Greetings from Georgetown Languages!We speak your language. We are excited to add new languages to our growing list, includ-ing Hindi, Russian, advanced ESL, and Dari, along with exciting new titles in French, Spanish, and Arabic. Here are some of the highlights.With Mastering Russian Through Global Debate and Mastering English Through Global Debate (pages 2829), we introduce a new collection for teaching advanced learners using global debate. These titles can be used in individual classrooms or in teletandum learning situations, where teachers arrange for students to meet using Skype or other methods to improve their language skills while practicing the same debate topics. An ebook on this methodology, Teaching Advanced Language Skills Using Global Debate, is also forthcoming. Look for additional languages for global debate soon. A new title joins the Al-Kitaab family! Teachers and learners who prefer spoken Lebanese can use Haki bil-Libnani: Lebanese Arabic Textbook and Companion Website to Al-Kitaab Part One, Third Edition (page 4), available as a stand-alone website or in a bundle packaged with the Al-Kitaab Part One textbook. Hindi: A Complete Course (page 12) pairs with our textbook for learning Urdu (page 13) so that both languages can be taught side-by-side; we also add Dari: An Elementary Textbook (page 11) to our growing list of Central Asian languages. In our ongoing effort to offer students and teachers more purchasing options, we now have product bundles for many of our titles, combining items and providing a small dis-count. Titles with new bundles include Al-Kitaab Third Edition books (page 4), Pashto (page 14), and Tajiki (page 16). In addition, we add new titles in Spanish linguistics and language methodology. We hope you will stop by our booth at one of the many conferences we will attend this year and encourage you to be in touch with us about your teaching and learning needs! Hope LeGro David G.

New!USING NUMBERS IN ARABICJamal Ali

Using Numbers in Arabic is an in-valuable reference for the inter-mediate to advanced learner of Arabic. The proper use of numbers can often be perplexing for students of the Arabic language. While most Arabic grammars and textbooks include a chapter or discussion on the topic, that coverage is inadequate for serious students, scholars, and researchers. This guide shows the reader, using clear explanations and examples, exactly how to use cardinal and ordinal numbers in Arabic, from one to the billions and be-yond. Each entry features a brief descrip-tion in English followed by examples in Arabic from actual written and recorded texts; each example is also accompanied by an English translation. All informa-tion is based on real-world practice, with helpful citations from literature and media to illustrate each principle. In a second section, the author covers useful number-related topics, such as dates, times, fractions, decimals, and percentages, as

Sons et sens succeeds effortlessly in the nearly impossible endeavor of informing the learner of dialectal and social variation in contemporary spoken French through the teaching of some of the most difficult technical skills of French pronunciationZsuzsanna Fagyal-Le Mentec, Department of French, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Sons et sens is a beautiful mix of modern French culture and phonetics that both students and instructors will adore. The exercises and explanations make phonetics more than just fun; they make the subject immediately relevant. This book will without doubt become the new standard text for applied French phonetics courses.Nathan Owens, professor, French and applied phonetics, Old Dominion University

Sons et sens is an instant reference for students seeking to improve their French accent and instructors aiming to help them do so. No other textbook combines this level of detail with clear, concise explanations and naturalistic, contextualized pronunciation practice. Very highly recommended.Christopher Stewart, assistant professor of French linguistics, University of Texas-Arlington

ANNE VIOLIN-WIGENT is associate professor of French at Michigan State University.

JESSICA MILLER is associate professor of French at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

FRDRIQUE GRIM is associate professor of French at Colorado State University.

