Bibliography of Modern Romani Linguistics
The interest in Romani, the language of the Roma or "Gypsies", has grown considerably in recent years. Romani has drawn attention from a.o. grammarians, sociolinguists, Indologists, language contact researchers, language planners, educators, typologists and historical linguists.This Indic language is spoken by between five and ten million people world-wide. The bibliography also covers two other Indic languages spoken by peripatetic groups, Dom or Domari from the Middle East, and Lomavren or Bosha of Eastern Turkey and Armenia.The bibliography contains over 2500 titles in more than thirty languages, published between 1900 to 2003. English translations are provided for all titles written in less common languages. There are indexes for general and linguistic terms, Romani varieties, other languages and geographical terms.The book further contains a very useful "Guide to Romani Linguistics", which should enable newcomers to enter this highly interesting field by pointing to the essential titles in different subject areas.

The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz
Do you want to know when Duke Ellington was king of The Cotton Club? Have you ever wondered how old Miles Davis was when he got his first trumpet? From birth dates to gig dates and from recordings to television specials, Leonard Feather and Ira Gitler have left no stone unturned in their quest for accurate, detailed information on the careers of 3.300 jazz musicians from around the world.

Llengua i identitat
Diuen els investigadors que cada cop s’utilitza més el terme identitat, fet que s’explica per la necessitat d’observar i comprendre fenòmens reals -vells i nous- que s’estan donant entre els individus i que resten encara poc entesos i explicats. Un fet que no deu anar deslligat del contacte cultural entre els distints grups humans que tenen lloc amb els canvis socials experimentats en una societat cada cop més heterogènia...... En aquest marc, el Centre Universitari de Sociolingüística i Comunicació (CUSC) va acollir entre finals del 2005 i principis del 2006 la celebració del cicle de conferències "Llengua i identitat": conferències que, en la seva majoria, es recullen aquí i donen compte de la situació sociolingüística a territoris de parla catalana i a territoris d’altres llengües de l’estat espanyol i de l’estat francès i italià. .El lector hi trobarà un bon conjunt d’idees a càrrec d’autors de primera línia que certament el faran pensar i rumiar sobre les intricades i diverses relacions entre els fenòmens identitaris i els fenòmens lingüístics.
