Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the Romani language. It does not teach the readers to speak the language.

Book excerpt: "Gypsies are justly famed for their psychic powers and the ability to curse or bring good luck to those that cross their path." A sparkling compilation of secrets passed down from one generation to the next, Gypsy Magic offers readers simple techniques for harnessing "zee energy" to bring about good luck, health, wealth, happiness, and love. Author Patrinella Cooper draws upon her Romany heritage and tells readers "how the Gypsy tradition helped me to develop my own power, which in turn enables me to help other people, through magic and fortune-telling." Perfect for anyone interested in the interplay between nature and divination, this introduction to the gypsy traditions shows how to unlock the power of palmistry, tarot, dreams, tea leaves, and, of course, crystal balls. In addition to sharing time-tested natural remedies and healing herbs, Cooper shares her traveler's insight into reading nature's signs and omens, from stars and seasons to birds and plants. Gypsy Magic also reveals how to attract good luck with charms, protect against curses, harness the power of the planets, and weave simple spells.

Book excerpt: Romani is the first language, and family and community language, of upwards of 3-4 million people and possibly many more in Europe, the Americas, and Australia. Documentation and research on the language draws on a tradition of more than two centuries, yet it remains relatively unknown and often engulfed by myths. In recent decades there has been an upsurge of interest in the language including language maintenance and educational projects, the creation of digital resources, language policy initiatives, and a flourishing community of online users of the language. This Handbook presents state of the art research on Romani language and linguistics. Bringing together key established scholars in the field of linguistics and neighbouring disciplines, it introduces the reader to the structures of Romani and its dialect divisions, and to the history of research on the language. It then goes on to explore major external influences on the language through contact with other key languages, aspects of language acquisition, and interventions in support of the language through public policy provisions, activism, translation, religious and literary initiatives, and social media. This comprehensive and groundbreaking account of Romani will appeal to students and scholars from across language and linguistics.

This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines issues of bilingualism and multilingualism. The research reported addresses second (L2), third (L3) and heritage language acquisition, including multiliteracy and home language development. It also touches on issues relating to language teaching methodology, education, and language policy. Through the lens of critical analysis, the authors seek to investigate new approaches to bi/multilingualism, language learning and teaching, theoretical models, research methodology, and application of language acquisition theories in teaching. The contributions provide frameworks for understanding multilingualism based on diverse topics and analyses. These chapters cover key concepts, discuss previous research, and present studies from different geographical regions and languages. They also provide critical reviews and analyses, report novel projects, and offer personal reflections. This book is ideal for students of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition and education. It will also be of use for practitioners, teachers, parents, and researchers wishing to update their knowledge in multilingualism at large, language learning, and language teaching.
Download or read book Romani Writing written by Paola Toninato and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roma (commonly known as "Gypsies") have largely been depicted in writings and in popular culture as an illiterate group. However, as Romani Writing shows, the Roma have a deep understanding of literacy and its implications, and use writing for a range of different purposes. While some Romani writers adopt an "oral" use of the written medium, which aims at opposing and deconstructing anti-Gypsy stereotypes, other Romani authors use writing for purposes of identity-building. Writing is for Romani activists and intellectuals a key factor in establishing a shared identity and introducing a common language that transcends linguistic and geographical boundaries between different Romani groups. Romani authors, acting in-between different cultures and communication systems, regard writing as an act of cultural mediation through which they are able to rewrite Gypsy images and negotiate their identity while retaining their ethnic specificity. Indeed, Romani Writing demonstrates how Romani authors have started to create self-images in which the Roma are no longer portrayed as "objects", but become "subjects" of written representation.
