Download or read book A New Bibliography of Writings on Varieties of English, 19841992/93 written by Beat Glauser and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-12-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuing expansion of research in dialectology, sociolinguistics and English as a world language has made the field increasingly difficult to survey. This bibliography is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant publications of the past few years. Like its predecessor, it will prove an indispensable reference book. The collection is in four parts, dealing respectively with general studies, Britain and Ireland, the United States and Canada, and the rest of the world. There is a joint index in which the 2800 entries are classified according to specific areas, ethnic groups and major linguistic categories, thus making the bibliography easy to use with the greatest profit. The present bibliography complements the one compiled by W. Viereck, E.W. Schneider and M. Görlach, which covered the period from 1965 to 1983 and was published in the same series in 1984.

Download or read book Legacies of Colonial English written by Raymond Hickey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of colonization, many varieties of English now exist around the world. Originally published in 2005, Legacies of Colonial English brings together a team of internationally renowned scholars to discuss the role of British dialects in both the genesis and subsequent history of postcolonial Englishes. Considering the input of Scottish, English and Irish dialects, they closely examine a wide range of Englishes - including those in North and South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand - and explain why many of them still reflect non-standard British usage from the distant past. Complete with a checklist of dialect features, a detailed glossary and set of general references on the topic of postcolonial Englishes, this book will be an invaluable source to scholars and students of English language and linguistics, particularly those interested in sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and dialectology.

Download or read book The Fusslin Thrang written by Alexander Hutchison and published by Blue Diode Press. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fusslin Thrang gathers together Alexander Hutchison’s poems in Scots written between 1973 and 2015, with the majority being previously uncollected or unpublished. Included are a wide range of translations, featuring poets such as Catullus, Pierre de Ronsard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ernesto Cardenal, and Mikhail Lermontov. Of particular note is Hutchison’s Scots version of ‘Medea’, based on the extract in English by Robinson Jeffers, and published here for the first time. Every poem includes a glossary and contextual notes. ‘Hutchison has the ferocity, indignation and bite of the old flytings, even the mad word-hoard of the Admirable Urquhart of Cromarty; a Scots Martial, but with the unabashed tenderness and exactitude of John Clare … A mentor, a bristling master, and a total original.’ – August Kleinzahler ‘Alexander Hutchison’s poetry is elegant, flighty and absurdist by turns. The Fusslin Thrang displays the full scope of his talents: the experimental lyric, satires, ballads, Rabelaisian romps, like a medieval recipe book for everything. One of the most exciting poets of the Scots language of the past century.’ – David Kinloch ‘Sandy Hutchison’s Scots poetry exhibits a gleeful, acquisitive fascination with the language which, in his translations, becomes a means of enlivening how we read world literatures both past and present. These in turn mirror back new readings of Scottish literature itself. Although firmly based in his native Buchan dialect, his work is unconstrained by notions of authenticity, favouring expressionist wit and sheer verbal exuberance.’ – W.N. Herbert

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander and James Campbell, born and raised in Scotland, immigrated to the United States as teenagers in the 1850s and settled in vastly different regions of the country - Alexander in New York City and James in Charleston, South Carolina. When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, Alexander and James opted to fight for their adopted states and causes: Alexander enlisted in the 79th New York "Highlanders" and James in the 1st South Carolina ("Charleston") Battalion. "Him on the One Side and Me on the Other" tells the remarkable story of these two brothers divided by the Civil War. Through their wartime letters to family and to each other, the brothers expose the deep fractures in American society caused by the most destructive war in this country's history. In the most dramatic moment in this story of the brothers' wartime experiences, the letters reveal a near-reunion on the battlefield of Secessionville, South Carolina, on June 16, 1862. There Alexander was part of the Union force that assaulted Tower Battery, a fort inhabited by James and his Confederate comrades.

Download or read book The Lives of the Miller's Tale written by Peter G. Beidler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his Miller's Tale, Chaucer transformed a colorless Middle Dutch account into the lively, dramatic story of raunchy Nicholas, sexy Alison, foolish John and squeamish Absolon. This book focuses on the ways Chaucer made his narrative more effective through dialogue, scene division, music, visual effects and staging. The author pays special attention to the description of John the carpenter's house, the suspension of the three tubs from the beams, and the famous shot-window through which the story's bawdy climax is enacted. The book's second half covers more than 30 of the tale's retellings--translations, adaptations, bowdlerized versions for children, coloring books, novels, musicals, plays and films--and examines the ways the retellers have followed Chaucer in dramatizing the story, giving it new life on stage and screen. The Miller's Tale has had many lives--it promises to have many more.
