Taylor & Francis Ltd Language Labour and Migration Studies in
Book SynopsisLanguage, Labour and Migration explores two fundamental aspects of the migrant experience through a multi-disciplinary lens which combines the research of leading academics at the cutting edge of their fields. This latest volume from the centre for the Study of Migration brings together the work of anthropologists, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists and medical practitioners. Essays explore topics which include the role of mother tongue as a bridge to assimilation, the racialization of immigrants and refugees through language, the patterns of resistance undertaken by lascars, the experience of black British seamen in the eighteenth century, health advocacy in the twentieth century and the way in which cyber-space is being used to rediscover ethnic identity in the twenty-first century. Other essays examine Chinese labour in France during the First world war, employment opportunities for those deficient in the majority language and poverty in old age. All providTrade Review’Can greater toleration and integration of immigrants in Britain arise if we open our society to the voices of others? This seems like a reasonable proposition. However, what if the majority receives these voices as noise, an unintelligible and alien sound? In these pages Anne Kershen allows the previously-muted sounds of Yiddish-speakers, Syletis, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Lascars and Black Jacks (African mariners) to be heard as voices, perhaps for the first time for many readers. This pioneering collection shows how mother tongues can sometimes act as a bridge to acceptance and mobility, but often end as a cul de sac where only the sounds of silence, isolation and reluctant conformity are heard.’ Robin Cohen, University of Warwick, UK ’This wide-ranging collection of essays views the vicissitudes of ethnicity and race in modern Britain through the twin prisms of labour and language. Lively, engaging and richly documented, they move the discussion of how minority groups respond to challenging circumstances to a new level of sophistication and complexity.’ Professor Todd Endelman, University of Michigan, USA 'Perhaps its strongest point is the way it illustrates the breadth of issues surrounding the use of language as a tool for communication. Another strength of the book is its ability to tie together cultural, economic and political themes. Overall it is an important book given today's political, economic and cultural climate. Migration is set to increase and it is vital for us to gain a better understanding of these issues. This book acts as an important first step in doing so. The variety of illustrative examples also make it a fascinating read.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Word from the Mother
Book SynopsisThis classic text by Geneva Smitherman, pioneering scholar of Black Talk, is a definitive statement on African American Language (AAL). Enriched by her inimitable writing style, the book outlines past debates on the speech of African Americans and provides a vision for the future. As global manifestations of AAL increase, she argues that we must broaden our conception of the language and its speakers, and further examine the implications of gender, age and class on AAL. Perhaps most of all we must appreciate the artistic and linguistic genius of AAL, from Hip Hop lyrics to the rhyme and rhetoric of the broader Black speech community. Smitherman explores AAL''s contribution to American English, includes a summary of expressions as a suggested linguistic core of AAL, and features cartoons that educate readers on the broader relationship between language, race, and racism. This classic edition features a new foreword by H. Samy Alim, celebrating Smitherman''s contiTrade Review"Many scholars, students and laypersons across the globe have an informed appreciation for the Language of Black America, because they got the Word from the Mother, Dr. Geneva Smitherman. Like no other, 'Dr. G,' the Signifying mother, captures the wit, humor, joy and critical edge that speaks forth from this language of history, culture and experience of the descendants of enslaved African people in these 'United' States of America. This is a classic text and precious gem from an OLE SKOOL Womanist scholar of the people that should be read by generations to come!"Elaine Richardson, Ohio State University, USA, author of Hiphop Literacies and African American Literacies"As Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, 'Dr. G,' as she’s affectionately known, is the Queen of Black Language. She gave us the name 'African American Language' to express the expansiveness of language use in African American communities. Word from the Mother is a must-read in any course that includes African American Language in conveying our language, linguistics, and cultural journey that honors our ancestors and strengthens us by confirming their worth and ours."

Taylor & Francis The Edwardian Picture Postcard as a
Book SynopsisThis monograph offers a novel investigation of the Edwardian picture postcard as an innovative form of multimodal communication, revealing much about the creativity, concerns and lives of those who used postcards as an almost instantaneous form of communication.In the early twentieth century, the picture postcard was a revolutionary way of combining short messages with an image, making use of technologies in a way impossible in the decades since, until the advent of the digital revolution. This book offers original insights into the historical and social context in which the Edwardian picture postcard emerged and became a craze. It also expands the field of Literacy Studies by illustrating the combined use of posthuman, multimodal, historic and linguistic methodologies to conduct an in-depth analysis of the communicative, sociolinguistic and relational functions of the postcard. Particular attention is paid to how study of the picture postcard can reveal details of the lives and literacy practices of often overlooked sectors of the population, such as working-class women. The Edwardian era in the United Kingdom was one of extreme inequalities and rapid social change, and picture postcards embodied the dynamism of the times. Grounded in an analysis of a unique, open access, digitized collection of 3,000 picture postcards, this monograph will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of Literacy Studies, sociolinguistics, history of communications and UK social history.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Minority Language as a Second Language
Book SynopsisThis innovative collection is the first of its kind to showcase global perspectives on learning minority languages as second languages, offering unique insights into their acquisition and specific characteristics and raising greater awareness around other languages and contexts where SLA occurs.The volume examines how minority languages are acquired as second languages across a range of geographic settings where these languages are unique minorities; that is, they are spoken in one or more states where they have a minority status. International case studies explore particular features of these languages as well as the challenges of teaching and learning them, including standardization, legal recognition at all educational levels, the dissemination of printed and digital materials and more or less limited language use in the local community.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vocabularies of Public Life
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1992, Vocabularies of Public Life explores the revolution that has taken place in our understanding of contemporary culture and decodes a number of the symbols which now dominate public life. Wuthnow divides the essays collected here into three distinct vocabularies.' Part I examines the ways in which religious and scientific languages function as vocabularies of conviction in public life, Part II focuses on music and art as vocabularies of expression, and Part III considers law, ideology, and public policy as vocabularies of persuasion. The contributors discuss such diverse subjects as American spiritualism, the syntax of modern dance and the social contexts of number one songs. What unifies the book is the common concern with the concrete, everyday manifestations of culture and the importance of understanding its basic structure. This book will be of interest to specialists and scholars of various disciplines such as linguistics, literature, media studiesTable of ContentsNotes on contributors Introduction: New directions in the empirical study of cultural codes 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories
Book SynopsisPolitics, Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective shows how language influences mechanisms of cognition, perception, and belief, and by extension its power to manipulate thoughts and beliefs. This exciting and original work is the first to apply cognitive linguistics to the analysis of political lies and conspiracy theories, both of which have flourished in the internet age and which many argue are threatening democracy. It unravels the verbal mechanisms that make these different truths so effective and proliferative, dissecting the verbal structures (metaphor, irony, connotative implications, etc.) of a variety of real-life cases concerning politicians, conspiracy theorists, and influencers. Marcel Danesi goes on to demonstrate how these linguistic structures switch on or switch off alternative mind worlds.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Multimodality across Epistemologies in Second Language Research
This collection highlights diverse epistemological perspectives in original research on the important role of multimodality in second language contexts.The volume explores a wide range of theoretical and methodological traditions toward foregrounding the notion that bodily action is not merely an add-on to the modality of talk but an integral part of second language teaching, learning, and interaction. Following an introductory chapter,18 empirical chapters feature either classroom or non-classroom research, which shed light on different dimensions of multimodality in second language contexts, including learning reflected in gesture, learning gesture across languages, the role of bodily action in language teaching, and the role of movement in configuring space for effective communication. Each empirical chapter follows a consistent structure detailing the research focus, the background to each study, methodology, and findings. A concluding synthesis chapter braids the insight
