Book Synopsis Language and Intercultural Communication in the Workplace by : Hans J. Ladegaard
Download or read book Language and Intercultural Communication in the Workplace written by Hans J. Ladegaard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From language classrooms to outdoor markets, the workplace is fundamental to socialisation. It is not only a site of employment where money is made and institutional roles are enacted through various forms of discourse; it is also a location where people engage in social actions and practices. The workplace is an interesting research site because of advances in communication technology, cheaper and greater options for travel, and global migration and immigration. Work now requires people to travel over great geographical distances, communicate with cultural ‘others’ located in different time zones, relocate to different regions or countries, and conduct business in online settings. The workplace is thus changing and evolving, creating new and emerging communicative contexts. This volume provides a greater understanding of workplace cultures, particularly the ways in which working in highly interconnected and multicultural societies shape language and intercultural communication. The chapters focus on critical approaches to theory and practice, in particular how practice is used to shape theory. They also question the validity and universality of existing models. Some of the predominant models in intercultural communication have been criticised for being Eurocentric or Anglocentric, and this volume proposes alternative frameworks for analysing intercultural communication in the workplace. This book was originally published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.

Book Synopsis Global Perspectives on Youth Language Practices by : Cynthia Groff
Download or read book Global Perspectives on Youth Language Practices written by Cynthia Groff and published by De Gruyter Mouton. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most journal articles, edited volumes and monographs on youth language practices deal with one specific variety, one geographical setting, or with one specific continent. This volume bridges these different studies and approaches youth language from a much broader angle: A global framework and a diversity of methodologies enables a wider perspective that gives room to comparisons of youth's manipulative speech and linguistic agency, transnational communicative practices and language contact scenarios. Combining insights into sociolinguistic and structural features of youth registers, sociolects and manipulative speech, the volume includes case studies from Asia (Indonesia), Australia and Oceania (Arnhem Land, New Ireland), South America (the Amazon, Chile, Argentina), Europe (Germany, Spain) and Africa (Uganda, Nigeria, DR Congo, Central African Republic, South Africa). It expands on existing publications and offers a more comparative and global approach, without a division of youth's strategies in terms of geographical space or language family. This collection, including a conceptual introduction, is of interest to scholars from several linguistic subfields, working in different regional contexts and may also interest sociologists and anthropologists working in the field of adolescence and youth studies.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Language in Contact by : James Collins
Download or read book Globalization and Language in Contact written by James Collins and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of globalization on languages in contact, including the study of linkages between the global and local, and transnational and situated communication. It engages with social theory and social processes while grappling with questions of language analysis raised by globalized language contact. Drawing on case studies from North America, Europe and Africa, the volume makes three important contributions to contemporary sociolinguistics by: * arguing that concepts of scale and space are essential for understanding contemporary sociolinguistic phenomena * showing that the transnational flows and movements of peoples highlight the problem and work of identity in relation to both place and time * addressing methodological challenges raised by different approaches to the study of globalization and language contact. This cutting-edge monograph featuring research by renowned international contributors will be of interest to academics researching sociolinguistics, and language and globalization.
Book Synopsis Multilingual Practices in Language History by : Päivi Pahta
Download or read book Multilingual Practices in Language History written by Päivi Pahta and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texts of the past were often not monolingual but were produced by and for people with bi- or multilingual repertoires; the communicative practices witnessed in them therefore reflect ongoing and earlier language contact situations. However, textbooks and earlier research tend to display a monolingual bias. This collected volume on multilingual practices in historical materials, including code-switching, highlights the importance of a multilingual approach. The authors explore multilingualism in hitherto neglected genres, periods and areas, introduce new methods of locating and analysing multiple languages in various sources, and review terminology, theories and tools. The studies also revisit some of the issues already introduced in previous research, such as Latin interacting with European vernaculars and the complex relationship between code-switching and lexical borrowing. Collectively, the contributors show that multilingual practices share many of the same features regardless of time and place, and that one way or the other, all historical texts are multilingual. This book takes the next step in historical multilingualism studies by establishing the relevance of the multilingual approach to understanding language history.
Book Synopsis Communicative Approaches for Ancient Languages by : Mair E. Lloyd
Download or read book Communicative Approaches for Ancient Languages written by Mair E. Lloyd and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in its field. It showcases current and emerging communicative practices in the teaching and learning of ancient languages (Latin and Greek) across contemporary education in the US, the UK, South America and continental Europe. In all these parts of the globe, communicative approaches are increasingly being accepted as showing benefits for learners in school, university and college classrooms, as well as at specialist conferences which allow for total immersion in an ancient language. These approaches are characterised by interaction with others using the ancient language. They may include various means and modalities such as face-to-face conversations and written communication. The ultimate aim is to optimise the facility to read such languages with comprehension and engagement. The examples showcased in this volume provide readers with a vital survey of the most current issues in communicative language teaching, helping them to explore and consider adoption of a wider range of pedagogical practices, and encouraging them to develop tools to promote engagement and retention of a wider variety of students than currently find ancient languages accessible. Both new and experienced teachers and learners can build on the experiences and ideas in this volume to explore the value of these approaches in their own classrooms.

