Summary

Language Change Acceleration explores the unprecedented speed at which language is evolving today. The book examines the driving forces behind these shifts, particularly the influence of internet slang, emoji, and digital communication, which are reshaping vocabulary and language learning norms. The rapid adoption of memes and the creation of new words within online communities demonstrate this dynamic linguistic landscape. This acceleration has significant implications for how we communicate and understand one another. The book investigates how technology fundamentally alters language's trajectory.

 
It starts by establishing a historical context for language change, then contrasts traditional mechanisms like borrowing and analogy with today's accelerated pace. The analysis is grounded in empirical evidence, utilizing online data and surveys to understand the social contexts driving these changes. The central sections delve into the impact of internet slang on vocabulary, the role of emoji in expressing complex ideas, and the transformation of language learning in a globally connected world.

 
The book is structured to guide readers through the core concepts of language change and acceleration. It offers a balanced perspective on the debates surrounding technology's impact on language, providing insights applicable to communication, education, and cultural preservation. By integrating linguistics, communication studies, and technology, Language Change Acceleration provides a holistic view of how language is evolving in the digital age and its potential future directions.

    Barack Obama - Conservative...

    Following his election, President Obama's supporters and detractors anticipated radical reform. As the first African American to serve as president, he reached the White House on a campaign promise of change. But, as Burton Kaufman explores in this insightful biography, Obama showed clear patterns of classical conservativism of an ideological sort and basic policy-making pragmatism. His commitment to usher in a multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural society was fundamentally connected to opening up, but not radically altering, the existing free enterprise system. 
     
      
      
    The Affordable Care Act was a distillation of President Obama's complex motivations for policy. More conservative than radical, the ACA fitted the expansion of health insurance into the existing system. Similarly, in foreign policy, Obama eschewed the use of force to affect regime change. Yet he kept boots on the ground in the Middle East and supported ballot-box revolts geared toward achieving in foreign countries the same principles of liberalism, free enterprise, and competition that existed in the United States. 
     
       
     
    In estimating the course and impact of Obama's full political life, Kaufman makes clear that both the desire for and fear of change in the American polity affected the popular perception but not the course of action of the forty-fourth US president.

    An incisive account of the Arctic convoys, and the essential role Bletchley Park and Special Intelligence played in Allied success 
     
     
      
    Between 1941 and 1945, more than eight hundred shiploads of supplies were delivered to the Soviet Union protected by allied naval forces. Each journey was a battle against the elements, with turbulent seas, extreme cold, and the constant dread of torpedoes. These Arctic convoys have been mythologized as defenseless vessels at the mercy of deadly U-boats—but was this really the case? 
     
     
      
    David Kenyon explores the story of the war in the Arctic, revealing that the contest was more evenly balanced that previously thought. Battles included major ship engagements, aircraft carriers, and combat between surface ships. Amid this wide range of forces, Bletchley Park's Naval Section played a decisive role in Arctic operations, with both sides relying heavily on Signals Intelligence to intercept and break each other's codes. Kenyon presents a vivid picture of the Arctic theater of war, unearthing the full-scale campaign for naval supremacy in northern waters.
