Give Constructions across LanguagesEdited by Myriam BouveretUniversity of Rouen-Lattice ENS/CNRS/Paris3

This cognitive contrastive study of ten languages (Chinese, Dalabon, English, French, Spanish, Romanian, Kurdish, Khmer, Polish, Tibetan) focuses on the concept of giving from six main points of view, namely argument structure, lexical semantics and event structure, role marking in the three argument construction and in other constructions, lexicalization, grammaticalization and constructionaliza-tion of the verb from a cognitive construction grammar point of view, and central and extended meanings. It is pro-posed that a continuum approach to grammar and lexicon is needed in order to describe the typological and historical facts. The volume argues for a concrete and abstract transfer ‘cluster model’ involving coverage of lexical and grammati-cal extension or bleaching phenomena and that the semantic extensions (metaphorical and otherwise) exploit various portions of this schema. The volume is deeply anchored in the Cognitive Construction Grammar theoretical move-ment, and proposes analyses of constructional phenomena to illustrate a grammar to lexicon continuum, in synchrony and diachrony: language change, grammaticalization chains, constructionalization analysis, and an invariant hypothesis of giving as a basic activity in human cognition.

Romance Interrogative SyntaxFormal and typological dimensions of variation

Caterina BonanUniversity of Cambridge

This monograph offers an innovative understanding of the mechanisms involved in Romance ‘optional’ wh-in situ. New supporting evidence in favour of Cable’s (2010) Grammar of Q is presented, as well as novel implementations of his original theory. In particular, it is claimed that wh-in situ idi-oms are characterised not only by language-specific choices between QP-projection and Q-adjunction, and between overt and covert movement of Q , but also in terms of the locus where they check the features relevant to wh-questions: while some languages check both [q] and [focus] in C, others make use of the clause-internal vP-periphery to check [focus]. Thanks to the vast amount of data presented and discussed, along with the predictions and theoretical contributions made, this monograph will be of interest to a wide range of specialists in human language, from typologists to Romance specialists and formal syntacticians, but also to the many experts in languages with overt Q-particles who wonder why Romance specialists have long been so resistant to the imple-mentation of silent Q-particles in their theoretical models.

Constructions in Contact 2Language change, multilingual practices, and additional language acquisition

Edited by Hans C. Boas and Steffen HöderUniversity of Texas at Austin / Kiel University

The last few years have seen a steadily increasing interest in con-structional approaches to language contact. This volume builds on previous constructionist work, in particular Diasystematic Construction Grammar (DCxG) and the volume Constructions in Contact (2018) and extends its methodology and insights in three major ways. First, it presents new constructional research on a wide range of language contact scenarios including Afri-kaans, American Sign Language, English, French, Malayalam, Norwegian, Spanish, Welsh, and as well as contact scenarios that involve typologically different languages. Second, it also addresses other types of scenarios that do not fall into the classic language contact category, such as multilingual practices and language acquisition as emerging multilingualism. Third, it aims to integrate constructionist views on language contact and multilingualism with other approaches that focus on structural, social, and cognitive aspects. The volume demonstrates that Construction Grammar is a framework particularly well suited for analyzing a wide variety of language contact phenomena from a usage-based perspective.

“This volume is an inspir-ing example of the capacity of constructional approach-es to deal with complex lin-guistic data and theoretical problems. The papers unit-ed here apply constructional models to tackle unsolved questions in language contact and other multi-lingual constellations like second language acquistion and additional language acquisition. Taking up what has been achieved in the field of language change, the scope of constructional models is expanded to the investigation of diasystemic constructions. A highly wel-come and instructive read to everybody interested in the field!”Gabriele Diewald, Leibniz Universität Hannover

“This terrific volume calls attention to the importance of language contact in shaping the constructicon. The expert contributions showcase research which displays a number of inter-actions with other domains of enquiry in Construction Grammar. The book ad-dresses numerous topics in multilingualism, drawing on an impressively diverse range of language families. It will be of tremendous in-terest to anyone interested in usage-based approaches to linguistic diversity.”Graeme Trousdale, University of Edinburgh

Linguistic Categories, Language Description and Linguistic TypologyEdited by Luca Alfieri, Giorgio Francesco Arcodia and Paolo RamatUniversity of Studies Guglielmo Marconi / Ca’ Foscari University / University of Pavia

Few issues in the history of the language sciences have been an object of as much discussion and controversy as linguistic categories. The eleven articles included in this volume tackle the issue of categories from a wide range of perspectives and with different foci, in the context of the current debate on the nature and methodology of the research on comparative concepts – par-ticularly, the relation between the categories needed to describe languages and those needed to compare languages. While the first six papers deal with general theoretical questions, the fol-lowing five confront specific issues in the domain of language analysis arising from the application of categories. The volume will appeal to a very broad readership: advanced students and scholars in any field of linguistics, but also specialists in the philosophy of language, and scholars interested in the cognitive aspects of language from different subfields (neurolinguistics, cognitive sciences, psycholinguistics, anthropology).

