Making Sense of "Bad English"
Why is it that some ways of using English are considered "good" and others are considered "bad"? Why are certain forms of language termed elegant, eloquent or refined, whereas others are deemed uneducated, coarse, or inappropriate? Making Sense of "Bad English" is an accessible introduction to attitudes and ideologies towards the use of English in different settings around the world. Outlining how perceptions about what constitutes "good" and "bad" English have been shaped, this book shows how these principles are based on social factors rather than linguistic issues and highlights some of the real-life consequences of these perceptions. Features include: an overview of attitudes towards Eng...

Discourse-Pragmatic Variation and Change
Discourse-pragmatic markers are central to everyday language, yet many aspects of their use and functions remain elusive or under-investigated. Bringing together a global team of leading scholars, this volume presents a representative showcase of work currently being conducted in the field of discourse-pragmatic variation and change, including investigations of features such as uh/um, please, sentence-final is all, and discourse-pragmatic features from a number of languages. The book emphasizes that not only have researchers answered the call to address complex issues such as cross-linguistic reliability, extending research across languages, and expanding and improving on methods and analysis, but that they continue to address perennial questions in the field of language variation and change. With sections on theoretical and methodological issues, innovative variables, and language contact situations, the volume offers a robust overview of best practices for both new and experienced researchers.
Double Identity
So my only protection is a kindergarten teacher and a ninety-eight-pound female minister....And they don't even believe I'm in danger.

Bethany's only clue is a few words she overheard he...

Confessions Of An Internet Dater
It took a certain amount of strength to accept that a life alone was a better life. Then it took time to decide that a life alone would be better if shared with the person I love, only --- I hadn’t found him yet. The process of finding my perfect man was emotionally exhausting and fraught with anxiety about what lay ahead. Did my perfect man even exist? If only life had fast-forward and rewind buttons. Alas! That’s not how life works! I just had to plunge in, keep looking for what I wanted, sorting and sifting, hoping the right man would find me and love me back. And he did.
