Beschreibung

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.

Disgrace - Global Reflections on...

Joanna Bourke

Looking across time and the globe, a critical history of sexual violence—what causes it and how we overcome it. 
 
 
  
Disgrace is the first truly global history of sexual violence. The book explores how sexual violence varies widely across time and place, from nineteenth-century peasant women in Ireland who were abducted as a way of forcing marriage, to date-raped high-school students in twentieth-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today. It delves into the factors that facilitate violence—including institutions, ideologies, and practices—but also gives voice to survivors and activists, drawing inspiration from their struggles. Ultimately, Joanna Bourke intends to forge a transnational feminism that will promote a more harmonious, equal, and rape—and violence-free world.

Albemarle Street - Portraits...

John Meurig Thomas

The Royal Institution of Great Britain is renowned the world over, first, because it is a premier arena for the advancement of new scientific and technological knowledge; and second because it highlights the advance of knowledge of all kinds. It bridges the sciences and the humanities, and as much publicity is given to advances in the arts, archaeology, architecture, drama, and literature as to the pure and applied sciences. More famous scientists have lived and worked in the Royal Institution than in any other laboratory in the world. A roll-call includes Rumford, Davy, Faraday, Tyndall, Dewar, Rayleigh, W. H. Bragg, W. L. Bragg, and George Porter. Not only is it the home of continuous electricity, it is also the birthplace of many aspects of molecular biology and viruses and enzymology. 
 
 
 
Albemarle Street: Portraits, Personalities and Presentations at The Royal institution is a lively and compelling personal selection of the remarkable personalities and achievements of some of the extraordinary scientists and individuals who, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, worked or lectured at 21 Albemarle Street in Mayfair, central London. John Meurig Thomas offers a unique and valuable insight into the history of this prestigious address, having himself lived and worked at the Royal Institution for some twenty years.

A Bit of a Writer - Brendan...

Brendan Behan

Brendan Behan wrote over one hundred articles for Irish newspapers between 1951 and 1956 as he rose to international fame, with most of them written in a weekly column in the Irish Press. The articles reveal a serious writer capable of great comic set pieces and amusing yarns as well as thoughtful reflections on cultural and historical issues. They reflect his passion for working-class Dublin life and the history and folklore of the city, as well as his travels in Ireland and Europe.


This edition gathers all the articles and essays that Behan published in newspapers from 1951 to his death in 1964. Selections of Behan's articles have been published since his death (Hold Your Hour and Have Another, 1965; After the Wake, 1981; The Dubbalin Man, 1997). However, there has been no complete edition of Behan's prose, and no edition has provided a detailed biographical and literary introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading. This volume is intended for publication during the centenary celebrations of Behan's birth in 2023, with his birthday being 9 February.
