Book Synopsis Lexicography in Africa by : R. R. K. Hartmann
Download or read book Lexicography in Africa written by R. R. K. Hartmann and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lexicography in Africa is a new book in the invaluable series Exeter Linguistic Studies and one of three volumes dedicated to lexicography to mark the fifth anniversary of the Dictionary Research Centre in the University of Exeter. It is the first attempt to fill a niche in our knowledge of lexicography on this continent. It does not pretend to be a complete survey of lexicography in Africa but a tentative one which conveys the most important trends in the field and a wealth of exemplary material. It investigates the lexicographic situation in different parts of Africa (Central Africa paper 3; Northern Africa paper 4 and Southern Africa paper 6) and the linguistic and historical background (paper 1 and 2). It also concerns itself with the user of the dictionary and his needs, types of dictionaries available and the hopes pinned on computer technology.

This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this dictionary is twofold. On the one hand, it provides the scholar of African studies with a tool to identify the possible Portuguese origin of terms present in African languages and, on the other, it offers those who are interested in Portuguese culture an overview of the presence of its lexicon in African languages. No doubt the Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the world outside of Europe, and as such they were also the first to introduce that world to European concepts and words.This book is the result of a long and detailed work on texts in African languages, as also shown by the rich bibliography in the dictionary.

Book Synopsis Postcolonial Linguistic Voices by : Eric A. Anchimbe
Download or read book Postcolonial Linguistic Voices written by Eric A. Anchimbe and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates sociolinguistic discourses, identity choices and their representations in postcolonial national and social life, and traces them to the impact of colonial contact. The chapters stitch together current voices and identities emerging within both ex-colonized and ex-colonizer communities as each copes with the social, lingual, cultural, and religious mixes triggered by colonialism. These mixes, reflected in the five thematic parts of the book - 'postcolonial identities', 'nationhood discourses', 'translating the postcolonial', 'living the postcolonial', and 'colonizing the colonizer' - call for deeper investigations of postcolonial communities using emic approaches.
