Title:  Language and Globalization ^TOP Author:    Norman Fairclough Call No:  P107 F35  "Language and Globalization explores the effects of language in the processes of globalization.  Norman Fairclough adopts the approach of combining critical discourse analysis with cultural political economy to develop a new theory of the relationship between discourse and other dimensions of globalization.  Using examples from a variety of countries such as the USA, Britain, Romania, Hungary and Thailand, Language and Globalization shows how the analysis of texts can be coherently integrated within political economic analysis.  Fairclough incorporates topical issues such as the war on terror and the impact of the media on globalization into his discussion. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language and politics and (critical) discourse analysis."

Title:  An Introduction to Language and Linguistics ^TOP Editors:   Ralph Fasold and Jeff Connor-Linton Call No:  P121 I58  "This is the only genuinely introductory linguistics textbook in which each chapter is written by an expert who teaches courses on that topic, ensuring balanced and uniformly excellent coverage of the full range of modern linguistics.  Assuming no prior knowledge, the text offers a clear introduction to the traditional topics of structural linguistics (theories of sound, form, meaning, and language change), and in addition provides full coverage of contextual linguistics, including separate chapters on discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language.  There are also up-to-date separate chapters on language and the brain, computational linguistics, writing, child language acquisition, and second-language learning.  The breadth of the textbook makes it ideal for introductory courses on language and linguistics offered by departments of English, sociology, anthropology, and communications, as well as by linguistics departments. Accessibly written, assuming no previous knowledge of linguistics Each chapter is written by an expert and experienced teacher on the topic Each chapter contains exercises, chapter preview, goals, summary, suggestions for further reading, and lists of key terms A comprehensive glossary provides clear definitions of each concept introduced On-line resources include solutions to exercises, sound files, further reading, additional exercises, links, and electronic versions of key figures."

Title:  Language Change ^TOP Author:    Adrian Beard Call No:  P142 B43  "Language Change: examines the way external factors have influenced and are influencing language change focuses on how changing social contexts are reflected in language use looks at how language change operates within different genres, such as problem pages, sports reports and recipes provides lively examples from interpersonal communication, including letters, emails, postcards and text messages considers attitudes towards language change includes a unit which describes various technical aspects of language change features a full index of terms."

Title:  Unlocking Self-Expression Through NLP : Integrated Skills Activities ^TOP Authors: Judith Baker, Mario Rinvolucri Call No:  PE1128 A2B167  "This book starts from the perspective of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and provides well over a hundred easy-to-use activities, each designed to create the wish and need in students to express themselves in English. The benefits to students include: a real desire to talk and write an improved relationship with the target language a growing sense of ownership of the target language a growth in psychological self-awareness a deepening awareness of fellow students and a growth of respect for them The activities are designed to make students forget they are in a language classroom.  Teachers can feel confident that the 'speaking' or 'writing' parts of the lesson will actually work, owing to students' real desire to express themselves. Teachers do not require an expert knowledge of NLP practice to use this book, but those interested in knowing more are offered a glossary of terms and a critical bibliography."
