Sinopse

"Words of English" presents a fascinating exploration of how English transformed from a local Germanic dialect into the global language of today, examining its evolution through historical, modern, and digital perspectives.

 
This comprehensive guide weaves together linguistic research, historical records, and contemporary usage patterns to provide readers with a complete understanding of the language's journey and its current state in global communication.

 
The book's three-part structure takes readers on a chronological journey, beginning with English's Anglo-Saxon origins and the influences of Nordic, French, and Latin languages. It then transitions into an analysis of modern English's unique structural elements, including its phonological system and morphological flexibility. The final section addresses contemporary developments, particularly focusing on how digital communication and global variations are reshaping the language.

 
What sets this work apart is its practical approach to linguistic study, combining scholarly analysis with real-world applications. Each chapter includes exercises and examples that help readers apply theoretical concepts to everyday language use.

 
The book serves multiple audiences effectively, from language students to educators, by maintaining academic rigor while ensuring accessibility. Through its examination of corpus linguistics data and sociolinguistic studies, it provides readers with evidence-based insights into English's ongoing evolution while offering practical tools for improved communication in various contexts.

    Speaking My Soul is the honest story of linguist John R. Rickford's life from his early years as the youngest of ten children in Guyana to his status as Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at Stanford, of the transformation of his identity from colored or mixed race in Guyana to black in the USA, and of his work championing Black Talk and its speakers. 
     
     
     
    In this engaging memoir, Rickford recalls landmark events for his racial identity like being elected president of the Black Student Association at the U of California, Santa Cruz; learning from black expeditions to the South Carolina Sea Islands, Jamaica, Belize, and Ghana; and meeting or interviewing civil rights icons like Huey P. Newton, Rosa Parks, and South African Dennis Brutus. He worked with Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon Martin's friend and key witness in the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. Zimmerman's exoneration sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. 
     
     
     
    This is the account of a former director of African and African American studies whose work has increased our understanding of the richness of African American language and our awareness of the education and criminal justice challenges facing African-Americans. It is key for students and faculty in linguistics, mixed-race studies, African American studies, and social justice.

    Ghost Writing Gold: Strike Gold When You Learn How to Hire the Best Ghostwriter For You! 
    When you hire a writer for your eBook, what you are doing is enlisting the services of a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter is a writer who publishes under someone else's name, with the consent of both parties. Traditionally, ghostwriters have been and are still today hired by celebrities to write autobiographies when the celebrities are not talented writers. Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
    This audiobook will cover the following topics: 
    - How to Select a Great Topic 
    - Where to Find Great Writers 
    - How to Choose the Best Writer For Your Project 
    - And many more! 
    Ultimately you will own the copyright of what the ghostwriter wrote, and you can sell the eBook as many times as you like. If it sounds like a pretty nice arrangement, it is. It's all completely legal and commonly done. To learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!
