In-depth ethnographic details and introspective commentary are skilfully interwoven throughout Simon-Maeda’s narrative of her experiences as an American expatriate who arrived in Japan in 1975 – the starting point of her being and becoming a speaker of Japanese. The book joins the recent surge in postmodernist, interdisciplinary approaches to examining language acquisition, and readers are presented with a highly convincing case for using autoethnography to better understand sociolinguistic complexities that are unamenable to quantification of isolated variables. The comprehensive literature review and wide ranging references provide a valuable source of information for researchers, educators, and graduate students concerned with current issues in SLA/applied linguistics, bi/multilingualism, and Japanese as a second language.Second language acquisition (Clevedon, England)Japanese languageStudy and teachingSecond language acquisitionStudy and teachingJapanese languageStudy and teaching.Second language acquisitionStudy and teaching.495.6/8071Simon-Maeda Andrea1951-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911152668803321UNINA03951nam 2200733Ia 450 991114288220332120260415134152.097866118142819781281814289128181428897805674930190567493016(CKB)1000000000542280(EBL)436512(OCoLC)276783299(SSID)ssj0000190235(PQKBManifestationID)12009431(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000190235(PQKBWorkID)10166630(PQKB)10909746(MiAaPQ)EBC436512(Au-PeEL)EBL436512(CaPaEBR)ebr10250565(CaONFJC)MIL181428(OCoLC)893334136(Perlego)803809(EXLCZ)99100000000054228019981119d1998 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLeading captivity captive 'the exile' as history and ideology /edited by Lester L.

The entity known as 'the Exile' has had an extremely forceful influence in Old Testament scholarship, both as an event and as a symbol. But was there an 'Exile'? And if so, how did it fit into the pattern of population deportations that characterized the imperial strategies of the ancient Near East? In a major methodological discussion of this issue, the contributors to this symposium of the European Seminar in Historical Methodology cover a range of topics, from ancJournal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;278.European seminar in historical methodology ;2.JewsHistoryBabylonian captivity, 598-515 B.CBiblical teachingCongressesJewsHistoryBabylonian captivity, 598-515 B.CHistoriographyCongressesJewish diasporaHistoriographyCongressesJewsHistoryBiblical teachingJewsHistoryHistoriographyJewish diasporaHistoriography221.9/5222.1206Grabbe Lester L447465European Seminar on Methodology in Israel's History(2nd :1997 :Lausanne, Switzerland)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911142882203321Leading captivity captive4845619UNINA
