Palgrave Macmillan Speaking Out
Book SynopsisFocusing on the female voice in public contexts, language and gender specialists consider the barriers and opportunities encountered by women in gaining recognition in politics, law, the church, education, business and the media, where people are increasingly judged by their speech and where male and female speech is often evaluated differently.Trade Review'I appreciate the breadth of contexts studied, from media, politics, work settings, religion courtrooms and classrooms.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Community Translation
Trade ReviewCommunity Translation, a neglected sub-field of translation studies until recently, is timely ... One of the book's strengths is the many examples to illustrate the different issues raised - from Australia (where the authors are based), but also from Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada, US, UK, Spain and Japan. * JoSTrans *Given the increase in migration for economic or political reasons, it is a great idea to provide the basics here and to ensure the appropriate training of community translators. The authors offer information not covered in traditional translator training programs. A few chapters focus on theory, such as cultural changes for people in a minority culture as they are living in a majority culture. However, the authors dedicate most of the book to providing useful tactical information to help with training community translators and provide useful tips for getting started in community translation. This includes supplying information on how to translate official and personal documents and managing quality as well as examples of dealing with translation for temporary communities. Overall, this very informative book provides much useful information to help train community translators. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic levels/libraries. * CHOICE *This book is very engaging and easy to follow, enriched with illustrative examples from different parts of the world. * BAAL Newsletter *With Community Translation, Taibi and Ozolins offer a long-overdue examination of the phenomenon of Community Translation. In their book, they situate community translation in the wider field of Translation Studies and outline the defining features of the activity. I read with real interest the insights that the work offers. I will be placing Community Translation on my students’ reading lists as a core text -- Brooke Townsley, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader in Public Service Interpreting and Translation, Middlesex University, UKThis comprehensive overview of the under researched field of Community Translation is a welcome addition to the discipline. It will be a very valuable and useful resource for educators, researchers and practitioners. -- Sandra Hale, Professor of Interpreting and Translation, University of New South Wales, AustraliaTable of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgements Introduction 1: Community Translation: definitions, characteristics and status quo 2.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Language Smugglers
Book SynopsisTranslation is commonly understood as the rendering of a text from one language to another a border-crossing activity, where the border is a linguistic one. But what if the text one is translating is not written in one language; indeed, what if no text is ever written in a single language? In recent years, many books of fiction and poetry published in so-called Canada, especially by queer, racialized and Indigenous writers, have challenged the structural notions of linguistic autonomy and singularity that underlie not only the formation of the nation-state, but the bulk of Western translation theory and the field of comparative literature. Language Smugglers argues that the postnational cartographies of language found in minoritized Canadian literary works force a radical redefinition of the activity of translation altogether. Canada is revealed as an especially rich site for this study, with its official bilingualism and multiculturalism policies, its robust

De Gruyter Orthography as Social Action: Scripts, Spelling, Identity and Power
Book SynopsisThe chapters in this edited volume explore the sociolinguistic implications of orthographic and scriptural practices in a diverse range of communicative contexts, ranging from schoolrooms to internet discussion boards. The focus is on the way that scriptural practices both index and constitute social hierarchies, identities and relationships and in some cases, become the focus for public language ideological debates. Capitalizing on the now robust body of literature on orthographic choice and debate in sociolinguistics and anthropological linguistics, the volume addresses a number of cross-cutting themes that connect orthographic practices to areas of contemporary interest in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. These themes include: the different social implications of self vs. other representation and the permeability of the personal/social and the public/private; how scriptural practices ("inscription") serve as sites for social discipline; the historical and intertextual frameworks for the meaning potentials of orthographic choice (relating to issues of genre and style); and writing as a broader semiotic field: the visual and esthetic dimensions of texts and metalinguistic "play" in spelling and its ambiguous implications for writer stance.

