Book Synopsis SMS Communication by : Louise-Amélie Cougnon
Download or read book SMS Communication written by Louise-Amélie Cougnon and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The media often point an accusatory finger at new technologies; they suggest that there is always a loss of information or quality, or even that computer-mediated communication is destroying language. Most linguists, on the contrary, are firmly convinced that it is better to consider language as an evolving and changing entity. From this point of view, language is a social tool that has to be studied in-depth through the prism of objectivity, as a process in motion which is influenced by new social and technological stakes, rather than as a fading organism. In this volume we study and describe the societal phenomenon of SMS writing in its full complexity. The aim of this volume is threefold: to present recent linguistic research in the field of SMS communication; to inform the reader about existing large SMS corpora and processing tools and, finally, to display the many linguistic aspects that can be studied via a corpus of text messages. These articles were previously published in Lingvisticae Investigationes Vol. 35:2 (2012).

The app allows users to send text messages and voice messages, make voice and video calls, share images, documents, user locations, and other media. In addition to personal messaging, WhatsApp also offers a range of features for businesses, including WhatsApp Business, which allows small businesses to communicate with their customers and share updates over the app. WhatsApp has grown to become one of the most widely used messaging apps in the world, with over 2 billion active users across 180 countries. WhatsApp makes use of end-to-end encryption to ensure that only the sender and recipient of a message can access its contents. The company has been praised for its commitment to user privacy, although it has also faced scrutiny over its handling of false information and its role in facilitating political unrest. Nevertheless, the app remains a vital tool for communication and connection, particularly in countries where other messaging apps are restricted or banned. Its continued popularity is a testament to the users' trust in its security and reliability.

Book Synopsis Indonesian English: A Linguistic Indentity in A Global Tongue by : Ignatius Tri Endarto
Download or read book Indonesian English: A Linguistic Indentity in A Global Tongue written by Ignatius Tri Endarto and published by UGM PRESS. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of World Englishes which is now being increasingly recognized by most linguists and scholars has stimulated the search for a new linguistic model that can accommodate and facilitate the use of English as a lingua franca. On the other hand, the paradigm of World Englishes also necessitates recognition of various Englishes from different parts of the world. ln Indonesia, more teachers are starting to understand that todays English language instruction is no longer aimed at merely imitating foreign varieties, such as American English, British English. and Australian English. However, they are faced with a dilemma because it means that they might need to give up the long-established prescription for American, British. or Australian English as the only desired language model. The lack of clarity regarding which variety should be used as a model for English language teaching in Indonesia is what underlies the writing of this book. lt is an attempt to identify and describe the linguistic features of Indonesian English in the hope of foreseeing any functional version of the variety which might become a factor in the plurality of World Englishes. With all its limitations, this book seeks to provide a brief depiction of the linguistics of Indonesian English and discussion about the extent to which this variety may be integrated into the practices of English language teaching in Indonesia. "Unlocking the door to a new era in language instruction, this book is a groundbreaking exploration of the evolving linguistic landscape in Indonesia. As English transforms into a global lingua franca, this book navigates the complexities faced by educators, offering a thoughtful and practical guide to incorporating the distinctive features of Indonesian English. A must-read for anyone shaping the future of English language teaching, this work is a beacon of clarity in a world of linguistic diversity." Assist. Prof. Dr. Kiki Juli Anggoro School of Languages and General Education, Walailak University, Thailand

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLINGUISTICS The new eighth edition of An Introduction to Sociolinguistics brings this valuable, bestselling textbook up to date with the latest in sociolinguistic research and pedagogy, providing a broad overview of the study of language in social context with accessible coverage of major concepts, theories, methods, issues, and debates within the field. This leading text helps students develop a critical perspective on language in society as they explore the complex connections between societal norms and language use. The eighth edition contains new and updated coverage of such topics as the societal aspects of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), multilingual societies and discourse, gender and sexuality, ideologies and language attitudes, and the social meanings of linguistic forms. Organized in four sections, this text first covers traditional language issues such as the distinction between languages and dialects, identification of regional and social variation within languages, and the role of context in language use and interpretation. Subsequent chapters cover approaches to research in sociolinguistics—variationist sociolinguistics, ethnography, and discourse analytic research—and address both macro– and micro-sociolinguistic aspects of multilingualism in national, transnational, global, and digital contexts. The concluding section of the text looks at language in relation to gender and sexuality, education, and language planning and policy issues. Featuring examples from a variety of languages and cultures that illustrate topics such as social and regional dialects, multilingualism, and the linguistic construction of identity, this text provides perspectives on both new and foundational research in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, Eighth Edition, remains the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate course in sociolinguistics, language and society, linguistic anthropology, applied and theoretical linguistics, and education.

Book Synopsis Mobile Messaging and Resourcefulness by : Caroline Tagg
Download or read book Mobile Messaging and Resourcefulness written by Caroline Tagg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advocates a new post-digital linguistic ethnography approach to unpacking mobile communication and enabling a more informed understanding of individuals’ communicative practices in cities today. Drawing on data from a group of ordinary working people, multilingual individuals from superdiverse cities across the United Kingdom, the volume brings observations from this data together to form a new concept of ‘resourcefulness’ as a means of explaining the emergent sense of agency individuals develop towards remediating existing forms of technology in their everyday lives. The book in turn establishes the notion of the ‘networked individual’ by way of demonstrating the ways in which communicative practices cross spaces and platforms. Further chapters detail examples to highlight resourcefulness at work in enabling more efficient business communication, routes to self-expression and the creation and development of social support systems, while a concluding chapter looks at both the limitations and possibilities of resourcefulness and directions for future research. This innovative volume will be of particular interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography, and media and communication studies.

This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Media and the Preservation of Indigenous Languages in Africa: Toward a Digitalized and Sustainable Society presents cutting-edge epistemological debates, academic case studies, and empirical research from African scholars on the intersection of digital media technologies, artificial intelligence, and the preservation of Indigenous languages in the continent. This edited collection provides a methodology for African researchers, practitioners, and marginalized communities to integrate digital technologies into their lives to foster innovation, advance the documentation and preservation of underrepresented languages, and promote African-centered epistemologies. Contributors to this edited volume argue that African societies should acknowledge and embrace digital media platforms. Despite these platforms’ potential as sites of epistemic colonialism, they are essential for promoting ways of life that reflect the diversity and importance of Indigenous cultures. For Indigenous languages and local epistemologies to flourish in this rapidly evolving technological era, African communities must employ a variety of contemporary practices and strategies to document, protect, and preserve ways of being that have formerly been relegated to the periphery.
