It is predicted that within a century more than half of the worlds languages will become extinct, but as languages are lost, new ones emerge naturally or are constructed. In this program, Noam Chomsky; Esperantist Thomas Eccard; endangered languages researcher Peter Ladefoged, and others provide insights into the language life cycle. Topics include constructed languages such as Esperanto, language endangerment and preservation, and the role of globalization in language obsolescence. The experts also discuss current language trends and offer their opinions on which languages may emerge as front-runners in the future.

What precisely is language and how did humans acquire it? In an effort to answer these essential questions, this program journeys back to prehistoric times in search of languages origin. But this is not a passive discussion, as Noam Chomsky; Brown Universitys Philip Lieberman; Johanna Nichols, of U.C. Berkeley; Stanford University's Merritt Ruhlen; professor of anthropology Richard Klein; Nobel physicist Murray Gell-Mann; and others passionately defend their points of view. Additional topics include distinguishing features of human communication and what humankinds first utterances may have been. The early evolution and migration of humans is also considered.

Writing is a relative latecomer to the history of language. This program tracks its emergence in Mesopotamia, China, and Mesoamerica and its down through the millennia via conquest--usually violent, sometimes benign--and colonization. The creation of creoles and pidgins resulting from the interaction of specific populations is also addressed, and speculation is made about the first things to be written down. Noam Chomsky; Peter , coeditor of The Worlds Writing Systems; the Manhattan Institutes John McWhorter; MITs Michel DeGraff; and Salikoko Mufwene, of The University of Chicago, contribute.

Reader's Reviews "This book has lifted my head and put fire back in my belly. I highly recommend this book for all Christians whether new or old in the faith. Long years in Christian ministry is no protection from feeling weak. David's book has awakened me. Thank you so much. You have encouraged me to press in to God again." By T&J in Oxon "Excellent, well written, yet simple easy to understand and also very stirring makes you want to put everything into practice straight away." By V. Clarke "Packed With Great Revelation. I truly was inspired. It is a very worthwhile read about this gift, and I do recommend it. Answers many questions." By Pooh Bear (Tokyo, Japan) "Typical David Lee Martin - Biblical & Practical. David obviously has a great prayer life. You just 'know it' from the way he writes on prayer. His approach is always Biblical and practical. He seems to get across the principles of what he is teaching and yet leaves room for each individuals own expression. His quotes from great men and women of God are much more than just a nice bonus with each one presenting its own challenge." By Bob Collard Speaking God's Language - A Guide To Speaking In Tongues is a spiritually charged practical guide to praying in tongues. Taking the Scriptures you will learn what the Bible teaches about the supernatural gift of speaking in tongues, and how you can unleash its power in your own life. Some call it glossolalia (the scientific term for this supernatural manifestation), but most often it is called speaking in tongues or praying in tongues. Whatever you call it, it is a very real, and very powerful, reality in the everyday lives of literally multitudes of believers in Jesus Christ. maybe you are one of them? maybe you just want to find out more about this 'strange' supernatural occurrence. Maybe you want to speak in tongues yourself. Whichever one of these is true of you, Speaking God's language contains answers that you have been looking for. Praying in tongues remains one of the most powerful, practical and helpful gifts that God has ever given, and when understood and appreciated for all that the Scriptures teach us about it, can be utilised to engage spiritually on many levels; we pray to build our own personal spirit life, and to be refreshed in our inner man; we also speak in tongues to pray for others, and release prophetic anointing and destiny into our circumstances - and those of our cities and nations. This one gift alone is packed with enough power to turn the world upside down! Maybe this is why the devil resists it so consistently. I encourage you to grab hold of the principles in this booklet, and apply them in your own pursuit of God. As James encourages us in his letter to the Church: "...the effective, fervent prayers of righteous men and women avail much, making tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)." James 5:14, Amplified Be blessed as you read. Included In the Kindle Edition of Speaking God's Language - A Handbook for Praying In Tongues: The Scriptural history of tongues - where did it all begin? How to build yourself up spiritually through praying in tongues. How to interpret your tongues. How to receive spiritual refreshment through speaking in tongues.

Moving from Africa to Oceania and up to Asia and then west to Europe and across the ocean to the Americas, the program assesses how many languages are spoken in each region, the characteristics they share, and misconceptions about them. Historical background on some of the key languages of the regions is included as well. The commentary of Salikoko Mufwene, coeditor of The Ecology of Language Evolution; Larry Hyman, of U.C. Berkeley; Hua Lin, of the University of Victoria; Harvard University's Jay Jasanoff and Lyle Campbell, of the University of Utah, are featured.

There can be few subjects of such widespread interest and fascination to anyone who reads as the strange ways of languages. In this wonderfully entertaining and fascinating book, John McWhorter introduces us to 'the natural history of language': from Russonorsk, a creole of Russian and Norwegian once spoken by trading fur trappers to an Australian Aboriginal language which only has three verbs. Witty, brilliant and authoritative, this book is a must for anyone who is interested in language, as sheerly enjoyable as non-fiction gets.

Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books Xuela Claudette Richardson is recalling the last seventy years of her life, and so she must begin with her birth, and the accompanying death of her mother. Xuela’s vivid, visceral recollections of the lonely, unsettled life that follows the trauma of her arrival include that of her distant father, who sends her away to another household at the earliest opportunity; of her passion for the stevedore Roland, who fulfils her sexually but not intellectually; and of her husband, who provides her with status and a wealthy lifestyle but whom she is incapable of loving. Poetic and disturbing, The Autobiography of My Mother is one of Kincaid’s most powerful statements of Afro-Caribbean women’s struggle for identity and independence, against a hostile backdrop of sexism and colonialism. Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.

The New York Times bestselling account of one of history's most brutal—and forgotten—massacres, when the Japanese army destroyed China's capital city on the eve of World War II, "piecing together the abundant eyewitness reports into an undeniable tapestry of horror". (Adam Hochschild, Salon) In December 1937, one of the most horrific atrocities in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking (what was then the capital of China), and within weeks, more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers were systematically raped, tortured, and murdered. In this seminal work, Iris Chang, whose own grandparents barely escaped the massacre, tells this history from three perspectives: that of the Japanese soldiers, that of the Chinese, and that of a group of Westerners who refused to abandon the city and created a safety zone, which saved almost 300,000 Chinese. Drawing on extensive interviews with survivors and documents brought to light for the first time, Iris Chang's classic book is the definitive history of this horrifying episode.
