The likelihood of encountering aphasic patients who speak a language other than the one of the clinic in which they are assessed is rapidly increasing to the point of becoming commonplace. It is therefore more important than ever to become aware of the manifestations of aphasia in languages other than one's own. A number of factors conspire to influence the symptoms in each language, from phonological and morphosyntactic structure of the language, to frequency of obligatory contexts, importance of the form for derivation of meaning, and degree of redundancy. Therefore the same underlying deficit may cause different surface manifestations in different languages. The characteristic symptoms of 14 languages of Germanic, Finno-Ugrian, Indo-Iranian, Romance, Semitic, and Slavic language families are described in the volume, namely, African American English, Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Czech, Farsi (Persian), Finnish, Friulian, Greek, Hebrew, Hun

A thrilling new biography of Dwight Eisenhower set in the months leading up to D-Day, when he grew from a well-liked general into one of the singular figures of American history. On June 6, 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower addressed the thousands of American troops preparing to invade Normandy, exhorting them to embrace the "Great Crusade" they faced. Then, in a fleeting moment alone, he drafted a resignation letter in case the invasion failed. In The Light of Battle, Michel Paradis, acclaimed author of Last Mission to Tokyo, paints a vivid portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as he learns to navigate the crosscurrents of diplomacy, politics, strategy, family, and fame with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. In a world of giants--Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur--it was a barefoot boy from Abilene, Kansas, who would master the art of power and become a modern-day George Washington. Drawing upon meticulous research and a voluminous body of newly discovered records, letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts from three continents, Paradis brings Eisenhower to life, as a complicated man who craved simplicity, a genial cipher whose smile was a lethal political weapon. With a page-turning pace and an eye for the overlooked, Paradis interweaves the grand arc of history with more human concerns, bringing readers into the private moments that led to Eisenhower's most pivotal decisions. By deftly integrating the personal and the political, he reveals how Eisenhower's rise both reflected and was integral to America's rise as a global superpower. An unflinching look at how character is forged, and leadership is learned, The Light of Battle breathes new life into the man who made "the leader of the free world" the mantle of the American presidency.

The Bilingual Aphasia Test is a comprehensive language test designed to assess the differential loss or sparing of various language functions in previously bilingual individuals. The individual is tested, separately, in each language he or she previously used, and then in the two languages simultaneously. The testing is multimodal -- sampling hearing, speaking, reading, and writing; and multidimensional -- testing various linguistic levels (phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical, and semantic), tasks (comprehension, repetition, judgment, lexical access and propositionizing), and units (words, sentences, and paragraphs).   The BAT is structured as follows:   * To test a bilingual aphasic, you will need the following testing elements: the stimulus books for each of the languages in which the individual was formerly fluent, the single-language tests for each of these languages, as well as the bilingual test that links them. For example, if you are testing an English-French bilingual aphasic, you will need an English stimulus book, a French stimulus book, an English single-language test, a French single-language test, and an English-French bilingual test.  * The BAT can also be used to test monolingual aphasics. To test for monolingual aphasia, you will need the stimulus book and the single-language test in the language in which the individual was formerly fluent.  * Professor Paradis' book, The Assessment of Bilingual Aphasia, provides the background material and serves as the manual for the test.   The BAT is available in dozens of languages and language pairs. There are now 106 bilingual pairs available. Additional single-language and bilingual tests are being prepared continuously. If the language (or language pair) you need is not listed, please call LEA to find out if and when it will be available.   Single-language materials are now available in:   Amharic  Arabic (Jordanian)  Arabic (Maghrebian)  Armenian (Eastern)  Armenian (Western)  Azari  Basque  Berber  Bulgarian  Catalán  Chinese (Cantonese)  Chinese (Mandarin)  Croatian  Czech  Danish  Dutch  English  Farsi  Finnish  French  Friulian  Galician  German  Greek  Hebrew  Hindi  Hungarian  Icelandic  Inuktitut  Italian  Japanese  Kannada  Korean  Kurdish  Latvian  Lithuanian  Luganda  Malagasy  Norwegian  Oryia  Polish  Portuguese (Brazilian)  Portuguese (European)  Rumanian  Russian  Somali  Spanish (American)  Spanish (European)  Swahili  Swedish  Tagalog  Tamil  Turkish  Ukrainian  Urdu  Vietnamese  Yiddish   Bilingual pairs are now available in:   Amharic/English  Amharic/French  Arabic/Armenian  Arabic/English  Arabic/French  Arabic/Somali  Arabic/Swahili  Armenian/English  Armenian/Farsi  Armenian/French  Armenian/Russian  Basque/English  Basque/French  Basque/Spanish  Berber/English  Berber/French  Bulgarian/English  Bulgarian/French  Bulgarian/German  Bulgarian/Russian  Catalán/Spanish  Chinese (Cantonese)/English  Chinese (Mandarin)/English  Chinese/French  Croatian/English  Croatian/French  Croatian/Italian  Czech/English  Czech/German  Czech/Russian  Czech/Swedish  Danish/English  Danish/German  Dutch/English  Dutch/French  Dutch/German  Dutch/Hebrew  English/Farsi  English/Finnish  English/French  English/Friulian  English/German  English/Greek  English/Hebrew  English/Hindi  English/Hungarian  English/Icelandic  English/Italian  English/Japanese  English/Korean  English/Latvian  English/Lithuanian  English/Luganda  English/Norwegian  English/Polish  English/Portuguese  English/Rumanian  English/Russian  English/Serbian  English/Somali  English/Spanish  English/Swahili  English/Swedish  English/Tagalog  English/Turkish  English/Urdu  English/Vietnamese  Farsi/French  Farsi/Hebrew  Finnish/French  Finnish/Swedish  French/Friulian  French/German  French/Greek  French/Hebrew  French/Hungarian  French/Italian  French/Japanese  French/Malagasy  French/Polish  French/Rumanian  French/Russian  French/Serbian  French/Somali  French/Spanish  French/Swahili  French/Urdu  French/Vietnamese  Friulian/German  Friulian/Italian  Galician/Spanish  German/Greek  German/Hebrew  German/Hungarian  German/Italian  German/Polish  German/Russian  German/Spanish  German/Swedish  Greek/Spanish  Greek/Turkish  Italian/Rumanian  Italian/Spanish  Portuguese/Spanish  Russian/Swedish  Somali/Swahili

