Exploring Sociolinguistics - Language in Society

Sitara Nambeesan

Summary

"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.

Strange but True Stories Tales...

Martin K. Ettington

I have researched and written over 150 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. Some of these books are based on my own experiences and most topics are based on my research. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life. 
This book includes over sixty true stories on many different subjects to provide a lot of food for thought on these topics. 
These stories cover Bigfoot, Aliens & UFOs, Time and Dimensional travel stories, survival stories, ancient civilizations, Out Of Place Artifacts, Dragons, Giant Snakes, the Paranormal, Longevity, Outer Space, Spiritual Experiences, Impossible Ruins, and much more. 
Graduated from Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices. My goal is to write about weird topics from an analytical perspective. 
When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the Universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.

Homer And Classical Philology

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that Homer's poetry represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek culture and embodies the ideal of a harmonious and heroic society. However, he also challenges the traditional views of classical philology that have portrayed Homer as a mere historian or chronicler of events, and instead sees him as a visionary poet who transcends the boundaries of history and time. Overall, Homer and Classical Philology offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most influential literary figures in history, and sheds light on the enduring relevance of classical philology in contemporary society. Read in English, unabridged.
