Download or read book Reciprocal Constructions written by Vladimir P. Nedjalkov and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-06 with total page 2249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of reciprocal constructions and related phenomena in the world’s languages. Reciprocal constructions (of the type The two boys hit each other, The poets admire each other’s poems) have often been the subject of language-particular studies, but it is only in this work that a truly global comparative picture emerges. Nine stage-setting chapters dealing with general and theoretical matters are followed by 40 chapters containing in-depth descriptions of reciprocals in individual languages by renowned specialists. The introductory papers provide a conceptual and terminological framework that allows the authors of the individual chapters to characterize their languages in comparable terms, making it easy for the reader to see points of commonality between languages and constructions that have never been compared before. This set of volumes is an indispensable starting point and will be a lasting reference work for any future studies of reciprocals.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Endangered Languages written by Peter K. Austin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-24 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally agreed that about 7,000 languages are spoken across the world today and at least half may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This state-of-the-art Handbook examines the reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages. The volume is relevant not only to researchers in language endangerment, language shift and language death, but to anyone interested in the languages and cultures of the world. It is accessible both to specialists and non-specialists: researchers will find cutting-edge contributions from acknowledged experts in their fields, while students, activists and other interested readers will find a wealth of readable yet thorough and up-to-date information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Yellow English is the first edited volume to examine issues of language, identity, and culture among the rapidly growing Asian Pacific American (APA) population. The distinguished contributors-who represent a broad range of perspectives from anthropology, sociolinguistics, English, and education-focus on the analysis of spoken interaction and explore multiple facets of the APA experience. Authors cover topics such as media representations of APAs; codeswitching and language crossing; and narratives of ethnic identity. The collection examines the experiences of Asian Pacific Americans of different ethnicities, generations, ages, and geographic locations across home, school, community, and performance sites.

This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the author started writing this book, it was to be about living amongst the cannibals of the Kukukuku people of Papua New Guinea. Nevertheless, the longer he worked in that country, he began to realize that there were many types of cannibals there. For instance, there were those people who ate other people, then there were people who dug up their dead and ate them, then there were people who only ate the brains of their leaders and so on. Many of these people would be horrified by the practices of other types of cannibals and many of them had different reasons for doing what they did. As the story emerged, the author then realized that other people around the world, practised cannibalism in a symbolic way, or their actions might be described as all consuming or cannibalistic. In all, as a result of his research, he came up with 11 different types of cannibals, and that throughout his life; he had actually encountered and suffered from these types of cannibals. His twelve years of living amongst the people of Papua New Guinea; his university qualifi cations, including a BA Hon., Dip. Ed., MA., and a PhD, plus 20 years in university teaching and research, make him more than adequately qualifi ed to write this book.

Download or read book The Changing South Pacific written by Serge Tcherkézoff and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The texts collected in this volume take an anthropological approach to the variety of contemporary societal problems which confront the peoples of the contemporary South Pacific: religious revival, the sociology of relations between local groups, regions and nation-States, the problem of culture areas, the place of democracy in the transition of States founded on sacred chiefdoms, the role of ceremonial exchanges in a market economy, and so forth. Each chapter presents a society seen from a specific point of view, but always with reference to the issue of collective identity and its confrontation with history and change. The collection thus invites the reader to understand how the inhabitants of these societies seek to affirm both an individual identity and a sense of belonging to the contemporary world. In doing so, it informs the reader about the contemporary realities experienced by the inhabitants of the South Pacific, with a view to contributing to an intercultural dialogue between the reader and these inhabitants.
