	LINGUIST List 5.1195: Mandarin Chinese, American Accent, Word Order, Albanian
		Is it thought that the recorded sound media (records, movies, etc.) have placed a fixation effect on the locking in of our accents in English, or "Standard English?" Chunking back another 60 years would bring us back to 1870; another, to 1810; and another, to 1750.
		I understand the English used to say it the way Americans now say it.
		One of my main interests is the Albanian language and culture, but I haven't been able to find much information about how the language works - the only Albanian I know was gleaned from a very basic language course and is meant, I think, for tourists.

	UHM English :: Courses
		As we compare African Americans' and American Indians' histories of slavery and colonization, we will survey key laws and legislation passed in the United States that contribute to the three kinds of death and the criminalization that Gilmore discusses.
		Gilmore argues that due to the history of racism in the United States, African Americans and other people of color are not only criminalized, but have experienced and continue to experience inordinately high rates of premature death.
		We also will consider what means of resistance the texts offer to forms of death and criminalization--either through the lives of those whom they represent in their works, and/or through the act of writing itself.
