ISBN:  9780593298329 (hardcover) : 0593298322 (hardcover) : Description:  321 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "In Like, Literally, Dude, linguist Valerie Fridland argues that our most hated or confusing speech habits shape our conception of the world and our place in it in remarkable ways. With a mix of laugh-out-loud anecdotes and expertise built over two decades of research, Fridland helps us understand the history, cultural significance, and impact of how we speak today. We are all the products of centuries of linguistic progress, and the innovation hasn't stopped in our lifetimes. Writing in an accessible style and focusing on real-life examples, Fridland explains how filled pauses benefit both speakers and listeners when they're discussing new or tough topics; how the use of "dude" can help people bond across social divides; why we're always trying to make our intensifiers ever more intense; as well as many other language tics, habits, and developments. Language change is natural, built into the language system itself, and we wouldn't be who we are without it. This book will speak to anyone who talks, empowering them to communicate dynamically and effectively in their daily lives"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 420.141 Fridland Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 420.141 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
