Sinopsis

Language Usage Trends explores the profound connection between language and culture, revealing how our words shape our identities and interactions. It delves into how language acts as a vessel for cultural identity, preserving traditions and fostering belonging.

 
Further, the book analyzes how language dictates communication norms, influencing everything from conversational etiquette to nonverbal cues. Did you know that specific linguistic features, such as grammatical structures and vocabulary choices, often reflect and reinforce cultural values? This examination, crucial for navigating intercultural interactions, appreciates the diversity of human expression, and recognizes biases embedded within language.

 
The book progresses from introducing core linguistic concepts to investigating how linguistic features reflect cultural values. It then focuses on the impact of globalization on language and cultural identity, examining language shift and new hybrid languages. Finally, the role of language in shaping communication norms is studied.

 
Using linguistic surveys, ethnographic studies, and corpus analyses, it demonstrates how language constructs and reinforces cultural identities, shaping our perceptions of ourselves and others. This offers valuable insights for students, scholars, and anyone interested in intercultural communication, sociolinguistics, and the social impact of language.

How to Tell a Story - An Ancient...

Aristotle

An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
 
 
 
Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Vietnamese down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Vietnamese.
In Unit 1 you will hear Vietnamese decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Vietnamese speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Vietnamese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Vietnamese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Vietnamese, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
