Cambridge University Press A Linguistic Geography of Africa
Book SynopsisResearch on African languages has been preoccupied with understanding similarities across the four distinct language families. This book discusses whether structural similarities and dissimilarities among African languages are the result of contact between these languages, and demonstrates that such similarities are more common than is widely believed.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… it is a data-driven volume written by experienced Africanists with expertise spanning the continent. … the volume as a whole has the potential to encourage linguists working with apparent genetic units in Africa to consider how areal features contribute to our conceptualisation of 'relatedness' and to re-assess the importance of genetic units in accounting for similarities across languages within a particular geographical area where contact is attested or historically likely.' Journal of LinguisticsTable of Contents1. Introduction Bernd Heine and Derek Nurse; 2. Is Africa a linguistic area? Bernd Heine and Zelealem Leyew; 3. Africa as a phonological area Nick Clements and Annie Rialland; 4. Africa as a morphosyntactic area Denis Creissels, Gerrit J. Dimmendaal, Zygmunt Frajzyngier and Christa König; 5. The Macro-Sudan belt Tom Güldemann; 6. The Tanzanian Rift Valley area Roland Kießling, Maarten Mous and Derek Nurse; 7. Ethiopia Joachim Crass and Ronny Meyer; 8.

Cambridge University Press The Language of Organizational Styling
Book SynopsisThis is the first book-length study of the linguistics of organizational styling, looking at the language and semiotic resources used by holiday resorts, pharmaceutical companies, restaurants and insurance companies in order to project their identities, and style themselves.Trade Review'By juxtaposing the styling of persons and organizations, this important book elegantly demonstrates how we are shaped by corporate actors as they shape themselves and organizational others through their discursive force. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars in sociolinguistics, management and organization studies, and the field of communication.' Boris H. J. M. Brummans, Université de Montréal'Full of fascinating case studies and new theoretical insights, and brilliantly written, Lionel Wee's book explains how organisations large and small build and exploit corporate images and engage in style wars. The Language of Organizational Styling breaks important new ground for sociolinguistics.' Nikolas Coupland, University of Copenhagen and University of Technology Sydney'… a fascinating read for anyone interested in the process of how businesses promote themselves through specific language choices. Language has power, and this book explores the power behind linguistic choices.' S. E. Vie, Choice'In sociolinguistics, and more particularly in social semiotics, Lionel Wee has attempted to break new ground … Wee's perspective that the styling of organizations is fundamentally different from (yet related to) that of individuals emerges as a particularly salient theme.' Sebastian Muth, Journal of SociolinguisticsTable of Contents1. Introduction: the organization as a corporate actor; 2. Styling: from persons to organizations; 3. Enterprise culture as a master ethical regime; 4. Size matters: the semiotics of big versus small businesses; 5. When Peter meets Harry: the emotional labor of organizations; 6. Organizational restyling; 7. Styling the organizational other; 8. Organizations and speakers: structure and agency in language.

Cambridge University Press Working with English Grammar
Book SynopsisThis clear and concise introduction offers students of linguistics and English language a comprehensive overview of English grammar, including word structure, major and minor word classes, phrases, clauses and sentences. Based on twenty years'' teaching practice, Louise Cummings adopts a unique approach of using three real-world contexts - first language acquisition, language disorders and non-standard dialects - as a pedagogical tool to make grammatical concepts meaningful to students and to improve engagement and understanding. In seven accessible chapters, students are encouraged to develop the analytical skills they require to give a comprehensive description of the grammar of the English language. A range of supportive learning aids is used, including: Learning objectives and section ''key points'' summaries Varied examples from world Englishes and print media Homework assignments, exercises and revision questions Targeted further reading suggestions and ''special topics'' boxTrade Review'… innovative and unique, and a delight to use in the classroom.' Seth Mehl, University of Sheffield'At last, an introduction to English grammar which presents the real thing! Packed with carefully chosen examples of the grammatical features of real Englishes - local and global, developing and stable, impaired and unimpaired - this book engages students through discovery and sustained practice. Louise Cummings' direct and compelling exposition, presenting Standard English as a frame of reference rather than the 'source code', will inspire students to approach grammar as a living system, relevant to their own experiences.' Christopher J. Hall, York St John University'… a wonderful resource for those whose focus is the understanding of and the use of English grammar …' Owen G. Mordaunt, International DialogueTable of ContentsList of figures and tables; List of exercises; List of special topics; Preface; Acknowledgements; 1. The study of grammar; 2. Word structure; 3. Major word classes; 4. Minor word classes; 5. Phrases; 6. Clauses; 7. Sentences; Answers; Appendices; Glossary; Bibliography; Index.
