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.

    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.
