This dissertation, first published in 1980, is concerned with the role of the syllable in generative grammar. Kahn argues that the syllable is a necessary element in phonological descriptions by identifying aspects of phonology that seem to call for analysis in terms of syllabic structure and demonstrating the superiority of syllabic analyses over possible alternative solutions. This title will be of interest to students of English language and linguistics.

Desintegration

In The Meaning and Management of Information, the authors take you on an unusual journey across a 'bridge' that connects various theories of information to actual information management practices. The theories are drawn from fields as diverse as anthropology, biology, physics, psychology, sociology, communications, information systems, and philosophy. The practices are those that we commonly use when we manage information in our everyday lives. Individuals will progress from "information anxiety" to "information mastery." They will learn not only learn how to evaluate their information but also how to manage the five major domains of information we deal with on a daily basis: personal, household, legal, financial, and employment.For those eager to embark on such a journey, The Meaning and Management of Information is an essential point of departure.

The Meaning and Management of Information

Who would have it in for a New York Police lieutenant as to murder a young woman just to harm him? That is the riddle Scott McIngley is trying to solve.Who is the mysterious black-cloaked woman who leaves a "memento" for Scott after every killing spree? The longer the investigation continues, the closer the killer gets, psychologically and physically, to Scott himself. He starts to choose his victims from Scott's immediate entourage. The obscure messages left at every crime scene earn him the nickname “the five senses killer”.Panic takes over. Scott is now sure the killer knows him intimately. What if it is a close friend or colleague?Scott begins to doubt himself; old demons resurface; long-repressed traumas rear their heads. Will they impair his grasp of reality? Fortunately his colleagues support him in his investigation and his wife is – or so he believes – in safety at her dying father's bedside.The enquiry seems to be entering the finishing straight; the evidence against a suspect becomes overwhelming; the net is tightening. But there are still surprises in store for Scott. … In fact the descent into hell has only just begun.
