Download or read book The Dhivehi Language written by Sonja Fritz and published by Ergon Verlag. This book was released on 2002 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das vorliegende Buch besteht aus einer detaillierten deskriptiven und historisch-vergleichen-den Grammatik, die die erste systematische Beschreibung der bislang nur marginal behandelten Schriftsprache und ihrer vollig unbearbeiteten, unverschrifteten Dialekte darstellt. Sie wird erganzt durch einen Materialband (Band II), der das in der Arbeit ausgewertete Textmaterial enthalt (mundlich uberlieferte Folkloretexte; Kurzgeschichten und Marchen; Inschriften und Manuscripte des alteren Dhivehi im Uberblick). Die Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die bedeutendsten Unterschiede zwischen den maledivischen Dialekten die Morphologie betreffen, wobei sich die drei sudlichsten Dialekte als wesentlich archaischer und formenreicher erweisen als die Standardsprache von Male. Der konsequente Vergleich des Dhivehi mit dem Singhalesischen und mittelindischen Idiomen fuhrt zur Erkenntnis, dass die Trennung der Vorfahren der heutigen Malediver und Singhalesen sowie die erste Besiedlung der Malediven durch Indoarier um Jahrhunderte weit fruher stattgefunden haben muss, als dies von Wilhelm Geiger 1902 postuliert wurde.

Download or read book Acquisition and Variation in World Englishes written by Mirjam Schmalz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of its kind to provide an integrative look at World Englishes, (second) language acquisition, and sociolinguistics in a variety of contexts of English around the globe with a focus on the language of children and adolescents. It thus aims to bridge the paradigm gaps that have been identified between these approaches but have rarely been explored in greater detail. The range of topics includes the areas of first and second language acquisition; sociolinguistic variation and awareness; language use and choice; family language policies; language attitudes and perception; modelling children’s and adolescents’ language in World Englishes; the role of child language acquisition in processes of language change; as well as methodologies of eliciting speech and writing from children and adolescents. The book combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and draws on psycholinguistic, corpus-linguistic, and ethnographic methodologies. What unites the contributions to the volume is that they all address the theoretical implications that a joint approach between World Englishes, sociolinguistics, and language acquisition has, i.e. why it is fruitful and how it can contribute to a deeper understanding of the different research paradigms.

Download or read book The Language of Mathematics written by Bill Barton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book emerges from several contemporary concerns in mathematics, language, and mathematics education. However, the book takes a different stance with respect to language by combining discussion of linguistics and mathematics using examples from each to illustrate the other. The picture that emerges is of a subject that is much more contingent, much more relative, much more subject to human experience than is usually accepted. Another way of expressing this, is that the thesis of the book takes the idea of mathematics as a human creation, and, using the evidence from language, comes to more radical conclusions than most writers allow.
