Poor, dirty beings who clung to the very edge of survival, many camp women were soldiers' wives who worked as the army's washerwomen, nurses, cooks, or seamstresses. Though these women's written correspondence is scarce, author Nancy Loane uses sources such as issued military orders, pension depositions after the war, and soldiers' descriptions to bring these women to life. Other women at the encampment were of higher status: they traveled with Washington's entourage when the army headquarters shifted from place to place and served the general as valued cooks, laundresses, or housekeepers ... Drawing from diary entries and letters, Following the drum illuminates the experiences of these ladies, including Martha Washington, Lucy Knox, and Lady Stirling, during the encampment and then traces their lives after the Revolutionary War"--Jacket.WomenUnited StatesBiographyValley Forge (Pa.)History18th centuryUnited StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783WomenUnited StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783Participation, FemaleÉtats-UnisHistoire1775-1783 (Révolution)FemmesÉtats-UnisHistoire1775-1783 (Révolution)Participation des femmesPennsylvaniaValley ForgefastUnited StatesfastBiography.Biographies.fastHistory.fastWomen973.334108215.87bcl7,26ssgnLoane Nancy K.1943-1624609MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815663103321Following the drum3959697UNINA03704nam 2200589Ia 450 991096700540332120240513085103.09789027287663 (ebook)9789027223173 (hbk.)10.1075/scl.41(MiAaPQ)EBC623366(Au-PeEL)EBL623366(CaPaEBR)ebr10429914(CaONFJC)MIL289733(OCoLC)690177218(CKB)2670000000055159(DE-B1597)721573(DE-B1597)9789027287663(EXLCZ)99267000000005515920100713d2010 uy 0engurcn|nnn|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierKeyness in texts /edited by Marina Bondi and Mike Scott1st ed.Amsterdam ;Philadelphia John Benjamins Pub.

The volume concerns lexical inequality, the fact that some words and phrases share the quality of being key - and thereby reflect or promote important themes - in some textual contexts, while others do not. The patterning of words which differ in their centrality to text meaning is of increasing interest to corpus linguistics. At the same time software resources are yielding increasingly more detailed ways of identifying and studying the linkages between key words and phrases in text databases. This volume brings together work from some of the leading researchers in this field. It presents thirteen studies organized in three sections, the first containing a series of studies exploring the nature of keyness itself, then a set of five studies looking at keyness in specific discourse contexts, and then three studies with an educational focus.Studies in corpus linguistics ;41.SemanticsDiscourse analysisCorpora (Linguistics)PhraseologySemantics.Discourse analysis.Corpora (Linguistics)Phraseology.401/.43ES 900SEPArvkBondi Marina165317Scott Mike1946-738395MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910967005403321Keyness in texts3907992UNINA
