Language PolicyDavid Cassels Johnson, University of Iowa, USA "Language Policy is a comprehensive and authoritative contribution to the field. It deals with all of the complexity and challenges of conducting research in LP while never losing sight of the fact that an important goal of LPP research is to promote social justice. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of the field, research methods, examples of model projects, as well as critiques and limitations of methods and theories. In the end, this is a masterful account of an important field of scholarly inquiry rendered in clear accessible prose. This is a major contribution to the field of language policy and planning and should be required reading for serious scholars and practitioners in the language sciences." -

Linguistic Minorities in Democratic ContextColin H Williams, School of Welsh, Cardiff University, UK "Linguistic Minorities in Democratic Context will undoubtedly quickly become a classic in language policy literature. It presents a finely-balanced account of principles in language management, and shows how these have worked out in the major cases of the Celtic languages, the Spanish autonomous regions, and Canada. The wealth of detail of legislative and bureaucratic activities balances the sensitive analysis of competing theories, and supports Williams' argument for a holistic approach to understanding sociolinguistic ecology." – Bernard Spolsky, Bar-Ilan University, Israel This blends discussion of the role of language minorities in

politics with examples of language policy in a range of national contexts. It discusses minority rights and language protection, the policies of the state in privileging powerful majorities, the opportunities and challenges of both devolution and globalization.

Edited by Thomas Baldwin, University of Kent, UK, James Fowler, University of Kent, UK, Ana de Medeiros, University of Kent, UK "Questions of Influence is a major contribution to, and updating of, our understanding of the ways in which 'influence' works not only in literature but also in other art-forms, and in relationships between these.

This collection engages with questions of influence, a vexed and problematic concept whose intellectual history is both

ancient and vast. It examines a range of texts written in French, sometimes in dialogue with visual/musical works, drawn mainly from the eighteenth century onwards. Connections are made with related work in a range of disciplines.

Varieties of ToneFrege, Dummett and the Shades of Meaning

Richard Kortum, East Tennessee State University, USA

In clear and lively prose that avoids jargon, the author carefully and systematically examines the many kinds of subtly nuanced words or word-pairs of everyday discourse such as 'and'-'but', 'before'-'ere', 'Chinese'-'Chink', and 'sweat'-'perspiration', that have proven resistant to truth-conditional explanations of meaning.

GENERAL LINGUISTICS

Humanities in the Twenty-First CenturyBeyond Utility and Markets

Edited by Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK, Anna Upchurch, University of Leeds, UK "The book is beautifully written and edited, allowing the reader to relax and enjoy the experience of following an intense, academic debate, whilst its hard, critical edge skewers economic triumphalism on its own inconsistencies. This makes Humanities in the 21st Century both a compelling call to humanities scholars to reclaim the public value debate, as well as setting a demanding standard for others wanting to participate in that debate." - Paul Benneworth, LSE Review of BooksThis collection of essays by scholars with expertise in a range of fields, cultural professionals and policy makers explores different ways in which the arts and humanities

contribute to dealing with the challenges of contemporary society in ways that do not rely on simplistic and questionable notions of socio-economic impact as a proxy for value.

This new study argues that modernist literature is characterised by a 'multilingual turn'.

British Pronoun Use, Prescription, and ProcessingLinguistic and Social Influences Affecting 'They' and 'He'

Laura Paterson, University of Leeds, UK

This study considers the use of they and he for generic reference in post-2000 written British English. The analysis is framed by a consideration of language-internal factors, such as syntactic agreement, and language-external factors, which include traditional grammatical prescriptivism and the language reforms resulting from second-wave feminism.

Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian FictionDaria Tunca, University of Liège, Belgium"In discussing both well-known and less familiar writers who belong to the 'post-Achebean' generation of Nigerian writing from the perspective of what she terms 'African stylistics', Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction fills a notable gap in research. This book is distinguished by the author's concern to relate stylistic analysis to social and cultural specificities, by her exemplary exposition of the theories to which she has recourse, and by an eloquent lightness of touch that makes reading her work a pleasure. Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction deserves recognition in the wider field of post-colonial writing." – Professor Geoffrey Davis, RWTH Aachen University, Germany

Drawing on the discipline of stylistics, this book introduces a series of methodological tools and applies them to works by well-known Nigerian writers, including Abani, Adichie and Okri. In doing so, it demonstrates how attention to form fosters understanding of content in their work, as well as in African and postcolonial literatures more widely.

Contents: Introduction * 1. Towards an ‘African Stylistics’? Historiographical and Methodological Considerations * 2. Of Palm Oil and Wafers: Characterization in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus * 3. ’The Other Half of the Sun’: Ideology in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun * 4. Art is a Journey: Metaphor in Ben Okri’s The Landscapes Within and Dangerous Love * 5. ‘Bi-textual’ Poetics: Investigating Form in Chris Abani’s Becoming Abigail * 6. Children at War: Language and Representation in Uzodinma Iweala’s Beasts of No Nation and Chris Abani’s Song for Night * Conclusion * Bibliography * Index

Sten Vikner and Eva Engels, both at Aarhus University, Denmark

Contents: PART I: OBJECT SHIFT * 1. Introduction * 2. Object Shift * 3. Optimality Theory * 4. An Optimality Theory Analysis of Object Shift * 5. Conclusion * PART II: OBJECT SHIFT IN REMNANT VP-TOPICALISATION CONSTRUCTIONS * 6. Introduction * 7. V°-Topicalisation vs. Remnant VP-topicalisation
