World Englishes and Culture Wars - (Cambridge Approaches to Language Contact) by Braj B Kachru (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 320Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Cambridge Approaches to Language ContactFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Braj B KachruLanguage: English About the Book This book is about the contact of English with diverse languages and cultures, and its concurrent indigenization and speciation. Book Synopsis Written from a non-Western perspective, this book exposes the inadequacy of oppositions such as native versus non-native Englishes and English versus New Englishes. It explains why the label 'World Englishes' captures both what the different Englishes share and how they differ from each other. It also criticizes the kinds of power asymmetries that have evolved between the Inner, Outer, and Expanding Circles of English, while showing the extent to which the Outer Circle has enriched their common language and made it suitable for both its heritage and non-heritage users. The narrative is grounded in a wealth of historical knowledge, especially that of the colonization of the Outer Circle. Readers are invited to compare the spread and differentiation of English with those of Latin, which evolved into the Romance languages. This comparison may leave the reader asking: could English break up into Anglian languages? Review Quotes 'A classic collection that enlarges and illuminates a range of key issues relating to culture, literary creativity, linguistic inquiry, multilingualism and the dynamics of Englishes worldwide ... Essential reading for all those interested in the theoretical underpinnings of World Englishes as an academic discipline.' Kingsley Bolton, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore'This consolidated version of Braj B. Kachru's seminal and still relevant research on the postcolonial roles, forms and functions of English will continue to challenge and serve a new generation of students and researchers.'

Linguistic Penalties and the Job Interview - (Studies in Communication in Organisations and Professions) by Celia Roberts (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 290Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Studies in Communication in Organisations and ProfessionsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Equinox Publishing (UK)Age Range: AdultBook theme: SociolinguisticsAuthor: Celia RobertsLanguage: English About the Book This book examines the role of language and interaction in constructing the job interview and how this role produces disadvantage in the linguistically diverse communities of the Western world. Book Synopsis Linguistic Penalties and the Job Interview looks at a relatively untapped area of language and social life: the role of language and interaction in constructing the job interview and how this role produces disadvantage in the linguistically diverse communities of the Western world. It relates the specific activity of the job interview to the wider field of institutional discourse and discusses relevant social theories in the light of the data.The volume considers job interviews as key 'gatekeeping' encounters within the workplace from two main perspectives: interviews as extreme examples of social evaluation, showing how inferential processes of moment-to-moment talk in interaction can lead to the 'small tragedies' of everyday life; and interviews as a window into social inequality more generally. It illustrates interactional sociolinguistic and linguistic ethnography methodology through the job interview and workplace data and argues for the importance of practical relevance - applying sociolinguistic analysis to educational interventions.

First and Second Language Acquisition - (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics) by J"urgen M Meisel (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 322Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Cambridge Textbooks in LinguisticsFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: PsycholinguisticsAuthor: Jürgen M MeiselLanguage: English About the Book This is the first textbook to systematically compare first and second language acquisition drawing on data from several languages. Book Synopsis Infants and very young children develop almost miraculously the ability of speech, without apparent effort, without even being taught - as opposed to the teenager or the adult struggling without, it seems, ever being able to reach the same level of proficiency as five-year olds in their first language. This useful textbook serves as a guide to different types of language acquisition: monolingual and bilingual first language development and child and adult second language acquisition. Unlike other books, it systematically compares first and second language acquisition, drawing on data from several languages. Research questions and findings from various subfields are helpfully summarized to show students how they are related and how they often complement each other. The essential guide to studying first and second language acquisition, it will be used on courses in linguistics, modern languages and developmental psychology. Review Quotes " ... an excellent textbook on similarities and differences between first and second language acquisition, but also an insightful and provocative synthesis of research on this topic." --Fred Genesee, Psychology Department, McGill University

