Dicker Susan J.: Yiddish in America

Yiddish in America

The Past, Present, and Future of an Immigrant Language

Elements in World Englishes

This Element theorizes multiscriptal English, a trend where English adopts local scripts in multilingual and (post)colonial societies. English blends into local languages through transliteration, gaining new forms and meanings. This shows English's role in our globalized world, necessitating interdisciplinary research to explore this phenomenon.

Now in its second edition, this textbook provides a practical introduction to stylistics, grounded in theories of language. It has been updated to cover every aspect of the discipline, from its origins to state-of-the-art research. It is essential reading for students and researchers interested in this exciting field of study.

Stylistics

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Word Freak, a vibrant, lively, and illuminating journey through the exotic world of Merriam-Webster, dictionaries, and language, at a time of rapid-fire change in the way we create, consume, define, and use wordsWords are the currency of culture—and never more than today. From selfie to doomscrolling to rizz, our hyper-connected digital world coins and spreads new words with lightning speed and locks them into mainstream consciousness with unprecedented influence. Journalist and bestselling author Stefan Fatsis embedded as a lexicographer-in-training at America’s most famous dictionary publisher, Merriam-Webster, to learn how words get into the dictionary, where they come from, who decides what they mean, and how we write and think about them. In so doing, as he recounts in Unabridged, he discovered the history and fascinating subculture of the dictionary and of those who curate and revere “one of the most basic features of our collective humanity.”Fatsis reveals the little-known story of how the brothers George and Charles Merriam acquired Noah Webster’s original American dictionary and reshaped the business of language forever. Merriam-Webster became America’s most successful and enduring compendium of words, withstanding intense competition and cultural controversies—only to be threatened by the power of Google and artificial intelligence today.Delving into Merriam’s legendary archives and parsing its arcane rules, Fatsis learns the painstaking precision required for writing good definitions. He examines how the dictionary has handled the most explosive slurs and the revolutionary change in pronouns. He votes on the annual Word of the Year, travels to the legendary Oxford English Dictionary, and visits the world’s greatest private dictionary collection in a Greenwich Village apartment stuffed with more than 20,000 books. Fatsis demonstrates how words are weaponized in our polarized political culture—from liberal to woke to DEI—and, in a time of insurrections and pandemics, how they can be a literal matter of life and death. Along the way, he manages to write a few definitions that crack the code and are enshrined in the pixelated dictionary.“I fell in love with the dictionary on my eleventh birthday,” Fatsis writes about the full-color college lexicon he received on that day. “The dictionary projects permanence, but the language is Jell-O, slippery and mutable and forever collapsing on itself.” Unabridged takes readers to the heart of an industry in flux, celebrating as it does the sheer thrill and wonder of words.

Andere Ästhetik – Koordinaten

Der Band zielt darauf, vormoderne Phänomene von Norm und Abweichung als dynamische Situationen eines Aushandelns des Ästhetischen und als ein ästhetisches Aushandeln zu betrachten. Zwar zielt jede Formulierung einer Norm auf Allgemeingültigkeit, zugleich existiert aber eine Pluralität von Normen und wird ihr Geltungsanspruch durch eine vielfältige Praxis reflektiert und immer wieder neu zur Diskussion gestellt. Die Beiträge dokumentieren die Diskussionen um den Querschnittsbereich "Norm und Diversität" des Tübinger Sonderforschungsbereichs 1391 "Andere Ästhetik".

An Historical Re-Assessment

Bantoid and Bantu in Cameroon

It's a long journey from a writer's mind to a finished book - and a lot needs to go right along the way. But isn't it more interesting when things go wrong?With an expert Penguin editor as your guide, dive into the dark-side of the book world: a secret history fizzing with scandals, rivalries, cock-ups and con jobs. We'll discover how the tiniest of typos can have oversized consequences, unearth horrifying examples of bad taste and worse style, and peek into tales of forgeries and feuds as dramatic as any thriller. We'll unredact the most egregious cases of censorship, expose hoarders and thieves, and ask: is AI really an existential threat to the literary universe? Or are we our own worst enemies?

The New Cambridge History of the English Language: Volume 5

An accessible introduction that reveals the importance of Greek inscriptions in the understanding of ancient Greek culture. Inscriptions are an important form of evidence for our interpretation of past human societies. They are outstanding sources as they offer direct snapshots into the behaviour of humans and their aspiration to make a permanent and public record of themselves. Greek inscriptions in particular combine word and image in a multitude of ways, meaning they are rich in terms of the insights they offer into the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean and the mindsets of their peoples. They give us views of inter-state relations, historical narratives, the political administration of city-states and honorific culture; and at the same time offer perspectives on the significance of ideas about democracy, citizenship, gender, ethnicity, religion and the supernatural. This book, based on the collection of ancient Greek inscriptions on stone and metal held at the British Museum, constitutes an introduction to the study of ancient Greek inscriptions, their significance for our understanding of ancient Greek culture, their history and their reception in the modern world. It places emphasis on the texts of the inscriptions, their physical form, their importance in understanding the ancient Greek language and the modern history of their collection.

Wiley Brief Histories of the Ancient World

Attested since the fourteenth century BC, and still spoken today by over 10 million people, Greek has been one of the most influential languages in human history. English, Spanish, French, Russian and Arabic are among the many languages to have borrowed key terms and concepts from Greek. A Brief History of Ancient Greek takes the reader through the history of this ancient language from its Indo-European beginnings right up to the present day, and explains key relationships between the language and literature of the Classical period (500 - 300 BC). The development of the language is also related to the social and political context, in line with modern sociolinguistic thought. The book reflects the latest scholarship on subjects such as Koiné Greek, and the relationship between literary and vernacular Greek. All Greek is transliterated and translated where appropriate, so that the text is accessible to readers who know little or no Greek, including scholars and students who require an accessible overview of the history of the language, or linguists and professionals who need a quick source of data and background information.

A Brief History of Ancient Greek

It is generally agreed that, of all the Romance languages, French differs most strongly from its Latin ancestor-but relatively little is known about how exactly this situation came about. The present volume provides fresh leads helping to answer this question, by offering a comprehensive account of the morpho-syntactic changes that took place during the transition from Latin to French,
Empirically based on a corpus of Merovingian Latin and Old French texts from ca. 500 until 1250 AD, the quantitative and qualitative analysis covers topics such as the Tense-Aspect-Mood system, quantification, nominal determination, pronouns, subordination, word order, information structure and discourse organisation, while paying special attention to the sociolinguistic properties of each text, as well as to differences between text types and genres.
The most innovative feature of the book is that all chapters are co-authored by specialists of Late Latin and of Old French, bringing together the expertise of what have traditionally been two separate research communities. The discussion is informed by the theoretical literature, but not biased towards a particular framework. The book should be of great interest to Latinists and Romanists alike, and, more generally, to historical linguists.
