An introduction to sociolinguistics / Janet Holmes

Public ISBD Titre : An introduction to sociolinguistics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Janet Holmes Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : Longman Année de publication : 2001 Collection : Learning about language Importance : xvi, 406 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-582-32861-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : linguistics  speech  language  regional  social  communication  politeness  attitudes  applications Index. décimale : 421 Résumé : What is sociolinguistics? This introductory textbook provides a penetrating answer to this question, explaining basic sociolinguistic concepts through a wide range of examples, and by drawing on 'classic' approaches to the subject as well as from the most recent research. The book is conveniently divided into three sections: * Section one shows how language is used in multilingual speech communities and explains the varying patterns of language use. Janet Holmes examines how and why languages change within society and highlights the factors that lead to the displacement of one language by another and sometimes the death of a language. * Section two explores social reasons for language change, looking at language change in monolingual communities and the features of a variety of dialects. The author shows how and why differing racial and social groups develop and maintain speech variations. * The final section assesses how attitudes to language affect speech and shows that linguistic responses depend on a variety of contextual factors - for example, the status of the person being addressed and our reasons for speaking. This new edition has been updated thoroughly throughout, and adds new sections on social constructionist approaches to language and gender, and the concept of community of practice. There is also a completely new chapter on language, cognition and culture, which introduces students to the ideas of Benjamin Lee Whorf, as well as to the wider implications of the important concept of linguistic relativity. Containing a series of student exercises and suggestions for further reading, An Introduction to Sociolinguistics is an essential introductory text for students of sociolinguistics and anyone interested in the study of language.

The sounds of language / Henry Rogers

Public ISBD Titre : The sounds of language : an introduction to phonetics / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Henry Rogers Editeur : Longman Année de publication : 2000 Collection : Learning about language Importance : xiii, 350 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-582-38182-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language  sounds  vowels  phonetics Index. décimale : 421 Résumé : Phonetics is the scientific study of sounds used in language- how the sounds are produced, how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived. The Sounds of Language provides an accessible, general introduction to phonetics with a special emphasis on English. Focusing on the phonetics of English, the first section allows students to get an overall view of the subject. Two standard accents of English are presented- RP (Received Pronunciation), the standard accent of England, and GA (General American), the standard accent throughout much of North America. The discussion is arranged so that students can read only the RP or GA portions, if desired. Sixteen additional accents of English spoken around the world are also covered to provide students with wider international coverage.The author then moves on to introduce acoustics phonetics in an accessible manner for those without a science background. The last section of the book provides a detailed discussion of all aspects of speech with extensive examples from languages around the world.Containing student-friendly features such as extensive exercises for practising the sounds covered in each chapter; a glossary of technical terms; instructions on how to write phonetic symbols; the latest International Phonetic Alphabet chart and a detailed list of English consonantal variants, The Sounds of Language provides an excellent introduction to phonetics to students of linguistics and speech pathology and students of English as a second language.
