		Another Black Library novel, based on the video game of the same name, where, logically the Word Bearers are featured (they were in the game, so they should be in this novel).

	Cunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Writer Henry Miller frequently used the word in his autobiographical novels, sometimes to refer to the female genitalia and sometimes to refer to a woman.
		She replied that it was a "swear word" but had "actually heard it used as a term of endearment." A spokesperson later clarified that Hoffman meant the word had polite meanings in its original use centuries ago, such as in Canterbury Tales.
		Cunt is used extensively in Australia and New Zealand as a replacement noun, more commonly among males and the working classes, in a similar fashion to the US term motherfucker among some African-Americans in extremely casual settings.

	BBC NEWS Science/Nature Collie dog's word power impresses
		"Apparently he was able to link the novel word to the novel item based on exclusion learning, either because he knew that the familiar items already had names or because they were not novel," say the researchers.
		The researchers say that he appreciates, as do young children, that new words tend to belong to objects that do not already have names.
		Rico understands more than 200 words and can work out the meaning of new ones, by a process of elimination.

		The novel word would be said when the child's attention was directed to the child's toy, and the researcher would continue to look at the toy of focus for four seconds.
		To determine whether novel word learning had occurred, participants played a "find-it" game in which the novel objects were hid temporarily under a towel.
		To determine the validity of the novel word testing procedures, a modified version of Baron-Cohen et al.'s (1997) "warm-up" activity was conducted with the participant.

		As I'm writing this I'm in the process of rewriting the outline for the novel, because it was written on my old word processor.
		Though it was obvious the fire hadn't damaged my word processor, the insurance company insisted that the restoration company take my word processor, check it over and store it with the other items from my house.
		This is so they can make an assessment as to whether the novel is worth publishing.

	Deviant - The blog for blog haters.
		P.S. The overabundance of the word "cunt" was in a reaction to a statement that the word "cunt" is still a big no-no in our society, as well as the word "punani" to which I have both been obsessed with recently.
		Perhaps I could write a screen play or a novel that goes for complete originality on a subject that can be expressed clearly and cleverly in one or two catchy lines.
		My favorite portion, performed by a witty and slightly bewildered Eve Ensler, the original performer and writer of the play, involved her struggle to reclaim a term, and that term is "cunt".

	Johnny America Zine: Where The Voice Begins
		I feel like the word “novel” is too often accompanied by a possessive pronoun: when you are in master of fine arts graduate writing programs, as I have been, people who are writing novels always call them my novel.
		I am reluctant regarding my use of the word novel, not because the book isn’t a novel, necessarily, but more because the word “novel” has too much historical and socio-economic connotation.
		The novel I wrote last year was over 2400 pages long, and I called it A Man Without Love.

	A Small Victory: Blankets: Review
		Too often, graphic novels are cast off as nothing more than kid stuff, pronounced so be people who say the word comics with a sneer.
		I've long been a proponent of the graphic novel as literature (see here, here and here).
		What sets Corrigan and Blankets apart from other GN's like Sandman, is these stories were not serialized before being set into graphic novel form.

		During the Napoleonic era of the novels, the word "murrain" meant any pestilence or plague, whether it afflicted humans or animals.
		That is the name of a Spanish warship cited in the novels, which literally translates as "poop fire." While not a medical term, it might be a great name for a hot pepper sauce.
		The 20-volume Aubrey/Maturin novels were called "the best historical novels ever written," by a reviewer for the New York Times.

	Books : The Great American Novel
		Philip Roth's THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL is a big, bulbous, brocaded, bullshooting joke whether viewed from the box seats behind home plate or way in the back row of the right field bleachers-but let me not get pulled into the alliterative traps in which Roth indulges himself by way of his narrator, one Word Smith.
		In this ribald, richly imagined, and wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.
		What the novel purports to be is a novel about the "Great American Novel", written by one Word Smith (or Smitty).