LinguisticsUsage-based and Typological Approaches to Linguistic UnitsEdited by Tsuyoshi Ono, Ritva Laury and Ryoko SuzukiUniversity of Alberta / University of Helsinki / Keio University

The chapters in this volume focus on how we might understand the concept of ‘unit’ in human languages. It is an analytical notion that has been widely adopted by linguists of various theoretical and applied orienta-tions but has recently been critically examined by both typologically oriented and interactional linguistics. This volume contributes to and extends this discussion by examining the nature of units in actual usage in a range of genetically and typologically unrelated languages, English, Finnish, Indonesian, Japanese, and Mandarin, engaging with fundamental theoretical issues. The chapters show that categories originally created for the description of Indo-European languages have limited usefulness if our goal is to understand the nature of hu-man language in general. The authors thus question the status of traditionally accepted linguistic units, especially their static understanding as a priori entities, and suggest instead that an emergent and interactional view of both structure and function offers a better fit with the data from the languages examined. Originally published as special issue 43:2 (2019) of Studies in Language.

Pre-Historical Language Contact in Peruvian AmazoniaA dynamic approach to Shawi (Kawapanan)

Luis Miguel Rojas-BersciaUniversity of Queensland

South America was populated relatively recently, probably around 15,000 years ago. Yet, instead of finding a relatively small number of language families, we find some 118 genealogical units. So far, the historical processes that underlie the current picture are not yet fully understood. This book represents a preliminary attempt at understanding the socio-historical dy-namics behind language diversification in the region, focusing on the Kawapanan languages, particularly on Shawi. The book provides an introduction to the ideas behind the flux approach of Dynamic linguistics and later concentrates on prehistorical language contact, specifically in the northern Peruvian Andean sphere. The number of studies presented shed light on a layered picture in which a number of Kawapanan lects were used in non-polyglosic multilingual settings. The book explores the potential contact relationships between Kawapanan languages, Quechuan, Aymaran, Chachapuya, Cholón-Hibito, Arawak, Carib and Puelche. The analysis draws on data collected in the field over a period of eight years (2012-2020) with both Shawi and Shiwilu speakers and includes the first comprehensive grammar sketch of Shawi.

Morphologically Derived Adjectives in SpanishAntonio FábregasUiT-The Arctic University of Norway

This is the first book that presents a complete empirical description and theoretical analysis of all major classes of derived adjectives in Spanish, both deverbal and denomi-nal. The reader will find here both a detailed empirical description of the syntactic, morphological and semantic properties of derived adjectives in contemporary Span-ish and a cohesive Neo-Constructionist analysis of the syntactic and semantic tools that contemporary Spanish has available to build adjectives from other grammatical categories within a Nanosyntactic-oriented framework. In doing so, this book sheds light on the nature of adjec-tives as a grammatical category and argues that adjectives are syntactically built by recycling functional heads belonging to other categories. The book will be useful both to researchers in Spanish linguistics or theoreti-cal morphology and to advanced students of Spanish interested in the main ways of building new adjectives through suffixation in this language.

Aspects of Latin American Spanish DialectologyIn honor of Terrell A. Morgan

Edited by Manuel Díaz-Campos and Sandro SessaregoIndiana University - Bloomington / University of Texas at Austin

This book focuses on contemporary sociolinguistic approaches to Spanish dialectology. Each of the authors draws on key issues of contemporary sociolinguistics, combining theoreti-cal approaches with empirical data collection. Overall, these chapters address topics concerning language variation and change, sound production and perception, contact linguistics, language teaching, language policy, and ideologies. The authors urge us, as linguists, to take a stand on important issues and to continue applying theory to praxis so as to advance the frontiers of research in the field. This edited volume in honor of Profes-sor Terrell A. Morgan is a means of celebrating an amazing friend, advisor, and human being, who has dedicated his career to teaching graduate and undergraduate students, performed key research in the field, and helped to further pedagogy in the classroom through his textbooks, seminars and websites.

“This volume will serve as a unique landmark in the study of advancedness in second language Spanish. It contains theoretically-grounded chapters by experts who explore the chal-lenges in defining, facilitating and investigating the nature of advanced language abilities and the profiles of advanced learn-ers. The nuanced exploration of the construct of advancedness and the effect of individual dif-ferences and experiences on the acquisition process provides the reader with critical questions for future research. Particu-larly helpful as well are the discussions of the limitations of extant rubrics to measure advanced proficiency and the need to create more fine-grained instruments to capture diverse learners’ abilities to demon-strate their multifunctionality of forms and sophisticated lan-guage use, as well as their dis-course, intercultural, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic competences in various domestic and inter-national contexts. The proposed synergistic relationship be-tween theoretical and pedagogi-cal considerations makes this volume indispensable to both second language researchers and language practitioners.”Barbara Lafford, Arizona State University

Japanese Mood and Modality in Systemic Functional LinguisticsTheory and Application

Edited by Ken-Ichi KadookaRyukoku University

This book is a cross-linguistic and interdisciplinary exploration of modality within systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Draw-ing upon the broad SFL notion of modality that refers to the intermediate degrees between the positive and negative poles, the individual papers probe into the modality systems in English and Japanese. The papers cover issues such as the conceptual nature of modality in both languages, the characterization of modulation in Japanese, the trans-grammatical aspects of modality in relation to mood and grammatical metaphor in both languages, and the modality uses and pragmatic impairment by individuals with a developmental disorder from a neurocognitive perspective.

