Cambridge Approaches to Language Contact: The Sociolinguistics of Globalization (9780521710237)



Human language has changed in the age of globalization: no longer tied to stable and resident communities, it moves across the globe, and it changes in the process. The world has become a complex 'web' of villages, towns, neighbourhoods and settlements connected by material and symbolic ties in often unpredictable ways. This phenomenon requires us to revise our understanding of linguistic communication. In The Sociolinguistics of Globalization Jan Blommaert constructs a theory of changing language in a changing society, reconsidering locality, repertoires, competence, history and sociolinguistic inequality.

John Martin of Lower Howard's Creek, Clark County, Kentucky (9781329138582)

Gambar
John Martin was a pioneer of Clark County, Kentucky, where he lived on Lower Howard's Creek. John had been a blacksmith in Goochland County, Virginia, where he married Rachel Pace. He owned a small farm there before moving to Ballenger Creek in what is now Fluvanna County. John and Rachel were the parents of thirteen children. In the late 1780s, the parents and children moved to Kentucky. John settled on a hillside farm in an area then known as the Bush Settlement.

Osvícení v temnotě (9788088243106)

Antologie 12 povídek sestavená k 20. výročí založení projektu Lilja's Library, největší internetové stránky věnované zpravodajství o životě a díle Stephena Kinga. Švédský publicista Hans-Ake Lilja zde po několika desítkách let od prvního vydání uvádí raritní Kingovu povídku Modrý kompresor, která se neobjevila v žádné sbírce tohoto slavného autora, a k ní přidává pestrou směsici vesměs temně laděných povídek od autorů, jako jsou Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Stewart O'Nan nebo Jack Ketchum (zde ve spolupráci s P. D. Cacekovou). Výbor je korunován zbrusu novou novelou Johna Ajvida Lindqvista. Vyjma klasického mrazivého příběhu Zrádné srdce z pera E. A. Poea mají všechny povídky v této knize českou premiéru.
