Voices in Texts and Contexts presents different perspectives
of 'voice', a concept emerging from language choices, social and
cultural phenomena, and psychology. In weaving a tapestry of
linguistic experiences, from analyses of language phenomena
including localised English to explanations of human behaviour,
this book offers insights into how we use language, construct
discourse, and express ourselves in light of selected texts and
specific contexts. Voice is a fundamental instrument to interpret
human behaviour and the mind. In this book, readers will learn
about uses of language, or perceptions of uses, and a wide range of
messages enshrined therein. This book grew out of the 6th and 7th
International Conferences on Discourse and Society organised by the
Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia.
It contains chapters that give special focus to Malaysia at the
macro level - such as the naming of disabled people, mastery of the
Malay language by migrants, loanwords of Sanskrit origin in
Malaysian - as well contributions by invited scholars whose
academic interests intersect with the theme of the volume.
It is suitable for scholars, educators, researchers, and the
interested general public.
