Download or read book Investigations in Sociohistorical Linguistics written by Peter Trudgill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last five hundred years or so, the English language has undergone remarkable geographical expansion, bringing it into contact with other languages in new locations. It also caused different regional dialects of the language to come into contact with each other in colonial situations. This book is made up of a number of fascinating tales of historical-sociolinguistic detection. These are stories of origins - of a particular variety of English or linguistic feature - which together tell a compelling general story. In each case, Trudgill presents an intriguing puzzle, locates and examines the evidence, detects clues that unravel the mystery, and finally proposes a solution. The solutions are all original, often surprising, sometimes highly controversial. Providing a unique insight into how language contact shapes varieties of English, this entertaining yet rigorous account will be welcomed by students and researchers in linguistics, sociolinguistics and historical linguistics.
Download or read book Pidgin and Creole Languages written by Glenn Gilbert and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the memory of John E. Reinecke, a man whose humanistic activism and sharp-hewn scholarship helped to shape the scientific study of pidgin and creole languages throughout much of the twentieth century. Reinecke was both a social reformer and a leading sociolinguistic researcher working with creole languages and societies that derive from diverse groups of people thrown into close social contact. Most notably, Reinecke's keen sense of social justice has had a telling effect on the social history of Hawaii. Along with his persistent efforts to obtain a fair and equal share for wage earners in sharply stratified societies, his attention early became focused on their language. By encouraging others to study what he called "marginal languages," he was able to bring to them (and to the extraordinary issues—theoretical and practical—which they raise) a measure of prestige, both in the eyes of their speakers and in the increased attention accorded them by students of language and society. The book presents a description of Reinecke's life and work, the text of his own last paper on creolistics, and seventeen papers which reflect the range and vitality of the field that he did so much to open. Some of the papers reflect the issue which has come to dominate creole studies—the debate over the role of universals and of specific substrata as competing explanations of the amazing similarities that creoles, and perhaps pidgins also, exhibit across the world. Many describe the intense language contact within which language contraction and expansion occur (they do this either directly, or by supplying new data which will eventually feed such descriptions), and and some are our belated response to calls which Reinecke made in the 1930s. Fifty years ago, he saw the need for the kind of comparative studies which are only now under way—in, for example, Hazel Carter's paper, which represents a pioneering attempt to compare the suprasegmentals of English-based Creoles on both sides of the Atlantic. In his last years, Reinecke strongly supported research on contact languages with non-European lexical bases. He thought this was the area from which future creole studies would derive the greatest theoretical and practical gain, and in this volume six papers answer his call by analyzing such pidgins and creoles.

Download or read book Til Death Do Us Part written by Sonya L. Williams and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weddings are often the happiest day of a couple's life. At least for the bride it is. It's all about her. The bride has the chance to get all dolled up, be waited on hand and foot, then walk down the aisle looking like the beautiful princess that her daddy always told her she was. Now the bride being the main focus of attention is no problem to me at all. It's when we leave the wedding and go into marriage still thinking "It's still all about me." In wedding vows we promise to stay together "Til death do us part" but as for a relationship with God, until death, we are apart. Sin separates us from God. I've finally learned that to live in Christ we must die to ourselves. In marriage, we must die to many of our own desires and live for our spouses. When we live for God, He will show us how to live for our spouses. When we live selfishly we will always be craving for more but when we live selflessly, God will see to it that our needs are always supplied and our desires are satisfied. God will always see to it that you reap what you sow. In sharing some of my own experiences and what I've learned, I pray that I can sow seeds of hope into the lives of others. This book is to show my journey towards building a relationship with God. As you will see, I too have lived in sin. We were all born into sin. Fortunately, God gives us free will to choose to continue living in sin or die to sin and receive new life in Him.
