Abstract:
Studies in Slang and Slogans, with contributions from Nigeria, America,
France, Poland and Indonesia, addresses the nature, form and function of
the slangy items and slogans engaged in politics, computer-mediated
communication, sports, the military, students' informal interactions,
transportation, advertising and general human interactions. The book
centrally examines how human social-political experiences and encounters
with digital technology constrain the choice of slang and slogans favoured
in the focused domains, the varieties of these slang and slogans, and the
impact of these on human socio-cognitive processes in society. Studies in
Slang and Slogans, therefore, should be of great interest to general
readers, scholars from diverse areas of academic concerns, politicians,
internet users, students, government officials and advertisers.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
