 Do the Ga Face 'Extinction'?
And whether or not GRI claimed that the Ga are an endangered species, the fact remains that the fear of *extinction* has of late been a topic of sometimes heated debate among the Ga, ranging from Accra to North America to Europe.
And since language, to paraphrase a Busia-era parliamentarian during a debate over the adoption of a national language, is the temple that embodies the soul and the customs of a people, the decline and possible extinction of the Ga language becomes a matter of grave concern to the Ga people.
The Ga issue is therefore not so much one of a deliberate cultural plot by *foreigners* to snuff out another's language, but rather the inevitable consequence a demographic phenomenon born of the rational pursuit of economic opportunity by Ghanaians from different parts of the country.

 The Statesman : : We need diversity in local language radio
Local language radio, “may be compromising the education of disadvantaged children by intensifying the discontinuity between the language of the home and English language,” he wrote.
African language radio stations are of undeniable value to a new but burgeoning democracy, to a people not all of whom are conversant with the 'official" language even, for a Government and Establishment in need of disseminating information and education in such a way that everyone can understand.
Provision of local language media is another means by which Ghanaians can gain a better understanding of their people and their country; and this is something which we must begin to prioritise.

 Chronicles of Love & Resentment CLXVI
The point of the originary hypothesis is not to present a particular scenario for the origin of language, but to propose the necessity of a public scene of origin, of an event that originates the function of human language to memorialize events.
The origin of language is also the origin of religion, art, in a word, "culture," and gradualist hypotheses or those that begin from private, local communications have even less plausibility in explaining the public scene of human culture than that of language.
Aside from gradualist non-explanations of the emergence of language in the wake of human cognitive development, no one has formulated a plausible hypothesis of the birth of language, let alone for its coincidence with religion, which (in the guise of "symbolic activity") is nonetheless, ironically enough, the sole archaeological criterion for the presence of language.

 Center for Language Acquisiton at Penn State University
The project is designed to compile a pilot corpus of Persian language data (both oral and written) and to analyze grammatical and pragmatic features using a combined theoretical/methodological approach of corpus, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and cognitive linguistics.
The goals of the corpus-based study and the pedagogical materials designed therefrom are to help students and teachers develop a keener sensitivity to situated language use and to ultimately begin to re-conceptualize the notion of grammatical/pragmatic rule—one that is rooted in interpersonal meaning and grounded in cultural preferences.
The overall goal was to examine speakers' use of language as they discuss the various topics related to school bullying and to analyze how and to what degree language expresses stance and perspective on this issue of extreme social importance in all three countries.

Burmese, along with Tibetan, the dominant language of Tibet, is one of the two most important languages of the Tibeto-Burman branch, which includes an undetermined number of smaller languages spoken in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Burma/Myanmar, northern and western Thailand, and the Yunnan and Sichuan (Szechwan) provinces of China (Ehrhardt, 1998).
To refer to the language, /b?-ma/ or /myan-ma/ are followed by the suffixes - /z?-gà/ "spoken language or /za/ "written language"; thus /myan-ma z?-gà/ and /b?-ma z?-gà/; or /b?-ma za/ and /Myan-ma za/.
As the spoken language evolved over the centuries (Modern Burmese is considered to have assumed its current form by the end of the 16th century) written language did not change in parallel.

 CREMATIONS AND GA
This ordinance language allows the GA administrator to issue the amount of General Assistance provided in the ordinance to cover a cremation, rather than a burial, when there are no known family members.
The fact that the GA ordinance governs the municipality’s financial exposure with respect to the disposition of certain deceased indigents rather than ordering their cremation is sometimes lost in the actual administration of the program.
GA administrators should be careful to distinguish the difference between their financial decision (authorizing a certain level of payment to the funeral director) and ordering cremations under such circumstances.

 The Goedel Programming Language
Gödel is a declarative, general-purpose programming language in the family of logic programming languages.
It is a strongly typed language, the type system being based on many-sorted logic with parametric polymorphism.
The declarative nature of Gödel greatly eases the task of building a parallel implementation of the language (compared to Prolog, for example, whose non-logical facilities cause serious difficulties for parallel implementations) and offers substantial scope for parallelization in such implementations.