For anyone looking to do some hands-on investigations on language using existing corpora, this book can only be highly recommended. This textbook is a valuable addition to existing literature on corpus-linguistic methods of research and contributes greatly to making corpus linguistics more approachable to students.--Stephanie Ullmann "Corpus Pragmatics"The updated edition of Corpus Linguistics and the Description of English makes an outstanding introductory book on corpus linguistics. It covers the most important basics of corpus linguistics methodology in a highly accessible way, and illustrates the applications of corpus linguistic analysis in some of the most prominent areas of English language description in a nontechnical manner. The study questions, hands-on exercises, and further reading provided at the end of each chapter dramatically improve its suitability as a textbook for a first course on corpus linguistics for undergraduate and master's students in English language and literature. Readers of the first edition will also find the new edition decidedly superior, with its new coverage of social media, DIY corpora, and ethical concerns, new materials on metonymy and pragmatics, comprehensive information on new corpora, and numerous updated example investigations, exercises, and study questions.--Xiaofei Lu "Journal of English Linguistics"Two generations of corpus linguists teamed up for this edition, and the authors' profound expertise in research and teaching is clearly in evidence throughout, both in the concise discussion of key issues and the thoughtful methodology of exercises. Through its systematic structure, the book can easily and profitably be used as a week-by-week semester textbook or, alternatively, provides self-contained study units in specialist seminars that seek to integrate a corpus perspective.--Stefan Diemer, Trier University of Applied Sciences "ICAME, Volume 44, 2020" About the Author Hans Lindquist is professor of English Linguistics at Malmö University, Sweden.

Monolingualism of the Other Or, the Prosthesis of Origin - (Cultural Memory in the Present) by Jacques Derrida (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 112Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Cultural Memory in the PresentFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Stanford University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Jacques DerridaLanguage: English About the Book I have but one language--yet that language is not mine. This book intertwines theoretical reflection with historical and cultural particularity to enunciate, then analyze this conundrum in terms of the distinguished author's own relationship to the French language. Its argument touches on several issues relevant to the current debates on multiculturalism. Book Synopsis "I have but one language--yet that language is not mine." This book intertwines theoretical reflection with historical and cultural particularity to enunciate, then analyze this conundrum in terms of the author's own relationship to the French language. The book operates on three levels. At the first level, a theoretical inquiry investigates the relation between individuals and their "own" language. It also explores the structural limits, desires, and interdictions inherent in such "possession," as well as the corporeal aspect of language (its accents, tones, and rhythms) and the question of the "countability" of languages (that is, their discreteness or factual givenness). At the second level, the author testifies to aspects of his acculturation as an Algerian Jew with respect to language acquisition, schooling, citizenship, and the dynamics of cultural-political exclusion and inclusion. At the third level, the book is comparative, drawing on statements from a wide range of figures, from the Moroccan Abdelkebir Khatibi to Franz Rosenzweig, Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, and Emmanuel Levinas. Since one of the book's central themes is the question of linguistic and cultural identity, its argument touches on several issues relevant to the current debates on multiculturalism. These issues include the implementation of colonialism in the schools, the tacit or explicit censorship that excludes other (indigenous) languages from serious critical consideration, the investment in an ideal of linguistic purity, and the problematics of translation. The author also reveals the complex interplay of psychological factors that invests the subject of identity with the desire to recover a "lost" language of origin and with the ambition to master the language of the colonizer. From the Back Cover "In this elegant and engaging essay, Derrida turns to the subject of Derrida as Algerian Jew and as a dissociated Francophone."--The Front Table"Clearly, Derrida is bravely turning away from decades of structuralist thinking that made even the slightest hint of transcendence into an intellectual taboo."--Substance Review Quotes Clearly, Derrida is bravely turning away from decades of structuralist thinking that made even the slightest hint of transcendence into an intellectual taboo.--SubstanceDerrida has produced a text which takes philosophy and autobiography into the closest possible proximity; yet the result is something far more significant than the personal reminiscences of a philosopher.--Times Literary SupplementIn this elegant and engaging essay, Derrida turns to the subject of Derrida as Algerian Jew and as a dissociated Francophone.--The Front Table About the Author Jacques Derrida was Director of Studies at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and Professor of Humanities at the University of California, Irvine.

