Cambridge University Press La planificacin lingstica y el cambio social
Book SynopsisEn este libro se describen las formas en que los polÃticos, los dirigentes religiosos, los lÃderes de movimientos nacionalistas y otros agentes tratan de influir sobre nuestro uso de la lengua. El Profesor Cooper sostiene que la planificaciÃn lingÃÃstica nunca es un fin en sà misma, sino que se lleva a cabo para lograr fines no lingÃÃsticos como la integraciÃn nacional, el control polÃtico, el desarrollo econÃmico, la creaciÃn de nuevas Ãlites o el mantenimiento de las existentes, la pacificaciÃn de grupos minoritarios y la movilizaciÃn de masas. Se examinan muchos ejemplos, como las campaÃas feministas encaminadas a erradicar el uso sexista del idioma, las campaÃas de alfabetizaciÃn de adultos, la tendencia hacia la educaciÃn bilingÃe en los Estados Unidos, la creaciÃn de sistemas de escritura para idiomas no escritos y las campaÃas encaminadas a depurar el idioma de tÃrminos extranjeros. El libro es de lectura muy accesible. Interesarà a los estudiosos de la lingÃÃstica aplicada, l

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mobile Messaging and Resourcefulness
Book SynopsisThis book advocates a new post-digital linguistic ethnography approach to unpacking mobile communication and enabling a more informed understanding of individuals' communicative practices in cities today. Drawing on data from a group of ordinary working people, multilingual individuals from superdiverse cities across the United Kingdom, the volume brings observations from this data together to form a new concept of resourcefulness' as a means of explaining the emergent sense of agency individuals develop towards remediating existing forms of technology in their everyday lives. The book in turn establishes the notion of the networked individual' by way of demonstrating the ways in which communicative practices cross spaces and platforms. Further chapters detail examples to highlight resourcefulness at work in enabling more efficient business communication, routes to self-expression and the creation and development of social support systems, while a concluding chapter looks at both thTable of Contents Introduction Post-digital ethnography and the networked individual Mobile resourcefulness Polymedia repertoires Sharing in mobile conversations Conclusion

This volume should incite everyone to fundamental reflection and a ‘no holds barred’ attitude in fresh research." Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, the Netherlands"The key role that language plays in how we are seen by others and how we see ourselves – struggles around identity – has emerged as a major focus of applied linguistics over the last 20 years. This new handbook does a wonderful job of pulling this work together – from its theoretical roots to its contemporary manifestations – into one diverse and readable volume."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Queering Translation Translating the Queer
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking work is the first full book-length publication to critically engage in the emerging field of research on the queer aspects of translation and interpreting studies. The volume presents a variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives through fifteen contributions from both established and up-and-coming scholars in the field to demonstrate the interconnectedness between translation and queer aspects of sex, gender, and identity. The book begins with the editors' introduction to the state of the field, providing an overview of both current and developing lines of research, and builds on this foundation to look at this research more closely, grouped around three different sections: Queer Theorizing of Translation; Case Studies of Queer Translations and Translators; and Queer Activism and Translation. This interdisciplinary approach seeks to not only shed light on this promising field of research but also to promote cross fertilization between these disciplines Trade Review"Queering Translation, Translating the Queer is a compelling and timely project that brings together a diverse array of works by leading scholars from translation studies."- Yahia Zhengtang Ma, BabelTable of ContentsIntroduction: Queer(ing) TranslationBrian James Baer and Klaus Kaindl1.