The book demonstrates a functional account of Japanese within an SFL model of language with a fresh perspective to Japanese linguistics. It also refers to cross-linguistic issues concerning how the principles and theories of SFL serve to empirically elaborate descriptions of individual lan-guages, which will lead to the enrichment of the theory and practice of linguistics and beyond.

Advancedness in Second Language SpanishDefinitions, challenges, and possibilities

Edited by Mandy R. Menke and Paul A. MalovrhUniversity of Minnesota / University of South Carolina

This book analyzes the construct of advanced proficiency in second language learning by bringing together empiri-cal research from numerous linguistic domains and meth-odological traditions. Focusing on the dynamic nature of language use, the volume explores diverse manifesta-tions of high-level second language Spanish, including performance on standardized proficiency assessments, acquisition of late-acquired linguistic structures, sophisti-cated language use in context, and individual differences. Chapters relate empirical findings to current definitions of advancedness, challenging scholars and practitioners to re-consider existing conceptualizations, and propose possible directions for future research and teaching with second language speakers of Spanish. By addressing larger issues in the field of second language learning, the volume is a valuable reference for language teachers, scholars, professionals and students with an interest in second lan-guage acquisition generally, and second language Spanish, more specifically.

The authors urge us, as linguists, to take a stand on important issues and to continue applying theory to praxis so as to advance the frontiers of research in the field. This edited volume in honor of Profes-sor Terrell A. Morgan is a means of celebrating an amazing friend, advisor, and human being, who has dedicated his career to teaching graduate and undergraduate students, performed key research in the field, and helped to further pedagogy in the classroom through his textbooks, seminars and websites.

East and West of The PentacrestLinguistic studies in honor of Paula Kempchinsky

Edited by Timothy Gupton and Elizabeth GielauUniversity of Georgia / Miami University

This book is a collection of contemporary essays and squibs exploring the mental representation of Spanish and other languages in the Romance family. Although largely formal in orientation, they incorporate experimental and corpus data to inform questions of synchronic and diachronic importance. As a whole, these contributions explore two areas of particu-lar interest to linguistic theorizing. The first is linguistic interfaces with chapters on syntax-information structure, syntax-prosody, syntax-semantics, and lexicon-phonology. The second consists of explorations of noun phrases of all sizes – from clitics to nominalized clauses. The results and conclusions of these studies encourage researchers to continue to explore individual languages in particular in order to gain insight on human language in general. This edited volume in honor of Dr. Paula Kempchinsky is reflective of the diversity of approaches that inspired her teaching, research, and mentor-ing for over thirty years at the University of Iowa and beyond.

Syntactic Geolectal VariationTraditional approaches, current challenges and new tools

Edited by Alba Cerrudo, Ángel J. Gallego and Francesc RocaCLT - Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona / GLG/ GALI - Universitat de Girona

This volume brings together studies that combine both tradi-tional and contemporary tools in the study of syntactic geolectal variation, with a special focus on a subset of Iberian varieties. There is an increasing body of research on syntactic micro-vari-ation, but the interaction between dialectology (which makes use of atlases, corpora, databases, questionnaires, interviews, etc.) and formal syntactic studies has traditionally been weak (or event nonexistent), which is precisely the gap the contributions in this book aim at filling in. From a broader perspective, this collection is meant as a contribution to the subfield of linguistic variation and to the more general field of Romance linguistics, with special interest in Spanish and in other Iberian languages. The volume is meant for both researchers and students inter-ested in linguistic variation or dialectology and, specifically, in syntactic variation in Iberian languages.

“This volume will serve as a unique landmark in the study of advancedness in second language Spanish. It contains theoretically-grounded chapters by experts who explore the chal-lenges in defining, facilitating and investigating the nature of advanced language abilities and the profiles of advanced learn-ers. The nuanced exploration of the construct of advancedness and the effect of individual dif-ferences and experiences on the acquisition process provides the reader with critical questions for future research. Particu-larly helpful as well are the discussions of the limitations of extant rubrics to measure advanced proficiency and the need to create more fine-grained instruments to capture diverse learners’ abilities to demon-strate their multifunctionality of forms and sophisticated lan-guage use, as well as their dis-course, intercultural, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic competences in various domestic and inter-national contexts. The proposed synergistic relationship be-tween theoretical and pedagogi-cal considerations makes this volume indispensable to both second language researchers and language practitioners.”Barbara Lafford, Arizona State University

Japanese Mood and Modality in Systemic Functional LinguisticsTheory and Application

Edited by Ken-Ichi KadookaRyukoku University

This book is a cross-linguistic and interdisciplinary exploration of modality within systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Draw-ing upon the broad SFL notion of modality that refers to the intermediate degrees between the positive and negative poles, the individual papers probe into the modality systems in English and Japanese. The papers cover issues such as the conceptual nature of modality in both languages, the characterization of modulation in Japanese, the trans-grammatical aspects of modality in relation to mood and grammatical metaphor in both languages, and the modality uses and pragmatic impairment by individuals with a developmental disorder from a neurocognitive perspective.

