Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the first day at my new school, my teacher, Miss Soria, gave me a sticker that said Ren? Colato. The sticker was missing my second last name. Maybe Miss Soria's pen ran out of ink. I took my pencil and added it. Now it looked right: Ren? Colato La?nez." Young Ren? is from El Salvador, and he doesn't understand why his name has to be different in the United States. When he writes Colato, he sees his paternal grandparents, Ren? and Amelia. When he writes La?nez, he sees his maternal grandparents, Angela and Julio. Without his second last name, Ren? feels incomplete, "like a hamburger without the meat or a pizza without cheese or a hot dog without a wiener." His new classmates giggle when Ren? tells them his name. "That's a long dinosaur name," one says. "Your name is longer than an anaconda," another laughs. But Ren? doesn't want to lose the part of him that comes from his mother's family. So when the students are given a project to create a family tree, Ren? is determined to explain the importance of using both of his last names. On the day of his presentation, Ren? explains that he is as hard working as Abuelo Ren?, who is a farmer, and as creative as his Abuela Amelia, who is a potter. He can tell stories like his Abuelo Julio and enjoys music like his Abuela Angela. This charming bilingual picture book for children ages 4 - 8 combines the winning team of author Ren? Colato La?nez and illustrator Fabiola Graullera Ram?rez, and follows their award-winning collaboration, I Am Ren?, the Boy / Soy Ren?, el ni?o . With whimsical illustrations and entertaining text, this sequel is sure to please fans and gain many new ones while explaining an important Hispanic cultural tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of studies about forms of address in the world’s languages, with a focus on contrast and difference.

The volume showcases the variety of approaches that exists in current address research, including the breadth of contrastive methodologies harnessing surveys and questionnaires, focus group discussions, corpus linguistics, discourse and conversation analysis to offer complementary perspectives on culture-specific address practice. This volume is for students and researchers of address and social interaction in a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including various sub-disciplines of linguistics (such as contrastive, variational and intercultural pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and morphology) and intercultural communication, as well as experts in individual languages and qualitative sociologists.
Download or read book Who Says written by William DeGenaro and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2007-01-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Who Says?, scholars of rhetoric, composition, and communications seek to revise the elitist "rhetorical tradition" by analyzing diverse topics such as settlement house movements and hip-hop culture to uncover how communities use discourse to construct working-class identity. The contributors examine the language of workers at a concrete pour, depictions of long-haul truckers, a comic book series published by the CIO, the transgressive "fat" bodies of Roseanne and Anna Nicole Smith, and even reality television to provide rich insights into working-class rhetorics. The chapters identify working-class tropes and discursive strategies, and connect working-class identity to issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Using a variety of approaches including ethnography, research in historic archives, and analysis of case studies, Who Says? assembles an original and comprehensive collection that is accessible to both students and scholars of class studies and rhetoric.

Download or read book The Three Inch Golden Lotus written by Feng Jicai and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1994-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beguiling story is woven around the life of Fragrant Lotus, who has her feet bound in the supreme Golden Lotus style when she is six years old. Events in Fragrants Lotus’ life twist and unfold in a series of witty and often wicked ironies, obliterating easy distinctions between kindness and cruelty, history and fable, forgery and authentic work. The novel’s waggish narrator exists in the tension between judgement and description, wryly deflating his reader’s certainties along the way. Written in 1985, The Three-Inch Golden Lotus is a deeply affecting, thoroughly enjoyable literary revelation.
