Download or read book Morphological Affixations of Eastern and Western Marinduque Tagalog written by Susan B. Pineda and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two variants of Marinduque Tagalog were investigated in terms of their morphological affixations. The main purpose was to determine the language preferences of the native speakers in three domains of conversations in the family, school, and church domains and describe the morphological affixations of the local language. Data for this paper consisted of elicited materials through triangulation method that employs the use of interview and video recordings of conversation and language background questionnaire administered to 208 native speakers in 23 households, 23 schools and six churches selected randomly from the whole province. A total of 104 interviews and 104 videotaped conversations were conducted. The respondents were clustered into four groups of speakers namely: teens (10-19), adults (20-39), middle-aged (40-59), and elderly (60 years old and above). The morphological affixations were analyzed on the basis of form and meaning. Points of convergence and divergence in the affixations of the two variants of the local language are presented. Analyses of the data show 40 items of affixes from verbs, adjectives, and adverbs lexical items. Most of these affixes occurred in Standard Tagalog. Verbal affixes identified in the oral language samples dominate in number compared to adjectival affixes. Adverbial affixes were found to be relatively few. The study also revealed that there is a relationship between language, age, and situational domains and age in the use of Marinduque Tagalog, English, and Standard Tagalog. In terms of age, the middle-aged group uses more verbal and adjective prefixes specifically, verb prefix, verb suffix and adjective prefix. By domain, significant differences were also noted in the use of verb infix in the church domain and in the use of adjective prefixes in the family domain. In the two language areas, the use of verb and adjective prefix was higher in Eastern Marinduque than Western Marinduque, the use of adverb prefix was found to be higher in Eastern Marinduque. Finally, as to gender, there was no significant difference in the affixes used by male and female native speakers.

Book excerpt: This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and orientation. To attain these objectives, the series will aim for a standard comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines, and to this end will strive for comprehensiveness, theoretical explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed to this aim. The languages of publication are English, German, and French. The main aim of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no inflexible pre-set limits will be imposed on the scope of each volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume will be a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editor of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the others, being governed only by general formal principles. The series editor only intervene where questions of delineation between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this (modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered by each volume.

This book was released on 2011-10-03 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetables make up a major portion of the diet of humans and are critical for good health. With the world population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, they will play an increasingly important role in food availability. The purpose of this book is to facilitate accuracy in communication among individuals working in agriculture and a better understand of the extent and diversity of vegetable production and utilization worldwide. Increasing global economic interdependence and trade in agricultural products makes precise communication among individuals utilizing different languages essential. There is currently a wide range of vegetables shipped around the world as seasonal, economic and other forces are shifting markets from exclusively local toward global. The text provides up-to-date scientific names, synonyms, and common names for the commercially cultivated vegetable crops grown worldwide (404 crops), in addition to information on the plant parts utilized and their method of preparation. Common names from 370 languages are presented along with information on each of the languages. The text represents an essential reference source with the information presented in a concise and readily accessible format. It allows indentifying a crop from the common name in a diverse cross-section of languages and is therefore of use to university and government researchers, libraries worldwide, agricultural organizations, agricultural scientists, embassies, international travelers, vegetable growers, shippers, packers, produce buyers, grocery store managers, gourmet restaurants, chefs, and gardeners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the most widely spoken non-English languages in the USA? How did they reach the USA? Who speaks them, to whom, and for what purposes? What changes do these languages undergo as they come into contact with English? This book investigates the linguistic diversity of the USA by profiling the twelve most commonly used languages other than English. Each chapter paints a portrait of the history, current demographics, community characteristics, economic status, and language maintenance of each language group, and looks ahead to the future of each language. The book challenges myths about the 'official' language of the USA, explores the degree to which today's immigrants are learning English and assimilating into the mainstream, and discusses the relationship between linguistic diversity and national unity. Written in a coherent and structured style, Language Diversity in the USA is essential reading for advanced students and researchers in sociolinguistics, bilingualism, and education.
