About this title

Synopsis

In this volume, Dr. Haas brings together studies on the powerful trend toward linguistic standardization, viewing it as an essential feature of the life of a language and of the work of grammarians. J. Vachek examines the distinctive function of written norms and D.J. Allerton considers how the same norm may serve different dialects. The book also includes four studies�by R.E. Keller, M.W.S. De Silva, T.S. Mitchell and M. Alexiou�which review present conditions in Switzerland, Ceylon, the Arabic- speaking Middle East and Greece and deal with the problems, linguistic and social, that arise from an imposition of written and spoken standards on divergent vernaculars.

Store Description

GloryBe Books & Ephemera, LLC is an on-line out-of-print book and ephemera marketplace. Our goal is to offer accurately described items at reasonable prices. Libraries will be able to stretch their book budgets and supplement their inventory. Academicians, bibliographers, researchers, collectors, and avid readers will discover that they can obtain a valued book or pamphlet for less than an alternative version of the original item. After over forty years in the book business there remains no greater joy than to connect an excited customer with a book or pamphlet needed to further research, add to a collection, find a favorite book to share with a child or simply locate a copy of a book written or illustrated by a family member. GloryBe Books & Ephemera was founded by a bibliophile with nearly five decades of experience who has decided to offer his private eclectic stock for sale. Items acquired from scholars, academicians, publishers, import book distributors, private collectors and renowned booksellers will be catalogued and added on a weekly basis. We believe we will be sustained in this endeavor by your letter of appreciation that your item arrived in a timely manner, accurately described at a fair price. We look forward to hearing from you.
