Book SynopsisA fascinating comparative account of sacred languages and their role in and beyond religion written for a broad, interdisciplinary audience Sacred languages have been used for foundational texts, liturgy, and ritual for millennia, and many have remained virtually unchanged through the centuries. While the vital relationship between language and religion has been long acknowledged, new research and thinking across an array of disciplines including religious studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, linguistics, and even neurolinguistics has resulted in a renewed interest in the area. This fascinating and informative book draws on Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions to provide a concise and accessible introduction to the phenomenon of sacred languages. The book takes a strongly comparative, wide-ranging approach to exploring ways in which ancient religious languages, such as Latin, Pali, Church Slavonic, and Hebrew continue to shape the beliefs Trade Review“Bennett has done scholars of religion and of their various scriptures a great service by focusing our attention on the contemporary phenomenon of sacred languages, their variety, and their continuing power in the lives of millions of people worldwide.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC CorpusAssisted Ecolinguistics
Book SynopsisCorpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics introduces and integrates key research concepts, principles and techniques in ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted discourse study, answering foundational questions for researchers new to the discipline and asserting the urgent need to expand its scope. Breaking new ground, the book analyzes under-explored environmental discourses that have a tangible impact on ecological wellbeing and sustainability by perpetuating harmful attitudes, practices and ideologies. Chapters present in-depth case studies, including an analysis of the evolving representations of wilderness, an eco-stylistic analysis of a popular novel, and an investigation of the use of humor in reports on animal escapes from slaughterhouses. The studies employ a range of corpus analysis techniques to show how ecological degradation and crisis have become normalized, and even trivialized, in popular discourse but also spaces where positive discourse practices are present. ByTrade ReviewOffers a good introduction to the potential of applying corpus linguistic methods when pursuing ecolinguistic research ... As the book continually gives overviews and explanations of key concepts from both corpus linguistics and ecolinguistics, it is suitable for readers from both linguistic fields – or any other area of linguistics. * LINGUIST List *This text aims to expand the scope of ecolinguistic scholarship. At its heart are several valuable case studies. The case studies apply a variety of corpus-assisted methods and tools to the analysis of text types which are often overlooked as sources of ecolinguistic insight. Yet, Dr Poole demonstrates that such analyses can be extremely productive. Readers with interests in environmental studies, ecolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and/or discourse studies can find inspiration in this book. -- Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan, Associate Professor, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, USAThis wide ranging book includes copious examples of both existing research and original investigations. With careful attention to theory and method throughout, Poole presents an impressive overview of different areas of study, clearly illustrating the potential for a complementary relationship between ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted discourse analysis. -- Alison Sealey, Professor Emerita of Applied Linguistics, Lancaster University, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables Preface Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations 1.

Book SynopsisWritten by the world-renowned pioneer in the field of modern sociolinguistics, this volume examines the cognitive and cultural factors responsible for linguistic change, tracing the life history of these developments, from triggering events to driving forces and endpoints.Trade Review"The culminating volume in Labov's magnum opus on language variation and change will assure forever his indelible imprint on the field of linguistics. Thanks to Labov, the field should never be the same." — Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University "William Labov completes his monumental study of sound change by examining the forces that drive divergence and convergence in neighboring communities. His impeccable attention to detail is illuminated, as always, by his sensitivity to the social, communal and personal motives that lie behind the ways in which we talk to one another." — J.K. Chambers, University of Toronto "Labov's inexhaustible creative wellspring produces a fountain of insight and essential reading for all scholars concerned with language as a dynamic social organism.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Gendered Talk at Work
