Hosea's Prophetic Journey
In Hosea's Prophetic Journey: Exploring Divine Love and Judgment in Ancient Israel, Lee J. Hancock delves into the timeless themes of faith, unfaithfulness, and redemption woven throughout the prophet Hosea's powerful writings. Set against the turbulent backdrop of 8th-century BCE Israel, Hosea's story unfolds as both a personal journey and a divine message, depicting a nation entangled in spiritual infidelity and political turmoil. Through a marriage marked by betrayal and reconciliation, Hosea becomes a living allegory of Israel's covenant with God-showing that even in the face of betrayal, steadfast love remains possible.

On Becoming Neighbors
Fred Rogers is an American cultural and media icon, whose children's television program, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, ran for more than thirty years (1967-2001) on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). In this highly original book, Alexandra C. Klar矇n shows how Rogers captured the moral, social, and emotional imaginations of multiple generations of Americans. She explores the nuanced complexity of the thought behind the man and the program, the dialogical integration of his various influences, and the intentional ethic of care behind the creation of a program that spoke to the affective, socio-cultural, and educational needs of children (and adults) during a period of cultural upheaval. Richly informed by newly available archival materials, On Becoming Neighbors chronicles the evolution of Rogers' thought on television, children, pedagogy, and the family through a rhetorical, cultural, and ethical lens. Klar矇n probes how Rogers creates the conditions for dialogue in which participants explore possibilities and questions relating to the social and material world.
Feminism, Corpus-Assisted Research and Language Inclusivity
This Element presents an investigation into the use of the gender inclusive strategy schwa in a corpus of tweets; the schwa is employed in Italian to overcome grammatical (feminine and masculine) morphological inflections, having at its core linguistic and social binarism. The investigation is set in a country where LGBTQIA communities still face institutional discrimination, yet it is contextualised in the growing work on inclusivity discussed in languages and contexts worldwide. The corpus is examined quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as read through a triangulation of two frameworks: Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies and Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings, obtained from corpus-assisted research and digital ethnography, show that the new linguistic strategy is used creatively, functionally, and not exclusively as a self-representation tool but is also a viable and powerful replacement for generic sexist language.

Nationalism in James Joyce織s "Ulysses"
Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: The beginning of the twentieth century was accompanied by omnifarious events changing the worldview of people: various teachings, scientific progress, First World War. There is no doubt that all these factors had their impact on literature. The relationship between writer and reader, look inside oneself, own consciousness was reflected on writers such as James Joyce. Irish author, worried about British-Irish conflict and engaged in nationalist question, made the Ulysses novel partially nationalistic in its intention. There is no doubt that in Ulysses, Joyce criticizes the utopian and cultural past of Ireland and ridicules any signs of English chauvinism and Anti- Semitism. At the same time, the author shows his hostility towards the Irish cultural nationalism, and the Catholic and Protestant ideologies. He also revises the concept of "Nation" which has been officially approved at the beginning of nineteenth century. The question remains which themes associated with nationalism does Joyce introduce in the novel. How does he present the characters and relationships between them? These topics are important to observe in order to reveal Joyce織s perception of the history. Further, how does he try to influence the reader by using methods referring to narrative composition, such as extraordinary style and language, allusions, literary devices, narrative structure? What is the author織s intention and meaning underlying the narrative composition? These subjects are necessary to observe to reveal how Joyce shows his struggle against nationalism. The "Telemachus" and "Nestor" chapters are worth considering, because they most significantly present cultural and historical memories of the author; whereas the "Aeolus" and "Cyclops" chapters considerably deal with nationalistic critique.

