Synopsis

The tapestry of human existence is interwoven with the intricate threads of language, a medium through which we communicate, connect, and construct our understanding of the world. From the dawn of civilization, language has served as a bridge between minds, enabling us to share ideas, stories, and emotions that transcend the boundaries of time and space.

This book embarks on a captivating journey through the world of languages, exploring their beauty, mechanics, and profound impact on our lives. We will delve into the intricate structure of language, unraveling the mysteries of grammar, syntax, and semantics. We will witness the remarkable phenomenon of language acquisition, examining how infants effortlessly master their native tongue and how adults navigate the challenges of learning a new language.

Moreover, we will investigate the multifaceted relationship between language and communication, considering how we use language to convey meaning, negotiate social interactions, and bridge cultural divides. We will ponder the profound connection between language and thought, exploring the ways in which language shapes our perception of reality and influences our cognitive processes.

Furthermore, we will examine the dynamic interplay between language and society, uncovering the power structures embedded in language and the ways in which language both reflects and perpetuates social inequalities. We will traverse the vast landscape of language and literature, appreciating the power of words to transport us to different worlds, ignite our imaginations, and challenge our perspectives.

Finally, we will peer into the future of language, contemplating the impact of technology on our linguistic landscape and the implications of globalization for linguistic diversity. We will consider the ethical responsibilities that accompany the development of language technologies and the importance of preserving endangered languages.

Throughout this exploration, we will discover the profound beauty and complexity of language, gaining a deeper appreciation for its role in shaping our lives and our world.

    Being a writer is not just about typing. It’s also about surviving the roller-coaster of the creative journey. 
    Self-doubt, fear of failure, the need for validation, perfectionism, writer’s block, comparisonitis, overwhelm, and much more. When you’re going through these things, it can feel like you’re alone. But actually, they are part of the creative process, and every author goes through them too. 
    This book collects the mindset issues that writers experience, that I have been through myself over the last nine years, and that perhaps you will experience at different times on the creative journey. 
    Each small chapter tackles a possible issue and then offers an antidote, so that you can dip in and out over time. It includes excerpts from my own personal journals as well as quotes from well-known writers. I hope it helps you on the road to becoming a successful author.

    This is the second, revised and expanded edition. The first edition was published under the slightly longer title "How to Take Smart Notes. One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking - for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers". 
    The key to good and efficient writing lies in the intelligent organisation of ideas and notes. This book helps students, academics and other knowledge workers to get more done, write intelligent texts and learn for the long run. It teaches you how to take smart notes and ensure they bring you and your projects forward. 
    The Take Smart Notes principle is based on established psychological insight and draws from a tried and tested note-taking technique: the Zettelkasten. This is the first comprehensive guide and description of this system in English, and not only does it explain how it works, but also why. It suits students and academics in the social sciences and humanities, nonfiction writers and others who are in the business of reading, thinking and writing. 
    Instead of wasting your time searching for your notes, quotes or references, you can focus on what really counts: thinking, understanding and developing new ideas in writing. 
    Dr. Sönke Ahrens is a writer and researcher in the field of education and social science. He is the author of the award-winning book "Experiment and Exploration: Forms of World Disclosure" (Springer). 
    Since its first publication, How to Take Smart Notes has sold more than 100,000 copies and has been translated into seven languages.

    Speaking in Tongues

    Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
     
     
     
    The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.
