This 2006-2007 edition was prepared under the supervision of Osvaldo Kacef, Officer-in-Charge of the Division; Jürgen Weller was responsible for its overall coordination. In the preparation of this edition, the Economic Development Division was assisted by the Statistics and Economic Projections Division, the Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES), the Division of International Trade and Integration, the ECLAC subregional headquarters in Mexico City and Port of Spain and the country offices of the Commission in Bogotá, Brasilia, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Chapter I, “Regional overview”, was prepared by Osvaldo Kacef with input from Omar Bello, Rodrigo Cárcamo, Filipa Correia, Juan Pablo Jiménez, Rafael López Monti, Sandra Manuelito, Andrew Mold and Jürgen Weller. The Economic Projections Centre of the Statistics and Economic Projections Division provided inputs on the outlook for economic growth in 2007 and 2008. Chapters II and III, “Investment, saving and growth in Latin America: Analytical and policy issues” and “Economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean: Multiple growth transitions rather than steady states” are based on papers by Mario Gutiérrez, ECLAC consultant. Chapter IV, “Reflections of economic growth of Latin America and the Caribbean” was written by Omar Bello with the collaboration of Alejandra Acevedo and Filipa Correia. The country reports are based on studies conducted by the following experts: Olga Lucía Acosta and María Alejandra Botiva (Colombia), Dillon Alleyne (Jamaica), Omar Bello (Bolivia), Bineswaree Bolaky (Barbados), Adrián Bratescu (Costa Rica and Nicaragua), Rudolf Buitelaar (Belize and, with Stefan Edwards, Bahamas), Rodrigo Cárcamo (Ecuador), Filipa Correia (Paraguay), Karel Ekhorst (Suriname), Álvaro Fuentes (Uruguay), Randolph Gilbert (Haiti), Víctor Godínez (Dominican Republic), Michael Hendrickson (Guyana and Eastern Caribbean Currency Union), Daniel Heymann and Adrián Ramos (Argentina), Luis Felipe Jiménez (Chile), Sandra Manuelito (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela), José Octavio Martínez (Panama), Jorge Mattar (Mexico), Guillermo Mundt (Guatemala and Honduras), Carlos Mussi (Brazil), Igor Paunovic (Cuba), Juan Carlos Rivas (El Salvador) and Jürgen Weller (Peru). The note on Trinidad and Tobago was prepared by ECLAC subregional headquarters for the Caribbean. Alejandra Acevedo, Vianka Aliaga and Jazmín Chiu were responsible for the processing and presentation of the statistical data. Gloria Bensan and Juan José Pereira checked the consistency of data and texts and provided observations concerning various chapters of the publication, while the secretarial work was carried out by Maritza Agar.

The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

  • A Guide to Names and Naming Practices
    March 2006 AA GGUUIIDDEE TTOO NN AAMMEESS AANNDD NNAAMMIINNGG PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS This guide has been produced by the United Kingdom to aid with difficulties that are commonly encountered with names from around the globe. Interpol believes that member countries may find this guide useful when dealing with names from unfamiliar countries or regions. Interpol is keen to provide feedback to the authors and at the same time develop this guidance further for Interpol member countries to work towards standardisation for translation, data transmission and data entry. The General Secretariat encourages all member countries to take advantage of this document and provide feedback and, if necessary, updates or corrections in order to have the most up to date and accurate document possible. A GUIDE TO NAMES AND NAMING PRACTICES 1. Names are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender, marital status, birthplace, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and position within a family or even within a society. However, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. The aim of this guide is to identify the knowledge that can be gained from names about their holders and to help overcome difficulties that are commonly encountered with names of foreign origin. 2. The sections of the guide are governed by nationality and/or ethnicity, depending on the influencing factor upon the naming practice, such as religion, language or geography. Inevitably, this guide is not exhaustive and any feedback or suggestions for additional sections will be welcomed. How to use this guide 4. Each section offers structured guidance on the following: a. typical components of a name: e.g.
