While similar in method to the "activity-based learning" introduced in the first set of books, Urdu for Children: Book II is designed to meet the needs of children seven to eight years of age and older. The students' level is determined by their facility in reading, writing, and speaking Urdu rather than their chronological age. The scope of the topics in Book II is wider than in Book I and the forty stories and poems, most of them original, are more complex and longer. The original artwork is richer and more varied and the English-Urdu and Urdu-English vocabulary lists are more comprehensive. Two volumes of Let's Read Urdu have been added to help children enhance their reading skills while a two-part Workbook provides practice exercises in writing and reinforces the new vocabulary introduced in the texts. The activity-based Teacher's Manual provides detailed lesson plans for each Urdu text. Two CDs accompanying the two volumes of the textbook to help ensure standard pronunciation of words and intonations in sentences, and infuse life into the stories. Original music was composed for the poems, allowing children to sing them to help with memorization. Developed by a team of trained public school teachers with extensive backgrounds in teaching Urdu as a heritage language, the Urdu Language Textbook Series helps meet the needs of a rapidly growing Urdu-speaking community in North America. It is the first step towards helping children develop Urdu linguistic skills so that they can keep their heritage and culture alive.

"This monograph is the first book-length investigation of 'selective opacity'--configurations in which syntactic domains are opaque to some processes, but transparent to others--, and it develops a comprehensive theory of such configurations within a contemporary Minimalist framework. While such configurations have traditionally been analyzed in terms of restrictions on possible sequences of movement steps, the monograph shows that analogous restrictions govern long-distance dependencies that do not involve movement, and it proposes that the phenomenon is more widespread and abstract than previously assumed. The monograph develops a new approach to such effects, according to which probes are subject to characteristic 'horizons', which terminate their search. This analysis furthermore has important implications for key concepts of locality like the distribution of phases. The subject of the monograph falls within the fundamental domain of the locality of syntactic dependencies, with a specific focus on in-depth case studies of Hindi-Urdu and German. It contains detailed investigations of movement dependencies, long-distance agreement, wh-dependencies, the A/A'-distinction, restructuring, freezing effects, successive cyclicity, and phase theory. The intent of the monograph is to develop a comprehensive theory of selective-opacity effects within a Minimalist framework. As such, the monograph will be of interest to all linguists working on theoretical syntax in general and syntactic locality in particular. Furthermore, the in-depth case studies of Hindi-Urdu and German make it highly relevant to linguists interested in theoretical and/or empirical work on Indo-Aryan languages or Germanic"--

Moving beyond the existing scholarship on language politics in north India which implicitly or explicitly focuses on Hindi-Urdu debates, this text examines the formation of the Maithili movement in the context of expansion of Hindi as the 'national' language.
