Taylor & Francis Gender Articulated
Book SynopsisGender Articulated is a groundbreaking work of sociolinguistics that forges new connections between language-related fields and feminist theory. Refuting apolitical, essentialist perspectives on language and gender, the essays presented here examine a range of cultures, languages and settings. They explicitly connect feminist theory to language research. Some of the most distinguished scholars working in the field of language and gender today discuss such topics as Japanese women''s appropriation of men''s language, the literary representation of lesbian discourse, the silencing of women on the Internet, cultural mediation and Spanish use at New Mexican weddings and the uses of silence in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings.Table of Contentsneeds: left accent e #13 Mary Bucholtz -- Introduction: Twenty Years After Language and Woman's Place PART I: MECHANISMS OF HEGEMONY AND CONTROL 1 Robin Tolmach Lakoff -- Cries and Whispers: The Shattering of the Silence 2 Norma Mendoza-Denton -- Pregnant Pauses: Silence and Authority in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas Hearings 3 Susan-Herring, Deborah A.

The University of Michigan Press Perspectives on Good Writing in Applied
Book SynopsisOffers insights into effective writing in first and additional languages at the college and university level. Readers will find first-person accounts of learning to write and publish in English, conceptual articulations on the nature of writing and publishing, and how perspectives on good writing shape teacher feedback and writing curricula.Trade ReviewPerspectives on Good Writing in Applied Linguistics and TESOL does justice to its title given the kaleidoscope of perspectives contributed by a stellar lineup of writing teachers and scholars. They offer diverse perspectives on factors shaping beliefs and values about what good writing is, including social, cultural, and institutional expectations; disciplinary socialization; and reflexivity on one’s own practices. The kaleidoscope of perspectives is also evident in their reflections on writing itself (covering established as well as new digital genres, writing by transnational writers, and translingual literacy practices), and on teaching, assessing, and responding to writing. The book represents true advances in current understandings of what good writing is, and should be a staple on every shelf." - Rosa ManchÓn, University of Murcia, Spain"I am thrilled to read an academic book on good writing in which every chapter and every bibliographic statement is written in the first person. This is a complete—and so welcome—reversal from when I was forced to write my Ph.D. thesis in the passive voice. Perspectives on Good Writing in Applied Linguistics and TESOL lives up to its title. It begins and builds the needed conversations about what good writing is, and does so in an accessible, engaging, page-turning manner. What more could one ask for?" - Merrill Swain, University of Toronto

Cambridge University Press Reflexive Language
Book SynopsisThis volume examines the nature and significance of the reflexive capacity of natural language, its ability to represent its own structure and use through reported speech and explicit statements about language use (metapragmatics).Trade Review"...[the] high quality of most of the papers in the volume, and Lucy's excellent job of framing and summarizing them, make it a uselful resource for linguists interested in issues of reported speech, code-switching, genre-identification, indexicality, authority in language, literary voice, or the broader theortical implications of the notion of "metalanguage"." Language"...the volume offers something for linguists of many tastes; the editor deserves special credit for making the menu clearly visisble, and the whole digestible."

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge History of Linguistics
Book SynopsisThe establishment of language as a focus of study took place over many centuries, and reflection on its nature emerged in relation to very different social and cultural practices. Written by a team of leading scholars, this volume provides an authoritative, chronological account of the history of the study of language from ancient times to the end of the 20th century (i.e., ''recent history'', when modern linguistics greatly expanded). Comprised of 29 chapters, it is split into 3 parts, each with an introduction covering the larger context of interest in language, especially the different philosophical, religious, and/or political concerns and socio-cultural practices of the times. At the end of the volume, there is a combined list of all references cited and a comprehensive index of topics, languages, major figures, etc. Comprehensive in its scope, it is an essential reference for researchers, teachers and students alike in linguistics and related disciplines.Trade Review'This multi-authored volume surveys the fascinating history of the study of language, from its beginnings in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to the diversification of the language sciences in the past half-century. The wide chronological and geographical scope, the broad view of the language sciences in their relation to psychology, sociology and anthropology, the accuracy of historiographical analysis, avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, and the comprehensive coverage up to the most recent developments, make the CHL a major reference work for teachers and students of linguistics, and readers interested in the fascinating history of language study.' Pierre Swiggers, University of Leuven and Université de Liège'The Cambridge History of linguistics is an impressive one-volume accomplishment which is remarkable by its depth - it spans more than twenty centuries of learned thinking about language - by its breadth - across centuries and across continents - and by the diversity of its themes - a fresco across centuries with a large section devoted to present-day linguistics and interdisciplinary work on language.'

