I really loved reading this. Firstly, it was very well written. It also is a good example of the political applications of linguistic analysis, like preferred and dispreferred responses in the issue of consent and rape, or perfomatives, gender and the idea of the authentic self. In addition to the high brow intellectual stuff, to make their points they also brings in some juicy fun things like phone sex, sadomasochism, polari and even the movie "When Harry Met Sally."

Language and Ethnicity download book

Book: Language and Ethnicity

Author: Carmen Fought

Pages: 264

Format: pdf

Language: English

ISBN10: 0521612918

What is ethnicity? Is there a 'white' way of speaking? Why do people sometimes borrow features of another ethnic group's language? Why do we sometimes hear an accent that isn't there? This lively overview reveals the fascinating relationship between language ethnic identity, exploring the crucial role it plays in both revealing a speaker's ethnicity and helping to construct it. Drawing on research from a range of ethnic groups around the world, it shows how language contributes to the social and psychological processes involved in the formation of ethnic identity, exploring both the linguistic features of ethnic language varieties and also the ways in which language is used by different ethnic groups. Complete with discussion questions and a glossary, Language and Ethnicity will be welcomed by students and researchers in sociolinguistics, as well as anybody interested in ethnic issues, language and education, inter-ethnic communication, and the relationship between language and identity.

Focus Structure in Generative Grammar: An Integrated Syntactic, Semantic and Intonational Approach download book

Book: Focus Structure in Generative Grammar: An Integrated Syntactic, Semantic and Intonational Approach

Author: Carsten Breul

Pages: 415

Format: pdf

Language: English

ISBN10: 1588115038

The notion of focus structure in this work refers to the distinction between categorical, thetic and identificational sentences. The central claim is that the syntactic representation of every sentence has to encode which of these types of focus structure is realized. This claim is discussed in great detail with respect to syntax, intonation and semantics within the framework of the Minimalist Program. It is shown that the incorporation of focus structure into syntax offers new perspectives for a solution of vexing problems in syntax and semantics. For example, fronting (preposing, 'topicalisation') is treated as a syntactic operation which clearly belongs to core grammar, i.e. is not optional or 'stylistic'; the semantic notion of quantifier raising is dispensed with in favour of a focus structural treatment of phenomena which gave rise to it. The book appeals to generative linguists and to functional linguists who do not believe in an unbridgeable gap between the formal and functional analysis of language.

The Syntax of Adjuncts download book

Book: The Syntax of Adjuncts

Author: Thomas Ernst

Pages: 568

Format: pdf

Language: English

ISBN10: 0521028183

This book proposes a theory of the distribution of adverbial adjuncts in a Principles and Parameters framework, claiming that there are few syntactic principles specific to adverbials; rather, for the most part, adverbials adjoin freely to any projection. A wide range of adverbial types is analyzed; predicational adverbs (such as manner, and modal adverbs), domain expressions such as financially, temporal, frequency, duration, and focusing adverbials; participant PP's (e.g. locatives and benefactives); resultative and conditional clauses, and others, taken primarily from English, Chinese, French, and Italian, with occasional reference to others (such as German and Japanese).

Book: The Linguistics of British Sign Language: An Introduction

Pages: 322

Format: pdf

Language: English

ISBN10: 052163718X

This book formed the basis of one of my Linguistics modules at University, the structure of BSL. It was easy to read and informative; it has pictures of sign in-use and explains linguistic concepts in basic terms so that people without linguistics degrees would be able understand it and get a lot out of it.
When I started the course I had hardly any knowledge of BSL, I am now studying my level 2. This book gave me a very good idea of the grammatical scaffolding of BSL, onto which, I now just need to build my vocab.
My only problem with the book is that there isn't a sequel.
