The dynamics of nominal address terms in social interactions in Cape Breton (Canada)
A collection of interviews
 
Bernard Mulo Farenkia
Cape Breton University
 
This book is a collection of interviews on nominal address terms in family, community and workplace interactions in Cape Breton and in interactions at Cape Breton University (Canada). The interviews center on types of nominal address terms, the pragmatic intents behind their usages, the contexts in which they are employed, and sociocultural ramifications and constraints involved in their uses. The voices documented here give insights in the dynamics of nominal address terms and present various facets of address usages in Cape Breton Community. The collection provides valuable data for in-depth studies on address practice in Cape Breton and Canadian English as well as data for further sociolinguistic and cross-cultural pragmatic investigations.

Developing Writing Skills through the Process-Genre Approach 
 
Bonala Kondal
SR University, Warangal
 
The objectives of the book are to find out the tertiary level learners’ entry-level behavior in terms of business writing skills, to explore if the process-genre approach to writing could significantly influence the quality of the students’ business writing, to ascertain the effect of the process-genre approach to writing in developing writing skill of MBA students, and  to obtain students’ feedback and opinion on their experiences in using the process genre approach to teaching business writing skills. The sample included 40 MBA students.  The age group ranged between 21 to 24 years and they had diverse mother tongue background.  The diverse research tools are used to collect the data. The study was carried out in 3 phases.  They were: pre-intervention phase, intervention programme and post-intervention phase.  In addition, the researcher also administered questionnaires to 32 teachers of English to gather data about their teaching experiences regarding teaching of writing. 
 
At the end, the pre-test was conducted among MBA students in order to quantify their entry-level behavior in terms of writing business reports and proposals. During the intervention stage, the researcher taught business writing through the process-genre approach. The study adopted mixed method approach for analyzing the data obtained. Later the pre-test and post-tests scores of the subjects were compared to obtain the rate of their improvement in different aspects of business writing. Based on the post-test results, it was discovered that the process-genre approach to the teaching of writing had a significant effect on the learners’ written performance. The post-test scores of the students were significantly higher than that of their pre-test scores.  The findings established that the process genre approach to L2 writing helped the management learners to enhance their writing skills.  It is recommended that English teachers should adopt this approach to help students improve their writing skills.

Travel Writing
The Dynamics of Knowledge Production
 
Raeesa Usmani (ed.)
Charotar University of Science and Technology
 
Travel Writing, narratives on travels, has multitudinous possibilities, still, unexplored. Travel writing facilitates alternatives and representations to re-discover, re-live and re-experience places, people and memories from different approaches. Every dimension presented by a travel writer through wide-ranging gazes, whether academic and/or critical, personal and/or creative, brings experiences of ‘others’ to life. Writing about travelling helps widening the exclusive discourse on travel narratives, either as prose or verse, which, in turn, brings out expansive interpretations that can enable the international readership to take a peek into the world of different viewers /onlookers /travellers, while following their individual Gaze.
 
Therefore, the edited book makes a significant contribution to understand how these varied perspectives might intersect with one another. How does travel narrative enables the unsettling of space and identities by asking questions of unsettling ideas of belonging?

An English-Arabic Glossary of Ecocritical Terminology
 
Mohamed Kamel Abdel-Daem
Revised by Sanad Motlaq Al-Sobaie   
 
Ecocriticism is the scrutiny of literary output and ecology on a cultural level of interdisciplinarity hence the various scientific fields harmoniously integrate to study ecology and suggest potential views in order to combat the current ecological challenge.
 
This work purports to provide the Arabic-speaking reader with an English-Arabic glossary of the main terminology of ecocriticism as well as a big number of terms that belong to a variety of fields of cognition: science, sociology, psychology, ecology, politics, philosophy, etc. Giving these numerous scientific terms along with the ecocritical ones emphasizes and illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of ecocriticism: one day the ecocritic might work collaboratively with the politician, the scientist, the philosopher, the linguist, etc. Finally, the terms ‘environment’ and ‘ecology’, their inflections, and their Arabic equivalents, are often used synonymously in this English-Arabic dictionary.