Book SynopsisGendered Talk at Work examines how women and men negotiate their gender identities as well as their professional roles in everyday workplace communication. written accessibly by one of the field's foremost researchers explores the ways in which gender contributes to the interpretation of meaning in workplace interaction uses original and insightfully analyzed data to focus on the ways in which both women and men draw on gendered discourse resources to enact a range of workplace roles illustrates how a qualitative analysis of workplace discourse can throw light on the many ways in which workplace discourse provides a resource for constructing gender identity as one component of our complex socio-cultural identity Trade Review"Gendered Talk at Work offers rich empirical texture to support subtle and careful analysis of gender in workplace talk. Janet Holmes’s highly readable yet theoretically sophisticated book will be required reading not just for sociolinguists but for everyone interested in promoting gender equity in employment." Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University "A particular strength of this book is its accessibility to non-linguists: it will assist women and men in the workplace to gain a more sophisticated understanding of how gender interacts with power in producing different ways of speaking." Anne Pauwels, The University of Western Australia "Janet Holmes’s account of gender and workplace discourse represents sociolinguistic scholarship at its best. Her detailed and wide-ranging analysis of language in interaction provides unique insights into the linguistic culture of the workplace and challenges stereotypical conceptions of gendered speaking styles – an invaluable resource." Joan Swann, The Open University "Holmes's text is a well-written accessible book that not only gives the reader an understanding of much of the work on gendered workplace talk but advances with equal clarity into Holmes's own subtle and nuanced additions to the field."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Linguistic Anthropology
Book SynopsisLinguistic Anthropology: A Reader is a comprehensive collection of the best work that has been published in this exciting and growing area of anthropology, and is organized to provide a guide to key issues in the study of language as a cultural resource and speaking as a cultural practice. Revised and updated, this second edition contains eight new articles on key subjects, including speech communities, the power and performance of language, and narratives Selections are both historically oriented and thematically coherent, and are accessibly grouped according to four major themes: speech community and communicative competence; the performance of language; language socialization and literacy practices; and the power of language An extensive introduction provides an original perspective on the development of the field and highlights its most compelling issues Each section includes a brief introductory statement, sets of guiding questions, and Trade Review"Alessandro Duranti has succeeded in compiling an excellent reader that many instructors and students will find useful as an introduction to key works in linguistic anthropology. Leaders in the theory and practice of contemporary linguistic anthropology are well represented, and all of the articles are excellent; indeed, most are recognized as contemporary "classics" in the field. This reader is an excellent addition to the growing library of readers in linguistic anthropology and a valuable new resource for both students and teachers." (Current Anthropology [from 1st edition]) "Many of the articles included...are examples of highly innovative scholarly work on issues of language related to culture. It provides an excellent (and long overdue) discussion of terminology, American lingustic anthropology's development within Cultural Anthropology, its subsequent drift away from anthropology towards an independent discipline increasingly focused on theoretical anthropologists in the late 1960s, and its reestablishment as a subfield of anthropology in the 1980s-90s. As a textbook this reader makes a very useful teaching aid, as a source book it provides valuable insights into the discipline of linguistic anthropology."

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc An Introduction to Interaction
Book SynopsisTrade Review[A]n important textbook that engages closely with theoretical and practical aspects of CA. The book is very 'user-friendly' and approaches its subject matter from a straightforward and common sense point of view. No doubt, this book will be of interest to students of sociology, linguistics and communication studies. * Discourse Studies *[A] comprehensive guide for (mainly, but not only) linguistics, sociology, communication and even business students ... [The book] could be used autonomously by students ... [as well as] in class ... Each of the chapters is written in an understandable way using a clear and simple style. * Language Value *This comprehensive yet-easy-to-read guide will be a boon to any student struggling with the concepts and methods of Conversation Analysis. The coverage is admirably wide without sacrificing depth - a must-have for the student and teacher of language in interaction. -- Charles Antaki, Professor of Language and Social Psychology, Loughborough University, UKI am very favorably impressed with this volume. The book is organized well. It addresses a wide variety of contexts, and the writing is clear and cogent. Prof. Garcia has a masterful command of the conversation analysis (CA) literature, and it shows in the writing. I would definitely use this in my classes on ethnomethodology, language and social interaction, and organizational discourse analysis. Without question, I believe that this volume will enable beginning students and scholars to learn how to do CA and develop an initial understanding of the theoretical commitments associated with ethnomethodology. I predict that this volume will be widely embraced by the CA community, if not the discourse community more generally. It is absolutely first rate. -- Gail T. Fairhurst, Professor of Communication, University of Cincinnati, USAAngela Cora Garcia has succeeded in