Beschreibung

"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.

  • The Just-World Hypothesis - Believing That People Get What They Deserve - cover

    The Just-World Hypothesis -...

    William Rands

    The Just-World Hypothesis is a psychological concept that suggests people have a deep-seated belief that the world is inherently fair, where individuals get what they deserve. This belief leads people to assume that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. It is a cognitive bias that serves as a mechanism for reducing feelings of anxiety or uncertainty about the randomness and chaos of the world. This belief in a just world helps individuals to feel more in control of their lives and less vulnerable to the uncertainties of the world around them. 
    The hypothesis was first proposed by psychologist Melvin Lerner in the 1960s, and it has since been widely studied in the fields of psychology and sociology. Lerner’s research showed that people often justify the suffering of others by believing that those who experience hardship or injustice must have somehow deserved it. For example, when people see others suffering, they may reason that the victims must have done something to bring the suffering upon themselves, whether through their actions, choices, or inherent characteristics. This allows people to maintain their belief in a just world, as it provides a sense of order and predictability in what might otherwise seem to be a random and unfair world. 
    One of the primary psychological functions of the Just-World Hypothesis is to reduce feelings of powerlessness. When individuals can attribute suffering to a victim's behavior or actions, they can distance themselves from the fear of experiencing similar fates. This belief offers a form of psychological protection, assuring people that they can avoid misfortune by adhering to social norms, behaving morally, and making the right choices. As a result, individuals may experience less anxiety about the unpredictability of life, as they can convince themselves that misfortune is not random, but rather a consequence of personal shortcomings or wrongdoings.

    We broke our new series on learning Romanian 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 Romanian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian 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 Romanian 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 Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, 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.
