When all their friends start young families and their dinner-party lifestyle is ruined, a wealthy couple hires an assassin to kill all the children and restore the adults-only decadence that completes them. Will and Rose were happy once. Long ago, when they partied with their special clique of friends on the mezzanine of their multi-million-dollar mansion. If you were gawking over their electrified gate after midnight, you'd see their dancing, champagne-flute-holding silhouettes through silk curtains. Oh, the privilege. There were four couples in all, and they gathered every Friday night for six-to-seven hours of shameless hedonism. It was their end-of-week ode to self-indulgence and Will and Rose never thought it would end. But then it did, beginning with four terrifying words, uttered flippantly before the main course on a stormy November evening: "We're having a baby."

No detailed description available for "Chantyal Dictionary and Texts".

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.

Theoretical Morphology provides a comprehensive and coherent treatment of contemporary morphological research and theory. A variety of theoretical paradigms are reviewed and illustrated by specific topics of debate within the field. The twenty-one chapters are divided into sections on inflection, function, historical/area studies, mapping to other components, and morphophonology.