The book demonstrates a functional account of Japanese within an SFL model of language with a fresh perspective to Japanese linguistics. It also refers to cross-linguistic issues concerning how the principles and theories of SFL serve to empirically elaborate descriptions of individual lan-guages, which will lead to the enrichment of the theory and practice of linguistics and beyond.

The Linguistics of OlfactionTypological and Diachronic Approaches to Synchronic Diversity

Edited by Łukasz Jedrzejowski and Przemysław StaniewskiUniversity of Cologne / University of Wroclaw

This volume presents novel cross-linguistic insights into how olfac-tory experiences are expressed in typologically (un-)related lan-guages both from a synchronic and from a diachronic perspective. It contains a general introduction to the topic and fourteen chapters based on philological investigation and thorough fieldwork data from Basque, Beja, Fon, Formosan languages, Hebrew, Indo-Euro-pean languages, Japanese, Kartvelian languages, Purepecha, and languages of northern Vanuatu. Topics discussed in the individual chapters involve, inter alia, lexical olfactory repertoires and nam-ing strategies, non-literal meanings of olfactory expressions and their semantic change, reduplication, colexification, mimetics, and language contact. The findings provide the reader with a range of fascinating facts about perception description, contribute to a deeper understanding of how olfaction as an understudied sense is encoded linguistically, and offer new theoretical perspectives on how some parts of our cognitive system are verbalized cross-cultur-ally. This volume is highly relevant to lexical typologists, historical linguists, grammarians, and anthropologists.

The Life Cycle of AdpositionsT. GivónUniversity of Oregon

Adpositions are used, universally, to mark the roles of nominal participants in the verbal clause most common-ly indirect object roles. Practically all languages seem to have such markers which begin their diachronic life as lexical words -- in this case either serial verbs or posi-tional nouns. In many languages, however, adpositions also seem to have extended their diachronic life one step further, becoming verbal affixes. The main focus of this book is the tail-end of the diachronic life cycle of adpositions. That is, the process by which, having arisen first as nominal-attached prepositions or post-positions, they wind up attaching themselves to verbs. Our core puzzle is thus fairly transparent: How and why should morphemes that pertain functionally to nominals, and begin their diachronic life-cycle as nominal grammati-cal operators, wind up as verbal morphology? While the core five chapters of this book focus on the rise of verb-attached prepositions in Homeric Greek, its theoretical perspective is broader, perched at the intersection of three closely intertwined core components of the study of human language: (a) the communicative function of grammar; (b) the balance between universality and cross-language diversity of grammars; and (c) the diachrony of grammatical constructions, how they mutate over time.While paying well-deserved hom-age to the traditional Classical scholarship, this study is firmly wedded to the assumption, indeed presupposition, that Homeric Greek is just another natural language, spoken before written, designed as an instrument of communication, and subject to the same universal constraints as all human languages. And further, that those constraints – so-called language universals – express themselves most conspicuously in diachronic change. In analyzing the synchronic variation and text distribution of prepositional constructions in Homeric Greek, this study relies primarily on the theory-laden method of Internal Reconstruction.

Lost in ChangeCauses and processes in the loss of grammatical elements and constructions

Edited by Svenja Kranich and Tine BrebanUniversity of Bonn / University of Manchester

While research on language change has formulated robust empiri-cal generalisations about processes and motivations underlying the emergence and spread of linguistic elements, their decline and loss is less well understood. So far a systematic investigation into the processes and motivations of decline and loss in language change is lacking. This book is a first step towards remedying this state of affairs. It brings together a varied set of empirical investi-gations into decline and loss, spanning morphology, syntax and the lexicon, in different languages. Their authors apply diverse methodologies and represent different theoretical approaches. On the basis of this broad span of studies, authors and editors propose generalisations related to decline and loss and assess similarities and differences with processes and motivations of emer-gence and spread. The book aims to inspire and provide hypotheses for further studies of decline and loss. It will appeal to historical linguists and others interested in language change.

AntipassiveTypology, diachrony, and related constructions

Edited by Katarzyna Janic and Alena Witzlack-MakarevichUniversity of Leipzig / Hebrew University of Jerusalem

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the morpho-syntactic and semantic aspects of the antipassive construction from synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspectives. The nineteen contributions assembled in this volume address a wide range of aspects pertinent to the antipassive construction, such as lexical se-mantics, the properties of the antipassive markers, as well as the is-sue of fuzzy boundaries between the antipassive construction and a range of other formally and functionally similar constructions in

genealogically and areally diverse languages. Purely synchronically oriented case studies are supplemented by contributions that shed light on the diachronic development of the antipassive construc-tion and the antipassive markers. The book should be of central interest to many scholars, in particular to those working in the field of language typology, semantics, syntax, and historical linguists, as well as to specialists of the language families discussed in the individual contributions.

