The Bilingual Mind: And What it Tells Us about Language and Thought

Standard English has evolved and developed in many ways over the past hundred years. From pronunciation to vocabulary to grammar, this concise survey clearly documents the recent history of Standard English. Drawing on large amounts of authentic corpus data, it shows how we can track ongoing changes to the language, and demonstrates each of the major developments that have taken place. As well as taking insights from a vast body of literature, Christian Mair presents the results of his own cutting-edge research, revealing some important changes which have not been previously documented. He concludes by exploring how social and cultural factors, such as the American influence on British English, have affected Standard English in recent times. Authoritative, informative and engaging, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in language change in progress, particularly those working on English, and will be welcomed by students, researchers and language teachers alike.

Twentieth-Century English: History, Variation and Standardization

Purpose – This article scrutinises the nature and salience of corporate heritage identities via the lens of the British Monarchy. A corporate heritage identity framework is introduced. The heritage identity construct is positioned vis‐a‐vis other related constructs such as nostalgia, tradition, and custom.Design/methodology/approach – An embedded case study informed by desktop research and a literature review of the British Monarchy and by an empirical‐collaborative study on the Swedish Monarchy. The paper is also informed by the literature on heritage and other historically‐related constructs.Findings – The notion of relative invariance is introduced. The latter is important since it explains why heritage identities can remain the same and yet have changed, namely: The Relative Invariance Notion. Corporate heritage identities and brands are invested with special qualities in that they are a melding of identity continuity, identity change and are also invested with the identities of time (times past, pres...

Carolyn Birdsall onderzocht de culturele betekenis van geluid en geluidstechnologieen in Duitsland tussen de jaren ‘20 en de jaren ‘40. Ze levert nieuwe inzichten in de veranderingen en continuiteit tussen het Weimar- en nazitijdperk, die vaak over het hoofd worden gezien in veelal visueel-georienteerde historiografie. Birdsall analyseerde de politieke pogingen om de stedelijke ruimte te conditioneren, te controleren en identiteitsformaties te reconstrueren door middel van geluid. De studie van de soundscape (het klanklandschap) toont verschuivingen in sociale organisatie, machtsrelaties en de ideologische productie van zintuiglijke waarneming. In het Nazitijdperk waren moderne geluidstechnologieen, zoals de radio en luidsprekersystemen, van belang voor de ontwikkeling van akoestische publiciteit, sonische aanwezigheid en gedisciplineerde luisteraars. Birdsall stelt dat deze media geen inherente eigenschappen hebben, maar dat ze zijn geconstrueerd door sociale factoren in de tijd. Zij legt de aandacht op de aanhoudende problemen rond het manipuleren van geluid en het controleren van de receptiecontext bij publieke rituelen, in de bioscoop of bij het gebruik van sirenes in oorlogstijd. Hoewel de studie zich concentreert op cultuurhistorische bronnen en verklaringen, kiest Birdsall voor een conceptgerichte aanpak waarmee zij op kritische wijze gebruik maakt van concepten zoals ritme, symfonie, resonantie, echo, luistergemeenschap en oorgetuige. De historische soundscape laat weinig sporen na, maar de studie ervan levert inzichten op in de brede betekenis van modern geluid en op de invloedrijke audiovisuele stereotypen die onze hedendaagse perspectieven op het verleden bepalen.

IN FEBRUARY 1939, Victor Midgley wrote from New Zealand to his old friend Angus Maclnnis in Canada Midgley's analysis of contemporary events in New Zealand in the letter is a fascinating one, and his experiences prior to departing for New Zealand meant that he was a particularly well-qualified observer of union and political affairs Midgley had been an important figure in western Canada's labour movement from the 1910s through to the Depression He also was active politically, running as a socialist candidate in the 1912 provincial election1 Like other members of the Socialist Party of Canada, he worked within the labour movement, serving as secretary for both the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council and the BC Federa tion of Labour He paid a price for this: during the 1918 general strike in Vancouver commemorating Ginger Goodwin's murder, angry veterans beat him and attempted to throw him out of a second floor window of the Labour Temple They eventually settled for forcing him to kiss the Union Jack2 The event had little impact on Midgley's commitment to labour In 1919 he played a key role in the Western Labour Conference in Calgary and subsequently in the formation of the One Big Union He was on the OBU's central committee and acted as its national secretary In this capacity he is perhaps best remembered for a key disagreement with Ernest Winch At the 1920 Port Arthur convention of the OBU, Midgley was instrumental in preventing Winch and other members of the
