Exploring Sociolinguistics - Language in Society

Sitara Nambeesan

Synopsis

"Exploring Sociolinguistics: Language in Society" is a comprehensive handbook designed for students with a background in linguistics and sociolinguistics, offering an advanced and up-to-date exploration of the field. The contributors, renowned for their contributions to sociolinguistics, provide authoritative and detailed overviews of key areas in an accessible manner.
This book is not an introductory textbook but a resource for readers to delve into specific chapters based on their interests and needs. It is also valuable for academics and researchers outside sociolinguistics who wish to stay informed about new developments in this increasingly important field within the humanities.
We provide the most comprehensive overview available, surveying a wide range of topics and approaches to studying language variation and usage in society. Beyond linguistic perspectives, the handbook includes insights from anthropology, social psychology, discourse and power research, conversation analysis, style and styling theories, language contact, and applied sociolinguistics. As language practices have evolved significantly since the late 20th century, this guide demonstrates how sociolinguistics, along with other branches of linguistics and social sciences, offers the best tools for understanding our evolving social nature.
Each chapter presents a state-of-the-art overview of major sub-disciplines within language study and research, organized into broad thematic areas. Together, these chapters provide a cohesive picture of the latest theories and findings, forming an integrated overview of the discipline.

Burns and Black Lives

Clark McGinn

Would Burns 'Take the Knee' today?
How could our Burns, the people's poet, look to become an instrument in what many now call 'The Black Holocaust'?
Did Burns intend to travel knowing he would become a slavedriver, and broadly what that meant in terms of imposing suffering on others?
Did this knowledge change his mind on emigrating to Jamaica?
What would Burns have done had he actually gone?
In the last decade of his life, as the debate for Abolition grew louder in Scotland, to what extent did this campaigning tide of information change his mindset?
How was Burns used after his death in the fights for Abolition and Emancipation, particularly in the USA – in its Civil War and its Civil Rights movement?
Through meticulous research and a compelling narrative, Clark McGinn examines Burns' connections to the transatlantic slave trade, highlighting the paradoxes and moral conflicts during the poet's time. He does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, presenting a nuanced portrait that challenges readers to reconcile Burns' literary genius with the ethical ambiguities of his time.
Burns and Black Lives is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, history and social justice, offering a profoundre-examination of one of Scotland's most iconic figures.