Austronesian UndressedHow and why languages become isolating

Edited by David Gil and Antoinette SchapperMax Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena / Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam / Lacito-CNRS

Many Austronesian languages exhibit isolating word structure. This volume offers a series of investigations into these languages, which are found in an “isolating crescent” extending from Mainland Southeast Asia through the Indonesian archipelago and into western New Guinea. Some of the languages examined in this volume include Cham, Minangkabau, colloquial Malay/Indonesian and Javanese, Lio, Alorese, and Tetun Dili.

The main purpose of this volume is to address the general question of how and why lan-guages become isolating, by examination of a number of competing hypotheses. While some view morphological loss as a natural process, others argue that the development of isolating word structure is typically driven by language contact through various mechanisms such as creolization, metatypy, and Sprachbund effects. This volume should be of interest not only to Austronesianists and historians of Insular Southeast Asia, but also to grammarians, typolo-gists, historical linguists, creolists, and specialists in language contact.

The Perfect VolumePapers on the perfect

Edited by Kristin Melum Eide and Marc FrydNorwegian University of Science and Technology / University of Poitiers

Drawing on the data and history from a wide range of languag-es, from Ayatal to Zapotec, this volume brings together leading scholars in the field of tense and aspect research resulting in 18 contributions on the perfect and some of its close relatives (e.g. iamitives). Different approaches complement each other to shed light on the source, emergence, grammaticalization, and the typological extension of perfect constructions cross-lin-guistically. One focal point is the so-called aoristic drift, where the perfect comes to resemble the simple past or aorist (often via the hodiernal ‘today’ reading). The semantics and pragmat-ics of perfects are also investigated through their interaction with other categories (e.g. negation, mood). Over time some perfects undergo auxiliary doubling or omission, or the auxil-iary becomes subject to selection. These facts also receive special attention in this book, presenting new insights on perfects in both well-studied as well as very understudied languages.

Studies at the Grammar-Discourse InterfaceDiscourse markers and discourse-related grammatical phenomena

Edited by Alexander Haselow and Sylvie HancilUniversity of Munster / University of Rouen

This book investigates phenomena at the grammar–discourse interface with a strong focus on discourse markers, whose development and concrete uses in a given language tend to be based on a close interplay of grammatical and discourse-re-lated forces. The topics range from the transition of linguistic signs “out of” sentence grammar and “into” the domain of discourse to differences between more grammatical vs. more discourse-pragmatic expressions in terms of structural behav-ior and cognitive processing, and the different, intricate ways in which the usage conditions and meanings of grammatical constituents or structural units are affected by the discourse context in which they are used. The twelve studies in this book are based on fresh empirical data from languages such as English, Basque, Korean, Japanese and French and involve the study of linguistic expressions and structures such as pragmatic markers and particles, comment clauses, exple-tives, adverbial connectors, and expressives.

The completely redesigned Grammar of Spoken and Written English is a comprehensive corpus-

based reference grammar. GSWE describes the structural characteristics of grammatical

constructions in English, as do other reference grammars. But GSWE is unique in that it gives

equal attention to describing the patterns of language use for each grammatical feature,

based on empirical analyses of grammatical patterns in a 40-million-word corpus of spo-

ken and written registers.

Grammar-in-use is characterized by three inter-related kinds of information: frequency

of grammatical features in spoken and written registers, frequencies of the most com-

mon lexico-grammatical patterns, and analysis of the discourse factors influencing

choices among related grammatical features. GSWE includes over 350 tables and fig-

ures highlighting the results of corpus-based investigations. Throughout the book,

authentic examples illustrate all research findings.

The empirical descriptions document the lexico-grammatical features that are

especially common in face-to-face-conversation compared to those that are

especially common in academic writing. Analyses of fiction and newspaper

articles are included as further benchmarks of language use. GSWE contains

over 6,000 authentic examples from these four registers, illustrating the

range of lexico-grammatical features in real-world speech and writing.

In addition, comparisons between British and American English reveal

specific regional differences.

Now completely redesigned and available in an electronic edition,

the Grammar of Spoken and Written English remains a unique and

indispensable reference work for researchers, language teachers,

and students alike.2021. xxxvii, 1157 pp. + index

Spanish Phonetics and Phonology in ContactStudies from Africa, the Americas, and Spain

Edited by Rajiv RaoUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison

Spanish Phonetics and Phonology in Contact: Studies from Africa, the Americas, and Spain brings together scholars working on a wide range of aspects of the Spanish sound system and how their coex-istence with another language in speech communities across the Hispanophone world influences their manifestation. Drawing upon seminal works in the fields of language contact in general, Spanish in contact with indigenous and regional languages, and laboratory approaches tied to the languages in question, the volume’s contents employ acoustic and quantitative approaches, as well as both controlled and spontaneous data elicitation procedures, to shed light on how linguistic, historical, and social variables drive contact phenomena, and in turn, shape specific varieties of Spanish. It will pique the interest of researchers and students of fields such as contact linguistics, language variation and change, segmental and suprasegmental phonetics and pho-nology, and sociolinguistics.

