Li Wei – författare

Including detailed discussions of both the current state and future directions of the field, this comprehensive textbook presents a complete overview of multilingualism.

Written by internationally recognized researchers and educators, Understanding Multilingualism: An Introduction provides detailed coverage of the various dimensions of modern multilingualism. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the field by exploring the broad spectrum of different sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and neurocognitive approaches to the study of multilingualism.

The text begins by defining and clarifying the scope of multilingualism studies as a distinctive, interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Subsequent chapters discuss the historical development and theoretical models of multilingualism, how the brain processes multiple languages, the effect of multilingualism on human cognition, how multilingual processing changes over the human lifespan, societal management of multilingualism, multilingual education, and impact of technological advancement on multilingualism. The book concludes by addressing the prospect of a post-multilingual world and methodological issues in studying multilingualism.

Understanding Multilingualism: An Introduction is the perfect primary textbook for undergraduate courses in multilingualism and bilingualism, and an excellent resource for advanced students in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and foreign language education programs.

För dig som vill upptäcka translanguaging, ett nytt förhållningssätt till flerspråkighet och lärande ur både socialt och kognitivt perspektiv, är det här grundboken.

Ofelia Garcia och Li Wei beskriver i boken:

hur teorierna bakom flerspråkighet har utvecklats

hur translanguaging förhåller sig till tidigare teorier och modeller för språkinlärning och flerspråkighetsutveckling

hur translanguaging kan användas ur elevers perspektiv för inlärning såväl som ur lärares perspektiv för undervisning.

Translanguaging inspirerar och sammanfattar vad flerspråkighet kan bidra med som en undersökande, nyskapande och omskapande kraft. Den vänder sig till alla lärare och studenter med anknytning till svenska som andraspråk.

Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example, C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods.

Consisting of eight chapters, the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems, expression templates, and writing complex meta-functions, as well as such topics as:

Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming, the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional, which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed, and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs.

The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics, published in 2011, has long been a standard introduction and essential reference point to the broad interdisciplinary field of applied linguistics.

Reflecting the growth and widening scope of applied linguistics, this new edition thoroughly updates and expands coverage. It includes 27 new chapters, now consists of two complementary volumes, and covers a wide range of topics from a variety of perspectives. Volume One is organized into two sections – ''Language learning and language education'' and ''Key areas and approaches in applied linguistics – and Volume Two also two sections – ''Applied linguistics in society'' and ''Broadening horizons''.

Each volume includes 30 chapters written by specialists from around the world. Each chapter provides an overview of the history of the topic, the main current issues, recommendations for practice, and possible future trajectories. Where appropriate, authors discuss the impact and use of new research methods in the area. Suggestions for further reading and cross-references are provided with every chapter.

The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics remains the authoritative overview of this dynamic field and essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, scholars, and researchers of applied linguistics.
