Sociolinguistics & Anthropological Linguistics
BEYOND EBONICS: Linguistic Pride and Racial Prejudice
John Baugh, Stanford University
The media frenzy surrounding the 1996 resolution by the Oakland School
Board brought public attention to the term "Ebonics", however the idea
remains a mystery to most. John Baugh, a well-known African-American
linguist and education expert, offers an accessible explanation of the
origins of the term, the linguistic reality behind the hype, and the
politics behind the outcry on both sides of the debate. Using a
non-technical, first-person style, and bringing in many of his own
personal experiences, Baugh debunks many commonly-held notions about
the way African-Americans speak English, and the result is a nuanced
and balanced portrait of a fraught subject. This volume should appeal
to students and scholars in anthropology, linguistics, education,
urban studies, and African-American studies

LANGUAGE, EDUCATION, AND CULTURE
Tariq Rahman, Quaid-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan
Pakistan has had many conflicts involving language. The various
language movements have sometimes led to rioting and always to
assertions of ethnic identity. This book presents a comprehensive
analysis, supported by statistical evidence, of the intimate linkages
between language, politics, and ethnicity in Pakistan.

LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY
Daniel Nettle, Merton College, Oxford
There are some 6,500 different languages in the world. This book
investigates why diversity arose, how it relates to the origins and
evolution of language and culture, and whether the uneven distribution
of human languages may be linked with patterns of human geography and
history. Daniel Nettle draws on work in anthropology, linguistics,
geography, archeology, and evolutionary science to explain linguistic
diversity.

LANGUAGE IN TIME: The Rhythm and Tempo of Spoken Interaction
Peter Auer, University of Hamburg, Germany, Elizabeth Couper-Kühlen,
University of Konstanz, Germany, and Frank Müller, University of
Mannhaim, Germany
(Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics)
The authors here promote the reintroduction of temporality into the
description and analysis of spoken interaction. They argue that spoken
words are, in fact, temporal objects and that unless linguists
consider how they are delivered within the context of time, they will
not capture the full meaning of situated language use. Their approach
is rigorously empirical, with analyses of English, German, and Italian
rhythm, all grounded in sequences of actual talk-in-interaction.

REINVENTING IDENTITIES: The Gendered Self in Discourse
Edited by Mary Bucholtz, Texas A&M University, A. C. Liang, and Laurel
A. Sutton
(Studies in Language and Gender)
Talk is crucial to the way our identities are constructed, altered,
and defended. Feminist scholars in particular have only begun to
investigate how deeply language reflects and shapes who we think we
are. This volume of previously unpublished essays, the first in the
new series Studies in Language and Gender, advances that effort by
bringing together leading feminist scholars in the area of language
and gender, including Deborah Tannen, Jennifer Coates, and Marcyliena
Morgan, as well as rising younger scholars. Topics explored include
African-American drag queens, gender and class on the shopping
channel, and talk in the workplace.

INTERPRETING AS A DISCOURSE PROCESS
Cynthia B. Roy
(Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics)
This book studies interpreting between languages as a discourse
process and as about managing communication between two people who do
not speak a common language. Roy examines the turn exchanges of a
face-to-face interpreted event in order to offer a definition of
interpreted events, describe the process of taking turns with an
interpreter, and account for the role of the interpreter in terms of
the performance in interaction.
