Yet the city's speech has never before received a comprehensive description and analysis. In this book, Michael Newman examines the differences and similarities among the ways English is spoken by the extraordinarily diverse population living in the NY dialect region. He uses data from a variety of sources including older dialectological accounts, classic and recent variationist studies, and original research on speakers from around the dialect region. All levels of language are explored including phonology, morphosyntax, lexicon, and discourse along with a history of English in the region. But this book provides far more than a dialectological and historical inventory of linguistic features. The forms used by different groups of New Yorkers are discussed in terms of their complex social meanings. Furthermore, Newman illustrates the varied forms of sociolinguistic significance with examples from the personal experiences of a variety of New Yorkers and includes links to sound files on the publisher's site and videos on YouTube. The result is a rigorous but accessible and compelling account of the English spoken in this great city.Dialects of English ;volume 10.English languageDialectsNew York (State)New YorkElectronic books.English languageDialects427.97471HF 980rvkNewman Michael884009MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464654903321New York City English2489695UNINA04513nam 2201009 a 450 991078964850332120230422031714.01-283-27695-X97866132769570-520-91489-910.1525/9780520914896(CKB)2670000000113437(EBL)763987(OCoLC)748241951(SSID)ssj0000554858(PQKBManifestationID)11364358(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000554858(PQKBWorkID)10517430(PQKB)11761782(StDuBDS)EDZ0000083886(MiAaPQ)EBC763987(DE-B1597)520778(DE-B1597)9780520914896(Au-PeEL)EBL763987(CaPaEBR)ebr10496864(CaONFJC)MIL327695(EXLCZ)99267000000011343719981001d1999 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHiroshima traces[electronic resource] time, space, and the dialectics of memory /Lisa YoneyamaBerkeley University of California Pressc19991 online resource (314 p.)Twentieth-century Japan ;10Description based upon print version of record.0-520-08587-6 0-520-08586-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt. 1. Cartographies of memory -- pt. 2. Storytellers -- pt. 3. Memory and positionality.Remembering Hiroshima, the city obliterated by the world's first nuclear attack, has been a complicated and intensely politicized process, as we learn from Lisa Yoneyama's sensitive investigation of the "dialectics of memory." She explores unconventional texts and dimensions of culture involved in constituting Hiroshima memories-including history textbook controversies, discourses on the city's tourism and urban renewal projects, campaigns to preserve atomic ruins, survivors' testimonial practices, ethnic Koreans' narratives on Japanese colonialism, and the feminized discourse on peace-in order to illuminate the politics of knowledge about the past and present. In the way battles over memories have been expressed as material struggles over the cityscape itself, we see that not all share the dominant remembering of Hiroshima's disaster, with its particular sense of pastness, nostalgia, and modernity. The politics of remembering, in Yoneyama's analysis, is constituted by multiple and contradictory senses of time, space, and positionality, elements that have been profoundly conditioned by late capitalism and intensifying awareness of post-Cold War and postcolonial realities.Hiroshima Traces, besides clarifying the discourse surrounding this unforgotten catastrophe, reflects on questions that accompany any attempts to recover marginalized or silenced experiences. At a time when historical memories around the globe appear simultaneously threatening and in danger of obliteration, Yoneyama asks how acts of remembrance can serve the cause of knowledge without being co-opted and deprived of their unsettling, self-critical qualities.Twentieth-century Japan ;10.HISTORY / Asia / GeneralbisacshHiroshima-shi (Japan)HistoryBombardment, 1945acts of war.american history.atomic.bombing.colonial.colonialism.culture.disaster.ethnicity.hiroshima.japanese history.korean.memory.modern world.nuclear bomb.nuclear war.peace.race.racism.ruins.social history.social studies.terrorism.tragedy.true story.united states history.us history.war and peace.wartime.world history.wwii.HISTORY / Asia / General.940.54/25Yoneyama Lisa1959-662653MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789648503321Hiroshima traces1297786UNINA
