Multilingual Perspectives in Geolinguistics: 2nd Edition
Multilingual Perspectives in Geolinguistics: 2nd Edition is a publication of the American Society of Geolinguistics, created with the active participation of its Japanese membership. The 2nd edition is a significantly expanded version with new chapters contributed by special request of the editorial staff. The editors-in-chief are Professor Wayne Finke of Baruch College (City University of New York) and Professor Hikaru Kitabayashi of Daito Bunka University. The object was to offer potential readers a more complete introduction to current literature dealing with geolinguistic themes than was the case with the first edition with Geolinguistics being defined as the study of languages and varieties of language in contact and/or conflict. This 2nd edition also contains many small corrections to the original text and it is to be hoped that it will offer a more satisfying experience than was possible with the first edition, which due to its historical interest is being kept in print for the time being.
Forgetting Items
Alzheimer's disease has not only profound medical consequences for the individual experiencing it but a life-changing impact on those around them. From the moment a person is suspected to be suffering from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, the interactions they encounter progressively change. Forgetting Items focuses on that social experience of Alzheimer's, delineating the ways disease symptoms manifest and are understood through the interactions between patients and the people around them. Mapping out those interactions takes readers through the offices of geriatricians, into patients' narratives and interviews with caregivers, down the corridors of nursing homes, and into the discourses shaping public policies and media coverage. Revealing the everyday experience of Alzheimer's helps us better understand the depth of its impact and points us toward more knowledgeable, holistic ways to help treat the disease.
The Mighty And The Almighty
For a secular age, we have a lot of religious politicians. Theresa May, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, even Donald Trump all profess Christianity, as did Obama, Brown, Sarkozy, Bush and Blair before them. Indeed, it is striking how many Christian Presidents and Prime Ministers have assumed the global stage over recent years. In spite of Alastair Campbell's oft- (and mis-) quoted line, 'We don't do God', it seems like we definitely do. But how sincere is this faith? Is not much of it simply window-dressing for the electorate, paste-on haloes to calm the moral majority? Conversely, how dangerous is it? If we elect our politicians to do our democratic will, do we really want them praying to God...
French London
Who are the people that make up London’s French community and why did they choose to leave France and settle in London? How is ‘Frenchness’ played out in physical and digital diasporic spaces? And what impact has Brexit had on French Londoners’ sense of belonging, identity and embeddedness? French London offers an unprecedented perspective on the everyday lived experience of French migrants in London. Based on years of immersive on-land and on-line empirical enquiry, the book uncovers the motivations underlying mobility from France and the appeal of London as a long-term home. Through the individual (hi)stories of a diverse group of French Londoners and an ethnosemiotic analysis of b...

Expressing Opinions in French and Australian English Discourse
Based on the analysis of conversations between French and Australian English speakers discussing various topics, including their experiences as non-native speakers in France or Australia, this book combines subjective personal testimonies with an objective linguistic analysis of the expression of opinion in discourse. It offers a new perspective on French and Australian English interactional style by examining the discourse markers think, je pense, je crois and je trouve. It is shown that the prosody, intonation unit position, and the surrounding context of these markers are all fundamental to their function and meaning in interaction. In addition, this book offers the first detailed compara...
Auf dem Weg zu einer "Achse Berlin-London"? - Die deutsch-britischen Beziehungen im Rahmen der Europ„ischen Union unter Gerhard Schr”der und Tony Blair (1998-2002)
Mit dem Amtsantritt Tony Blairs im Vereinigten Königreich 1997 und Gerhard Schröders in Deutschland 1998 scheint eine neue Ära in den deutsch-britischen Beziehungen anzubrechen. Politische Beobachter erwarten in dieser Zeit eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit beider Länder, besonders im Rahmen der Europäischen Union (EU). Es scheint als ob Berlin und London sogar Europas neues Führungsduo werden könnten. Dieser Hintergrund veranlasst Andreas N. Ludwig die deutsch-britischen Beziehungen an der Jahrtausendwende zeithistorisch zu erforschen und politikwissenschaftliche zu untersuchen, inwieweit eine deutsch-britische Partnerschaft tatsächlich Potenzial zu einer Führungsrolle in Europa hat. D...
Il libro nero di Putin
Il 24 febbraio 2022, Vladimir Putin, con l'aggressione dell'Ucraina, ha sconvolto l'ordine politico ed economico internazionale e innescato una gravissima crisi globale. Ma cosa lo ha spinto a infrangere la pace che regnava in Europa dal dopoguerra e a scatenare un conflitto che ha già seminato morte e distruzione e avrà tragiche ripercussioni sulla stessa società russa e sull'immagine del paese nel mondo? I saggi contenuti in questo libro - scritti da alcuni dei massimi studiosi della Russia e del comunismo e curati dagli storici Galia Ackerman e Stéphane Courtois, già autore de Il libro nero del comunismo - si propongono di rispondere a questo interrogativo e non solo. Ricostruisco...