Tone Orthography and LiteracyThe voice of evidence in ten Niger-Congo languages

Edited by David Roberts and Stephen L. WalterIndependent Scholar / Dallas International University

This book presents the results of a series of literacy experiments in ten Niger-Congo languages, representing four language families and spanning five countries. It tests the hypothesis, ”To what extent does full tone marking contribute to oral reading fluency, comprehension and writing accuracy, and does that contribution vary from language to language?”. One of the main findings is that the ethno-literacy profile of the language community and the social profile of the individual are stronger predictors of reading and writing performance than are the lin-guistic and orthographic profiles of the language. Our data also suggests that full tone marking may be more beneficial for less educated readers and those with less experience of L1 literacy. The book will bring practical help to linguists and literacy spe-cialists in Africa and beyond who are helping to develop orthog-raphies for tone languages. It will also be of interest to cognitive psychologists exploring the reading process, and researchers investigating writing systems.

The completely redesigned Grammar of Spoken and Written English is a comprehensive corpus-

based reference grammar. GSWE describes the structural characteristics of grammatical

constructions in English, as do other reference grammars. But GSWE is unique in that it gives

equal attention to describing the patterns of language use for each grammatical feature,

based on empirical analyses of grammatical patterns in a 40-million-word corpus of spo-

ken and written registers.

Grammar-in-use is characterized by three inter-related kinds of information: frequency

of grammatical features in spoken and written registers, frequencies of the most com-

mon lexico-grammatical patterns, and analysis of the discourse factors influencing

choices among related grammatical features. GSWE includes over 350 tables and fig-

ures highlighting the results of corpus-based investigations. Throughout the book,

authentic examples illustrate all research findings.

The empirical descriptions document the lexico-grammatical features that are

especially common in face-to-face-conversation compared to those that are

especially common in academic writing. Analyses of fiction and newspaper

articles are included as further benchmarks of language use. GSWE contains

over 6,000 authentic examples from these four registers, illustrating the

range of lexico-grammatical features in real-world speech and writing.

In addition, comparisons between British and American English reveal

specific regional differences.

Now completely redesigned and available in an electronic edition,

the Grammar of Spoken and Written English remains a unique and

indispensable reference work for researchers, language teachers,

and students alike.2021. xxxvii, 1157 pp. + index

Spanish Phonetics and Phonology in ContactStudies from Africa, the Americas, and Spain

Edited by Rajiv RaoUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison

Spanish Phonetics and Phonology in Contact: Studies from Africa, the Americas, and Spain brings together scholars working on a wide range of aspects of the Spanish sound system and how their coex-istence with another language in speech communities across the Hispanophone world influences their manifestation. Drawing upon seminal works in the fields of language contact in general, Spanish in contact with indigenous and regional languages, and laboratory approaches tied to the languages in question, the volume’s contents employ acoustic and quantitative approaches, as well as both controlled and spontaneous data elicitation procedures, to shed light on how linguistic, historical, and social variables drive contact phenomena, and in turn, shape specific varieties of Spanish. It will pique the interest of researchers and students of fields such as contact linguistics, language variation and change, segmental and suprasegmental phonetics and pho-nology, and sociolinguistics.

Variation and EvolutionAspects of language contact and contrast across the Spanish-speaking world

Edited by Sandro Sessarego, Juan J. Colomina-Almiñana and Adrián Rodríguez-RiccelliUniversity of Texas at Austin / Louisiana State University / SUNY at Buffalo

This book is a collection of original studies analyzing how different internal and external factors affect Spanish language variation and evolution across a number of (socio)linguistic scenarios. Its primary goal is to expand our understanding of how native and non-native varieties of Spanish co-exist with other languages and dialects under the influence of several linguistic and extra-linguistic forces. While some papers analyze the linguistic dynamics affecting Spanish grammars from a cross-dialectal perspective, others focus more closely on the relations established between Spanish and other lan-guages with which it is in contact. In particular, some of these studies show how power and prestige may support (or not) the use of Spanish in different social contexts and educational realities, given that the attitudes toward this language vary greatly across the Spanish-speaking world. On the one hand, in some regions, Spanish represents the variety spoken by the majority of the population, typically related to prestige and power (Spain and Latin America). On the other hand, in other contexts, the same language is conceived as a minority variety, which may or may not be associated with stigmatized immigrant groups (i.e., in the US).

Syntactic and Semantic Variation in Copular SentencesInsights from Classical Hebrew

Daniel J. WilsonUniversity of the Free State

This book presents a novel account of syntactic and semantic variation in copular and existential sentences in Classical He-brew. Like many languages, the system of Classical Hebrew copular sentences is quite complex, containing zero, pro-nominal, and verbal forms as well as eventive and inchoative semantics. Approaching this subject from the framework of Distributed Morphology provides an elegant and compre-hensive explanation for both the syntactic and semantic vari-ation in these sentences. This book also presents a theoretical model for analyzing copular sentences in other languages included related phenomena– such as pseudo-copulas. It is also a demonstration of what can be gained by applying modern linguistic analyses to dead languages. Citing and building off previous studies on this topic, this book will be of interest to those interested in the theoretical examination of copular and existential sentences and to those interested in Classical Hebrew more specifically.

