Story
Language, Society and Power is an accessible introduction to studying language in a variety of social contexts. This book examines the ways language functions, how it influences the way we view society and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class, and gender. It considers whether representations of people and their language matter, explores how identity is constructed and performed, and considers the creative potential of language in the media, politics and everyday talk.

Story
Spoken by a quarter of the world's population, English is today's lingua franca—its common tongue. The language of business, popular media, and international politics, English has become commodified for its economic value and increasingly detached from any particular nation. This meteoric "rise of English" has many obvious benefits, but very real downsides as well. In The Rise of English, Rosemary Salomone offers a commanding view of the unprecedented spread of English and the far-reaching effects it has on global and local politics, economics, media, education, and business.

Story
What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? When we talk about saving or supporting a language do we mean the musical combination of syllables, or something more profound? How do new words enter a language, and what is the relationship between that strange dialect called Hiberno-English and its parent language? "Craic Baby" picks up exactly where "Motherfoclóir" left off and explores the very new and very old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective.

Story
„W drogę!!!” to kolejny po „Jeść!!!” bogato ilustrowany, tematyczny leksykon profesora Jerzego Bralczyka. Tym razem przedmiotem rozważań autora są słowa związane z podróżowaniem, drogą, wędrowaniem. Każde z haseł to osobny, pełen humoru i imponującej erudycji felieton. Profesor Bralczyk pisze o pochodzeniu wybranych przez siebie słów, ich zmieniających się przez lata znaczeniach, zaskakujących kontekstach w jakich bywają używane i skojarzeniach jakie budzą. Ten słownik wciąga jak pasjonująca powieść.

Story
Leksykon „Do domu!!!”, autorstwa profesora Jerzego Bralczyka, to kolejny po „Jeść!!!” i „W drogę!!!” przewodnik po słowach i ich znaczeniach. Znany i lubiany językoznawca zaprasza do domu na niezwykle pouczający i zarazem dowcipny spacer po pomieszczeniach, okraszony wieloma powiedzonkami i cytatami z klasyki polskiej literatury. Czytelnicy zwiedzą salon, kuchnię i jadalnię, ale też alkowę i buduar, zajrzą do spiżarni i lodówki, ocenią, co jest bardziej wygodne: kanapa, tapczan czy wersalka, będą podziwiać żyrandole i etażerki, a na koniec wyjdą na balkon, a może taras lub werandę – z pewnością jednak nie będą się snuli z kąta w kąt.

Story
Wyjątkowy leksykon w którym znany i lubiany językoznawca, prof. Jerzy Bralczyk, omówił sto osiemdziesiąt jeden „smacznych słów”. Są to w większości nazwy apetycznie brzmiących potraw, pozostałe służą jedzeniu lub się z nim kojarzą. Nie jest to jednak przewodnik kulinarny sensu stricto, ponieważ autor przede wszystkim delektuje się nie samym smakiem jedzenia, lecz słowami, ich brzmieniem, urodą i funkcją.

Story
La puntuación es un sistema de convenciones que otorga mayor precisión y profundidad a las letras y palabras, dotándolas de color y emoción, tono y ritmo. De hecho, tiene consecuencias aún más drásticas: los signos de puntuación no son únicamente una parte importante de nuestro código idiomático, sino que se transformaron nada menos que en una de las fuerzas impulsoras en el desarrollo de toda nuestra civilización occidental.

Este livro é fruto de uma longa trajetória de pesquisas acadêmicas nas áreas de Linguística, Direito e Literatura que resultou na escrita da tese doutoral, premiada no Brasil e no exterior, sobre as narrativas de vida de Antígona (Sófocles) (442 a.C.), Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) e Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793). Nessa obra, foram analisadas vozes enunciadoras que marcaram as origens do Direito, em sua complexidade que envolve as noções dos Direitos Humanos. O corpus é composto por epístolas, declarações, diálogos e cenas enunciativas das vozes supracitadas.
