DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Internet is transforming learning and commerce and accelerating the evolution of the Information Age into the Knowledge Era. Web pages and sites, intranets, extranets, and hypertext come together in cyberspace to form one huge Global Network -- the realization of Marshall McLuhan's Global Village. How we respond to the challenges and opportunities that are presented by this burgeoning technology will have a huge impact on whether we will be successful in our future learning and work endeavors. In his provocative new book, Robert Logan submits that the Internet is more than just a technological toy; rather, it constitutes a new link in the linguistic chain, joining speech, writing, mathematics, science, and computing. Characterized by a unique semantics and syntax, the Net forms another distinct step in the evolution of human communication -- the sixth language.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book is a sociolinguistic case study of District Six, an inner-city neighbourhood in Cape Town characterized by language mixing and switching of English and Afrikaans. Its early inhabitants included indigenous people, freed slaves of African and Asian origin, and immigrants from Europe andelsewhere. The ravages of apartheid affected the residents' attitudes towards their languages in various ways, which are described. The book examines the norms and practices regarding language choice for various functions and domains in the only surviving sector of District Six. It also containsdetailed analyses of extended bilingual conversations showing a range of social, linguistic and discourse features. Of particular interest is the paradoxical polarization and blending of the two languages. They are strongly polarized symbolically and functionally, yet they are also habituallyblended in vernacular speech through lexical borrowing and intrasentential language switching. This paradox has interesting implications for the construction of individual, community and language identity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1991. Debates about the state and status of the English language are rarely debates about language alone. Closely linked to the question, what is proper English? is another, more significant social question: who are the proper English? The texts in this book have been selected to illustrate the process by which particular forms of English usage are erected and validated as correct and standard. At the same time, the texts demonstrate how a certain group of people, and certain sets of cultural practices are privileged as correct, standard and central. Covering a period of three hundred years, these writers, who include Locke, Swift, Webster, James, Newbolt and Marenbon, wrestle with questions of language change and decay, correct and incorrect usage, what to prescribe and proscribe. Reread in the light of recent debates about cultural identity - how is it constructed and maintained? what are its effects? - these texts clearly demonstrate the formative roles of race, class and gender in the construction of proper ‘Englishness' . Tony Crowley's introductory material breaks new ground in rescuing these texts from the academic backwater of the 'history of the language' and in reasserting the central role of language in history.
