Dialects Snowmine - LP 634457644113

Taking aim at the conventional narrative that standard, national languages transform 'peasants' into citizens, Gina Anne Tam centers the history of the Chinese nation and national identity on fangyan - languages like Shanghainese, Cantonese, and dozens of others that are categorically different from the Chinese national language, Mandarin. She traces how, on the one hand, linguists, policy-makers, bureaucrats and workaday educators framed fangyan as non-standard 'variants' of the Chinese language, subsidiary in symbolic importance to standard Mandarin. She simultaneously highlights, on the other hand, the folksong collectors, playwrights, hip-hop artists and popular protestors who argued that fangyan were more authentic and representative of China's national culture and its history. From the late Qing through the height of the Maoist period, these intertwined visions of the Chinese nation - one spoken in one voice, one spoken in many - interacted and shaped one another, and in the process, shaped the basis for national identity itself.

The Dialect of Modernism uncovers the crucial role of racial masquerade and linguistic imitation in the emergence of literary modernism. Rebelling against the standard language, and literature written in it, modernists, such as Joseph Conrad, Gertrude Stein, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams reimagined themselves as racial aliens and mimicked the strategies of dialect speakers in their work. In doing so, they made possible the most radical representational strategies of modern literature, which emerged from their attack on the privilege of standard language. At the same time, however, another movement, identified with Harlem, was struggling to free itself from the very dialect the modernists appropriated, at least as it had been rendered by two generations of white dialect writers. For writers such as Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston, this dialect became a barrier as rigid as the standard language itself. Thus, the two modern movements, which arrived simultaneously in 1922, were linked and divided by their different stakes in the same language. In The Dialect of Modernism, Michael North shows, through biographical and historical investigation, and through careful readings of major literary works, that however different they were, the two movements are inextricably connected, and thus, cannot be considered in isolation. Each was marked, for good and bad, by the other.

The sociolinguist William Labov has worked for decades on change in progress in American dialects and on African American Vernacular English (AAVE). In Dialect Diversity in America, Labov examines the diversity among American dialects and presents the counterintuitive finding that geographically localized dialects of North American English are increasingly diverging from one another over time. Contrary to the general expectation that mass culture would diminish regional differences, the dialects of Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Birmingham, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and New York are now more different from each other than they were a hundred years ago. Equally significant is Labov's finding that AAVE does not map with the geography and timing of changes in other dialects. The home dialect of most African American speakers has developed a grammar that is more and more different from that of the white mainstream dialects in the major cities studied and yet highly homogeneous throughout the United States.Labov describes the political forces that drive these ongoing changes, as well as the political consequences in public debate. The author also considers the recent geographical reversal of political parties in the Blue States and the Red States and the parallels between dialect differences and the results of recent presidential elections. Finally, in attempting to account for the history and geography of linguistic change among whites, Labov highlights fascinating correlations between patterns of linguistic divergence and the politics of race and slavery, going back to the antebellum United States. Complemented by an online collection of audio files that illustrate key dialectical nuances, Dialect Diversity in America offers an unparalleled sociolinguistic study from a preeminent scholar in the field.

Testi di Youssef Elhafidi, Ricardo Quesada, Stepanov Votation, Caterina Borelli, Zakaria Mourachid. Fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Felipe Romero Beltran. Edizione in inglese e spagnolo . Cm 30x21. pp. 176. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Le poetiche del documentario, della performance e della coreografia si combinano per interrogare politicamente il tempo morto della burocrazia per i giovani migranti bloccati nel sistema legale spagnolo.Dialect racconta tre anni di violenza di Stato per nove giovani migranti marocchini esiliati in un limbo kafkiano a Siviglia, nel sud della Spagna. Quando i migranti minorenni entrano illegalmente nel Paese e non possono essere identificati come adulti, la loro custodia rimane nelle mani dello Stato - sottoponendoli a un lungo processo che può durare fino a tre anni per ottenere lo status legale.In questo stato di sospensione e liminalità, Beltrán utilizza il corpo come metafora: utilizzando un linguaggio attentamente articolato tra fotografia, performance e collaborazione, il peso del tempo morto viene registrato sulle spalle di questi giovani uomini, entrando in dialogo con i loro ricordi, i loro viaggi e l'umiliante realtà dell'attesa e della migrazione. Insieme alle opere video e alla danza coreografata, Dialect apre un nuovo terreno documentario per gettare una luce critica sulle pratiche di oppressione burocratica.

This work accounts for the influence mutually intelligible dialects of a language have on one another when they come into contact. It examines linguisitic accommodation in face-to-face interaction, and treats this phenomenon as crucial to an understanding of longer-term phenomena, such as the geographical spread of linguistic features, the development of "interdialect" and the growth of new dialects.

Gaston Bachelard (1884 -1962) is one of the most famous philosophers of the French 20th century, leaving a huge body of writing stretching from his first publication in 1928 right up to the time of his death. His subject matter was diverse - to date, the texts chosen for translation into English have reflected his 'literary critical' writing career, but there remains an impressive body of untranslated work on the philosophy of science. He held the chair of History of Philosophy of Science at La Sorbonne. Bachelard's work has and retains a profound influence in the French-speaking world. His writing career as a whole can be understood as a meditation on science in the context of human being and the creative, 'poetic' side of human nature, featuring restless reformulations of psychoanalysis and phenomenology . Dialectic of Duration addresses the nature of time, taking issue specifically with Henri Bergson's notion of duration, or 'lived' time, as found in Bergson's Duration and Simultaneity and Matter and Memory. For Bachelard, contra Bergson, the experience of lived time was fractured, interrupted, not 'single' and continuous; he argues that there is no one underlying thread - that time is multiple and discrete. This had and has crucial significance for the debate between Bergson and the physics of Relativity. This first time English translation has been undertaken by Bachelard scholar Dr Mary McAllester Jones of Strathclyde University, whose Gaston Bachelard - Subversive Humanist has done much to broaden Bachelard's English-language reputation. The introduction is by Dr Cristina Chimisso.

Garr's classic study on dialect geography of the Levant was the first book-length attempt to follow in the steps of Zellig Harris, The Development of the Canaanite Dialects in 45 years. This Eisenbrauns' reprint makes the book (out of print for several years) available once again to students of the Canaanite languages. The book opens with an introduction that gives the methodology used, a survey of past studies, the corpus of texts used in the study, and Garr's goals. The next three chapters provide a comprehensive list of phonological, morphological, and syntactical features, which are then gathered into a comprehensive table and analyzed for their relevance to dialectical classification. Conclusions and a rich bibliography follow, as well as indexes of subject, texts cited, and words.
