Sinossi

'Popular Slang' offers a fascinating exploration of how informal language serves as a mirror to societal evolution and cultural identity. This comprehensive study examines the intricate relationship between slang development and social change, revealing how casual language expressions emerge, spread through communities, and either become mainstream or disappear over time.

 
Through a combination of sociolinguistic research and modern data analysis, the book illuminates how slang functions as both a marker of group belonging and a powerful tool for cultural expression. The book's journey begins with fundamental principles of slang creation, supported by compelling case studies from various decades, before diving into the revolutionary impact of digital communication and social media on language evolution.

 
What makes this work particularly valuable is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting linguistic analysis with sociological insights and contemporary digital trends. By examining how different communities adopt and adapt slang, readers gain insight into the vital role informal language plays in shaping social cohesion and group identity.

 
Through its progression from historical patterns to modern digital influences, the book challenges traditional views of slang as merely degraded speech, instead positioning it as a crucial mechanism for linguistic innovation and cultural expression. The analysis of viral language trends, combined with extensive databases tracking slang across time and social groups, provides readers with a robust understanding of how informal language reflects broader social movements and generational shifts. This makes the book an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamic relationship between language evolution and cultural change.

Ancient Iran: A Captivating...

Captivating History

Discover the history of Ancient Iran that spans from Iran’s mysterious origins to the Islamic conquest. 
Ancient Persia conjures images of extravagant palaces, beautiful gardens, mighty armies, and all-powerful kings, queens, and princes. The beginnings of Iranian antiquity are enigmatic, but from the cradle of the western Zagros Mountains came the greatest empires the world has ever known. The Elamites, Medians, Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sassanids all sprang from interlinked cultural origins that could trace their roots back through each successive empire. 
The ancient Persians experienced cultural mingling over time, such as the Mediterranean Hellenistic era, which brought the Greeks and Romans. Much later, the Muslim Arabs disrupted the last of the ancient empires and imprinted their new religion, Islam, across Greater Iran. But the Persian culture held firm for millennia, and after five thousand years of imperial conquests, Iran retains the ancient identity of its first people. 
In this audiobook, you will learn: More about the prehistoric ancestors of Iran and their tribal originsWhat is meant by “Persia” and how this changed over timeAbout the mighty Iranian Empires that dominated half of EurasiaThe influence of foreign empires and why they didn’t lastHow the Persian kings impacted major world religionsThe complexity of Iranian culture and why it survived for millenniaHow ancient causes have inspired Iran’s national identity

Going Public - A Survivor’s...

Julie Macfarlane

It took Julie Macfarlane a lifetime to say the words out loud — the words that finally broke the calm and traveled farther than she could have imagined. In this clear-eyed account, she confronts her own silence and deeply rooted trauma to chart a remarkable course from sexual abuse victim to agent of change.
		 
Going Public merges the worlds of personal and professional, activism and scholarship. Drawing upon decades of legal training, Macfarlane decodes the well-worn methods used by church, school, and state to silence survivors, from first reporting to cross-examination to non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, she lays bare the isolation and exhaustion of going public in her own life, as she takes her abuser to court, challenges her colleagues, and weathers a defamation lawsuit.
		 
The result is far more than a memoir. It’s a courageous and essential blueprint on how to go toe-to-toe with the powers behind institutional abuse and protectionism. At long last, Macfarlane’s experiences bring her to the most important realization of her life: that only she can stand in her own shoes, and only she can stand up and speak about what happened to her.
