Ordered Chaos
Author: Mary Ellen Ryder
language: en
Publisher: Univ of California Press
Release Date: 1994-01-01
This work presents a model for novel compound interpretation using Cognitive Grammar and schema theory. The model, based on analysis of established compounds and responses to novel compounds, claims that speakers try using real-world schemas attached to both element nouns to construct a relationship between them by matching already established patterns. When this is impossible, speakers often "metaphorize" the head noun.
Ethno-religious Identification and Intergroup Contact Avoidance
Author: Menandro Sarion Abanes
language: en
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
Release Date: 2014
This study focuses on the latent aspects of an ethno-religious conflict, describing why and how people avoid contact with 'out-groups.' Their contact avoidance is largely based on the notion of power. The book shows how contact avoidance towards out-groups is related to people's ethno-religious identification. This is explained by various factors, such as a perceived group threat, out-group distrust, fundamentalism, quantity of contact, and direct experiences of violence. Finally, the book illustrates how education, mass media, and the history of conflict are related with intergroup contact avoidance.

Looked after by her Chinese amah, Ursula spoke Fuzhou dialect, Pidgin English and English from an early age.
