Download or read book Language of the Street and Other Essays written by Nick Joaquin and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joaquin’s book also offers many other startling discoveries of the tongue. The word sipsip, which means sycophant or brown-nosing, could be traced all the way back to the 1930s Commonwealth. It reached Tagalog through the Ilocano words sipsip buto, along with siga-siga, which means tough, a show-off, or even a gangster. I remember that if my father then wore a long-sleeved white shirt and a new pair of shiny pants, he would be called sputing. Joaquin notes: 'The Spanish word for gang is pandilla; but when we preferred to adapt barkada, which means boatload, were we unconsciously moved by the memory of a time when being together in a boat made people not simply co-passengers but near-kinsmen, almost brothers, pledged to fight and die for each other? That was the idea of the barangay; and our young folk have expressed, in a Spanish word, an ancient Malay concept.' This insight is vintage Joaquin, who could yoke together ideas coming from his lucid historical memory, as well as his wide and varied readings. 'Language of the streets'could very well capture what has been happening in recent years, when ordinary language used by Filipinos have entered the mainstream of universal words. This has been noted no less by than the Oxford English Dictionary or the OED, the crème de la crème of dictionaries and language research projects the world over." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays offers another way to look at the encounter between the Western and the indigenous. It suggests that through a dialectical process, this encounter has generated a broader sense of community that has transcended the kin. Local genius transformed Spanish influences, even as it was itself transformed by the latter, resulting in a new culture. Finally, "Southeast Asia" is a recent construct that should be redefined to reflect the diversity of cultures present in it.

Book excerpt: Beautifully illustrated with more than 700 images, The Aloha Shirt: Spirit of the Islands tells the colourful stories behind the marvellous Hawaiian shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the mystery and the allure of the Islands; as collectibles, valued by professional collectors and by the millions of tourists who still cherish the shirts hanging in their wardrobes; and as a lifestyle - casual, relaxed and fun. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, newspaper and magazine archives, and personal memorabilia, the author evokes the world of the designers, seamstresses, manufacturers and retailers of the Golden Age of the Aloha shirt (from the 1930s to the end of the 1950s), who created the industry and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine shop beginnings to an enterprise of international scope and importance. Here are the fun-loving 1960s; interviews with collectors who preserve these shirts as fine works of art; and insights into the roles of coconut buttons, matched pockets, woven labels and exotic fabrics in the evolution of the Aloha shirt.
