Does temporal language depend on spatial language? This widespread view is intuitively appealing since spatial and temporal expressions are often similar or identical. Also, metaphors consistently express temporal phenomena in terms of spatial language, pointing to a close semantic and conceptual relationship. But what about the application of the two kinds of linguistic expressions in natural discourse? The book draws together findings on terms that describe the relation of objects or events to each other (such as in front / behind, before /after, etc.)

In this manifesto, distinguished critic Wayne Booth claims that communication in every corner of life can be improved if we study rhetoric closely. Written by Wayne Booth, author of the seminal book, The Rhetoric of Fiction (1961). Explores the consequences of bad rhetoric in education, in politics, and in the media. Investigates the possibility of reducing harmful conflict by practising a rhetoric that depends on deep listening by both sides.
Ruth Dann explores the complex interactions between pupil learning and educational assessment. Presenting the very latest thinking on assessment, including the opinion that assessment should have a direct impact on learning as well as being a measure of what has been learned, the author emphasizes assessment as a factor in the learning process and offers a variety of theoretical insights and practical applications. Assessment strategies and techniques are examined and considered as part of the curriculum as well as assessment tools.
Assessment practice has been expanding over the last ten years to include a wide range of approaches; assessment policy has also taken center stage in the process of raising educational standards and driving curriculum change. This book analyses these new developments and rethinks some of the key issues.
