"This is the first full-length study of South African English youth literature to cover the entire period of its publication, from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. What gives this book particular strength is its coverage of literature up to the 1960s, which has until now recieved almost no scholarly attention. Not only is this earlier literature a rewarding subject for study in itself, but it also throws light on subsequent literary developments. Jenkins also makes comparisons with American, Canadian and Australian children's literature. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand children's literature in the context of adult South African literature and South African cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.

This scholarly reference work is also an entertaining guide to the English spoken in South Africa. It includes forms of English that are peculiarly South African, as well as words adopted from Afrikaans, African and Khoisan languages, and from local Malay, Indian and Jewish communities. The fourth edition reflects the beginning of a new era in South Africa, and contains quotations from a wide variety of sources, including Steve Biko and Nelson Mandela, among many others.

After the growth of English and American dialectology since the 1930's and the expansion of sociolinguistics since the 1960's, the study of 'world English' has emerged in recent years to join these other disciplines. This bibliography is intended to reflect what has been achieved in this area and to serve as an indispensible research tool for further investigations. The bibliography is divided into three parts, each one is preceded by a preface which explains the procedures followed and each of the sections is followed by an index. It classifies the items according to specific areas, ethnic groups, or similar topics.

This work aims to provide the most comprehensive bibliography in the domain of Sociolinguistics and in the field of language planning. The 640-page publication gives access to a large percentage of the published literature via a sophisticated thesaurus. As the title indicates, Africa, and specifically southern Africa, is covered in great detail. Sources on the history and development of the languages of Namibia and Zimbabwe have been included. Apart from sources on the languages of Africa, the bibliography also offers a comprehensive overview on topics such as language conflict, language decline, language development, and language rights, as well as a section on translations and interpreting. The categorisation of sources is intended to stimulate researchers and postgraduate students, and this makes the bibliography an indispensable tool for librarians and senior academics.
