Scandinavian influence on Southern Lowland Scotch - A contribution to the study of the linguistic relations of English and Scandinavian

George T. Flom

Sinopse

In "Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch," George T. Flom meticulously explores the linguistic and cultural interactions that shaped the Scots language, particularly in the Southern Lowland regions of Scotland. Flom employs a comparative linguistic analysis, integrating historical texts alongside contemporary examples to trace the Norse influences that permeated Scots due to Viking settlement. His scholarly approach delves into phonology, vocabulary, and syntax, contextualizing this linguistic evolution within the broader tapestry of Scottish and Scandinavian histories, thereby illuminating the intricate interplay of language and identity in these culturally rich landscapes. George T. Flom, a well-respected philologist and linguist, has dedicated much of his career to the study of Germanic languages. His keen interest in the intersections between language, history, and culture, paired with his in-depth knowledge of Old Norse and Scots, provides him with a unique lens through which to analyze these influences. Flom's previous works have earned him recognition as a pioneering figure in the field, inspiring him to conduct this comprehensive investigation into the Scandinavian roots of Southern Lowland Scotch. This book is essential for linguists, historians, and anyone intrigued by cultural heritage, offering profound insights into the dynamic relationships between language and society. Flom'Äôs rigorous research and clear prose make it accessible to both scholars and general readers alike, inviting them to appreciate the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped the Scots language.

The Artisan Author - The...

Johnny B. Truant

Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.
If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there’s another way.
Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of “writing for a living” has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun — or creatively fulfilling — at all.
You have to obey genres exactly or your books won’t sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there’s the SPEED of it all: The rules of “Rapid Release” say you have to publish a book every month — at least — or you’ll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you.
In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you’ll lose everything when the winds — or the algorithms — inevitably change.
The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It’s a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly’s idea of “1000 True Fans”: readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They’re people with whom you build genuine human connections … and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.

Lost in Automatic Translation -...

Vered Shwartz

The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the development and adoption of language technologies, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, through automatic translation, to chatbots like ChatGPT. Yet questions remain about what we stand to lose or gain when we rely on them in our everyday lives. As a non-native English speaker living in an English-speaking country, Vered Shwartz has experienced both amusing and frustrating moments using language technologies: from relying on inaccurate automatic translation, to failing to activate personal assistants with her foreign accent. English is the world's foremost go-to language for communication, and mastering it past the point of literal translation requires acquiring not only vocabulary and grammar rules, but also figurative language, cultural references, and nonverbal communication. Will language technologies aid us in the quest to master foreign languages and better understand one another, or will they make language learning obsolete?

Dangerous Jokes - How Racism and...

Claire Horisk

People often get away with belittling others if they frame their speech as jokes—speech that would be condemned if stated seriously. "It's just a joke," they say. But what is different or special about joking? And if jokes about lawyers and politicians are morally acceptable, then what is wrong with joking about race or gender? Furthermore, if we may joke about a politician's shirts, may we joke about his weight? People who are targeted by demeaning jokes feel their impact but may not be able to pinpoint where the harm lies. 
 
 
 
Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies. She addresses the morality of telling, being amused by, and laughing at, derogatory jokes, and she gives a new account of listening that addresses the morality of listening to demeaning speech. She leaves us with no illusions about whether "it's just a joke" is an excuse for demeaning humor.