Sons et sens presents a unique cultural approach to French pronunciation for English-speaking students. Each chapter presents a new cultural topic, such as the French education system, vernacular French, and cooking in the francophone world, in order to enhance students pronunciation skills within the con-text of French and francophone culture. Phonetic explanations and rules throughout the textbook are anchored in recent research on French phonology, reflecting contemporary French as well as elements of non-standard variation from around the francophone world. The authors approach derives from current research on second language acquisition and pedagogy as well as contempo-rary research on French linguisticsespecially sociolinguistics. The textbooks fifteen chapters include a variety of exercises on sound discrimination, rule formulation, phonetic reading and transcriptions, and conversations. The accompanying DVD pro-vides about 200 sound files and several video files showing how sounds are formed with the body. A teachers edition contains additional materials, including comments and answers keyed to the student text. Perfect for 3rd year students, Sons et sens should appeal to instructors and students of college-level pronunciation and phonetics courses and serve as a valuable reference in a variety of courses where pronunciation is of importance. The book will also interest students with some background in French who want to perfect their pronunciation on their own.

All university libraries should have this book; it can be used in Spanish phonology courses of different levels and it is also a useful tool for researchers.Eullia Bonet, professor of linguistics, Autonomous University of Barcelona

A welcome, much-improved second edition of a work already classic in the field.Iggy Roca, professor of languages and linguistics, University of Essex

Fonologa generativa contempornea de la lengua espaola, in its extensively revised and updated second edition, shows how recent theoretical and methodological advances have enhanced our understanding of Spanish phonology. Written completely in Spanish, the volume introduces the latest concepts and principles of phonological analysis and applies these theories to the study of the Spanish language. New chapters on intona-tion and laboratory phonology, expanded coverage of optimality theory, exercises and readings, and a glossary of linguistic terminology make it an essential reference for scholars of Spanish linguistics and required reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of Spanish.

Students of advanced Spanish share a desire to use and understand the language, even as their backgrounds and goals for the language may vary widely. En otras palabras pro-vides advanced learners of Spanish with hands-on manipulation of grammatical, lexical, and cultural detail through the practice of translation (traduccin). This challenging and enjoyable text-booknow in its second edition with up-to-date texts on current events, new exercises, and new and expanded instructions presents students with incisive grammar explanation, rele-vant lexical information, and a wide variety of translation texts and exercises in order to increase their mastery of the Spanish language.

Both activities provide advanced students of Spanish with an invigorating linguistic workout and serve as an effective introduction to the practice of translation.Translation is a cultural as well as a linguistic activity; for stu-dents, learning how to translate provides invaluable experience of the inseparability of language and culture. En otras palabras addresses the errors made by advanced learners of Spanish while involving students in the pleasurable, problem-solving process of translation. This second edition contains a wide variety of usage-based exercises for both individual and group work. Concise and complete texts feature narrative and description, marketing and publicity materials, medical and legal topics, sports journalism, and internet posts.En otras palabras is designed for a three-credit semester class.

INTRODUCCIN A LA HISTORIA DE LA LENGUA ESPAOLAsegunda edicinMelvyn C. Resnick and Robert M. Hammond

ISBN 978-1-58901-732-0, paper, $39.95 / 27.75

Introduccin a la historia de la lengua espaola is a comprehensive intro-duction to the internal and external history of the Spanish language from its Indo-European ancestry to the present-day language of over 400 million people. The authors examine the phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and lexical changes that characterize the evo-lution of Spanish from its Latin origins. But Spanish has not evolved in isolation in its spread across Spain and to Africa, the Americas, Asia, and islands of the Pacific Ocean. The foreign, sociological, and political influences that contribute to the uniqueness, diversity, and unity of a world language are essential aspects of the study of its history.This book includes numerous exercises, a section of study questions at the end of each chapter, an appendix of selections from old texts, and an extensive bibliog-raphy. The second edition is updated and

greatly expanded in scope and depth, yet it carefully maintains the structure and pedagogical approach of the first edition for use with students who have no prior background in linguistics. In advanced and graduate-level courses, the syllabus can incorporate additional assignments and sections, including the optional Temas y datos adicionales that accompany each chapter.

An outstanding new edition of a classic work with many enhancements, including an updated bibliography, a new section in each chapter designed to add extra material if used in a graduate course, and completely revamped exercises. This vol-ume is an outstanding choice for anyone planning to teach a course in History of the Spanish language.Frank Nuessel, University of Louisville
