Reference and Books

Tolkien in Foreign Language Editions Note: these books are special orders, so they will take longer to ship than other products. When J.R.R. Tolkien penned The Hobbit, which was published in 1937, he couldn't have known that he was beginning one of the most famous and beloved story cycles the world has ever known. Its initial popularity prompted his publisher to ask for a sequel and Tolkien started writing The Lord of the Rings, which turned out to be a huge opus requiring twelve years for completion - and history was in the making. By the time of Tolkien's death in 1973 The Lord of the Rings had a huge word-of-mouth cult following, with many popular editions, and was part of the cultural background for youth and adults of all ages. Peter Jackson's movie Ring cycle of the Tolkien series has made history again (and is in its own way an achievement in cinema much like Tolkien's in literature, but that is another story) - and has brought Tolkien's writings into a prominence that is perhaps at its peak. Happily, this means that the many foreign editions of Tolkien will probably remain in print for some time, and more may be brought to the fore. Gospodar Prstenova (Lord of the Rings) 3 volumes in one book (paperback) $117.95   Hobit (The Hobbit) - paperback $57   More about Tolkien in Foreign Language Editions...

A Comparative Reference Grammar of Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian
Danko Sipka
This grammar is laid out as a comprehensive yet user-friendly reference for beginning to intermediate English learners. The basic grammar text gives rules in a form of decision-trees, tables and figures. Longer lists of exceptions are provided in the appendices. Most sections are divided into a structural description and a contrastive section. Features that contrast with english are elaborated in detail. Along with the sections containing grammatical information in a narrower sense (phonology with prosody, inflectional and lexical morphology, syntax), the grammar contains practical metagrammatical information such as that on the orthography and the use of pragmatic operators, which the learner will need in everyday communication. Main differences between standard and substandard grammatical forms are also provided. Three principal theoretical approaches deployed in the grammar include minimal information grammar, the application of decision theory in modeling language structures, and cognitive linguistics. They were used in the first stage of preparing the text, followed by the application of a user friendly interface. An overarching goal of this grammar is to equip its users with the heuristics which will enable a swift learning process and easy solutions to any problem in the use of the language. 2007, 740 pages, hardbound.
