Valjevska Podgorina is a region in western Serbia. Podgorina is a geographical, ethnographic, historic and administrative area around the upstream portions of the rivers Kolubara, Jadar, Tamnava and their tributaries. The speech of Valjevska Podgorina has not been studied in detail, nor has it been the subject of a monograph, except in the form of partial references in the context of vocalism. In view of this, the aim and main purpose of this thesis is to fill in another blank section of the Serbian dialect map, taking into consideration the following two most prominent and most significant features in terms of linguistic geography: definition of the southern border of yat dialects and definition of the points of contact with ijekavian-ekavian speeches. In accordance with the standard principles of traditional Serbian dialectology, the thesis is written by using the methods of linguistic geography and descriptive and comparative methods for the analysis of the materials, which are classified according to these principles. The thesis analyses characteristic prosodic, phonetic and morphological features of the idiom belonging to the speeches with unsubstituted yat (subdialect of Šumadija-Vojvodina dialect) in northwest Serbia, as well as of the idiom belonging to ijekavian-ekavian speeches of the Eastern Herzegovinian dialect in western Serbia. From the prosodic viewpoint, the thesis describes the inventory and distribution of prosodemes, (confirming the steady Neo-Shtokavian system) and the fate of posttonic length, concluding that Daničić's posttonic length has been well preserved in this region. From the phonetic and phonological standpoint, the thesis presents the inventory and distribution of phonemes; ascertaining that different outcomes of old yat differentiate the studied area. From the morphological viewpoint, the thesis analyses the morphological features of the speech - declension, conjugation and unchangeable words.

When Marshal Hong breaks the seals which generations of Taoist Masters have placed on the temple doors to hold back 108 incarcerated Demon Princes, powerful forces of disorder are released. One after another, brave men fall out with officialdom and are obliged to join the brotherhood of the rivers and lakes-the mixed company of heroes and vagabonds who live by their wits and their fighting skills. The story of The Broken Seals branches this way and that, following first one hero, then another, as their paths converge and part, until finally 108 brave-but not entirely admirable-men are united at the outlaws' stronghold in the Marshes of Mount Liang.The story takes us through the vast landscape of imperial China. We hear of epic duels, gargantuan feasts, and cunning ambushes, and we witness injustice, betrayal, murder and revenge. We are told also of the beauty of the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival or of the snow, crisp underfoot on a stormy night in the country.This volume consists of the first twenty-two chapters of the full 120-chapter version of the classic Chinese novel by Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong. It is the first English translation based on this version and including much of the verse. It offers the English reader something of the liveliness and humour of a work which has delighted generations of Chinese readers.
