The English Language in Canada

Book Description
The English Language in Canada examines the current status, history and principal features of Canadian English, focusing on the 'standard' variety heard across the country today. The discussion of the status of Canadian English considers the number and distribution of its speakers, its relation to French and other Canadian languages and to American English, its status as the expressive medium of English Canadian culture and its treatment in previous research. The review of its history concentrates on the historical roots and patterns of English-speaking settlement that established Canadian English and influenced its character in each region of Canada. The analysis of its principal features compares the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar of Canadian English to standard British and American English. Subsequent chapters examine variation and change in the vocabulary and pronunciation of Canadian English, while a final chapter briefly considers the future of Canadian English.

Translation Effects
Author: Kathy Mezei
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773590595
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Much of Canadian cultural life is sustained and enriched by translation. Translation Effects moves beyond restrictive notions of official translation in Canada, analyzing its activities and effects on the streets, in movie theatres, on stages, in hospitals, in courtrooms, in literature, in politics, and across café tables. The first comprehensive study of the intersection of translation and culture, Translation Effects offers an original picture of translation practices across many languages and through several decades of Canadian life. The book presents detailed case studies of specific events and examines the reverberation and spread of their effects. Through these imaginative, at times unusual, investigations, the contributors unveil the simultaneous invisibility and omnipresence of translation and present a cross-cut of Canadian translation moments. Addressing the period from the 1950s to the present and including a wide scope of examples from medical interpreting to film dubbing, the essays in this book create a panoramic view of the creation of modern culture in Canada. Contributors include Piere Anctil (University of Ottawa), Hélène Buzelin (Université de Montréal), Alessandra Capperdoni (Simon Fraser University), Philippe Cardinal, Andrew Clifford (York University), Beverley Curran, Renée Desjardins (University of Ottawa), Ray Ellenwood, David Gaertner, Chantal Gagnon (Université de Montréal), Patricia Godbout, Hugh Hazelton, Jane Koustas (Brock University), Louise Ladouceur (Université de l'Albera, Gillian Lane-Mercier (McGill University), George Lang, Rebecca Margolis, Sophie McCall (Simon Fraser University), Julie Dolmaya McDonough, Denise Merkle (Université de Moncton), Kathy Mezei, Sorouja Moll, Brian Mossop, Daisy Neijmann, Glen Nichols (Mount Allison University), Joseph Pivato, Gregory Reid, Robert Schwartzwald, Sherry Simon, Luise von Flotow (University of Ottawa), and Christine York.

The Big Fight (Gallipoli to the Somme)
Author: David Fallon
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
"The Big Fight" is a war memoir by David Fallon. He was of Irish ancestry but a British soldier when WWI happened. He was first sent to Sydney to assist with enlistment, but he was flustered to enroll in the front lines, becoming an Anzac and thus a part of the catastrophic landing at Gallipoli (1915). As he describes it, the landing is like a scene from Saving Private Ryan, with Fallon's boat shelled, the men shot in the water or tangled up in a barbed-wire trap, the dead rapidly piling up on the beach, and the living bewildered and exhausted, attacked and pounded by enemy fire. As if witnessing the heaviest fighting at Gallipoli and afterward the Somme wasn't enough...