	Jargon, slang, and niche vocabularies
		"Caesar", as a title of the Roman Emperor, or an associate of an emperor, entered both German and Russian as the word for "emperor" (respectively, "kaiser" and "tsar"); the Bulgarian word "tsar" is usually translated to "king".
		In English and the western Romance languages, "imperator" was the word that won out.
		Besides the king's pyramid, there were often queens' pyramids for his wives huddled at its base and a small "subsidiary pyramid" that served some uncertain ritual function.

	Faggot (epithet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word faggot does have a native slang meaning in Britain, especially northern England, where it commonly denotes a silly or foolish person—someone who is "as a dumb as a bundle of sticks." In the pilot episode of the Britcom In Loving Memory from Yorkshire Television, undertaker Jeremiah Unsworth is taken under by an accident.
		It has been frequently said that the pejorative use of the word derives from "faggot" in the sense of a bundle of sticks, because homosexual men were burned at the stake for sodomy and faggots were used as kindling.
		It is more likely this use of faggot was originally a derogatory term for street prostitutes, female and male, because they were associated with "the gutter", where "faggot-ends" of meat were thrown by butchers.

	Twentieth Century Literature: 20th century AD
		In the epistolary novel and in the many modern women's novels which play (and I use the word "play" deliberately) with epistolary conventions, the writing itself is action and plot, action and plot which refuse the kind of closure informing other narratives.
		If the epistolary novel is not exclusively a woman's form, it conforms (if such a word can be used in relation to a style of writing which is against conformation) to l'ecriture feminine, which "undermines the linguistic, syntactical, and metaphysical conventions of Western narrative" (Showalter 9).
		In those emerging in the second half of the twentieth century, however, as in other types of modern novels by women, the women are concerned with much more than their love lives.

	UFL Conference on Comics & Graphic Novels 2002
		The power of the graphic novel to develop an expression that is deep with ambiguity and resistant to paraphrase is important to demonstrate in answer to the assertion that illustration necessarily limits or confines the possibilities of the word.
		Ernst's novel in collage demonstrates the ability of the graphic narrative to "evoke" responses from the reader in a fashion similar to the evocations of poetry or other word arts.
		Vonnegut's manner of deploying his images is distinct from the "illustrated novel" although most of the images are nominally representational.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Trinity
		The word trias (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A.D. He speaks of "the Trinity of God [the Father], His Word and His Wisdom ("Ad.
		The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion -- the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.
		Hence, inasmuch as there was full agreement between the two bodies in regard to the Trinity, we have here again a clear proof that Trinitarianism was an article of faith at a time when the Apostolic tradition was far too recent for any error to have arisen on apoint so vital.

	JG Ballard
		This nearly word-for-word repetition of material from the “New Novel” collage would indicate that it was not only the title of the 1966 story which was a hangover from the 1950s.
		Although it didn’t closely resemble the condensed novels of later years, it was no doubt unconventional in form, with parts resembling a film script and parts which amounted to prose poetry: a “hot steaming confection” incorporating a good deal of scientific and psychoanalytical terminology and many surrealistic juxtapositions.
		Thus the condensed novels of The Atrocity Exhibition sequence were born: the later stories drop the alphabetization gimmick, but they retain the other features, so that “You and Me and the Continuum” can be seen almost as a halfway stage between “Confetti Royale” (and MacBeth’s “The Ski Murders”) and Ballard’s The Atrocity Exhibition stories proper.

	Amazon.com: Exodus: Books: Leon Uris
		The novel was extremely topical, for it dealt with the creation of modern-day Israel, a highly controversial event--and one well within the memory of most adult readers of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
		The novel is also somewhat controversial, for it is written from an extremely Zionist position, and for Uris this position is fundamental to all else.
		There are more than a few passages that will cause modern readers to think "But it didn't turn out that way, did it?" And some readers may consider the novel as anti-British and anti-Arabian as the anti-Semitism the book so loudly decries.
