Hans Ester en Chris van der Merwe het albei lang loopbaan as letterkundiges agter die rug, die een in Suid-Afrika, die ander in Nederland. Albei is ook toegewyde Christene. In 2013 begin hierdie twee vriende aan mekaar skryf oor lewensvrae wat voortspruit uit hul gedeelde hartstog vir die Bybel en die letterkunde. Aktuele temas kom aan bod, soos "Tussen wanhoop en hoop", "Om Isak te offer" en "Bybel, diskussie, lees en herlees". Geen tema word egter uitgeput nie; die tweegesprek prikkel die leser tot verdere nadenke.

"Teksredaksie is 'n baie welkome en uiters nuttige Afrikaanse handboek gemik op die byeenbring van die jongste insigte in teksversorging en die opleiding van taalpraktisyns. "Hierdie kombinasie van teoretiese besinning en verantwoording met 'n duidelik gepaardgaande praktykgerigtheid is werklik uniek en behoort ongetwyfeld die bruikbaarheid van die boek in velerlei opleidingskontekste te verseker." - Prof Anne-Marie Beukes Hoof van Departement Linguistiek en Literatuurwetenskap, Universiteit van Johannesburg.

Sharing certain assumptions but differing in theory and practice, both Columbia School linguistics (CS) and Cognitive Grammar (CG) have increasingly supported their analyses with quantitative evidence. Citation of individual sentences, in isolation or in context, has been supplemented with counts of linguistic forms in texts, informant questionnaires, and perception tests. The present volume, continuing a dialogue between CS and CG, offers six such qualitative-quantitative studies, one on Afrikaans and five on Dutch. Topics include (a) demonstratives, (b) pragmatic particles and imperatives, (c) a puzzling “dismissive” idiom, (d) progressive aspect, and (e) indirect objects. While CS is better suited for analyzing relatively closed systems (e.g. tense, pronouns), CG provides more insight into the vagaries of the amorphous lexicon. The author also offers personal remarks on “linguistics as a path” and discusses how in one case a wrong prediction reflects his dual role as both linguist and student of Dutch as a foreign language.

"This book examines the shifting moral and spiritual lives of white Afrikaners in South Africa after apartheid. The end of South Africa's apartheid system of racial and spatial segregation sparked wide-reaching social change as social, cultural, spatial and racial boundaries were transgressed and transformed. This book investigates how Afrikaners have mediated the country's shifting boundaries within the realm of religion. For instance, one in every three Afrikaners used these new freedoms to leave the traditional Dutch Reformed Church (NGK), often for an entirely new religious affiliation within the Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, or new religious movements such as Wiccan neopaganism. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Western Cape area, the book investigates what spiritual life after racial totalitarianism means for the members of the ethnic group that constructed and maintained that very totalitarianism. Ultimately, the book asks how these new Afrikaner religious practices contribute to social solidarity and integration in a persistently segregated society, and what they can tell us about racial relations in the country today. This book will be of interest to scholars of religious and cultural anthropology and African studies"--
