Words We Use

PUPText’s first reference guide

This glossary provides an overview of the terms publishing professionals use in every department, from editorial to sales. In some cases, the language is similar in books and magazines, digital media, or comics, but may have a different meaning. This guide includes those differences. The words used in publishing and media are a distinct and essential part of our ability to communicate with each other. Language is not static and the language in publishing has grown, changed, and continues to evolve in our digital world. The industry has progressed digitally and some of the language that has developed along with that growth is included here. You will find words new and old, common usage, and more esoteric terms reflecting new digital realities.

Transactions 24

The 42nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Fellows of Dyson College kicked off with a morning plenary panel, showcasing the work of four students from programs as far afield as English Language and Literature, Biology, Philosophy, and Psychology. Together, all these works offer a glimpse of the exciting research and writing (and performing) that undergraduate students have engaged in across the fine arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences at Pace in the past year.

Journal of the Early Book Society 26

Including the articles “Books as Chapels” and “Academic Loans and Scholarly Networks in Late Medieval Oxford,” and “The Continued Instruction of Christian Women.”

The Journal of the Early Book Society for the Study of Manuscripts and Printing History (Journal of the Early Book Society (JEBS)) publishes several substantial articles in each volume with emphasis on the period of transition from manuscript to print. This annual’s main focus is on English and Continental works produced from 1350 to 1550.

Journal of Beat Studies 11

This volume’s critical essays are rich in scope. One essay revitalizes the evolutionary place of the poet Kenneth Rexroth, archival research on Kerouac’s ethnic and cultural origins in Brittany, Ginsberg’s committed engagement with the philosophical traditions of Indian civilization and The Beat Interview —published here for the first time—brings new perspectives to the art scene that flourished around San Francisco’s 6 Gallery, site of the celebrated reading of “Howl” in 1955.

Including the articles “Influence of the Linguistic Context on the Comprehension of
Complex Sentences” and “Twice-Exceptional Black girls.”