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Phonetic Data Analysis
Book SynopsisPhonetic Data Analysis examines the procedures involved in describing the sounds of a language and illustrates the basic techniques of experimental phonetics, most of them requiring little more than a tape recorder, a video camera, and a computer.Trade Review"This is a wonderful book – one we have all been waiting for, perhaps without knowing it, and one that will make us wonder how we ever did without it. I look forward to recommending it to anyone undertaking an instrumental phonetic investigation." Nina Grønnum, University of Copenhagen "Phonetic Data Analysis is one of the most useful linguistics books written in the last 25 years. With his trademark clarity of thought and expression, Peter Ladefoged has written a book that is sure to be a classic. Every field linguist should own a copy of this book. I plan to carry it with me and follow its suggestions in all my future field research in the Amazon." Dan Everett, University of Manchester "Peter Ladefoged is widely acknowledged as the world's leading phonetician. I warmly recommend this unique and remarkable new book to students and professionals interested in phonetic fieldwork or experimental phonetics. It is deeply practical and very easy to understand; it is also full of illuminating personal experience from a lifetime of investigating hundreds of languages in every inhabited continent." John Laver, Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh "This is a very useful and personal book. Peter Ladefoged brings us along for a phonetic field trip where serious research is always interspersed with the joy of getting to know one another. This book will show you how to make your own palatography mirrors (ask a mirror-maker for help!) and how doing phonetics really well can make for a fascinating life."

Edinburgh University Press An Introduction to Late Modern English
Book SynopsisSome twenty years ago it was widely believed that nothing much happened to the English language since the beginning of the eighteenth century. Recent research has shown that this is far from true, and this book offers an introduction to a period that forms the tail end of the standardisation process (codification and prescription), during which important social changes such as the Industrial Revolution are reflected in the language. Late Modern English is currently receiving a lot of scholarly attention, mainly as a result of new developments in sociohistorical linguistics and corpus linguistics. By drawing on such research the present book offers a much fuller account of the language of the period than was previously possible. It is designed for students and beginning scholars interested in Late Modern English. The volume includes: * a basis in recent research by which sociolinguistic models are applied to earlier stages of the language (1700-1900) * a focus on people as speakers (wherever possible) and writers of English* Research questions aimed at acquiring skills at working with important electronic research tools such as Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), the Oxford English Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography* Reference to electronically available texts and databases such as Martha Ballard''s Diary, the Proceedings of the Old Bailey and Mrs Beeton''s Book of Household Management.Trade ReviewHer textbook is therefore a welcome introduction to the language of the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods. Each chapter concludes with helpful suggestions for further reading as well as a set of research questions, which will steer students of lModE in the direction of interesting research topics and will guide them through the increasing number of tools and resources for this period of English. -- Marion Elenbaas Yearbook of English Studies Her textbook is therefore a welcome introduction to the language of the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Language Ecology and Society A Dialectical
Book SynopsisTrade Review...the book covers a wide scope of issues from economics to politics, from sociology to linguistics, from environmentalism to biology and so forth... It also goes without saying that nature and culture and, generally speaking, all forms of life are inseparably interwoven and that language, on the one hand, also manipulates and even controls it to a certain extent. It is a merit of the book that it makes the readership aware not only of that interdependence but also of the global threat, of the most urgent tasks resulting from it as well as of the role of language therein... This book is a valuable contribution to the discussion of ecology. -- Paul Danler * Moderne Sprachen, 53/1 2009 *Table of ContentsSection I. Introducing Dialectical Linguistics 1.
