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!HODA BARAKATS SAYYIDI WA HABIBIThe Authorized Abridged Edition for Students of ArabicLaila Familiar, Editor
Sayyidi wa Habibi (My Master and My Lover), a novel by acclaimed Lebanese author Hoda Barakat, is abridged in this volume for learners of Arabic at the advanced low proficiency level. This supplementary text adds variety and fun to a regular course on Arabic, and it is complete with exercises in order to guide learners, improve their Arabic skills, and increase knowledge of Arabic culture.
LAILA FAMILIAR is a lecturer in Arabic at the Univer-sity of Texas at Austin, has taught language and con-tent-based courses in several renowned programs of Arabic, and was director of the Arabic Summer Insti-tute at the University of Texas at Austin, 201213.

She worked as a teacher, translator, and journalist during the Leb-anese Civil War, and it is during this war that her later novels are set. Her works have won several awards, including the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature.
An indispensible tool for Arabic instruc-tors who want to expose their students to literature in their first few years of study. I would also recommend it highly to independent learners of Arabic who have already achieved the appropriate level.Christopher Stone, associate professor of Arabic, Department of Classical and Oriental Studies, Hunter College
VALUE-ADDED CONTENT!Audio files of Hoda Barakat reading five passages from the abridged text of Sayyidi wa Habibi, along with a recorded interview conducted with Barakat by Laila Familiar, are available at no charge on the Press web site in order to help students improve their listening skills.

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 SENSLa prononciation du franais en contexteAnne Violin-Wigent, Jessica Miller, and Frdrique Grim
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.

The publication of the first edition of this book filled an important gap. The second edition not only updates references but also includes two new chapters on laboratory phonology and intonation that are very welcome. 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.

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

Expanded self-correcting exercises are also available online, making Gramtica para la composicin one of the most valuable textbooks available for advanced students of Spanish.