Multilingual Teaching
Identifies school language speakers as the missing piece in multilingual teaching. This book lays out a radical new all-in approach to teaching in linguistically diverse classrooms: that everyone, including those who already speak the school language, is included in multilingual pedagogy. The author argues that school language speakers are the missing piece in multilingual teaching and provides a new resource, Linguistically Appropriate Practice Plus (LAP+) to help teachers engage these learners in meaningful language tasks and support their language skills and interests. With all learners on board, multilingual teaching becomes pedagogy that is fully inclusive and linguistically fair.
Carrying Verbs Across the Channel
This book examines grammatical changes that took place in the medieval language contact situation between English and French from 1066 until 1500. It investigates structural copying phenomena and their connection with the lexicon, finding that copying of lexical verbs with a predicate-argument structure accelerated wider grammatical changes, and shows why the traditional notion of borrowing should be replaced with the more adequate concept of copying. The authors start by taking a fresh look at the relationship between Old French and Middle English in light of recent developments in the fi eld of linguistics, arguing that what has traditionally been seen as a diglossic situation (i.e., as contact between the dominating speakers of French and the native speakers of English) should instead be analysed through the framework of bilingualism. The two contact scenarios under scrutiny are the ones between Old French and Middle English and Middle English and the contact variety of Anglo-French. On the basis of their case studies they develop a holistic model of contact-induced change that integrates the bilingual individual as well as the speech community and its sociolinguistic background. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of language history and change, language contact and acquisition, sociolinguistics, multilingualism, and psycholinguistics.
Multilingual Baseball
What can baseball teach us about language, culture, and society? The first book-length exploration of multilingualism in professional sports, Multilingual Baseballprovides an intimate look at language diversity in the transnational world of baseball. Based on extensive interviews and observations in the US and the Dominican Republic, the book foregrounds the voices of current and former players, coaches, front office personnel, international scouts, language teachers, and interpreters, with baseball experience in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. Engaging a wide range of foundational concepts within sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and linguistic and cultural anthropology, the analysis reveals the relevance of bilingualism to the social and economic realities of professional baseball as a transnational business. It also illuminates day-to-day encounters with linguistic and cultural difference on the field, in clubhouses, and in communities around the world. Through this linguistic lens, the book delves into social issues in diverse societies by connecting interactions within baseball to the broader challenges of immigration, race, and demographic change. While grounded in the experiences of Spanish and English speakers in US Major League Baseball organizations, Multilingual Baseballpresents the transnational game as a microcosm of globalizing societies around the world, inviting readers to consider what we can learn from the bilingual understandings and misunderstandings that arise in everyday baseball interactions.
Epifanii Slavinetskii's Greek-Slavonic-Latin Lexicon Between East and West
The Greek-Slavonic-Latin Lexicon compiled by the Ruthenian monk Epifanii Slavinetskii (d. 1675, Moscow) is a valuable historical witness to the development of written language in the Early Modern East Slavic world. This study represents the first in-depth exploration of the dictionary's linguistic profile and structure. It addresses topics related to multilingualism, language attitudes, and language contact with reference to the dictionary's lexical material, and presents a systematic analysis of its sources, which comprise Western European reference works as well as Greek and Slavonic manuscripts and printed texts. Emphasis is additionally placed on specifically Ruthenian elements on multiple levels of language. The investigation of these topics enables us not only to revise and substantiate certain assumptions about Epifanii Slavinetskii and his legacy, but also opens a new window onto the interaction of written idioms in the Early Modern Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Muscovy.
Roman Ingarden's Heritage in Multicultural Investigations
The intellectual legacy of Roman Ingarden, an eminent Polish philosopher, is a vast body of work covering many academic disciplines and deserves an in-depth and a non-homogeneous study. The monograph Roman Ingarden's Heritage in Multicultural Investigations offers the reader an interdisciplinary journey through numerous aspects of linguistics, literary studies, social communication and media sciences. On the one hand, this volume includes several papers exploring multicultural issues of translation, linguistic interactions, formulation of textual messages and the publication of literary works in multidimensional environments. On the other hand, a collection of further texts describes the nature of today's media, their function and role in a multicultural world and beyond. The 130th anniversary of Roman Ingarden's birth calls for a lively debate to determine the actual role that contemporary interdisciplinary studies play in today's multicultural world. This book is a response to that call.
Lexicography and Language Variation
Lexicography is one of the oldest linguistic sub-disciplines and began to compile extensive corpora early on as the basis for dictionary work. Surprisingly, these corpora and the dictionary articles have not been used very frequently for the study of language variation, although most dictionaries do not only contain information about word meanings and grammar, but also on regional distribution or style level. This volume explores the value of lexicographical data in the study of language variation. The contributions focus on different types of dictionaries for different languages as well as on various linguistic research questions ranging from the dictionaries' approach to loan words or morphology to practical issues regarding digital frameworks for lexicographic work.

Support-verb constructions in the corpora of Greek
This volume brings together corpora that span more than 3,000 years of the history of the Greek language, from Ittz矇s' chapter on the proto-language to Giouli's chapter on the modern language. The authors take wider or narrower approaches with regard to the form and functionof the type of construction that they include in the group of support-verb constructions: while all would agree that English to take initiative is a support-verb construction, opinions differ on English to take wing. The chapters reflect a fascinating diversity of approaches to support-verb constructions, including Natural Language Processing, Comparative Philology, New Testament Exegesis, Coptology, and General Linguistics. The volume is structured along the three interfaces that support-verb constructions sit on, the syntax-lexicon, the syntax-semantics, and the syntax-pragmatics interfaces. We finish with four concrete avenues for further research. Faced with the diversity of approaches and the magnitude of disagreements arising from them when working with as internally diverse a group of constructions as support-verb constructions, we strive for in varietate unitas.
A Brief History of the Chinese Language IV

