Book Intelligibility in World Englishes

Download or read book Intelligibility in World Englishes written by Cecil L. Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligibility is the term most generally used to address the complex of criteria that describe, broadly, how useful someone’s English is when talking or writing to someone else. Set within the paradigm of world Englishes – which posits that the Englishes of the world may be seen as flexibly categorized into three Circles (Inner, Outer, Expanding) in terms of their historical developments – this text provides a comprehensive overview of the definitions and scopes of intelligibility, comprehensibility and interpretability, and addresses key topics within this paradigm: Who – if anyone – provides the models and norms for a given population of English users? Hybridity and creativity in world Englishes Evaluating paradigms: misinformation and disinformation Practicalities of dealing with the widening variety of Englishes Is English "falling apart"? The much-debated issue of intelligibility touches not only sociolinguistic theory but all aspects of English language teaching, second language acquisition, language curriculum planning, and regional or national language planning. Designed for students, teacher educators, and scholars internationally, each chapter includes ‘Topics for Discussion and Assignments’ and ‘Suggestions for Further Reading’.

Book Communication Disorders

Download or read book Communication Disorders written by Ellen Kester and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get exact information on 24 common disorders and how communication can be negatively impacted. Resources abound on the nature of disorders such as Autism and Down Syndrome. However, how do we help these individuals communicate more effectively and where do we find resources to learn more? Within this book, each communication disorder is described by the definition, description, characteristics, causes, implications for treatment, and additional resources, such as support groups, books, websites and additional sources for finding out more to best support individuals who struggle communicating. Supporting individuals with communication disorders and related conditions involves a coordinated team of people that can include family, professionals, educators and other community members. Whether seeking support for adults or children with communication disorders, ensuring everyone involved is as knowledgeable as possible is key to providing support to the individual and their family. This resource serves to be a guide to do just that. Communication disorders are some of the most common disabilities in the United States, affecting both children and adults. This book came together as part of a project to create a resource for graduate students and speech-language pathologists new to the field on the wide range of communication disorders that exist. We have found that it has become a valued resource for many educators and family members of those with communication disorders as well. In this book, we provide a wealth of information about specific disorders in an easily accessible format. The collaborative efforts of our group of speech-language pathologists over the past three years have grown the project's resources into this book including, information on 24 communication disorders and related conditions. Our hope is to inform, educate and aid individuals with communication disorders, their families, and the people who work with them so they may receive impactful support and treatment. Knowledge is power! Who can benefit from using this book? Individuals seeking treatment and support for communication disorders and related conditions can use this book to become more informed about their condition and relevant resources. Parents and families supporting those with communication disorders can learn more about a specific condition and share information with those around them to become advocates for their loved ones. When caregivers have the information and education they need, they can more easily develop a positive outlook and provide better support for their family. Speech-language pathologists, educators, medical professionals, school personnel, social workers, and other professionals providing related support can find this book helpful in gaining additional knowledge, not only regarding the condition, but also the implications that communication deficits will have on the clients they serve.

Book Multimodality in Canadian Black Feminist Writing

Download or read book Multimodality in Canadian Black Feminist Writing written by Maria Caridad Casas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a theory of multimodality – the participation of a text in more than one mode – centred on the poetry/poetics of Lillian Allen, Claire Harris, Dionne Brand, and Marlene Nourbese Philip. How do these poets represent oral Caribbean English Creoles (CECs) in writing and negotiate the relationship between the high literary in Canadian letters and the social and historical meanings of CECs? How do the latter relate to the idea of “female and black”? Through fluid use of code- and mode-switching, the movement of Brand and Philip between creole and standard English, and written orality and standard writing forms part of their meanings. Allen’s eye-spellings precisely indicate stereotypical creole sounds, yet use the phonological system of standard English. On stage, Allen projects a black female body in the world and as a speaking subject. She thereby shows that the implication of the written in the literary excludes her body’s language (as performance); and she embodies her poetry to realize a ‘language’ alternative to the colonizing literary. Harris’s creole writing helps her project a fragmented personality, a range of dialects enabling quite different personae to emerge within one body. Thus Harris, Brand, Philip, and Allen both project the identity “female and black” and explore this social position in relation to others. Considering textual multimodality opens up a wide range of material connections. Although written, this poetry is also oral; if oral, then also embodied; if embodied, then also participating in discourses of race, gender, sexuality, and a host of other systems of social organization and individual identity. Finally, the semiotic body as a mode (i.e. as a resource for making meaning) allows written meanings to be made that cannot otherwise be expressed in writing. In every case, Allen, Philip, Harris, and Brand escape the constraints of dominant media, refiguring language via dialect and mode to represent a black feminist sensibility.
