ELF and Applied Linguistics: Reconsidering Applied Linguistics Research from ELF Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Applied Linguistics)
by Kumiko MurataWith help from a global cast of scholars, Kumiko Murata explores the remodelling of the discipline of applied linguistics, which traditionally regarded Anglophone native-speaker English as the standard for English as a lingua franca (ELF). This edited volume probes the dichotomy between the current focus of applied linguistic research and a drastically changed English use in a globalised world. This division is approached from diverse perspectives and with the overarching understanding of ELF as an indispensable area of applied linguistics research. The volume includes theoretical backgrounds to English as a lingua franca, the nature of ELF interactions, language policy and practice from an ELF perspective, and the relationship between multilingualism and ELF. A resourceful book not only to ELF researchers but also applied linguists in general, as well as policy makers, administrators, practicing teachers, and university students from diverse linguacultural backgrounds.

ELZN y la renconquista de la autonomía indígena
by John GiblerUna voz se alzó aquel 1° de enero de 1994: era el llamado de justicia de un pueblo oprimido desde hace siglos. Una voz se alzó aquel 1° de enero de 1994: era el llamado de justicia de un pueblo oprimido desde hace siglos. El Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) se rebeló contra el "primer mundo" y contra la historia; tomó "el hambre de los indígenas, el aura de carencia y las esgrimió como arma". A casi veinte años del levantamiento, el zapatismo aún busca reconquistar la autonomía de los pueblos indígenas a partir de una ideología anticolonialista, antinacionalista y anticapitalista: "Autonomía no significa aislamiento; significa sustentabilidad sin imposiciones externas: soberanía social, política y cultural". El camino no ha sido fácil, pues el movimiento se ha enfrentado a grupos paramilitares y otras fuerzas armadas impuestas por el opresivo aparato de Estado. Esta crónica es el resultado de muchos años de convivencia del periodista John Gibler con la comunidad zapatista. Con una mirada incisiva aborda el incansable espíritu de rebelión y resistencia frente al poder gubernamental en México.
EMI Classroom Communication: A Corpus-Based Approach (Routledge Focus on English-Medium Instruction in Higher Education)
by Joyce Kling Slobodanka Dimova Branka Drljača MargićExamining English medium instruction (EMI) through a corpus-based approach, this volume offers a critical inquiry into the use of different linguistic and pedagogical strategies in the EMI classroom. It explores aspects of content lecturers’ language use, pedagogy, and intercultural communicative competence by drawing on the findings obtained from EMI lecture corpus analysis and post-observation interviews with EMI lecturers from five universities in Croatia, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. The book also offers insights into lecturers’ engagement with students in English, which is their second language, as well as their perception of differences between EMI and first-language-medium instruction (L1MI). Finally, the volume provides readers with corpus-based analysis of teachers’ oral ability profiles, as a basis for the identification of communicational challenges and provision of language support. The book will be of interest to scholars interested in EMI in higher education, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics and TESOL programs. It will also be relevant to teachers who are involved in EMI provision, teacher trainers who design support programs for EMI teachers, and policymakers who establish language-in-education policies for EMI.

EU-Journalismus: Ein Handbuch für Theorie und Praxis. Mit Beiträgen von EU-Korrespondent:innen (Journalistische Praxis)
by Michael GrytzDie EU ist als Organisation in der Welt einzigartig. Sie ist kein Staat, in dem eine demokratisch legitimierte Regierung mit ihren Mehrheiten Politik und Geschicke einer Gesellschaft bestimmt. Die EU ist ein Bund aus Staaten, die sich vertraglich aneinandergebunden haben, mit vielen verschiedenen Regierungen, kulturell und historisch höchst unterschiedlich geprägt. Der Autor beschreibt einen EU-Journalismus, der Verständnis für ein Aushandeln von Lösungen innerhalb der EU weckt und dabei die Unterschiedlichkeit der Interessen und Herkunft ihrer Mitgliedsstaaten berücksichtigt Zudem beleuchtet das Buch Fragen, wie etwa mit EU-Journalismus neue Zielgruppen erreicht werden. Bedeutet EU-Journalismus lediglich die Fortsetzung von innenpolitischer Berichterstattung? Oder kann es auch einen echten europäischen Journalismus geben? Das Handbuch beschreibt politische Prozesse und gibt praktische Hinweise und Tipps aus der Erfahrung eines langjährigen EU-Korrespondenten. Zudem liefert das Buch Erkenntnisse namhafter deutscher und internationaler Korrespondent:innen. Der Autor erklärt den "Arbeitsplatz Brüssel" und gibt Einblicke für Medienschaffende und Journalist:innen, aber auch für Bürger:innen, für Studierende, Newcomer:innen unter den Brüsseler Korrespondent:innen und auch sonst an der Vermittlung von EU-Prozessen Interessierten.