Valuation of women as historical, social and cultural subjects
The present research work carried out by two fifth year students of Language and Literature at the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua UNAN-LE?N, aims to assess the historical, social and cultural value of women in the work "El Burdel de las Pedrarias" by Ricardo Pasos Marciacq, based on a narratological analysis, applying the triadic theory of the French philologist Gerard Genette, father of narratology. In addition to determine the impact and the social aspect that women of the colonial era had in the novel "El Burdel de las Pedrarias". To give knowledge of this investigation we elaborated strategies and reading techniques: we reread the work, analyzing and synthesizing by chapters the whole novel in order to achieve a better and greater understanding, at the same time reflecting on the importance of the knowledge of our history in which our natives were participants in the time of the conquest and colonization of Nicaragua.
Difficulties in the application of reading comprehension levels in modernist stories
The literary work of the poet Rub矇n Dar穩o deserves special attention, mainly the publication of his work Azul (1888), a primordial work that constituted the gestation of the movement he founded: Literary Modernism. The most novel aspect of his work Azul are his prose stories where we identify a high social content, where the poet reveals the influences of French currents: narrative novelty, precious and grandiloquent language. The realization of literary studies related to the reading comprehension of Dariana's prose, particularly in the work Azul, is difficult.particularly in the work Azul, is difficult for students to interpret, since the vocabulary used in his stories is complex and requires in many cases a Dariana dictionary to be fully understood.
Linguistic and Genetic (Mtdna) Connections Between Native Peoples of Alaska and California

Structuring Lexical Data and Digitising Dictionaries
In order to guarantee open access and full searchability, research in historical lexicography and lexicology must follow the same directions as the evolution of the Internet, which has moved from hypertext-based resources to more significative services and products stored and disseminated through databases and, more recently, through knowledge bases. Against this background, this book addresses specific questions like What is involved in the digitisation of linguistic data? What annotation systems can give rise to datasets compatible with knowledge bases? What standards are needed to reach full searchability? What sources and methods can be used to gather the lemmas of a historical dictionary? What determines the obsolescence of lexicographical resources?

States of Language Policy
Why do some countries have one official language while others have two or more? Why do Indigenous languages have official status in some countries but not others? How do we theorize about continuity and change when we explain state language policy choices? Combining both the theory and practice of language regimes, this book explains how the relationship between language, politics, and policy can be studied. It brings together a globally representative team of scholars to look at the patterns of continuity and change, the concept of state traditions, and notions of historical legacies, critical juncture, path dependency, layering, conversion, and drift. It contains in-depth case studies from a multitude of countries including Algeria, Burkina Faso, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Norway, Peru, Ukraine, and Wales, and across both colonial and postcolonial contexts. Wide-ranging yet accessible, it is essential reading for practitioners and scholars engaged in the theory and practice of language policies.
Language Learning Beyond English
This Element addresses the following three questions: can Global English unequivocally be framed as a 'killer' language for learning LOTEs (languages other than English)? If so, under what premises? (Section 1); what are the rationales and justifications for learning LOTE in the age of Global English? (Section 2); and what are the pedagogical and policy implications for learning LOTE in the age of Global English? What can we learn from current (best and less good) practice? (Section 3). Attempts to engage learners in learning a variety of languages - rather than just English - often fail to achieve desired results, both in Anglophone and non-Anglophone contexts. Can English be blamed? What can policymakers and educators do to address the crisis? This Element proposes a new matrix of rationales for language learning, advocating an interconnected, socially embedded justification for language learning. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

What You Should First Know about English Sounds
With no doubt, the first feature common to all languages claims that "all languages have vowels and consonants", and the first components of languages are Phonetics and Phonology. Furthermore, it is widely known that, spoken language started long time before written one. So, it is of great relevance for a researcher to be aware of what the utterance is, and how it functions before he soaks his mind in whatever he would like to. Sounding better dwindles anxiety, suspiciousness, and maximizes self-esteem.

Computerizing the Novel
This book aims to investigate how new technologies have influenced the novels' content and form/format. For instance, William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer (1984) shows how the themes, registers and narrative elements of the novel were greatly connected to high-technologies. Yet, what was believed as science fiction turned out to be science facts; the contemporary individuals have become 'posthumans' because of the high-tech groundbreaking progresss. Mirroring the current human's lifestyle, Cosmopolis, a novel (2003) written by Don DeLillo is the second case study that underlines the extent to which new technologies have conlonized the novel genre. To further analyze the change in format, the way the fiction genre has been transferred to the digital readers and the shapes it has taken apart from the conventional printed style, afternoon, a story (1987) by Michael Joyce and interactive fiction epitomized in Zork I (1977) by Lebling et al. are other case studies. Eventually, this research explores how computerized novels, whether they are print or digitized texts, interactive or hypertext fictions, have brought the postmodern narrative theories into the electronic medium.
