Language Death David Crystal

David Crystal “Language Death"

Cambridge University Press | 2000-06-26  | 208 pages | PDF | 1,2 Mb

The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern, not only among linguists and anthropologists but among all concerned with issues of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized culture. By some counts, only 600 of the 6000 or so languages in the world are safe from the threat of extinction. A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the fundamental question, Why is language death so important?, reviews the reasons for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact. The book contains not only intelligent argument, but moving descriptions of the decline and demise of particular languages, and practical advice for anyone interested in pursuing the subject further.

Write Rite Right: (An imperative sentence)

Write Rite Right: (An imperative sentence)
iUniverse, Inc.(2005-10-26) | 112 Pages | 6.6 MB PDF

Why a compendium of homonyms, homophones, and frequently misapplied words?

To paraphrase Mr. Twain:

Sometimes, the difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between going down in history and going down in flames.

Who can benefit from keeping this book within easy reach?

Everyone who writes for others to read! When you write, for whatever reason, your written words represent you to clients, superiors, peers, employees, and, perhaps, the world at large. What you write and how you write it represents you in the minds of your readers. You shouldn't be satisfied to appear in public in linguistic disarray any more than you would in sartorial slovenliness.
