"Antwaneisha", "Brionshay" and "Tayvion"--for some, pronouncing these names are a daunting task, and for others, it's a symbol of cultural identity. Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book defines names commonly referred to as "Ghetto", "Ratchet" and "Hood", in American society by dissecting them. The lesson that the book teaches is that the majority of "Black Names" aren't African, but are unique names that come from combinations of two or more names, names constructed with common prefixes and suffixes, and much more. In many cases, names are "conjugated" with a formula that can be applied to names such as "DaNiqua", "LaNisha", and "Tayshaun".
The book also contains research on the impact Black names can have on getting a job interview. In addition, the book has a glossary of "common" American names from which Black names are derived.
Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book is the first installment in what may be an ongoing investigation into unique naming conventions used by different ethnic groups in America. As well as a second edition to this book from the suggestions received by readers to our author.

Описание: What makes a word bad? On the one hand, slurs and other derogatory language appear to be meaningful - different slurs can seem to refer to different groups, for example. On the other hand, slurs can seem to be just an arbitrary tool for insulting or enabling harm. How is the meaning of a slur related to its practical uses?

Описание: We all know that speech can be harmful. But how? Mary Kate McGowan argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. She investigates such harms as oppression, subordination, and discrimination in such forms of speech as sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers, and micro-aggressions.

Описание: Kathrin Koslicki presents a contemporary defence of the Aristotelian doctrine of hylomorphism, according to which there is more to an object than its material parts. She argues that in addition, each object also contains an organizational principle, a form, which accounts for its structure, identity, and unity.
Описание: Everyday Words and the Character of Prose in Nineteenth-Century Britain is an innovative study of the stylistic tics of canonical novelists including Austen, Dickens, Trollope, Thackeray and Eliot. Jonathan Farina shows how ordinary locutions such as `a decided turn`, `as if` and `that sort of thing` condense nineteenth-century manners, aesthetics and assumptions about what counts as knowledge.

Описание: Doing Worlds with Words throws light on the problem of meaning as the meeting point of linguistics, logic and philosophy, and critically assesses the possibilities and limitations of elucidating the nature of meaning by means of formal logic, model theory and model-theoretical semantics.

Описание:
This volume offers a valuable overview of recent research into the semantic aspects of complex words through different theoretical frameworks. Contributions by experts in the field, both morphologists and psycholinguists, identify crucial areas of research, present alternative and complementary approaches to their examination from the current level of knowledge, and indicate perspectives of research into the semantics of complex words by raising important questions that need to be investigated in order to get a more comprehensive picture of the field.
Recent decades have seen both extensive and intensive development of various theories of word-formation, however, the semantic aspects of complex words have, with a few notable exceptions, been rather neglected. This volume fills that gap by offering articles written by leading experts in the field from various theoretical backgrounds.

Описание:
This book offers a systematic framework for thinking about the relationship between language and technology and an argument for interweaving thinking about technology with thinking about language. The main claim of philosophy of technology-that technologies are not mere tools and artefacts not mere things, but crucially and significantly shape what we perceive, do, and are-is re-thought in a way that accounts for the role of language in human technological experiences and practices. Engaging with work by Wittgenstein, Heidegger, McLuhan, Searle, Ihde, Latour, Ricoeur, and many others, the author critically responds to, and constructs a synthesis of, three "extreme," idealtype, untenable positions: (1) only humans speak and neither language nor technologies speak, (2) only language speaks and neither humans nor technologies speak, and (3) only technology speaks and neither humans nor language speak. The construction of this synthesis goes hand in hand with a narrative about subjects and objects that become entangled and constitute one another. Using Words and Things thus draws in central discussions from other subdisciplines in philosophy, such as philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics, to offer an original theory of the relationship between language and (philosophy of) technology centered on use, performance, and narrative, and taking a transcendental turn.

Описание:
Descriptive grammars analyse the systematic elements of language, and in general this aim for systematicity leads authors to focus on categorical rules of syntax, morphology and phonology. This stands in apparent contrast to variationist linguistic research, where it has been shown that speakers produce variable patterns on every level of language. However, a key finding of variationism is that the distribution of variables is not random, but systematic: quantitative analysis of variables' conditioning factors provides insight into the relationships between different parts of the language. Therefore variationism need not stand in opposition to the description of grammatical systems, but rather should be complementary to it, especially in those parts of the system that have the most diffuse encoding variants.
Murrinhpatha grammar has at its core a polysynthetic verb with a unique structure. It has evolved from a phrasl verb combining inflecting light verbs with uninflecting coverbs, and some of the complex verbs resulting from this fusion retain a bipartite stem structure, while others have coalesced more fully into single stems with conjugation classes. Various tense and number suffixes can be added with flexible morphotactic sequencing, and varying degrees of prosodic binding. As a result word boundaries for the Murrinhpatha verb cannot be neatly drawn, and an accurate characterisation does not presume to neatly categorise formatives as words, affixes or clitics. The verb is best understood as the interaction of a series of gradient variables.
The model of language deployed in this book draws most heavily on exemplar theory, in which linguistic structures coalesce by amassing clusters of speech tokens in production and perception, with patterns emerging from similarities among these exemplars. Exemplar models are better attuned to variation, gradient effects and dynamic structure than generative models based on abstract symbols. Word formation has thus far only rarely been integrated into the exemplar approach, but this book will provide fresh material to further our view of morphology as a dynamic system.
