Book Description
The SALRM 2011 provides a rich source of information on a range of language-related subjects. A prominent issue remains the changing of street and place names, including the Pretoria/Tshwane and Louis Trichardt/Makhado sagas. Language in education remains a thorny issue; as medium of instruction at school and tertiary level, and the proposal that passing an African language should be a requirement in order to obtain a tertiary degree in South Africa. In terms of language legislation, the draft version of the National Language Act was proposed. The language of record in courts also received attention in the media.

Afrikaans Linguistics
Author: WAM Carstens
Publisher: African Sun Media
ISBN: 1991260520
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 734
Book Description
Offering a contemporary exploration of the multifaceted landscape of Afrikaans linguistics, Afrikaans Linguistics: Contemporary Perspectives marks a seminal contribution to the field. This volume, for the first time, presents accessible insights into diverse linguistics subdisciplines, inviting international scholars to familiarise themselves with Afrikaans language studies. Throughout much of the late 19th and 20th centuries, Afrikaans scholars predominantly communicated in Afrikaans, resulting in a significant gap in the dissemination of knowledge about the language. The chapters in this book, written by prominent South Africans, as well as international scholars working in the field of Afrikaans, serve as a pivotal bridge, by providing essential historical context while also paying attention to the development of Afrikaans linguistics during the 20th century. The primary focus remains on illuminating 21st century research trajectories, offering a comprehensive snapshot of contemporary scholarship in Afrikaans linguistics.

Gewone Taal

ISBN: 1928480616
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Gewone Taal: ‘n Oorsig is ‘n boek oor hoe skrywers skryf en lesers lees. Die inhoud van die boek betrek skryf- en leesprobleme op woord-, sins- en teksvlak. Die boek fokus merendeels, maar nie uitsluitlik nie, op regstekste omdat hierdie tekstipes vir ontoeganklikheid en ondeursigtigheid vir nie spesialislesers berug is. Een groot bydrae is die kontrolelys wat leiding aan skrywers bied oor watter konstruksies hulle liefs moet vermy en watter konstruksies hulle met groot nut kan gebruik. Hierbenewens word heelwat praktiese toepassingsvoorbeelde voorsien, wat demonstreer hoe komplekse konstruksies op verskillende teksvlakke herskryf kan word om leesbegrip te verhoog. Hoewel die boek ‘n sterk teoretiese begronding het, gaan dit ook om die toepassing daarvan in die praktyk, met die uiteindelike doel om gewone mense te bemagtig en sodoende hulle basiese reg op toegang tot inligting te verwesenlik.

Publishing Research in English as an Additional Language
Author: Margaret Cargill
Publisher: University of Adelaide Press
ISBN: 1925261522
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Many universities worldwide now require established and novice scholars, as well as PhD students, to publish in English in international journals. This growing trend gives rise to multiple interrelated questions, which this volume seeks to address through the perspectives of a group of researchers and practitioners who met in Coimbra, Portugal in 2015 for the PRISEAL and MET conferences. The volume offers truly global coverage, with chapters focusing on vastly different geo-social areas, and disciplines from the humanities to the hard sciences. It will be of interest to applied linguists, particularly those working in the area of English for Research Publication Purposes, and to language professionals working in research writing support, research supervision and academic publishing, as well as to journal editors and managers.

The Weakness of God
Author: John D. Caputo
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253013518
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The author of What Would Jesus Deconstruct? makes “a bold attempt to reconfigure the terms of debate around the topic of divine omnipotence” (Choice). Applying an ever more radical hermeneutics—including Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology, Derridian deconstruction, and feminism—John D. Caputo breaks down the name of God in this irrepressible book. Instead of looking at God as merely a name, Caputo views it as an event, or what the name conjures or promises in the future. For Caputo, the event exposes God as weak, unstable, and barely functional. While this view of God flies in the face of most religions and philosophies, it also puts up a serious challenge to fundamental tenets of theology and ontology. Along the way, Caputo’s readings of the New Testament, especially of Paul’s view of the Kingdom of God, help to support the “weak force” theory. This penetrating work cuts to the core of issues and questions—What is the nature of God? What is the nature of being? What is the relationship between God and being? What is the meaning of forgiveness, faith, piety, or transcendence?—that define the terrain of contemporary philosophy of religion. “Caputo comes out of the closet as a theologian in this work.” —Catherine Keller, Drew University “Caputo has a gift for explaining Continental philosophy’s jargon succinctly and accurately, and despite technical and foreign terms, this book will engage upper-level undergraduates. Includes scriptural and general indexes . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice

Revising and Editing for Translators
Author: Brian Mossop
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317662539
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Revising and Editing for Translators provides guidance and learning materials for translation students learning to edit texts written by others, and professional translators wishing to improve their self-revision ability or learning to revise the work of others. Editing is understood as making corrections and improvements to texts, with particular attention to tailoring them to the given readership. Revising is this same task applied to draft translations. The linguistic work of editors and revisers is related to the professional situations in which they work. Mossop offers in-depth coverage of a wide range of topics, including copyediting, style editing, structural editing, checking for consistency, revising procedures and principles, and translation quality assessment. This third edition provides extended coverage of computer aids for revisers, and of the different degrees of revision suited to different texts. The inclusion of suggested activities and exercises, numerous real-world examples, a proposed grading scheme for editing assignments, and a reference glossary make this an indispensable coursebook for professional translation programmes.

Constructions of Intersubjectivity
Author: Arie Verhagen
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199273847
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Constructions of Intersubjectivity shows that the meaning of grammatical constructions often has more to do with the human cognitive capacity for taking other peoples' points of view than with describing the world. Treating pragmatics, semantics, and syntax in parallel and integrating insights from linguistics, psychology, and animal communication, Arie Verhagen develops a new understanding of linguistic communication. In doing so he shows the continuity between languageand animal communication and reveals the nature of human linguistic specialization.Professor Verhagen uses Dutch and English data from a wide variety of sources and considers the contributions of grammar to the coherence of discourse. He argues that important problems in semantics and syntax may be resolved if language is understood as an instrument for exerting influence and coordinating different perspectives. The grammatical phenomena he discusses include negative expressions, the let alone construction, complementation constructions, and discourse connectives.This powerfully argued and original explanation of the nature and operation of communication will interest a wide range of scholars and advanced students in linguistics, cognitive science, and human evolution.