producing an absorbing, comprehensive and accessible introduction to conversation analysis.This lively textbook presents the principles and techniques of studying real spoken interaction using an array of examples from casual conversation to business meetings and covering a range of languages including Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and French.Key issues and theories are clearly presented and there are questions and tasks which encourage readers to collect and analyze spoken data for themselves. The book will be extremely useful to students in a range of undergraduate courses dealing with spoken discourse. -- Ken Hyland, Chair of Applied Linguistics and Director of the Centre for Applied English Studies, University of Hong Kong, Hong KongA fine introduction to Conversation Analysis, its theoretical underpinnings and its methodology with particular value for those studying various work settings, communication, and everyday interaction. -- George Psathas, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Boston University, USAThis is the best possible introduction to conversation analysis. With its elaborate terminology, CA can be intimidating to the uninitiated. However, this Intro to CA – with all of its examples, activities, super clear explanations of major concepts, and its overall organization – is everything a textbook should be. I can’t wait to use it with my students! -- Camilla Vásquez, University of South FloridaTable of ContentsPart 1: Theory, Method and Data for Conversation Analysis Chapter 1: Introduction to the Study of Conversation Analysis Chapter 2: Understanding Ethnomethodology Chapter 3: Understanding and Doing Conversation Analysis: Methodological Approach Chapter 4: Preparing the Data:Transcription Practices Part 2: How Talk Works:The Social Organization of Human Action Chapter 5: The Turn-Taking System Chapter 6: Adjacency Pairs, Preference Organization, and Assessments Chapter 7: Sequential Organization:Interrogative Series, Insertion Sequences, Side Sequences, and Pre-Sequences Chapter 8: Openings Chapter 9: Closings Chapter 10: Error Avoidance and Repair Chapter 11: Creating Topical Coherence Chapter 12: Story Telling and the Embodied Nature of Face to Face Interaction Chapter 13: Referring to Persons Part 3: Technologically Mediated Interaction:Work Done Through and with Technology Chapter 14: Routine Service Calls:Emergency Calls to the Police Chapter 15: Problematic Emergency Service Calls Chapter 16: Technological Transformations and Talk on the Telephone Chapter 17: Air Traffic Communication Part 4: Talk in Medical Settings Chapter 18: Doctor Patient Communication and the Delivery of Bad News Chapter 19: The Primary Care Consultation:Diagnostic Interviews and Medical Advice Part 5: Talk in Legal Settings Chapter 20: Trials and Other Public Legal Proceedings Chapter 21: Behind the Scene Interrogations in Institutional Context Chapter 22: Talk in Mediation Sessions Part 6: Talk in Broadcast Media Chapter 23: Television News Interviews Chapter 24: Call-in Talk Shows on Radio and Television Part 7: Talk in Business Settings Chapter 25: Talk in Business Contexts:Doing Customer Service Chapter 26: Talk in Business Contexts:Meetings, Interviews, and Performance Appraisals Chapter 27: Conclusions References Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Political Economy and Sociolinguistics
Book SynopsisDavid Block is ICREA Research Professor in Sociolinguistics at the University of Lleida, Spain. His main interests are the impact of political economic, sociological, anthropological and geographical phenomena on multimodal practices of all kinds, including social movements, multiculturalism, bi/multilingualism and the acquisition and use of languages.Trade ReviewPolitical Economy and Sociolinguistics: Neoliberalism, Inequality and Social Class is written in Block’s readable style and is suitable for graduate student level research and above. Through the initial three theoretical chapters which dissect the principle concepts of the book, Block succeeds in providing a strong foundation for the analyses that follow. The accessible case studies and succinct discussions will be of use to educators wishing to demonstrate to students of all levels the prevalence and depth of the discursive construction of neoliberalism, inequality, and ‘classtalk’ in ‘western’ societies. It will also be of interest to linguists hoping to integrate political economy in their research, particularly those seeking a history and a firm theoretical foundation in the area. This book is particularly necessary at this juncture in time, when market rule appears absolute, and with the rise of far-right parties and groups across Europe and North America ... The book calls for increased collaboration between linguists interested in political economy and economists of language, bridging the ontological and epistemological differences in each field. * LINGUIST List *This represents an important project which could both fill a gap and chime with the growing interest in political economy in language disciplines. Given that the author is a leading writer in the field, the book will undoubtedly sell well and may possibly become something of a landmark piece in the ‘political economy’ turn in sociolinguistics. -- Marnie Holborow, Associate Faculty, School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (SALIS), Dublin City University, IrelandTable of ContentsPreface 1. A short history of political economy in sociolinguistics 2. Political economy: Background and approach 3. Neoliberalism: Historical and conceptual considerations 4. Stratification, inequality and social class 5. The neoliberal citizen: conceptualisations and contexts 6.
