V&R unipress GmbH A Study of Cultural Interaction and Linguistic
Book SynopsisThis study is an attempt to reorient the field of Chinese linguistics from the perspective of the new field of cultural interaction studies. The author, approaching Chinese linguistics from the periphery, examines such topics as the spread of Western learning and linguistic contact and Westerners' study of Chinese: He studies materials produced by Western missionaries and Ryukyuan materials to show the validity and usefulness of Chinese linguistics in the field of cultural interaction studies. In addition, he looks at cultural interaction through illustrations.

V&R unipress GmbH Turkisch-deutscher Kulturkontakt und
Book SynopsisText in German. Much research has been and is being done on Turkish-German relations. However, the individual disciplines rarely meet to discuss their results for intercultural practice in Germany and Turkey. This volume aims to help close this gap: It brings together contributions from the fields of linguistics, literature and media studies, sociology, political science and other Turkish -German contact fields. Scholars from Turkey, Germany and the USA address, for example, the EU accession negotiations, the God Warrior configurations in contemporary German-language literature and the image of Germany in Turkish films, German-Turkish brain drain, intercultural learning and literary didactics, Turkish schools in Germany, as well as multilingualism and literary translation. Controversial aspects in Turkish-German contact also come into focus, because neither an emphasis on supposedly insurmountable contradictions nor a harmonising suppression of conflicts is expedient when it comes to improving Turkish-German relations.

NUS Press Words in Motion: Language and Discourse in Post
Book SynopsisPolitical changes since the fall of the Suharto regime in 1998 have had a significant impact on linguistic and discursive practices in Indonesia. The language policy of the state has become less restrictive than in the past, when Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) was vigourously promoted as one of the symbols of the unity of the country's diverse ethnic groups. Monolingualism in public space has given way to more fluid and pluralistic language use, and regional autonomy legislation enacted in 1999 has encouraged expressions of regional identities and aspirations, opening up a space for the promotion and use of regional languages in the media, education and the bureaucracy. Concurrently, technological development, in particular widespread access to the internet, has exposed Indonesian society much more directly than before to global flows of information, giving rise to changes in stemming in part from sources outside Indonesia, but interpreted and shaped according to local conditions and socio-cultural practices. The meeting of these two vectors, one generated internally and the other coming from exposure to global trends, is producing a situation of diversity, fluidity and change in language use and discursive practice in contemporary Indonesian society. While contributors to this volume discuss Indonesian-language expression at the national level, a particular focus on the collection is on regional, local and minority languages, where problems associated with decentralisation find their counterpart in the role that language plays in the workings of regional and national identity politics.