Construction Grammar and Its Application to English - (Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language - Advanced) 2nd Edition by Martin Hilpert
Number of Pages: 232Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language - AdvancedFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Edinburgh University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: SyntaxAuthor: Martin HilpertLanguage: English About the Book Construction Grammar explains how knowledge of language is organized in speakers' minds. The central and radical claim of Construction Grammar is that linguistic knowledge can be fully described as knowledge of constructions, which are defined as symbolic units that connect a linguistic form with meaning. Book Synopsis What do speakers of English know in order to produce utterances that other speakers will understand? Construction Grammar explains how knowledge of language is organized in speakers' minds. The central and radical claim of Construction Grammar is that linguistic knowledge can be fullydescribed as knowledge of constructions, which are defined as symbolic units that connect a linguistic form with meaning. The implications of this claim are far-reaching: in Construction Grammar, not only lexical items, but also syntactic patterns are seen as symbolic, meaningful units. Instead ofbeing meaningless structural templates, syntactic patterns actively contribute to the overall meaning of an utterance. Knowledge of language is thought of as a vast repository of interrelated symbolic units, and nothing else in addition. This book expands on this idea and familiarizes readers withthe central concepts of Construction Grammar, as applied to English constructions. In the process, it explains how the theory of Construction Grammar relates to issues of language processing, language acquisition, and language variation and change. From the Back Cover Headline: An introduction to Construction Grammar, as applied to English Martin Hilpert introduces the central concepts of Construction Grammar, as applied to English constructions. In the process, he lays out how the theory of Construction Grammar relates to the issues of language processing, language acquisition, and language variation and change. Since the first edition of this book came out, Construction Grammar has gained in popularity, and it has undergone a number of significant theoretical and methodological developments. The new edition captures these developments and presents an updated, more comprehensive view of Construction Grammar. Key features of the new edition include: - A new chapter on constructions in spoken language (chapter 9) - A new chapter on constructions across grammar which explores issues of bilingualism, language contact and second language acquisition (chapter 10) - Updates throughout the other chapters reflect recent developments and new ideas in constructional research. - Exercises, discussion questions and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter encourage reflection and further study - A series of ten video lectures accompanying the book are available via YouTube Review Quotes An accessible introduction to the principles of CxG.--The Year's Work in English StudiesHilpert's book delivers on its promise to be an introduction to CxG and its application to various linguistic subdisciplines... At the end of each chapter there are a number of study questions, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. In addition, a series of video lectures accompanies the book. An accessible textbook with a few more technical chapters, such as the one of information packaging, it will make a great introductory text for undergraduate students interested in Construction Grammar and its application to English.--Lieselotte brems, University of Liege About the Author Martin Hilpert works as Assistant Professor of English Linguistics at the Université de Neuchâtel. Besides Construction Grammar, his research interests include corpus linguistics, language variation and change, and cognitive linguistics.

The Gospel of John in Greek and Latin - by Edgar Evan Hayes & Stephen a Nimis & Virginia Grinch (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 378Genre: Foreign Language StudySub-Genre: Ancient Languages (see also Latin)Format: PaperbackPublisher: Faenum Publishing, Ltd.Age Range: AdultAuthor: Edgar Evan Hayes & Stephen a Nimis & Virginia GrinchLanguage: English Book Synopsis The aim of this book is to make the Gospel of John accessible simultaneously to intermediate students of Ancient Greek and Latin. There are lots of resources available for the study of John's gospel, particularly in Greek, but this edition juxtaposes the Greek text to one of its most famous translations: the rendering into Latin by St. Jerome known as the vulgate. The running vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page, so that readers can progress through the text, improving their knowledge of Greek and/or Latin while reading one of the key texts of early Christianity. For those who know both Greek and Latin, it will be possible to use one language as a resource to read the other. Meanwhile, the vulgate is a key index of how the Greek text was understood by early Christians in the Latin west.The Gospel of John is a great text for intermediate readers of both Greek and Latin. It is one of our best examples of koine Greek, the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean for centuries after the time of Alexander the Great. The sentence structure is very simple and there is a great deal of repetition in vocabulary and syntax. The Latin translation follows the Greek closely, translating word for word as much as possible, so that it is a fascinating exercise in translation.

Number of Pages: 244Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsSeries Title: Cambridge Introductions to Language and LinguisticsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Muriel Saville-Troike & Karen BartoLanguage: English About the Book Third edition of the leading interdisciplinary introduction to second language acquisition, covering linguistic, psychological and social aspects. Book Synopsis Providing a solid foundation in second language acquisition, this book has become the leading introduction to the subject for students of linguistics, psychology and education, and trainee language teachers. Now in its third edition, the textbook offers comprehensive coverage of fundamental concepts, including second language acquisition (SLA) in adults and children, in formal and informal learning contexts, and in diverse socio-cultural settings, and takes an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging students to consider SLA from linguistic, psychological and social perspectives. Each chapter contains a list of key terms, a summary, and a range of graded exercises suitable for self-testing and class discussion. The third edition has been revised throughout, and features new material on the practical aspects of teaching language, along with updated online resources, including new classroom activities to accompany each chapter, as well as updated references and further reading suggestions. Review Quotes ... combines great clarity of exposition, a focus on the linguistics of second language acquisition, and an effort to integrate diverse theoretical perspectives into a complex understanding of second language acquisition as a whole - all in less than 300 pages. While billed as a textbook for undergraduates, this text could easily be used in graduate-level introductory courses in second language acquisition. The chapter-ending discussion questions and activities, as well as a handy glossary of terms, make this more than just a textbook, however: it provides many of the materials needed to design an introductory course in the subject.

