African-American English Structure History and Use

African-American English Structure History and Use

This book was the first to provide a comprehensive survey of linguistic research into African-American English and is widely recognised as a classic in the field. It covers both the main linguistic features in particular the grammar phonology and lexicon as well as the sociological political and educational issues connected with African-American English. The editors have played key roles in the development of African-American English and Black Linguistics as overlapping academic fields of study. Along with other leading figures notably Geneva Smitherman William Labov and Walt Wolfram they provide an authoritative diverse guide to these vitally important subject areas. Drawing on key moments of cultural significance from the Ebonics controversy to the rap of Ice-T the contributors cover the state of the art in scholarship on African-American English and actively dispel misconceptions address new questions and explore new approaches. This classic edition has a new foreword by Sonja Lanehart setting the book in context and celebrating its influence. This is an essential text for courses on African-American English key reading for Varieties of English and World Englishes modules and an important reference for students of linguistics black studies and anthropology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. | African-American English Structure History and Use

Guide to Modern Physics Using Mathematica for Calculations and Visualizations

Guide to Modern Physics Using Mathematica for Calculations and Visualizations

This is a how to guide for making beginning calculations in modern physics. The academic level is second year college physical science and engineering students. The calculations are performed in Mathematica and stress graphical visualization units and numerical answers. The techniques show the student how to learn the physics without being hung up on the math. There is a continuing movement to introduce more advanced computational methods into lower-level physics courses. Mathematica is a unique tool in that code is written as human readable much like one writes a traditional equation on the board. Key Features: Concise summary of the physics concepts. Over 300 worked examples in Mathematica. Tutorial to allow a beginner to produce fast results. The companion code for this book can be found here: https://physics. bu. edu/~rohlf/code. html James Rohlf is a Professor at Boston University. As a graduate student he worked on the first experiment to trigger on hadron jets with a calorimeter Fermilab E260. His thesis (G. C. Fox advisor C. Barnes R. P. Feynman R. Gomez) used the model of Field and Feynman to compare observed jets from hadron collisions to that from electron-positron collisions and made detailed acceptance corrections to arrive at first the measurement of quark-quark scattering cross sections. His thesis is published in Nuclear Physics B171 (1980) 1. At the Cornell Electron Storage Rings he worked on the discovery of the Upsilon (4S) resonance and using novel event shape variables developed by Stephen Wolfram and his thesis advisor Geoffrey Fox. He performed particle identification of kaons and charmed mesons to establish the quark decay sequence b –> c. At CERN he worked on the discovery of the W and Z bosons and measurement of their properties. Presently he is working on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which discovered the Higgs boson and is searching for new phenomena beyond the standard model. | Guide to Modern Physics Using Mathematica for Calculations and Visualizations
