Description Details
This book is a look into the possibilities for the emergence of a single and universal native language by taking into consideration the common denominator that characterizes all spoken languages: sounds. This book describes the acquisition of language in terms of speech, its use, and its development or evolution. The hypothesis of a monolingual world is supported by strong arguments, facts, and theories. This is both a descriptive and a prescriptive approach in the sens that not only Mr. Dufour portrays the current linguistic status quo as it is, but also, he prescribes a way to go about making our planet monolingual through a detailed awareness campaign plan and practical views likely to help us achieve that goal if followed properly. His approach is a novel one and is commendable. This is a reference book, definitely one to read, whether you're a linguist or not....

Excerpt Details
Language is a beautiful thing. It unites us in our differences. It is one of the most amazing features of human beings. It gives us the ability to communicate complex thoughts, emotions, and intent. That ability is written in our DNA. Humans have an innate predisposition to learn languages. Despite this biological predisposition, language had to first evolve. It took our species by surprise. It was sort of a Eureka moment, an epiphany when the first Homo Sapiens discovered he could communicate using his vocal apparatus…Today, with globalization, the need to communicate quickly and efficiently has never been greater. Nations still take pride in their languages, but some people wish, openly or in their inner selves, there could be a universal or global language spoken by all human beings so that no important part of their messages be lost because of miscommunication or translation itself…Considering the diversity of cultures, the differences between industrialized and emerging economies, which, of course, define the influence of nations on the international scene, is it possible that the potential universal language emerges as a resul...

Due to upload limitations or errors, I am unable to upload recent versions of my books. Please go to https://learn-hebrew-from-genesis.weebly.com/ to find my most recent self-published book versions / editions. This 'vocabulary' book will give a student the ability to study one section every day of each month, and then repeat this process each month. This book will help students learn the most common words first if they start from the beginning of the book, then near the end are the Root Families with usages of 20 times. In the end, students can learn all of the words that occur 20 or more times in the Bible using this list of roots/words. My previous work on my book 'Counting Roots' has greatly helped the creation of this book, because they are both dictionaries really, but they are ordered differently from each other, but neither are ordered in the typical alephbet order. Also, while working on this book, I found a few missing words in my 'Counting Roots' dictionary, and a few errors....

This book is essentially an enhanced dictionary that can also be used for these other purposes: 1: to determine the frequencies of word usage in the Tanakh ('Old' Testament). 2: to more easily compare words with similar spellings. 3: to compare all of the words that come from one single root, which can help us to better understand those word meanings and word usages. 4: to discover what root a word belongs to. 5: to discover roots that other dictionaries do not recognize. 6: to compare Biblical words with modern meanings in some important situations. 7. to discover the total amount of times that all of the words in a root family are used....

This is a 'vocabulary' list split up into 30 sections or 'Days' of study. Pasting text here messes up the spacing and formatting that I used in this book, so that is why I did not paste a section of the book here....

This book was drafted during the Regional Workshop held in Kenya last February as a collective effort of academics, public officers, regional experts, and civil society organisations to answer the question: “How can we use social protection mechanisms as a tool for promoting social inclusion of people dependent on the informal economy?” This workshop was organised as part of the ambition of the RNSF to improve knowledge on ways to enhance the livelihoods of people in the informal economy and to increase the social inclusion of vulnerable groups through research, identification of best practices, information sharing and networking on key themes of the informal economy with the support of the IESF Group.
