The English-Learning and Languages Review
Links to interesting web sites concerned with languages,
language-learning, and cultural variety
(This page is still at a very early stage.)
A site being developed for commentary on and the
history of French comic strips, as well as French culture in general. It will
also suggest how the comic strip can be used as an important aid in the
learning of French.
Intellect publishes a wide variety of books
for those interested in language, languages, and cultures. Among the categories
of its publications are:
Cultural Studies, including the titles National Identity; Regionalism
in the European Union; Food in European Literature; and The English
Language in Europe.
Language and Writing, including Language and Thought and The Art
and Science of Learning Languages.
Intellect also distributes titles for Elm Bank Publications, including Francophone
Voices; Contemporary French Pronunciation; Variability in Spoken French; and
Translation: Here and There, Now and Then.
Intellect in addition publishes International Journal of Francophone
Studies and International Journal of Iberian Studies.
This publisher is particularly interested in
computer-assisted language-learning.
This link is to the web site of the Institute
of Linguists, London, which provides a wide range of linguistic services,
including the journal The Linguist.
They have their own page of "links to web sites providing a range of
language services and information."
Pages on many different aspects of language,
languages, and their cultures worldwide, including snatches of Sioux and
Sanskrit. These pages are unusually interesting for the variety of the angles
of approach.
But one of the last pages consists solely of the aphorism "The limits
of my language are the limits of my world." That this is the opposite
of the truth is argued in Language and Thought, by Amorey Gethin (see
the entry Intellect: Language and Writing above). The English-Learning and Languages
Review would welcome a debate on this issue in its pages. Please send in
your views to the editor!
Pages in Spanish about dissidents in Latin
America and China. They include an interview with a Cuban anarchist and its
translation into English.