Thetics and CategoricalsEdited by Werner Abraham, Elisabeth Leiss and Yasuhiro FujinawaGroningen University & University of Vienna / University of Munich / Tokyo University of Foreign Studies

Thetics and Categoricals do not belong to the categories of Ger-man grammar. Thetics were introduced in logic as imper-sonal and broad focus constructions. They left profound and extensive traces in the logic of the late 19th century. For the class of thetic propositions, the criterion of textual exclusion plays the major role, i.e. the absence of any common grounds and of any anaphorism and background. In the foreground are sentences with sub ject inversion, subject suppression and detopicalization. These and only these are suitable for text begin nings, jokes, stage advertisements and solipsistic exclamatives, thus speech acts without com mu nicative goals – free expressives in the true sense of the word. The contribu-tions in this volume not only guide the reader through the history of philosophical logic and distributions of imperson-als in contrast to Kantian categorical sentences, but also the correspondences in Japanese and Chinese which, in contrast to German and English, sport specific morphological mark-ers for thetics as opposed to categoricals.

Advances in Contact LinguisticsIn honour of Pieter Muysken

Edited by Norval Smith, Tonjes Veenstra and Enoch Oladé AbohUniversity of Amsterdam / ZAS

Issues in multilingualism and its implications for communi-ties and society at large, language acquisition and use, lan-guage diversification, and creative language use associated with new linguistic identities have become hot topics in both scientific and popular debates. A ubiquitous aspect of mul-tilingualism is language contact. This book contains twelve articles that discuss specific aspects of Contact Linguistics. These articles cover a wide range of topics in the field, including creoles, areal linguistics, language mixing, and the sociolinguistic aspects of interactions with audiences. The book is dedicated to Pieter Muysken whose work on pidgin and creole languages, mixed languages, code-switching, bilingualism, and areal linguistics has been ground-break-ing and inspirational for the authors in this book, as well as numerous other scholars working on the various facets of this rapidly expanding field.

Advances in Iranian LinguisticsEdited by Richard K. Larson, Sedigheh Moradi and Vida SamiianStony Brook University / UCLA & California State University, Fresno

This volume brings together selected papers from the first North American Conference in Iranian Linguistics, which was organized by the linguistics department at Stony Brook University. Papers were selected to illustrate the range of frameworks, diverse areas of research and how the boundaries of linguistic analysis of Iranian languages have expanded over the years. The contributions collected in this volume address advancing research and complex methodological explorations in a broad range of topics in Persian syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, typol-ogy and classification, as well as historical linguistics. Some of the papers also investigate less-studied and endangered Iranian languages such as Tat, Gilaki and Mazandarani, Sorani and Kurmanji Kurdish, and Zazaki. The volume will be of value to scholars in theoretical frameworks as well as those with typological and diachronic perspectives, and in particular to those working in Iranian linguistics.

Mass and Count in Linguistics, Philosophy, and Cognitive ScienceEdited by Friederike MoltmannCNRS

The mass-count distinction is a morpho-syntactic distinc-tion among nouns that is generally taken to have semantic content. This content is generally taken to reflect a con-ceptual, cognitive, or ontological distinction and relates to philosophical and cognitive notions of unity, identity, and counting. The mass-count distinction is certainly one of the most interesting and puzzling topics in syntax and semantics that bears on ontology and cognitive science. In many ways, the topic remains under-researched, though, across languages and with respect to particular phenomena within a given language, with respect to its connection to cognition, and with respect to the way it may be under-stood ontologically. This volume aims to contribute to some of the gaps in the research on the topic, in particular the relation between the syntactic mass-count distinc-tion and semantic and cognitive distinctions, diagnostics for mass and count, the distribution and role of numeral classifiers, abstract mass nouns, and object mass nouns (furniture, police force, clothing).

Re-Assessing Modalising ExpressionsCategories, co-text, and context

Edited by Pascal Hohaus and Rainer SchulzeLeibniz University Hannover

Mood, modality and evidentiality are popular and dynamic areas in linguistics. Re-Assessing Modalising Expressions – Categories, co-text, and context focuses on the specific issue of the ways language users express permission, obligation, volition (intention), possibility and ability, necessity and prediction linguistically.Using a range of evidence and corpus data collected from different sources, the authors of this volume examine the distribution and functions of a range of patterns involv-ing modalising expressions as predominantly found in standard American English, British English or Hong Kong English, but also in Japanese. The authors are particularly interested in addressing (co-)textual manifestations of modalising expressions as well as their distribution across different text-types and thus filling a gap research was unable to plug in the past. Thoughts on categorising or re-categorising modalising expressions initiate and comple-ment a multi-perspectival enterprise that is intended to bring research in this area a step forward.

