Regardless of its origin in terms of diachronic level and comparative linguistics, a verb form needs to be studied in texts, not in isolation but in connection with all its associated linguistic markers. Which modern tense should be used to translate it can be determined only when its function in the text has been understood.

Castillo discusses the key habits which perpetuate a lack of wealth, and then she creates vaccines to eradicate them. Castillo identifies the problem and then gives us the answers. This is powerful stuff, should we decide to actually apply these lessons. We know that our financial state, career and/or amount of debt that we carry are outside factors which can influence our self-esteem. This book helps mend any financial influencers which affect our self-esteem in a neat, clear way in language that we can use and understand.
Although (almost) all sentences have subjects, not all sentences encode their subjects in the same way. Some languages overtly mark some subjects, but not others, depending on certain features of the subject argument or the sentence in which the subject figures. This phenomenon is known as Differential Subject Marking (DSM). Languages differ in which conditions govern DSM. Some languages differentiate their subjects on the basis of semantic features of the argument such as thematic role, volitionality, animacy, whereas others differentiate on the basis of clausal features such as tense/aspect and the main/dependent clause distinction. DSM comes in different formal guises: case marking, agreement, inverse systems, and voice alternations.
Relatively much is known about cross-linguistic variation in the marking of subjects, yet little attempt has been made to formalize the facts. This volume aims to unify formal approaches to language and presents both specific case studies of DSM and theoretical approaches.
Few people have had as great an impact on the modern environmental movement as has the great writer and scientist Rachel Carson. This readable and up-to-date biography traces the famous environmentalist's development as a writer from earliest childhood through the publication of her best-known work Silent Spring (1962). Although Carson is now remembered almost exclusively for Silent Spring, which exposed the dangers of pesticides, this book was preceded by three best-sellers about the ocean environment: Under the Sea-Wind (1941), The Edge of the Sea (1955), and The Sea Around Us (1951), which catapulted her to fame.
