town of Italy, Texas (about 30 miles south of Dallas, just off I-35E today) on September 25, 1926, he departed this world on February 6, 2001 at Chicago University Hospital, the victim of a failed heart operation. He was 74 at the time of his decease. As far as "numbers" in the ministry, his start was very inauspicious. He attended the East Texas Baptist College (SBC) in Marshall and was a student pastor while there. His first three churches – all small ones in Texas – were Marris Chapel Baptist in Bogata, Grange Hall Baptist in Marshall, and Southside Baptist in Henderson. He next went to the Miller Road Baptist in Garland, where his success was not only hailed by fellow Southern Baptists, it came to the attention of Dr. John R. Rice through his advertising manager at the time, Miss Fairy Shappard. I was present when she returned from a business trip to Texas and heard her report with great enthusiasm her visit to his church. Dr. Rice started using him in Sword Conferences and, as a result, he eventually became nationally known. I had known him from my own ministry in Texas. After Garland, he held a long pastorate at the First Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana – starting his ministry there in August of 1959 and remaining until his decease. In the latter two churches thousands professed faith and were baptized. In Hammond he had a huge Sunday school and church attendance, reputedly the largest in the world at the time.

  • Lexical Innovation on the Internet - Neologisms in Blogs
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2009 Lexical innovation on the internet - neologisms in blogs Smyk-Bhattacharjee, Dorota Abstract: Studien im Bereich des Sprachwandels beschreiben traditionellerweise diachronische Verän- derungen in den Kernsubsystemen der Sprache und versuchen, diese zu erklären. Obwohl ein Grossteil der Sprachwissenschaftler sich darüber einig ist, dass die aktuellen Entwicklungen in einer Sprache am klarsten im Wortschatz reflektiert werden, lassen die lexikographischen und morphologischen Zugänge zur Beobachtung des lexikalischen Wandels wichtige Fragen offen. So beschäftigen sich letztere typischer- weise mit Veränderungen, die schon stattgefunden haben, statt sich dem sich zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt vollziehenden Wandel zu widmen. Die vorliegende Dissertation bietet eine innovative Lösung zur Un- tersuchung des sich vollziehenden lexikalischen Wandels sowohl in Bezug auf die Datenquelle als auch bzgl. der verwendeten Methodologie. In den vergangenen 20 Jahren hat das Internet unsere Art zu leben, zu arbeiten und zu kommunizieren drastisch beeinflusst. Das Internet bietet aber auch eine Masse an frei zugänglichen Sprachdaten und damit neue Möglichkeiten für die Sprachforschung. Die in dieser Arbeit verwendeten Daten stammen aus einem Korpus englischsprachiger Blogs, eine Art Computer gestützte Kommunikation (computer-mediated communication, CMC). Blogs bieten eine neue, beispiel- lose Möglichkeit, Wörtern nachzuspüren zum Zeitpunkt, in der sie Eingang in die Sprache finden. Um die Untersuchung des Korpus zu vereinfachen, wurde eine Software mit dem Namen Indiana entwickelt. Dieses Instrument verbindet den Korpus basierten Zugang mit einer lexikographischen Analyse. Indiana verwendet eine Kombination von HTML-to-text converter, eine kumulative Datenbank und verschiede Filter, um potentielle Neologismen im Korpus identifizieren zu können.

This case is about the rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse of Plaintiff and the ongoing cover-up of the same by Defendants’ and their officers, personnel, members, agents, and representatives (collectively, “Hyles Employees”), who were serving in active ministry, despite the knowledge of Defendants as to the rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse. 2. Rather than safeguarding Plaintiff, a minor at the time of the rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse, as they were charged to do and undertook the duty to do, Hyles Employees protected their own interests, put their own financial interests ahead Case: 1:20-cv-01153 Document #: 1 Filed: 02/17/20 Page 2 of 25 PageID #:2 of the duty to protect the children they oversaw, and took extraordinary measures to conceal the wrongful conduct and the actions and omissions of the Hyles Employees. 3. Based on its status (a position analogous to a bishop over a particular diocese) as a church organized and identified as the “Independent Fundamental Baptist” (“IFB”), Defendants were in a unique position to conceal the rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse committed by Hyles Employees.
