Making the First Circle Work by Randy Gage

Making the First Circle Work by Randy Gage

Most of the contributions published in this volume were prepared within the framework of the research project Dynamics of Contacts between Populations and Languages - Lexical and Structural Diffusion and the Genealogies in the Sahel co-ordinated at the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University in Prague, and in a workshop dedicated to the project at the occasion of the XVIth International Congress of Linguists (Prague 2003). The purpose of the project was to examine the linguistic situation in the Sahel in view of the recent developments in the study of language contacts, assessing the reality of the Sahel Sprachbund. The concept of Sprachbund, or 'linguistic area' as a bundle of features common to languages over a geographical area has experienced considerable extention: from phonology and morphology, its domain has been extended to morphosyntax and lexicon. By doing so, the concepts of calquing, typological convergence, reflexification and metatypy are being used to characterize the process witnessed in the study of language contacts.

Randy Gage demonstrates how to find hidden opportunities where others perceive just obstacles. His writings have been described as a gut punch and a loving kick in the teeth, among other things. Randy will almost certainly cause you to consider and look at things in new ways. From governments and organized religion to herd mentality and conventional ideas, he isn't hesitant to take on anyone or anything. Randy is undoubtedly the most fascinating thinker in the fields of mind viruses, human behavior, and what drives people to make changes in their lives.

Randy is the author of 14 novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Risky Is the New Safe and Crazy Genius, which have been translated into 25 languages. He has talked to over two million people in over 50 countries and is a member of the Speakers Hall of Fame as well as the Direct Selling Hall of Fame. You'll probably find him playing third base on a softball field somewhere when he's not stalking the podium or trapped in his lonely writer's garret.
