Description: Soulful, theatrical, intense: Russian talk is notably full of existential musing and dark passion. However, despite the widespread appreciation of Russian talk, no one has analyzed it as a form of cultural performance. As one of the first Western ethnographers to undertake fieldwork in Moscow, Nancy Ries did just that. In this pioneering study, she shows how everyday conversation shapes Russian identity and culture. Dire stories about poverty, hardship, and social decay recited constantly during perestroika served to fabricate a common worldview--conveying a sense of shared experience and destiny, and casting Russian society as an inescapable realm of absurdity and suffering. Ries agues that while these narratives aptly depicted the chaotic events of the time, they also comprised a kind of contemporary folklore, generic in their lamenting, portentous tones and their culturally poignant details. The story of a grandmother who stands in line all day in order to bring home a precious kilo of sugar becomes a parable of feminine self-sacrifice and endurance. Sardonic narratives about frustrated communal apartment dwellers pouring hot pepper in their neighbor's soup pot challenge the myth of camaraderie and express the proverbial notion that revenge is sweeter for Russians than reconciliation. This insightful ethnography suggests the enormous power that ordinary talk has, in any society, to shape social and political attitudes, and to produce distinctive cultural patterns.

But this book covers them all. This book taps into research to help readers understand why voice improvement is vital to a positive image. A basic book for voice and articulation, this guide introduces principles of voice production and techniques for improving pitch, rate, volume, and quality. Photographs enable readers to see the shape of the mouth for certain sounds, General American English is used as an "industry standard to teach vowels and consonants. The book clearly and concisely describes voice production and explains its companion component-- hearing. Public speakers, communication specialists, ESL specialists and students, broadcasters, theater performers, and anyone interested in improving their voice and diction.

Description: Here at last is a theoretically sound, delightfully readable alternative to commercial phonics kits. Rhymes & Reasons is a smart, up-to-date, all-in-one guide to phonological awarenesswhat it is, what it isnt, and the best practices for teaching it. Most important, it spotlights the best of recently published childrens literature that can be used to foster childrens understanding of phonological awareness in enjoyable and meaningful contexts. "My goal" says author Michael Opitz, "is to provide a resource for busy teachers to access quality literature and provide kid-tested, practical suggestions that will engage children and further finesse their phonological awareness." In clear and accessible prose, he explains the differences between phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics. All sorts of language play are exploredassonance, rhyme, rhythm, phoneme substitution, alliteration, and moreas Opitz provides detailed suggestions for teaching these features. The most valued feature of the book is certain to be the extensively annotated treasury of current childrens literature. More than 350 books are listed, all carefully selected according to the following criteria: - All books feature some sort of language play.
- Each book lends itself to further language-exploration activities and book extension ideas.
- Content is appropriate for primary grade-level readersboth in terms of ideas and language.
- Book choices can be read aloud.
- All are authentic texts (i.e., written from a literary as opposed to pedagogical standpoint).
- All can be purchased in a bookstore or found in local libraries.
Whats more, Opitz provides additional support through a related website that is accessible through the Heinemann homepage.With a resource as comprehensive and current as this, teachers will be well prepared as they seek to instill a love of language and set children on the road to becoming independent lifelong readers.

Description: This book examines some of the ways linguistics can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, this book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached. It begins with an examination of the foundations of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, moves on to the basic principles of phonology, and ends with an outline of some further issues within contemporary phonology. Varieties of English, particularly Received Pronunciation and General American, form the focus of consideration, but aspects of the phonetics and phonology of other languages are discussed as well.
This new edition includes a new chapter on intonation, stress and tone. It has been updated throughout to take account of the latest developments in phonological theory but without sacrificing the book's ease of use for beginners.
