Download or read book Australian English Reimagined written by Louisa Willoughby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian English is perhaps best known for its colourful slang, but the variety is much richer than slang alone. This collection provides a detailed account of Australian English by bringing together leading scholars of this English variety. These scholars provide a comprehensive overview of Australian English’s distinctive features and outline cutting-edge research into the variation and change of English in Australia. Organised thematically, this volume explores the ways in which Australian English differs from other varieties of English, as well as examining regional, social and stylistic variation within the variety. The volume first explores particular structural features where Australian English differentiates itself from other English varieties. There are chapters on phonetics and phonology, socio-phonetics, lexicon and discourse-pragmatics as these elements are core to understanding any variety of English, especially within the World Englishes paradigm. It then considers what are arguably the most salient aspects of variation within Australian English and finally focuses on historical, attitudinal and planning aspects of Australian English. This volume provides a thorough account of Australian English and its users as complex, diverse and worthy of study. Perhaps more importantly, this volume’s scholars provide a reimagining of Australian English and the paradigm through which future scholars may proceed.

Download or read book Anglo Australian Naval Relations 1945 1975 written by Mark Gjessing and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Anglo-Australian naval relations between 1945-75, a period of great change for both Australia and Great Britain and their respective navies. It explores the cultural and historical ties between the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the efficacy of communications between the services, and the importance of personal relations to the overall inter-service relationship. The author assesses the dilemmas faced by Great Britain associated with that nation’s declining power, and the impact of the retreat from ‘East of Suez’ on the strategic relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia. The book also considers operational co-operation between the Royal Navy and the RAN including conflicts such as the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, and confrontation with Indonesia, as well as peacetime pursuits such as port visits and the testing of atomic weapons in the 1950s. Co-operation in matters of personnel and training are also dealt with in great detail, along with the co-operation between the Royal Navy and the RAN in equipment procurement and design and the increased ability of the RAN to look to non-British sources for equipment procurement. The book considers the impact of stronger Australian-American ties on the RAN and appraises the role it played in the conflict in Vietnam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia and the World celebrates the pioneering role of Neville Meaney in the formation and development of foreign relations history in Australia and his profound influence on its study, teaching and application. The contributors to the volume, historians, practitioners of foreign relations and political commentators, many of whom were taught by Meaney at the University of Sydney over the years, focus especially on the interaction between geopolitics, culture and ideology in shaping Australian and American approaches to the world. Individual chapters examine a number of major themes informing Neville Meaney's work, including the sources and nature of Australia's British identity; the hapless, if dedicated, efforts of Australian politicians, public servants and intellectuals to reconcile this intense cultural identity with Australia's strategic anxieties in the Asia-Pacific region; and the sense of trauma created when the myth of 'Britishness' collapsed under the weight of new historical circumstances in the 1960s. They survey relations between Australia and the United States in the years after World War Two. Finally, they assess the US perceptions of itself as an 'exceptional' nation with a mission to spread democracy and liberty to the wider world and the way in which this self-perception has influenced its behaviour in international affairs.

Download or read book Big Picture Small Picture written by Leonie Hardcastle and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's population, foreign policy, trade patterns and everyday culture have changed noticeably in ways which reflect closer connections with Asia. To what degree does this new orientation towards Asia reflect the perceptions and attitudes of 'ordinary' Australians? There have been claims that Australia's 'Anglo-Celtic working class' has been slow to accept the change or even that it displays active hostility. This is reminiscent of similar claims that the Asia-phobic 'white Australia policy' of the past could be explained by the political and industrial strength of the Anglo-Celtic working class. This book investigates the response of Anglo-Celtic working-class Australians to Asia, fitting the 'small picture' perspective of ordinary people within the 'big picture' of Australia's national engagement with Asia. It finds that the values of Anglo-Celtic working-class Australians form an important basis for a more open and Asia-friendly sense of what it means to be an Australian. The book will interest readers in cultural studies, Asian and Australian studies, social and community studies, and policy studies.