Book Synopsis The Critical Turn in Language and Intercultural Communication Pedagogy by : Maria Dasli
Download or read book The Critical Turn in Language and Intercultural Communication Pedagogy written by Maria Dasli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited research volume explores the development of what can be described as the ‘critical turn’ in intercultural communication pedagogy, with a particular focus on modern/foreign language education. The main aim is to trace the realisations of this critical turn against a background of unequal power relations, and to illuminate the role that radical culture educators can play in the making of a more democratic and egalitarian social order. The volume takes as a starting point the idea that criticality draws on a number of intellectual traditions, which do not always focus on social and political critique, and argues that because ideological hegemony impacts on the meanings that people create and share, intercultural communication pedagogy ought to locate itself within wider socio-political contexts. With reference points drawn from critical and transnational social theory, critical pedagogy and intercultural theory, contributors to this volume provide readers with powerful ways that show how this can be achieved, and together assess the impact that their understanding of criticality can make on modern/foreign language education. The volume is divided into three major parts, namely: ‘theorising critically’, ‘researching critically’ and ‘teaching critically’.
Book Synopsis Communicative Practices at Work by : Jo Anne Kleifgen
Download or read book Communicative Practices at Work written by Jo Anne Kleifgen and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines communicative practices in a circuit-board manufacturing plant in California's Silicon Valley, where the employees come from diverse ethnolinguistic backgrounds, their activities involve the use of high-tech equipment and their practices are shaped by, and sometimes contest, local and global forces. Analyses of the data show that learning occurs optimally when workers make strategic use of both their home languages and English within an ecology of semiotic systems. The book demonstrates the importance of accounting for multilingual practices in studies of multimodality. Through detailed ethnography it brings the reader to a better understanding of learning-in-practice in work environments, where the complexities and accelerated growth of new technologies along with a globalized world produce new forms of multilingual and multimodal communication.

Book Synopsis Communication Strategies by : Gabriele Kasper
Download or read book Communication Strategies written by Gabriele Kasper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the topic of communication strategies, the ways in which people seek to express themselves or understand what someone else is saying or writing. Typically, the term has referred to the strategies that non-native speakers use to address the linguistic and pragmatic problems encountered in interactions with native and non-native speakers of the language in question. Studies adopting a psycholinguistic perspective are well represented and updated in this volume. Other chapters re-examine communication strategies from a sociolinguistic perspective, exploring the strategies non-native speakers and their conversational partners use to create shared meanings in ongoing discourse. These studies reveal how communication strategies can serve to construct participants' identities and social relationships. Finally, the book incorporates a number of chapters which cover strategy-like behaviour in other related areas, such as language pathology, child bilingualism, normal native adult interaction, and mother tongue education. These studies add fresh dimensions to the study of communication strategies, showing how the concept can usefully be extended beyond the realm of second language acquisition and use, and pointing out the commonalities in many domains of language behaviour.
