The Rhaeto-Romance Languages (Romance Linguistics)
1
 
 
The Rhaeto-Romance Languages (Romance Linguistics)The Rhaeto-Romance languages have been known as such to the linguistic community since the pioneering studies of Ascoli and Gartner over a century ago. There has never been a community of RR speakers based on a common history or polity and the various dialects are mutually unintelligible, but a unity, based on a number of common features, has been advanced. This book is the first general description of the Rhaeto-Romance languages to be written in English. It provides a critical examination of the phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax of the modern Rhaeto-Romance dialects within the broader perspective of Romance comparative linguistics.

New York City English (Dialects of English)New York City English (Dialects of English)

This book is the first to examine the English spoken in New York City comprehensively, including pronunciation, grammar, and discourse. Using sources from classic studies to original data, Newman describes New Yorkers' speech in a way that is linguistically rigorous yet accessible to non-specialists. The book also shows how the linguistic similarities and differences among New Yorkers are rooted in social, cultural, and historical factors.

Language Diversity in the Classroom (Bilingual Education and Bilingualism)

Language Diversity in the Classroom (Bilingual Education and Bilingualism)This book provides comprehensive coverage of language contact in classroom settings. A thorough analysis of the sources and implications of social disadvantage is presented first, since the nonstandard dialects that children bring with them to school - and the unfavourable perceptions of these dialects - have traditionally given rise to educational difficulties. The persistence of these perceptions is particularly highlighted. More general issues surrounding the range and implications of language attitudes are dealt with, as is the important test case of Black English. The book also discusses foreign-language teaching and learning...