"Superb...[Paradis] writes history with ease and authority." --The Wall Street Journal "[An] engrossing procedural...Richly researched." --The New York Times Book Review A thrilling narrative that introduces a key but underreported moment in World War II: The Doolitte Raids and the international war crimes trial in 1945 that defined Japanese-American relations and changed legal history. In 1942, freshly humiliated from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States was in search of a plan. President Roosevelt, determined to show the world that our nation would not be intimidated or defeated by enemy powers, he demanded recommendations for a show of strength. Jimmy Doolittle, a stunt pilot with a doctorate from MIT, came forward, and led eighty young men, gathered together from the far-flung corners of Depression-era America, on a seemingly impossible mission across the Pacific. Sixteen planes in all, they only had enough fuel for a one-way trip. Together, the Raiders, as they were called, did what no one had successfully done for more than a thousand years. They struck the mainland of Japan and permanently turned the tide of the war in the Pacific. Almost immediately, The Doolittle Raid captured the public imagination, and has remained a seminal moment in World War II history, but the heroism and bravery of the mission is only half the story. In Last Mission to Tokyo, Michel Paradis reveals the dramatic aftermath of the mission, which involved two lost crews captured, tried, and tortured at the hands of the Japanese, a dramatic rescue of the survivors in the last weeks of World War II, and an international manhunt and trial led by two dynamic and opposing young lawyers--in which both the United States and Japan accused the other of war crimes--that would change the face of our legal and military history. Perfect for fans of Lucky 666 and Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial, Last Mission to Tokyo is a thrilling war story-meets-courtroom-drama that explores a key moment in World War II.

A Neurolinguistic Theory of Bilingualism (Studies in Bilingualism)

This volume is the outcome of 25 years of research into the neurolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. In addition to reviewing the world literature and providing a state-of-the-art account, including a critical assessment of the bilingual neuroimaging studies, it proposes a set of hypotheses about the representation, organization and processing of two or more languages in one brain. It investigates the impact of the various manners of acquisition and use of each language on the extent of involvement of basic cerebral functional mechanisms. The effects of pathology as a means to understanding the normal functioning of verbal communication processes in the bilingual and multilingual brain are explored and compared with data from neuroimaging studies. In addition to its obvious research benefits, the clinical and social reasons for assessment of bilingual aphasia with a measuring instrument that is linguistically and culturally equivalent in each of a patient’s languages are stressed. The relationship between language and thought in bilinguals is examined in the light of evidence from pathology. The proposed linguistic theory of bilingualism integrates a neurofunctional model (the components of verbal communication and their relationships: implicit linguistic competence, metalinguistic knowledge, pragmatics, and motivation) and a set of hypotheses about language processing (neurofunctional modularity, the activation threshold, the language/cognition distinction, and the direct access hypothesis).
