Description
We gravitate toward people like us; it's human nature. Race, class, and gender affect this social identity, but one overlooked factor can be even more powerful: the way we speak. As pioneering psychologist Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It, that's because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children. We can change how we speak to some extent, whether by "code-switching" between dialects or learning a new language. But for...

Chasseur, pêcheur, trappeur et homme politique, Taamusi Qumaq (1914-1993) est considéré comme l'un des grands penseurs des Inuit du Nunavik. Bien qu'unilingue en inuktitut, ce «personnage exceptionnel», comme le présente ici Louis-Jacques Dorais, a consacré sa vie à consigner, à l'écrit, la vie des siens ainsi que leur langue, et il s'est à ce titre mérité la reconnaissance de plusieurs institutions, dont celle de l'Assemblée nationale...

This book examines the ways in which English is conceptualised as a global language in Japan and considers how the resultant language ideologies—drawn in part from universal discourses; in part from context-specific trends in social history—inform the relationships that people in Japan have towards the language. The book analyses the specific nature of the language's symbolic meaning in Japan, and how this meaning is expressed and negotiated in...

We don't think about time much, do we? Time surrounds us. We can't think about it any more than a fish can imagine the water in which he swims. Einstein said time is an illusion. Henri Bergson sees it as "duration, a natural flow. A Buddhist would see it as a circle, a priest as eternity's antechamber, a historian a history of human development and decay. On the other hand, a lawyer might see his hours as billable units, and a psychiatrist might see...

"La antigua avenida poblada de diccionarios somnolientos ha desembocado en un tapiz formidable donde se entrecruzan sombras y colores, donde vibran recuerdos y se arrinconan en gamas grises los olvidos. La ira que se identifica con la pasión y la pasión que se bautiza como sufrimiento, el aullido de la avaricia y la bizquera de la envidia, el estro de la inspiración y el estrógeno del sexo, la leche del amor, los trenos de la tristeza y la velocidad...

"El lenguaje es un amenazante peligro para la civilización mercantilista, por su estructura única e indestructible, que ningún mercado puede poner en jaque. Por eso, para los sectores del poder es perentorio, dada la resistencia del lenguaje, volverlo invisible e inaudible, cortarnos de esa fuente inconsciente y solidaria de placer que brilla en el habla popular."
Ivonne Bordelois explora en este libro la dimensión subversiva del lenguaje desde...

Spanish is a pluricentric language, meaning that it has several centers of prestige (e.g., San Juan, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Lima). Moreover, Spanish, like all languages, evinces sociolinguistic variation, in that levels of formality are expressed through the use of different structures. Given this variety, students of Spanish will inevitably come into contact with variation Spanish. This variation in Spanish adds layers of complexity to the learning...
