Language and Human Relations
Exploring practices in the family, school, the workplace, this book investigates the varied ways people choose to address one another.
Grammar Between Norm and Variation
The articles collected in this volume offer the most various access to the discussed questions on norm and variation. In their entirety, they reflect the current discussion of the topic. Focusing on the object languages German and English ensures a high level of topical consistency. On the other hand, the four large topic areas (emergence and change of norms and grammatical constructions; relationship of codes of norms and 'real' language usage; competition of standard and non-standard language norms; and subsistent norms of minority languages and «institutionalised second-language varieties») cover a large range of relevant issues, thereby certainly giving an impetus to new and further investigations.
Live Like Nobody Is Watching
Respect for patient autonomy and data privacy are generally accepted as foundational western bioethical values. Nonetheless, as our society embraces expanding forms of personal and health monitoring, particularly in the context of an aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, questions abound about how artificial intelligence (AI) may change the way we define or understand what it means to live a free and healthy life. Who should have access to our health and recreational data and for what purpose? How can we find a balance between users' physical safety and their autonomy? Should we allow individuals to forgo continuous health monitoring, even if such monitoring may...
It's different with you
This book is a collection of studies about forms of address in the world’s languages, with a focus on contrast and difference. The individual chapters highlight inter- and intralinguistic variation in the expression of address and its sociol-cultural functions across media, registers, geographical contexts and time – in more than 15 languages. The volume showcases the variety of approaches that exists in current address research, including the breadth of contrastive methodologies harnessing surveys and questionnaires, focus group discussions, corpus linguistics, discourse and conversation analysis to offer complementary perspectives on culture-specific address practice. This volume is for students and researchers of address and social interaction in a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including various sub-disciplines of linguistics (such as contrastive, variational and intercultural pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and morphology) and intercultural communication, as well as experts in individual languages and qualitative sociologists.
INKED
Casey, Theodore Cranston Randall Monterey, who prefers to be called EDY lives for ‘jack’. Adopted on his thirty-fourth day of life, EDY seeks revenge for the injustice that he believes has been wrongfully delivered through his adoption. Striving to avenge the injustice his untoward lifestyle eventually leads him to Bread Man. Through a restorative justice mentorship program EDY is assigned to ride shotgun in Bastien Fergus Hunt’s bread wagon for 16 weeks. EDY defiantly accepts his 16-week assignment with no intention of accepting the tutelage of Bread Man. A middle-aged man and a defiant youth navigate the daily 10-hour sojourn through a rural community, delivering bread to fourteen communities. Guarded, defiant and angry EDY is confident he can navigate the 16-week punishment with minimal engagement, so that he may return to his free-wheeling self-absorbed lifestyle. Bread man, on the other hand, is not easily provoked or irritated. Through strained conversations, they eventually discover they share similar journeys. The Bread Wagon serves as a space where a mentor and reluctant learner eventually uncover their shared angst.