De Gruyter Origins of a Creole: The History of Papiamentu and Its African Ties
This study embarks on the intriguing quest for the origins of the Caribbean creole language Papiamentu. In the literature on the issue, widely diverging hypotheses have been advanced, but scholars have not come close to a consensus. The present study casts new and long-lasting light on the issue, putting forward compelling interdisciplinary evidence that Papiamentu is genetically related to the Portuguese-based creoles of the Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, and Casamance (Senegal). Following the trans-Atlantic transfer of native speakers to Curaçao in the latter half of the 17th century, the Portuguese-based proto-variety underwent a far-reaching process of relexification towards Spanish, affecting the basic vocabulary while leaving intact the original phonology, morphology, and syntax. Papiamentu is thus shown to constitute a case of 'language contact reduplicated' in that a creole underwent a second significant restructuring process (relexification). These explicit claims and their rigorous underpinning will set standards for both the study of Papiamentu and creole studies at large and will be received with great interest in the wider field of contact linguistics.

Lexington Books The Language of Harassment
Book SynopsisThe Language of Harassment: Pragmatic Perspectives on Language as Evidence addresses harassment head-on by conducting a thorough linguistic analysis of this pervasive social phenomenon. Utilizing a dearth of linguistic research on this topic, this book investigates the strategic language used by harassers to convey their ill intentions and inflict harm upon their victims. The linguistic analysis focuses on how harassment is constructed through verbal and physical interactions between the perpetrator or group of perpetrators and the victim at a discourse level. The author revisits several court cases tried in the US and Europe to show the phenomenal difficulties victims face to support their claims with evidence. This volume applies pragmatic linguistic theories to shed light on the defining elements of harassment, which include repetitive hostile and unethical communication, ill intentions, power imbalances, and harm inflicted upon the victim. In addition, the author illustrates the linguistic analysis through live cases of workplace mobbing, school bullying, sexual harassment, psychological harassment, stalking, and sexting.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Tyranny of Ordinary Meaning: Corbett v
Book SynopsisThis book offers an in-depth analysis of the case of Corbett v Corbett, a landmark in terms of law’s engagement with sexual identity, marriage, and transgender rights. The judgement was handed down in 1970, but the decision has shaped decades of debate about the law’s control and recognition of non-normative gender identities. The decision in this case – that the marriage between the Hon. Arthur Corbett and April Ashley was void on the grounds that April Ashley had been born male – has been profoundly influential across the common law world, and came as a dramatic and intolerant intervention in developing discussions about the relationships between medicine, law, questions of sex versus gender, and personal identity. The case raises fundamental questions concerning law in its historical and intellectual context, in particular relating to the centrality of ordinary language for legal interpretation, and this book will be of interest to students and scholars of language and law, legal history, gender and sexuality.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Invisibilization of Suffering: The Moral Grammar of Disrespect
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive theory of invisibility as a critical sociological concept, addressing the relationship between social suffering and invisibilization. Herzog draws on social theory and a variety of empirical examples to analyze social grammar and unveil various mechanisms of social suffering. Presenting an original theory of silencing and suffering, this book outlines a substantive theory and methodology of invisibilization as an instrument of authority. This systemic analysis of visibility as both a liberating and dominating mechanism will be a major contribution to the field of critical theory, offering an original framework to help improve the situation of excluded groups and individuals.Invisibilization of Suffering will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars across sociology, social philosophy, social work, political sciences, criminology, linguistics and education, with a focus on justice theory, marginalization, discrimination and exclusion.Trade Review“The monograph as a whole makes apparent the difficulties in analyzing social suffering as a conceptual object because there are many intersecting forms of suffering to consider. This text is a useful handbook for understanding these complex linkages in terms of what they are like empirically, rather than of how they should be. In subsequent system analyses that prioritize holism, this work is indispensable. … His blend of interdisciplinary concern and immanent critique is an impressive feat in critical suffering studies.” (Mikaela Brough, Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford Online, Vol. 13 (1), 2021)Table of Contents1.
