Translingual Words is a detailed case study on lexical integration, or mediation, occurring between East Asian languages and English(es). In Part I, specific examples from global linguistic corpora are used to discuss the issues involved in lexical interaction between East Asia and the English-speaking world. Part II explores the spread of East Asian words in English, while Part III discusses English words which can be found in East Asian languages. Translingual Words presents a novel approach on hybrid words by challenging the orthodox ideas on lexical borrowing and explaining the dynamic growth of new words based on translingualism and transculturalism.

Excerpt from The Duties of Parents: A Discourse, Preached in Christ Church, Cincinnati, January 17, 1831 Phil. To be as bad as myself? I'm black enough, God knows! But, though, my beloved hearers, there are few pa rents, however had, who do not wish their children to be better than they themselves aref - yet, is it not too true, that most even of Christian fathers and mothers, do not fe'el as they ought the solemn responsibility which the parental relation devolves upon them? Hence the la mentable extent to which the duties of. Parents are ne glected, or very imperfectly performed. And could that fearful amount of sin and misery, which every where burdens, and pollutes, and oppresses the human family, be traced to its legitimate sources, much the largest por tion, I am persuaded, would be found to have originated in parental folly and negligence. Were this fountain of evil once thoroughly purified, our world would speedily present a far diflerent and happier aspect. 'doubtless many of you desire to bring about so goodly a result. And to such I would say that, in this-case, as well as in most other efforts to benefit society, it is best and indeed absolutely necessary (if we would accomplish much) to begin with ourselves: - and therefore, equally for my own sake, and yours, I now ask your attention to these words of holy scripture Bring them up, i. E. Your children, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
