Sinopsis

Linguistic Shifts explores the captivating story of language evolution, revealing how languages have changed over millennia through interaction, migration, and cultural exchange. This book examines the mechanisms behind language change, the influence of language contact, and language's role in shaping cultural identity and historical narratives.

 
Did you know that the Great Vowel Shift dramatically altered English pronunciation between the 14th and 18th centuries? Or that borrowing words from other languages can significantly reshape a language's vocabulary and structure?

 
The book adopts a structured approach, beginning with the fundamental principles of language change, such as shifts in pronunciation and grammar. It then investigates the impact of language contact, including borrowing and creolization, before focusing on the relationship between language and culture, looking at how language reflects cultural values.

 
By weaving together insights from linguistics, history, anthropology, and sociology, Linguistic Shifts offers a comprehensive understanding of how languages evolve and influence society. The book progresses across chapters to provide a broad view of how language change reflects societal transformations.

  • Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious - Reframed and Expanded - cover

    Life's Too Short to Pretend...

    We can't just be done with religion, argues David Dark. The fact of religion is the fact of us. Religion is the witness of everything we're up to—for better or worse. 
     
     
     
    David Dark is one of today's most respected thinkers, public intellectuals, and cultural critics at the intersection of faith and culture. Since its original release, Dark's Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious has become essential reading for those engaged in the conversation on religion in contemporary American society. Now, Dark returns to his classic text and offers us a revised, expanded, and reframed edition that reflects a more expansive understanding, employs inclusive language, and tackles the most pressing issues of the day. 
     
     
     
    With the same keen powers of cultural observation, candor, and wit audiences have come to know and love, Dark weaves in current themes around the pandemic and vaccine responses, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, critical race theory, and more. By looking intentionally at our weird religious background (we all have one), he helps us acknowledge the content of our everyday existence—the good, the bad, and the glaringly inconsistent. When we make peace with the idea of being religious, we can more practically envision an undivided life.

    News and Democratic Citizens in...

    Though people frequently use mobile technologies for news consumption, evidence from several fields shows that smaller screens and slower connection speeds pose major limitations for meaningful reading. In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. 
     
     
     
    Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.
