The status of 'Standard English' has featured in linguistic, educational and cultural debates over decades. This second edition of Tony Crowley's wide-ranging historical analysis and lucid account of the complex and sometimes polarised arguments driving the debate brings us up to date, and ranges from the 1830s to Conservative education policies in the 1990s and on to the implications of the National Curriculum for English language teaching in schools. Students and researchers in literacy, the history of English language, cultural theory, and English language education will find this treatment comprehensive, carefully researched and lively reading.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is an enabling technology that allows business to communicate on a computer to computer basis using pre-defined standards. EDI--CHARTING A COURSE TO THE FUTURE is written to explain this technology to those who need to have a practical foundation in understanding & using EDI. EDI enables companies to compete more effectively by allowing them to be more innovative while reducing costs & improving customer service. The last few years have been characterized by rapid changes in the information technologies used to support business activities. In spite of the fact that EDI is almost thirty years old, its acceptance & tremendous growth over this same period of technological change ratifies the faith of its early supporters. Today the majority of businesses worldwide have or are contemplating starting EDI programs. Over the next five years we expect to see the majority of business-to-business documents being transmitted electronically via EDI standards within the United States. The author is one of the early supporters of EDI & brings his unique perspective to this exciting & rapidly growing enabling technology.
