{"product_id":"a-study-of-address-terms-von-joseph-benjamin-archibald-afful","title":"A Study of Address Terms","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the last three decades scholars in  sociolinguistics have shown considerable interest in  address terms in various contexts, with sub-Saharan  Africa not featured much in these sociolinguistic  studies. This book, therefore, presents a  comprehensive description of the relationship  between address terms on one hand and socio-cultural  context on the other hand, using an ethnographic  research approach consisting of semi-structured  interviews, observation, and field notes. Three  speech communities (a public university and two less  urban communities) in Cape Coast, a former capital  and a tourist hub in Ghana, constituted the research  site. The book, first, shows that nine categories of  address terms constitute the lexicon interlocutors  in the selected communities use in their interactive  encounters. Second, the differences in the use of  these address terms were dictated by such variables  as gender, formality, and age. Given the wave of  globalization sweeping across the world, this work  should enhance intercultural communication. The work  also has implications for the scholarship on  onosmatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838387970\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Case of Three Speech Communities in Ghana\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838387970","offer_id":39498879664221,"sku":"9783838387970","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b75d82d4-fec7-4534-8483-40f27db98e8f.jpg?v=1776320662","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/a-study-of-address-terms-von-joseph-benjamin-archibald-afful","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