Ella Baker's Catalytic Leadership, 2 - (Communication for Social Justice Activism) by Patricia S Parker (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 198Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Communication StudiesSeries Title: Communication for Social Justice ActivismFormat: PaperbackPublisher: University of California PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Patricia S ParkerLanguage: English About the Book "Ella Baker (1903-1986) was an influential African American civil rights and human rights activist. For five decades she worked behind the scenes with people in vulnerable communities to catalyze social justice leadership. Her steadfast belief in the power of ordinary people to create change continues to inspire social justice activists around the world. This book describes a case study that translates Ella Baker's community engagement philosophy into a 'catalytic leadership praxis' that others can adapt for their work. Catalytic leadership is a concrete set of communication practices for social justice leadership produced in equitable partnership with, instead of on, communities. The case centers the voices of African American teen girls who were living in a segregated neighborhood of an affluent college town and became part of a small collective of college students, parents, university faculty, and community activists learning leadership in the spirit of Ella Baker"-- Book Synopsis Ella Baker (1903-1986) was an influential African American civil rights and human rights activist. For five decades, she worked behind the scenes with people in vulnerable communities to catalyze social justice leadership. Her steadfast belief in the power of ordinary people to create change continues to inspire social justice activists around the world. This book describes a case study that translates Ella Baker's community engagement philosophy into a catalytic leadership praxis, which others can adapt for their work. Catalytic leadership is a concrete set of communication practices for social justice leadership produced in equitable partnership with, instead of on, communities. The case centers the voices of African American teenage girls who were living in a segregated neighborhood of an affluent college town and became part of a small collective of college students, parents, university faculty, and community activists learning leadership in the spirit of Ella Baker. From the Back Cover "Patricia S. Parker's book revisits Ella Baker's extraordinary legacy and the ways in which her vision of catalytic leadership can be modeled and practiced in contemporary social movements. Parker's meticulously detailed case study of the carefully crafted Ella Baker Women's Center for Leadership and Community Activism, which she founded in 2007, is the best example of a university-community partnership committed to the empowerment of African American girls. This primer provides a road map for producing community-engaged scholarship and also shows what it means to seriously and ethically engage in social justice leadership across generations."--Beverly Guy-Sheftall, founding director of the Women's Research and Resource Center at Spelman College "Anyone trying to understand the waves of social activism now changing the country would do well to start with this analysis of Ella Baker's thinking about collective leadership, which is rooted in a case study of a dynamic contemporary activist organization that works to make participatory democracy more than a phrase." --Charles M. Payne, author of I've Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle "A significant and timely contribution to community-engaged scholarship. Detailing the catalytic leadership of Ella Baker and focusing on Black teen girls following in Baker's footsteps, Patricia S. Parker offers an innovative guide to communication and coalition-building for social change."--Sarah J. Jackson, Presidential Associate Professor, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania "With fluid, accessible prose, insightful analysis, and compelling stories, Patricia S. Parker's new book Ella Baker's Catalytic Leadership embodies Black feminist praxis. Providing a rich connection between Baker's theories and practices and Parker's own community engaged practices, this innovative approach offers a path for activist/scholars to develop a model of truly reciprocal, meaningful, change-making work. "--Ralina L. Joseph, author of Postracial Resistance: Black Women, Media, and the Uses of Strategic Ambiguity "Parker excites the imagination by providing a vivid, conversational, thought-provoking opportunity to envision change in our daily lives. Grounded deeply in theoretical insights and practical strategies, this work details how Ella Baker engaged in grassroots and community change, but also offers a new form of leadership premised on social justice to address issues that matter today. Juxtaposing historical and contemporary movements that demonstrate Black women's and girls' roles in community organizing for equity and well being, this book showcases positive and replicable examples of how ordinary people can work toward and visualize themselves as leaders for a more just and sustainable world."--Patrice M. Buzzanell, Professor and Chair, Department of Communication, University of South Florida About the Author Patricia S. Parker is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Study of Language - 7th Edition by George Yule (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 420Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: Language ArtsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: George YuleLanguage: English About the Book Easy to follow, simple to understand, broad yet concise - this fundamental introduction now has more study questions and new tasks. Book Synopsis This bestselling textbook provides an engaging and user-friendly introduction to the study of language. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule presents information in bite-sized sections, clearly explaining the major concepts in linguistics and all the key elements of language. This seventh edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes to the chapters on phonetics and semantics, and forty new study questions. To increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, the book includes over twenty new tasks. An expanded and revised online study guide provides students with further resources, including answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language. Review Quotes 'This is unequivocally a best-selling, internationally acclaimed book that has proven to be ideal for beginners when it comes to an introduction to linguistics. Given the fact that this is the 7th edition of the book, it is clear it has impressed many minds across the world and will continue to shed light onto linguistics and inspiring more and more generations of students.' Claudia Sanchez, LINGUIST List'... an impeccably organized introduction to linguistics.' Geraldine Bard, Buffalo State College, State University of New York'... the 7th edition of The Study of Language continues the charm of Yule's introductory method for student and instructor, offering intellectually manageable chunks of information to first-time learners of linguistics, with ample space for elaboration and practice in the classroom.' Aaron Smith, Illinois State University'In this beautifully exemplified and coherently structured book, Yule guides readers through the various aspects of language study. This is an ideal introduction to linguistics for students and practitioners with a general interest in language. This edition is enriched with study questions and tasks which will be particularly useful to readers.' Sofia Lampropoulou, University of Liverpool'My students continue to rate this text highly for its depth, creativity, and accessibility. In my opinion, The Study of Language ought to be required reading for education majors and pre-service teachers; indeed, for any student who wishes to effectively use language as a tool in their profession.' Thomas Hunter, Martin Luther College, Minnesota'The Study of Language provides a solid overview of an impressively wide range of areas in linguistics, not only 'core' areas such as syntax and phonology, but also the origins of language, pragmatics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics and more. Each chapter succeeds in providing a thorough overview of its topic while remaining at a level appropriate to newcomers in the field. The book is written in a style accessible even to non-native English speakers. A great book for introductory undergraduate linguistics classes. The study questions and tasks at the end of each chapter are engaging and the discussion topics/projects are designed to push students beyond the material, and to use their own experiences and analytical skills to think about language.' Kathleen O'Connor, Université Charles-de-Gaulle Lille III'With a wide array of illustrative examples, accessible explanations, and engaging activities, Yule excels in transforming his readers' inherent familiarity with language into explicit knowledge of linguistic concepts. In its seventh edition, The Study of Language thus retains its status as the pre-eminent text for introducing students to language as a field of study and guiding them through a broad range of linguistic analyses.' Kristy Beers Fagersten, Södertörn University, Sweden

