  • A way with words : understanding grammar for powerful communication

    Creator

    Drout, Michael D. C.

    Abstract

    Professor Drout continues to explore humanity's intimate association with language, here delving into the finer points of grammar. The intricacies of grammar, in fact, should not be relegated to the realm of fussy "guardians of the language," but are rather essential clues all can employ to communicate more exactly. In such a light, this course forms an invaluable guide for everyone from all fields of interest.

    Jamal, Nadia.

    Abstract

    We call the obsession with collecting household items for married life 'the glory garage syndrome: We're talking serious shopping here and it affects many Lebanese girls long before an engagement ring is on their finger. A generation ago, our parents migrated to Australia as young men and women, leaving their families behind in Lebanon. We were born here and consider ourselves Australian, but we don't want to deny our Lebanese heritage.
