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.