Each Hour Redeem: Time and Justice in African American Literature
by Daylanne K. EnglishEach Hour Redeem advances a major reinterpretation of African American literature from the late eighteenth century to the present by demonstrating how its authors are centrally concerned with racially different experiences of time. Daylanne K. English argues that, from Phillis Wheatley to Suzan-Lori Parks, African American writers have depicted distinctive forms of temporality to challenge racial injustices supported by dominant ideas of time. The first book to explore the representation of time throughout the African American literary canon, Each Hour Redeem illuminates how the pervasive and potent tropes of timekeeping provide the basis for an overarching new understanding of the tradition.Combing literary, historical, legal, and philosophical approaches, Each Hour Redeem examines a wide range of genres, including poetry, fiction, drama, slave narratives, and other forms of nonfiction. English shows that much of African American literature is characterized by &“strategic anachronism,&” the use of prior literary forms to investigate contemporary political realities, as seen in Walter Mosley&’s recent turn to hard-boiled detective fiction. By contrast, &“strategic presentism&” is exemplified in the Black Arts Movement and the Harlem Renaissance and their investment in contemporary political potentialities, for example, in Langston Hughes and Amiri Baraka&’s adaptation of the jazz of their eras for poetic form and content. Overall, the book effectively demonstrates how African American writers have employed multiple and complex conceptions of time not only to trace racial injustice but also to help construct a powerful literary tradition across the centuries.

Early Academic Periodical Translation: English't out of the French, 1665-1700
by David BanksThis book looks at the translations which appeared in the Philosophical Transactions and whose source texts had appeared in the Journal des Sçavans during the period 1665 to 1700. The theoretical background of the study is Systemic Functional Linguistics. The book provides linguistic analyses of both translations and source texts, considering in particular process types, the nature of themes, modality and nominalization of processes. The periods looked at are defined in terms of the editors of the respective journals. Differences in the linguistic features of the translations and source texts are explained in terms of the historical context. Since these were the first two academic periodicals, the texts studied here were the first attempts at translating academic articles, and thus have particular significance.
Early African American Print Culture
by Lara Langer Cohen Jordan Alexander SteinThe eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw both the consolidation of American print culture and the establishment of an African American literary tradition, yet the two are too rarely considered in tandem. In this landmark volume, a stellar group of established and emerging scholars ranges over periods, locations, and media to explore African Americans' diverse contributions to early American print culture, both on the page and off.The book's seventeen chapters consider domestic novels and gallows narratives, Francophone poetry and engravings of Liberia, transatlantic lyrics and San Francisco newspapers. Together, they consider how close attention to the archive can expand the study of African American literature well beyond matters of authorship to include issues of editing, illustration, circulation, and reading--and how this expansion can enrich and transform the study of print culture more generally.Published in cooperation with the Library Company of Philadelphia.

Early Anthropocene Literature in Britain, 1750–1884 (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment)
by Seth T. RenoThis book questions when exactly the Anthropocene began, uncovering an “early Anthropocene” in the literature, art, and science of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain. In chapters organized around the classical elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, Seth Reno shows how literary writers of the Industrial Era borrowed from scientists to capture the changes they witnessed to weather, climate, and other systems. Poets linked the hellish flames of industrial furnaces to the magnificent, geophysical force of volcanic explosions. Novelists and painters depicted cloud formations and polluted urban atmospheres as part of the emerging discipline of climate science. In so doing, the subjects of Reno’s study—some famous, some more obscure—gave form to a growing sense of humans as geophysical agents, capable of reshaping Earth itself. Situated at the interaction of literary studies, environmental studies, and science studies, Early Anthropocene Literature in Britain tells the story of how writers heralded, and wrestled with, Britain’s role in sparking the now-familiar “epoch of humans.”
Early Auden, Later Auden: A Critical Biography
by Edward MendelsonPresented in one volume for the very first time, and updated with new archival discoveries, Early Auden, Later Auden reintroduces Edward Mendelson's acclaimed, two-part biography of W. H. Auden (1907–73), one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. This book offers a detailed history and interpretation of Auden’s oeuvre, spanning the duration of his career from juvenilia to his final works in poetry as well as theatre, film, radio, opera, essays, and lectures. Early Auden, Later Auden follows the evolution of the poet’s thought, offering a comparison of Auden’s views at various junctures over a lifetime. With penetrating insight, Mendelson examines Auden’s early ideas, methods, and personal transitions as reflected in poems, manuscripts, and private papers. The book then links changes in Auden’s intellectual, emotional, and religious experience with his shifting public role—showing the depth of his personal struggles with self and with fame, and the means by which these internal conflicts were reflected in his art in later years. Featuring a new preface by the author, Early Auden, Later Auden is an engaging and timeless work that demonstrates Auden’s remarkable range and complexity, paying homage to his enduring legacy.
