Language Contacts and Discourses in the Far North

Language Contacts and Discourses in the Far North by Maria Frick, Tiina Räisänen, Jussi Ylikoski
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 370 Pages | ISBN : 3031429788 | 11.5 MB

This book sheds light on 21st-Century multilingualism in the Far North of Europe – Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Estonia – an area with multifaceted contacts between many Uralic and Indo-European languages. These contacts are taking new forms as migration and English as the lingua franca are changing the linguistic situation remarkably. The national languages dominate the life of most inhabitants, while the use of indigenous Saami languages, old minority languages, and the languages of new immigrants is limited to certain areas or domains. This volume takes a close look at multilingual individuals and discusses how their lives are affected by different languages.

The Logic of Language: A Semiotic Study of Speech

The Logic of Language: A Semiotic Study of Speech by Michael Shapiro
English | PDF | 2022 | 347 Pages | ISBN : 3031066111 | 4.7 MB

This book serves as a basis for the exploration of language in a more systematic way. The main impetus for writing this book derives from the fact that linguistics and semiotics are two fields of study that need to be brought together under one compass because language is what is known as the “passkey semiotic,” i.e. the system of signs that underlies all other sign systems owing to its foundational status. Due to the current balkanization of linguistics as an academic discipline, the academic study of language structure rarely if ever incorporates the insights of semiotics and semioticians when presenting its material.

Fostering Linguistic Equality: The SISE Approach to the Introductory Linguistics Course

Fostering Linguistic Equality: The SISE Approach to the Introductory Linguistics Course by Sarah E. Hercula
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 241 Pages | ISBN : 3030416895 | 3 MB

“The author’s call to action- that it is incumbent on linguists to work towards societal change- is one we should heed. Hercula encourages linguists to refocus the introductory linguistics course to not only educate about how language works and how linguists study it, but to work more deeply to change attitudes towards stigmatized language varieties by in-depth investigation of those varieties, ensuring that everyone goes away with enduring understanding and a desire to change the world.” –Kristin Denham, Western Washington University, USA
