The Discourse of Blogs and Wikis

Blogs and Wikis have not been with us for long, but have made a huge impact on society. Wikipedia is the best known exemplar of the wiki, a collaborative site that leads to a single text claimed by no-one; blogs, or web-logs, have exploded into the mainstream through novelisations, film adaptations and have gathered huge followings. Blogs and wikis also serve to provide a coherent basis for a discourse analysis of specific web language. What makes these forms distinctive as genres, and what ramifications does the technology have on the language? Myers looks at how blogs and wikis: *allow for easier than ever publication *can claim to challenge institutional hierarchies *provide alternate perspectives on events *exemplify globalization *challenge demarcations between the personal and the public *construct new communities and more Drawing on a wide range of popular blogs and wikis, the book works alongside an author blog that contains regularly updated links, references and a glossary. An essential textbook for upper level undergraduates on linguistics and language studies courses, it elucidates, informs and offers insights into a major new type of discourse. This coursebook will include a companion website.

The Handbook of World Englishes

The Handbook of World Englishes is a collection of newly commissioned articles focusing on selected critical dimensions and case studies of the theoretical, ideological, applied and pedagogical issues related to English as it is spoken around the world. Represents the cross-cultural and international contextualization of the English language Articulates the visions of scholars from major varieties of world Englishes – African, Asian, European, and North and South American Discusses topics including the sociolinguistic contexts of varieties of English in the inner, outer, and expanding circles of its users; the ranges of functional domains in which these varieties are used; the place of English in language policies and language planning; and debates about English as a cause of language death, murder and suicide.

We can use the term Scottish English (SE) to refer to the distinctive localized
variety of British English native to Scotland. (It should be noted in passing that I
share Hansen's (1997) reservations about the term “British English.” I use “British
English” to refer to the collective entity that is the Englishes of Scotland, England,
Ireland and Wales, and not, as many others (for example, Merriam-Webster, 2005
) have done, as an inaccurate synonym for English-English. 2 Historical

Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World

Pedigree of Nations

Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World is the winner of the BAAL Book Prize 2005. Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World: Pedigree of Nations explores the consequences of English as a global language and multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written accessibly, it explores the extent of diversity in ‘inner circle’ English speaking countries (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) and examines language in the home, school, and the wider community. Considers the perspectives of English as a global language as well as multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written in an accessible style that draws on contemporary real life examples. Examines the everyday realities of people living in 'inner circle' English-speaking countries, such as the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Discusses the theoretical issues that underpin current debates, drawing on research literature on societal multilingualism, language maintenance and shift, language policy, language and power, and language and identity.

Issues in English Education in the Arab World

Though diverse, the Arab world boasts a unique culture and native language, both of which are unlike those found in English-speaking countries. Perhaps due to the nature of these differences, Arab-Western relations have been described as existing on one of the world’s great cultural fault-lines. Debate about the potential effects, both positive and negative, of English-medium education and the learning of English in the region’s schools and universities is one expression of this. Even as debate continues, issues of politics, culture, social mobility, and identity are played out in the English language classrooms of the Arab world on a daily basis. The current volume explores some of the concerns related to the place of English and English-medium education in the Arab world. It examines issues of the relationship between English, Arabic, cultural identity and power in the region within a historical and contemporary framework; the experiences of learners from Arabic-medium secondary schools adjusting to English-medium colleges; and the challenges and potential rewards of promoting student-centered classrooms and technology in traditionally teacher-centered environments. These issues are explored from the perspectives of teachers, students, researchers and other stakeholders in Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Sudan.

COM Abstract This chapter explores the reasons behind the problems learners in
the official school system in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, encounter as they learn
English. I do so by conducting interviews with four English language teachers
and administering a questionnaire to thirty-eight English language learners
between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five who went through the different
phases of the Saudi school system in Jeddah. The questionnaire explores the
problems and ...

English in the World

Global Rules, Global Roles

Examines different conceptions of English as an international language, looking at world Englishes, native-speakers and 'standard' English. This book also covers the pedagogical implications of English as an international language; and addresses key questions with regard to the teaching of English.

It is precisely the observation of the polymorphous nature of the English
language worldwide that prompted the wish to capture this richness and diversity
in the corpus I have been compiling at the University of Vienna, the Vienna—
Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE)? For in order to be able to
acknowledge this polymorphous nature you need to be able to perceive it, and in
order to perceive it, you need to document it. One of the most impressive insights

World English

A Study of Its Development

This text traces the history of English language spread from the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century, combining that with a study of its langauge change. It links linguistic and sociolinguistic variables that have conditioned the evolution and change of English, putting forward a new framework of language spread and change.

World English, however, owes its existence to the fact that some 80% of its
approximately one-and-a-half to two billion users are bilingual (or multilingual) (
Crystal, 1997; World Englishes, 1998: 419). Since the existence of World English
results from the process of language spread as macroacquisition - second
language acquisition (SLA) by speech communities - bilingualism necessarily
occupies a central role in the study of World English. In refocusing its study from
the global, often ...

Western Fiction in the Library of Congress Classification Scheme

Borgo Cataloging Guides are written by catalogers for catalogers. These guides provide surveys of cataloging practice and science in the Library of Congress classification scheme. Each book surveys a specific subject area, with comprehensive coverage of the actual subject headings and classification numbers.

This question was largely settled when the Library of Congress agreed to accept
AACR2 in 1980, since LC generates the cataloging records which most large
American libraries (particularly in academe) follow. It was only later that the
library world discovered, much to its collective dismay, that LC's adoption of
AACR2 was somewhat conditional, in that, under long-established LC policy,
books were not recataloged retroactively, and main entries which should have
been changed ...
