Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting the agenda for revitalizing social psychology, this volume explores societal psychology, a discipline which puts both the social context and the external environment back into the analysis of social behaviour, and contributes to informed debate on social issues.

Others introduce new areas in which the approach is illuminating - the study of ethics, behavioural economics, the environment and genocide.

Book excerpt: From Los Angeles to Tokyo, Urban Sociolinguistics is a sociolinguistic study of twelve urban settings around the world.

All chapters are written by key figures in sociolinguistics and presents the personal stories of individuals using linguistic means to go about their daily communications, in diverse sociolinguistic systems such as: extremely large urban conurbations like Cairo, Tokyo, and Mexico City smaller settings like Paris and Sydney less urbanised places such as the Western Netherlands Randstad area and Kohima in India. Providing new perspectives on crucial themes such as language choice and language contact, code-switching and mixing, language and identity, language policy and planning and social networks, this is key reading for students and researchers in the areas of multilingualism and super-diversity within sociolinguistics, applied linguistics and urban studies.

Download or read book Divided Languages written by Judit Árokay and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is a collection of papers presented at the international conference “Linguistic Awareness and Dissolution of Diglossia” held in July 2011 at Heidelberg University. The aim is to reevaluate and compare the processes of dissolution of diglossia in East Asian and in European languages, especially in Japanese, Chinese and in Slavic languages in the framework of the asymmetries in the emergence of modern written languages. Specialists from China, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. contributed to the volume by introducing their research focusing on aspects of the dissolution of diglossic situations and the role of translation in the process. The first group of texts focuses on the linguistic concept of diglossia and the different processes of its dissolution, while the second investigates the perception of linguistic varieties in historical and transcultural perspectives. The third and final group analyses the changing cultural role and function of translations and their effect on newly developing literary languages.

Download or read book The Day I Died written by Lawrence Lariar and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man with nothing left to lose makes a bargain with death—only to welsh on the bet. Lawrence Lariar was one the most popular cartoonists of the twentieth century. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, he also crafted a line of lean and mean detective and mystery novels under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France. Lariar now gets his due as a leading artist in hardboiled crime fiction. Tom Coyne’s hardscrabble childhood and criminal career have left him with no friends, no family, and no prospects for the future. All he has now is a death wish. A criminal acquaintance from his past offers to make it come true—with a perk Tom can’t refuse. He’ll give Coyne ten thousand bucks to go out with a bang on booze and pricey dolls on the beaches of Miami. Just one small trade off: an unexpected “accident” when Coyne’s time is up, and his benefactor will collect on his life insurance. What could go wrong? For starters, her name is Sue. The sweetest, most openhearted girl Coyne has ever met. Dammit if she hasn’t given him a reason to live. And with the hot breath of a hired killer on his neck, a reason to run.
