Cultural-Linguistic Explorations into Spirituality, Emotionality, and Society
This book offers Cultural-Linguistic explorations into the diverse Lebenswelten of a wide range of cultural contexts, such as South Africa, Hungary, India, Nigeria, China, Romania, Iran, and Poland.

The analytical tools provided by Cultural Linguistics, such a…
The role of ethnically mixed marriages in language shift
As the foundation of homes, the marriage institution is an important agent of socialization. In this regard, marriage can be relied upon as a major factor in language and cultural maintenance. However, mixed marriages may contribute to language shift in the home because they can lead to a change in language use patterns among minority language speakers and their children. This means that the likelihood of preserving a minority language is greater…

An account of distinctive phonetic and lexical features of Gambian English
The article discusses the specific features of the English used in The Gambia by looking at the phonetic and lexical markers that distinguish Gambian English from the other national varieties of West African English. The study shows that Gambian English has a number of established and exclusive features owing to the formation of a national norm and the influence of certain indigenous languages, yielding a national quasi-standard easy to identify

Identifying regional and national orin of English-speaking Africans seeking asylum in German
Faced with the influx of asylum seekers without reliable identification, some European countries have started to resort to the analysis of spoken texts produced by the applicants to trace their true origins. This has triggered a hot debate among politicians, non-governmental organizations and academics. Ethical and scientific considerations are the two main poles of the debate. On the scientific front, the question is whether it is possible to de…
An Academy in Transition
This paper analyzes the transformation of East Germany's R&D system in the unification period after 1989. East Germany's transformation process was more profound and rapid than those in the other formerly communist countries: the difference lay in the fact that it moved alongside a complete institutional model (the West German) which gave the process a clear direction. This paper briefly describes the transformation at an institutional level, but…