Literary Research: The Arts in Language, Communication, Culture and Society
 
Jidda Hassan Juma’a (ed.)
University of Maiduguri
 
This book is a research contribution from scholars in the area of Arts and Humanities. It contains articles on languages, linguistics, communication, culture and society. On languages and linguistics aspects the book looks at the fate of languages susceptible to endangerment due to major languages encroachment on their vocabulary and the attitudes of the speakers of the endangered languages.
 
The interaction between local Nigerian languages with modern European languages such as English and French occupy considerable space. In the area of communication researchers looked at the relevance of artistic designs, theatre and theories, in conveying messages that are educative and in the end transforming society’s mindset. On the cultural aspects scholars have extensively discussed the traditional barriers often created by shortsighted vision to religion, intellectualism and society that resulted into indecent interaction between the subjects.
 
On the research study in society the scholars have in more details discussed the dual function of society, where the same can be used in the process of destruction and reconstruction. Thus, on the use of drama, they were able to address social vices and the gradually returning peace to insurgent zones of Niger-Delta and Boko Haram in Northeast Nigeria.

LINGUISTIQUE, LITTÉRATURE ET DIDACTIQUE : PONTS ET PASSERELLES
Mélanges offerts en hommage au Professeur David Ngamassu, à l’occasion du trentenaire de l’université de Buea
 
Pierre Martial ABOSSOLO & Pierre ESSENGUÉ (éds.)
 
Linguistique, littérature et didactique : ponts et passerelles est un texte en hommage au Professeur David Ngamassu. C’est un volume de seize (16) contributions scientifiques dans les trois domaines de prédilection de cet enseignant-chercheur dont la carrière arrive à son terme. Par cet hommage, le département de French de l’université de Buea fait d’une pierre deux coups : rendre hommage au collègue dont la carrière s’achève et célébrer les trente années de la Réforme universitaire qui aura porté cette université sur les fonts baptismaux.
 
Les contributions scientifiques dans les trois champs de recherche du Professeur Ngamassu sont précédées de deux textes d’escorte : le mot du chef de département et de celui de l’ami. La quatrième section intitulée Varia donne la possibilité aux chercheurs d’autres champs de participer à cet hommage. Pour l’occasion, deux chercheurs en Histoire ont bien voulu apporter leur pierre au projet.
 
Les contributions retenues couvrent les disciplines aussi variées que : les politiques linguistiques, la stylistique, la grammaire normative, la lexicologie différentielle, les attitudes et représentations vis-à-vis des langues, la critique littéraire, les recherches en didactique et en sociolinguistique, etc. Elles donnent, chacune, un aperçu de l’évolution des problématiques dans leur domaines d’investigation respectifs.

LE 140: Multi-word verbs in the Late Modern English period (1750-1850): a corpus-based study

Multi-word verbs in the Late Modern English period (1750-1850):
a corpus-based study
 
Ljubica Leone
 
This book offers a description of the development of multi-word verbs over the years 1750-1850; and specifically, it focuses on phrasal verbs, prepositional verbs and phrasal-prepositional verbs in Late Modern English (LModE).
 
The topics included in the book respond to the growing interest in research on the LModE period, which until recently had received only limited attention. Descriptive analyses of frequency and the use of multi-word verbs are complemented with a discussion of the factors and mechanisms driving language change, such as grammaticalization, lexicalization, idiomatization, direct formation, reanalysis and analogy. Adopting a corpus-based method, the book describes the transformation of multi-word verbs, the way stability intertwines with change, further corroborating the status of the LMod period as a time featuring both innovation and stable features.
 
The interplay of internal mechanisms of change favoured the loss of instances and the coinage of new members of the class of multi-word verbs, and often stimulated phenomena of interference between all multi-word verbs and cases of membership shift between classes.
