Norme vir Afrikaans het oor jare al bewys gelewer dat dit 'n besonder effektiewe bron is vir gebruik in taalkundeklaskamers van tersiere instellings en selfs in skole. Die titel is 'n praktiese naslaanbron wat as basis vir eie taalontwikkeling kan dien. In die aanpak word probeer om taalteorie en taalpraktyk te versoen. In die besonder fokus die boek op die "norme" wat 'n mens in gedagte moet hou by die praktiese gebruik van Afrikaans, o.m. die beginsels onderliggend aan hierdie norme, en dan ook die identifisering van belangrike en nuttige bronne van taaladvies oor problematiese taalsake. Die doel van die boek is nie om streng "normatief" te probeer voorskryf nie, maar eerder om leiding te gee met die hantering van praktiese taalkwessies met as vertrekpunt gefundeerde taalteoretiese kennis oor die Afrikaanse taalkunde. Die boek is 'n omvattende en uiters bruikbare hulpmiddel vir sowel student as dosent en is die vrug van die outeur se jarelange ondervinding as taaldosent. Die riglyne van die tiende uitgawe van die Afrikaanse Woordelys en Spelreels (AWS) (2009) is ook volledig in hierdie uitgawe verreken.

A major enterprise comparable to a grand retrospective of the painting of some prominent artist of a distinctive school.' Roy Harris, Times Literary Supplement The tenth volume in Professor M.A.K. Halliday's collected works includes papers focusing on Language and Society. The papers provide a framework for understanding the social meaning of language, and the relation of language to other social phenomena. The volume begins with Professor Halliday's ground-breaking work on the users and uses of language. Subsequent chapters are organized around a discussion of sociolinguistic theory, and the relation between language and social class and social structure.

This book attempts to deconstruct certain key clusters of Chinese characters and words, centering on themes such as war and peace, kith and kin, male and female, rites and rituals, pleasure and leisure to make them yield fascinating tales about Chinese culture and history in which these words are embedded and which they at the same time encapsulate. The Chinese language, Chinese history and culture are presented as one long woven bolt of silk (for which China has historically been noted), with the written language conceived as the warp while the history and culture the weft. In this process of linguistic exploration, the book shows in what ways the Chinese written language may be said to be unique as well as to reveal, amongst other things, certain aspects of: * ancient Chinese religion, cosmology, philosophy, political theory, law, medicine, astronomy, physics, geography; * their grasp, on the part of the ancient Chinese people, of human reproduction, biology and physiology, psychology, biochemistry, even neurology of the brain; * what constitutes Chinese identity, the core values of Chinese culture, the essential glue holding their society together; * their daily existence, such as their food and drink, the houses they lived in, the furniture they used, their chief modes of transportation, etc. A fascinating look at Chinese language and culture.

Why another book on grammar? You probably have been learning quite a lot of grammar, but you are still not clear about how to make a sentence. Why? Is there anything wrong with your approach to learning? If we offer you a funny way, a non-traditional method, a 'new' perspective on thinking about grammar, will you try it? The aim of this book is to introduce a 'new' perspective on learning grammar, especially for Business English. We start and end with sentences, the most important part in writing, and sometimes speaking. Unlike traditional grammar books that discuss nouns, verbs, adjectives, we go straight to sentences as we believe at the end of the day what you want are actually sentences. How? This book has two features: It focuses on how to. Most grammar books helps you understand grammar terms, but, we show you how to put them into practice, how to make sentences (written and spoken). This book also talks about grammar in an easy, funny way. You'll learn sentence structures by solving a problem between two women who have to 'share' a husband; you'll get the differences between the past simple and the present perfect simple by reading a love story; and there are also funny names such as Lonely, Friendly, Slim, and Fat Verbs for you to learn.