How to Teach English Spelling - by John J Fulford (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 144Genre: Language + Art + DisciplinesSub-Genre: SpellingFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Astoria PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: John J FulfordLanguage: English About the Book This book, written by an experienced English teacher and the author of The Complete Guide to English Spelling Rules, is a great aide for those teachers and parents who struggle to teach their students how to spell and keep wondering if there is a better method. The spelling rules are explained simply and clearly with examples. Book Synopsis English spelling is complex, confusing, and often seems illogical. Teaching English spelling often seems a thankless task. No matter what techniques the teacher or parent uses, the results are often disappointing.This book, written by an experienced English teacher and the author of The Complete Guide to English Spelling Rules, should bring a sigh of relief to those teachers and parents who struggle to teach their students how to spell and keep wondering if there is a better method.What is wildly radical about the teaching method offered in this book? Simply, the students need to know why the word is spelled that way. They must know the rules that govern how we spell words. The student must also know how to break a word into syllables and pronounce it correctly. Once your students have grasped the why and the how, they will have gained a familiarity with that word and will be able to place it firmly in their long-term memories.Created as a companion book to The Complete Guide to English Spelling Rules, the fifty-two chapters in this book cover everything. The spelling rules are explained simply and clearly with examples. And the book is arranged so that the teacher or parent can choose which chapters to teach and which to leave for another time.For busy teachers, the most valuable part of this book will be the 151 carefully chosen word lists. From these lists the teacher or parent can choose words according to individual students' abilities.
