Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Pale anpil de kreyòl se youn, devlope materyèl pedagojik ladan se yon lòt. Orèsjozèf, youn nan edikatè konsyan Ayiti fè n kado, travay sou teyori e pratik alafwa pandan anpil ane l ap anseye. Nou kapab temwaye sa depi 1992 lè n kòmanse obsève devouman li, e kontribisyon l nan devlope materyèl pou ede Pwogram Bileng Ayisyen nan Etazini. Byenke premye sib li ta nivo elemantè men li pa rete la sèlman. Li chache konekte l ak maksimòm Ayisyen posib k ap anseye Etazini, kote l prezante e patisipe nan plizyè konferans ki santre sou edikasyon, diaspora, e sou Ayiti... Kòm anseyan lang etranje (anglè, alman, kreyòl, espayòl e fransè), mwen pran plezi li liv sa a li sot pibliye. Mwen ta rekòmande itilizasyon l nan nivo mwayen, segondè, siperyè Ayiti e a tout Ayisyen ki nan Dyaspora pou ede yo metrize anglè trapde.» Emmanuel W. Védrine, anseyan, chèrchè, ekriven www.potomitan.info/vedrine/index.php Speaking a lot about Kreyòl is one, developing pedagogical materials from there is another. Oresjozèf, one of Haiti’s conscious educators, Haiti has given us gifts, works both theory and practice both for many years. We can testify this from 1992 when we began observing his dedication, and his contribution in developing materials to help the Haitian Bilingual Programs in the United States. Though his first target would be elementary level, he does not remain there only. He seeks to connect himself to the maximum possible Haitians teaching the United States by presenting and participating in conferences centered education, the diaspora and Haiti... As a certified Teacher of Foreign Languages (teaching ESOL, German, Haitian Creole, and French), I enjoyed reading his recent publication. I would recommend its use to elementary, middle, high school, and upper level in Haiti and to all Haitians in diaspora to help them master English quickly. Emmanuel W.

Download or read book Lexical Innovation in World Englishes written by Patrizia Anesa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 ESSE Book Award in English Language and Linguistics Lexical Innovation in World Englishes contributes to the investigation of World Englishes by offering insights into the lexical developments of selected English varieties and their cross-fertilization potential. Taking a theoretical and empirical approach and focusing on neological formations, this book: discusses and problematizes different categorizations of English varieties and processes of word formation, considering the expansion of English across the world; draws on authentic examples taken from language corpora to gain a finer understanding of the varieties’ transformations and of their reciprocal influences from a lexical perspective; aims to validate general considerations on the lexical features of these varieties of English and test them using corpora. Including eight empirical case studies, this innovative text shows the importance of investigating lexical developments to observe the evolution of a variety while arguing for the need to go beyond a purely structuralist approach and to include a broader discursive and sociological perspective. Lexical Innovation in World Englishes is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of World Englishes and language varieties.

Book excerpt: In the course of the last 15 years, sociolinguistics (or the sociology of language) has established itself as an academic subject in many countries. The discipline promises to be of benefit in solving practical problems in such areas as language planning and standardization, language teaching and therapy, and language policy. Both research projects and publications and university teaching programmes in sociolinguistics now span such a wide field that it is hardly possible even for the experts to review the whole scope of the subject. A number of specialist periodicals and introductions and sur.

The author examines structural features so far unexplored in the areas of phonology, morphology, syntax, and aspects of sentential semantics.

Researchers interested in formal analyses of Papiamentu, Creole languages, and in language contact will find this book an indispensable tool.

Download or read book World Lexicon of Grammaticalization written by Bernd Heine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the comparative method is concerned with regularities in phonological change, grammaticalization theory deals with regularities of grammatical change. In an A-Z format, this 2002 book summarizes the most salient generalizations that have been made on the unidirectional change of grammatical forms and constructions. The product of ten years of research, World Lexicon of Grammaticalization provides the reader with the tools to show how different grammatical meanings can be related to one another in a principled way, how to deal with issues such as polysemy and heterosemy, or why certain linguistic forms have simultaneous lexical and grammatical functions. It covers several hundred grammaticalization processes, in each case offering definitions of lexical concepts, suitable examples from a variety of languages, and references to the relevant research literature. Indices organized by source and target concepts allow for flexible use, and the findings delineated in the book are relevant to students of language across theoretical boundaries.

Download or read book Morphologie written by G. E. Booij and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2000 with total page 1184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and orientation. To attain these objectives, the series will aim for a standard comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines, and to this end will strive for comprehensiveness, theoretical explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed to this aim. The languages of publication are English, German, and French. The main aim of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no inflexible pre-set limits will be imposed on the scope of each volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume will be a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editor of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the others, being governed only by general formal principles. The series editor only intervene where questions of delineation between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this (modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered by each volume.

Nearly all the material in the 1933 Supplement has been retained here, though in revised form (Preface).
