World Englishes in Asian Contexts (Asian Englishes Today)
This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the spread, acculturation, functions, and evolution of English in Asia. It discusses all major issues resulting from the introduction of English in culturally different contexts and the two-way interaction of English and local languages in Asia. It also includes an extensive bibliography representing both pedagogical and theoretical works, and lists of additional resources in world English literatures and select websites. This book provides essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in English studies and world Englishes.
The materials presented in Russian Translation: Theory and Practice provide a good overview of general techniques of translation, illustrated by appropriate examples and useful exercises. The book is well-structured and the notes for the tutors teaching the course are very useful.
THIS VOLUME was originally intended to be a collection of selected papers, written in the decade after 1972. The original plan was to rework and to rewrite them individuatly, to create a book of essays. In the process those earlier papers were absorbed into a more general framework, though traces of them can still be found. They became a single book. Its themes are how the young child acquires the wes of his native language and how by using language first for limited ends the child comes finally to recognize its more powerful, productive uses.
This comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible text on idiom use, learning, and teaching approaches the topic with a balance of sound theory and extensive research in cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, and sociolinguistics combined with informed teaching practices.
