Book excerpt: English like any other language is replete with problems not only for foreign learners, but also for native speakers. As a living language that is changing continuously, certain words and phrases are commonly misused even in the hands of experienced users. Consider this deviant expression I will do my possible best to pass the test. It is rather right to say I will do all that I can to pass the test. In Standard English we do not use possible to qualify best. This dictionary sows a seed in your mind an engaging experience of Standard English proficiency as a deposit of gold worth poor mans money. If you've ever struggled with a word on the tip of your tongue, searched for a witty comeback, or lacking the ability to express yourself and consult a good sentence, then you understand just how useful this dictionary can be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "English as she is spoke" is often no worse than "as she is wrote." This being true, even lawyers will welcome this edition of compact book written by Frank H. Vizetelly, under the title, "A Desk-Book of Errors in English." Vizetelly, who was managing editor of the New Standard Dictionary of the English Language, has brought to his task the benefits of an experience which very few men have enjoyed. For this reason his observations and recommendations are quite valuable to the busy worker who wishes competent advice on the proper use of words in doubtful cases. Opening the book at random, we notice the comment on the use of the present or the passive participle of the word "build." Shall we follow the author when he writes, "While the Temple of the Lord was building" instead of being built; or with Dr. Johnson, in writing to Boswell of his "Lives of the Poets," where he says, "My Lives are reprinting'" instead of are being reprinted; or with Macauley when he writes, "Chelsea hospital was building." On this point, after quoting various examples, the author says: "Being has a very special modern use with passive forms of verbs to express progressive action. For example, is, are or was being built expresses what is expressed also by is, are or was building. Both forms are permissible, but "is being built" is more frequently heard and, perhaps, is preferable. The above is an illustration of the concise yet satisfactory explanation given regarding the use of doubtful expressions. Since also these observations are arranged alphabetically under the expression, the meaning of which is in doubt, the work is quite accessible to the busy writer and is, In fact, what its name implies-a desk-book.

Download or read book Code switching in Bilingual Children written by Katja F. Cantone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-03-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume demonstrates that mixed utterances in young bilinguals can be analyzed in the same way as adult code-switching.

Download or read book Code mixing and Code Choice written by John Gibbons and published by Multilingual Matters Limited. This book was released on 1987 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Code-mixing is a fast developing area of interest for those concerned with bilingualism, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. Just as the language phenomena produced initially by contact between groups who did not share a language - pidginization and creolization - have proved to be revealing in the study of second language development and language universals, so also the examination of the mixing of two or more languages within bilingual communities is beginning to throw light on several important issues. In this book John Gibbons uses a range of different approaches to code-mixing and code choice, evaluates them and attempts to integrate them in a composite mode of code choice. The study is located in the fascinating bilingual community of Hong Kong.

Download or read book Introducing Sociolinguistics written by Rajend Mesthrie and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-29 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociolinguistics is one of the central branches of modern linguistics and deals with the place of language in human societies. This second edition of Introducing Sociolinguistics expertly synthesises the main approaches to the subject. The book covers areas such as multilingualism, code-choice, language variation, dialectology, interactional studies, gender, language contact, language and inequality, and language and power. At the same time it provides an integrated perspective on these themes by examining sociological theories of human interaction. In this regard power and inequality are particularly significant. The book also contains two chapters on the applications of sociolinguistics (in education and in language policy and planning) and a concluding chapter on the sociolinguistics of sign language. New topics covered include speaking style and stylisation, while current debates in areas like creolisation, globalisation and language death, language planning, and gender are reflected.Written collaboratively by teachers and scholars with first hand experience of sociolinguistic developments on four continents, this book provides the broadest introduction currently available to the central topics in sociolinguistics.Features:* Provides a solid foundation in all aspects of sociolinguistics and explores important themes such as power and inequality, sign language, gender and the internet* Well illustrated with maps, diagrams, inset boxes, drawings and cartoons* Accessibly written with the beginner in mind* Uses numerous examples from multilingual settings* Explains basic concepts, supported by a glossary* Further Reading lists, a full bibliography, and a section on 'next steps' provide valuable guidance.
