Like the first volume, The Handbook of Language and Ethnic
Identity, Volume 2 is a reference work on the interconnection
between language and ethnic identity. In this volume, 37 new essays
provide a systematic look at different language and ethnic identity
efforts, assess their relative successes and failures, and place
the cases on a success-failure continuum. The reasons for these
failures and successes and the linguistic, social, and political
contexts involved are subtle and highly complex. Some of these
factors have to do with whether the language is considered a
dialect, as in the cases of Bavarian, Ebonics, and Scots
(considered to be dialects of German, American English, and British
English, respectively). Other factors have to do with government
policy, as in the cases of Basque and Navajo. Still other factors
are historical, such as the way Canaanite was supplanted in
present-day Israel by another classical language-Hebrew.
Although the volume offers considerable sophistication in the
treatment of language, ethnicity and identity, it has been written
for the non-specialized reader, whether student or layperson. The
contributors are an international group of well-known scholars in a
range of fields. Fishman and Garcia provide a detailed introduction
that addresses the difficulty of assessing the success or failure
of a language. They also present a conclusion that integrates the
data presented in the volume."
A thesaurus that fits in the palm of your hand
- A compact compendium of synonyms, related words, and
antonyms
- More than 85,000 words
- Find the right word whenever you need it
Organizing Words presents a series of essays on some 220 widely
used--and much debated--terms in the social sciences, and
organization studies. Each essay explores the meanings and uses of
the word; and also the controversies they have sparked. The book
aims to be a first port of call for students, researchers and
scholars who wish to familiarize themselves with these key ideas
and use them in their own work.
The book is neither an encyclopaedia nor a dictionary, but a
thesaurus. As such it combines both the original meaning of a
thesaurus as a treasure trove, with its more contemporary
characteristics of an accessible and practical resource.
Primarily aimed to those interested in social and organizational
studies, it will appeal to all those interested in the human
sciences. It does not claim to be canonical or all-inclusive, but
each entry seeks to enlighten and help, without patronizing or
obscuring disagreements and difficulties. The book seeks to be
re-assuring without being complacent or "comfortable," to be
authoritative without being doctrinaire, and to be critical without
being destructive.
Words help us express ourselves, and make sense of our experiences
and our actions; and they help us to organize ourselves, our
thoughts and our universe. Organizing Words will be an invaluable
resource for essay-writing and a useful tool in planning and
carrying out projects and dissertations.
Most of the entries have been written by Yiannis Gabriel, with 40
essays coming from experts in particular areas.
A compact compendium designed for 3-ring binders, this thesaurus

In this book
Neuroanatomy and the Neurologic Exam is an innovative,
comprehensive thesaurus that surveys terminology from neuroanatomy
and the neurologic examination, as well as related general terms
from neurophysiology, neurohistology, neuroembryology,
neuroradiology, and neuropathology. The author prepared the
thesaurus by examining how terms were used in a large sample of
recent, widely used general textbooks in basic neuroanatomy and
clinical neurology. These textbooks were written by experts who
received their primary professional training in 13 different
countries, allowing the thesaurus to incorporate synonyms and
conflicting definitions that occur as a result of variations in
terminology used in other countries. The thesaurus contains:
