Medieval European literature was once thought to have been isolationist in its nature, but recent scholarship has revealed the ways in which Spanish and Italian authors – including Cervantes and Marco Polo – were influenced by Arabic poetry, music, and philosophy. A Sea of Languages brings together some of the most influential scholars working in Muslim-Christian-Jewish cultural communications today to discuss the convergence of the literary, social, and economic histories of the medieval Mediterranean. This volume takes as a starting point María Rosa Menocal's groundbreaking work The Arabic Role in Medieval Literary History, a major catalyst in the reconsideration of prevailing assumptions regarding the insularity of medieval European literature. Reframing ongoing debates within literary studies in dynamic new ways, A Sea of Languages will become a critical resource and reference point for a new generation of scholars and students on the intersection of Arabic and European literature.

This volume brings together eleven studies on the history of language and writing in the North Sea area, with focus on contacts and interchanges through time. Its range spans from the investigation of pre-Germanic place-names to present-day Shetland; the materials studied include glosses, legal and trade documents as well as place names and modern dialects. The volume is unique in its combination of linguistics and place-name studies with literacy studies, which allows for a very dynamic picture of the history of language contact and texts in the North Sea area. Different approaches come together to illuminate a major insight: the omnipresence of multilingualism as a context for language development and a formative characteristic of literacy. Among the contributors are experts on English, Nordic and German language history. The book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students working on the history of Northern European languages, literacy studies and language contact

Bilingual paragraph-by-paragraph translationsSo you can learn or practice a language while reading the books you already want to read anyway.► Classical novel Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, begin an extremely hazardous voyage to rid the seas of a little-known and terrifying sea monster. However, the "monster" turns out to be a giant submarine, commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, by whom they are soon held captive. So begins not only one of the great adventure classics by Jules Verne, the 'Father of Science Fiction', but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole. ► Parallel text (French - English) The original French version (1869) is aligned with the official English translation, by Lewis Page Mercier (1872). The most common way to use these texts is to only use your native language when it's absolutely necessary for understanding what's going on in the text. This keeps you from just leaning on a language you already know. By only consulting the "teaching language" when absolutely necessary, you get the experience of extensive reading without the pain of having to do it in the normal way. This also means that all the input you're getting is comprehensible, which helps grow your vocabulary, grammar and other subtle aspects of the language.In the end, the goal of the parallel text books is to help you understand and learn at the same time by helping you when you need it and not helping you when you don't need it.If you can learn to use parallel text books correctly, they're incredibly powerful tools that can teach you a very nuanced version of the language you're trying to learn. ►How to Use Parallel Text Books To make the most of using parallel text books, follow these steps. 1. Don't read both languages all the time. This is the most important step on this list. Don't read both languages every time you read-your native language is just an aid for understanding the target language and should be treated as such.If you start reading both languages all the time, you're basically giving your brain the green light to always translate in your head. This is very important not to do because translating in your head is tiresome and only slows you down and keeps you from sounding natural when you speak. 2. Read often. Reading in a new language is just like learning to read again. You need to be reading as much as possible so you can grow as much as possible. Take in as many different types of books as you can and read them until you can digest and retain the information in them.Not only is reading often important to get used to the method of reading parallel texts, but it also just gets you comfortable around your new language and helps you begin to think in that language when you're using it.Essentially, the more you read, the better you'll speak, read and write in the language that you're studying. 3. Read out loud whenever possible. This will probably make you uncomfortable at first, because most of us don't regularly read out loud.However, it's very important to read books out loud when you're reading in a foreign language because it helps you with things like pronunciation, rhythm, etc.

Language Policy and Planning in the Mediterranean World is a collection of the best papers presented at the MedLPLP conference held at the University of Cyprus in 2009, enriched with invited contributions on the same topic. The book presents a panorama of situations with countries such as France, Germany, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania and Serbia. It explores various aspects of the weight and ecology of the Mediterranean languages, discusses LPP in the light of international law and the protection of human rights, bilingual education and foreign language acquisition policies. It also addresses the issue of feminization in a broad range of Mediterranean languages comparing French, Italian, Spanish, and, for the first time, Standard and Cypriot Greek. Finally, the book also discusses language revival and renovation policies, language planning in the public space, as well as cases of micro-language management. The volume is an excellent source of information for scholars and students of LPP interested in the synchrony and diachrony of Mediterranean languages, in aspects of LPP activity in various Mediterranean countries and in specific LPP processes involving several languages within the area.
