LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND CULTURE

This text uses an interdisciplinary methodology to connect three separate and vast disciplines. Students will explore high and low culture, linguistic determinism, cultural and moral relativism, and theories of translation. They will consider The Enlightenment and the modern reaction to it, Post-Modernism.

BARE BACKBONES

This text gives readers fundamental information about the four sub-fields of anthropology: physical or biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and cultural anthropology. The material clearly and concisely defines concepts typically covered in separate classes.

Extensively class-tested, this book develops readers’ awareness of and sensitivity to the Deaf community in America. The book is an excellent addition to courses in American Sign Language, Deaf history and culture, and communication sciences and disorders.

HIGHLIGHTED BACKLIST

HIGHLIGHTED CORE TITLES

This book examines cognitive development and affect in language acquisition, pre-grammatical and grammatical children, speech and hearing mechanisms, phonology, pragmatics, and literacy. Students will gain historical perspective, learn how communication acquisition is more general than actual language acquisition, and enhance their understanding of constructionism, relevance theory, usage theory, and dynamic systems theory.

This text is a response to the recent paradigm shift in the field of language acquisition. It examines substantive differences between pre-grammatical and grammatical children, the limitations of normative tests, and intervention principles for various clinical populations. The book is ideally suited to classes in language acquisition, language intervention, and language assessment.

MINIMUM OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR VOLUME I

The first of two volumes, this book provides comprehensive exploration of Feature Theory Grammar, which breaks down the components of traditional “parts-of-speech” words, allowing for fine-grained analysis. The book presents the kind of theoretical syntax that is highly regarded among Chomskyan linguists.

MINIMUM OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR VOLUME II

The second volume is a handbook that gives students with an introductory background in linguistics the opportunity for further analysis and consideration of the finer points of specific linguistic theory. Special attention is given to the articulation of tree structures and analyses. The book includes exercises, giving students the opportunity to apply the concepts discussed.

HIGHLIGHTED CORE TITLES

Ebonics Is Good is a humble response to the clarion call by Mwalimu Carter G. Woodson, Mwalimu Frantz Fanon, and Mwalimu Malcolm X, among others, to address our African language question. As all of these great Africans and others have shown throughout history, it behooves us to counter the assumption of the ill-informed that Ebonics is bad by demonstrating that it is a GOOD language and worthy of respect.

This book entails a pragmatic analysis of the African National Anthem, “Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika,” within a linguistic framework. By delineating the pragmatic features of the anthem, its philosophical symbolic meanings are teased out. This is important because symbols are critical in promoting social integration, fostering legitimacy, inducing loyalty, gaining compliance, and providing citizens with security and hope.

The -tion and -ism phenomena studied in this book comprise a closed set within which it is easier to understand how and why new insights emerged, and what was overlooked.
