Sinossi

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.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.136 by Tan Acharn Kor Khao-suan-luang (Upāsikā Kee Ñāṇayon), 'A Good Dose of Dhamma: For Meditators WhenThey Are Ill' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. Translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. 
     
    Excerpt from Chapter 1 
    "Normally, illness is something we all have, but the type of illness where you can still do your work isn’t recognised as illness. It is called the normal human state all over the world. Yet really, when the body is in its normal state, it is still ill in and of itself. People in general are simply unaware of the fact that there is the deterioration of physical and mental phenomena, continually, from moment to moment. 
    The way people get carried away with their thoughts and preoccupations while they’re still strong enough to do this and do that: that’s really complacency. They’re no match at all for people lying in bed ill.People lying in bed ill are lucky because they have the opportunity to do nothing but contemplate stress and pain. Their minds don’t take up anything else, don’t go anywhere else. They can contemplate pain at all times—and let go of pain at all times as well."

    Human trafficking is one of the most pressing social justice issues of our time, and in recent years there has been renewed interest among Christians, as many have been stirred up to take their part in the ongoing battle.
    This is a wonderful thing—and yet misinformed and misguided efforts can do more harm than good. Ending Human Trafficking is a handbook designed to educate churches and parachurch organizations for truly effective work.
    In collaboration with The Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University, Ending Human Trafficking is an accessible and compelling resource for Christian leaders, written by seasoned leaders in the struggle against modern slavery. Grounded in a theological response to the issue and filled with stories, up-to-date data, and practical tools and tips, it promises to be an invaluable resource for years to come.

    When the casket reached the front of the sanctuary, there was a loud cracking sound as the bottom fell out. And with a thump, down came Father Iggy. 
     
     
      
    From shoot-outs at funerals to dead men screaming and runaway corpses, undertakers have plenty of unusual stories to tell—and a special way of telling them. 
     
     
      
    In this macabre and moving compilation, funeral directors across the country share their most embarrassing, jaw-dropping, irreverent, and deeply poignant stories about life at death's door. Discover what scares them and what moves them to tears. Learn about rookie mistakes and why death sometimes calls for duct tape. 
     
     
      
    Enjoy tales of the dearly departed spending eternity naked from the waist down and getting bottled and corked—in a wine bottle. And then meet their families—the weepers, the punchers, the stolidly dignified, and the ones who deliver their dead mother in a pickup truck. 
     
     
      
    If there's one thing undertakers know, it's that death drives people crazy. These are the best "bodies of work" from America's darkest profession.

    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.