Beyond Emotions in LanguagePsychological verbs at the interfaces

Edited by Bo˙zena Rozwadowska and Anna Bondaruk

University of Wroclaw / John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin

This book sheds new light on the puzzle of psychological predicates in a cross-linguistic perspective by looking at them from a variety of angles at the interfaces between event structure, lexical and viewpoint aspect, syntax and information structure. The individual chapters focus on Polish and Spanish psych verbs, which manifest new overt contrasts that often remain covert in languages such as English, e.g., aspectual distinctions, the peculiarities of dative constructions, or the role of information structure in determining the word order. One of the main contribu-tions of the book lies in positing a new typology of basic event types enriched with the initial boundary events. Moreover, due attention is devoted to dative experiencers as compared to accusative experiencers. Although couched in the generative tradition, the main insights presented in this collection are theory neutral and may be of interest to linguists of all persuasions.

CoherenceT. GivónUniversity of Oregon

Coherence, connectivity and the fitting together of smaller parts into larger structures and a coherent whole is the hallmark of complex biologically-based systems. As a structure-internal constraint, coher-ence makes it possible for the parts to work together as a whole. As an external constraint, it lets complex system evolve and adapt to novel contexts. As a constraint on information processing, it makes new knowledge accessible to the maturing, learning or evolving mind-brain. As a constraint on cultures, it enables members of social groups to be empathic and cooperative. As a constraint on language and com-munication, lastly, it allows the mind of speakers to be accessible to the mind of hearers.

Part I explores first the role of coherence in the evolution of complex biological design, from precellular to mono-cellular to multi-cellular to multi-organ sentient beings. The complex hierarchic design of the mind-brain is explored next, probing the coherent organization of major brain systems—perception, attention, motor control, memory and language. In surveying the coherence of cultures next, the first-evolved Society of Intimates is viewed as the model for social cohe-sion, empathy, trust and cooperation. Part II deals with language and communication, touching upon the coherent organization of semantic memory, event clauses and clause chains, and the central role of grammar in coherent communication. Part III deals with three general issues. First, the role of coherence in organized science. Second, the eternal seesaw of selfish vs. social motivation in coherently functioning cultures. And last, the frail balance between homogeneity diversity in large-scale Societies of Strangers.

Stative InquiriesCauses, results, experiences, and locations

Alfredo García-PardoPurchase College

This monograph studies stative predicates from a neo-constructionist perspective and integrates them in a comprehensive theory of event and argument structure. It focuses on two sets of stative verbs: gov-ern-type verbs and object experiencer psychological verbs. For govern-verbs, it shows how notions such as causativity and resultativity can also be ingredients of stative predicates and be derived syntactically. The consequences of this proposal are further pursued in a crosslinguistic investigation of adjectival passives, which are stative predicates of sorts. For object-ex-periencer psychological verbs, it is shown that their Experiencer theta-role can and should be derived as an aspectual entailment mediated by prepositional structure. In defending this view, this monograph reveals a syntactic parallelism between location verbs and object-experiencer psychological verbs in many languages that has hitherto gone unnoticed. This book will primarily appeal to researchers interested in lexical aspect and its connection to morphosyntax.

Past Participle AgreementA study on the grammaticalization of formal features

Jorge Vega VilanovaUniversity of Hamburg

In this book, the traditional definition of ‘gram-maticalization’ is challenged in the light of current developments in grammar theory. The main in-novation of this approach is the focus on the feature composition of lexical items. From this perspective, the loss of past participle agreement in Catalan is analyzed on the basis of newly collected data as a consequence of the grammaticalization of formal features. The emergence of syntactic formal features through grammaticalization is understood as a last-resort repair mechanism for pragmatically costly derivations. Further far-reaching implications of this proposal under discussion are: the interplay between (re-)parametrization, economy, cyclicity, and gram-maticalization; the characterization of free variation under a modified version of the Interface Hypothesis; and the precedence of syntactic over morphological change. This book is not only of interest to specialists in Romance languages but also to anyone working on diachronic linguistics.

Producing Figurative ExpressionTheoretical, experimental and practical perspectives

Edited by John Barnden and Andrew GargettUniversity of Birmingham / Open University

This collection contains a selection of recent work on people’s production of figurative language (metaphoric, ironic, met-onymic, hyperbolic, ...) and similarly of figurative expression in visual media and artefact design. The articles illuminate issues such as why and under what circumstances people produce figurative expression and how it is moulded by their aims. By focusing on production, the intention is to help stimulate more academic research on it and redress historically lower levels of published work on generation than on understanding of figurative expression. The contributions stretch across various academic disciplines – mainly psychology, cognitive linguistics and applied linguistics, but with a representation also of phi-losophy and artificial intelligence – and across different types of endeavour – theoretical investigation and model building, experimental studies, and applications focussed work (for in-stance, figurative expression in product design and online sup-port groups). There is also a wide-ranging introductory chapter that touches on areas outside the scope of the contributed articles and discusses difficult issues such as a complex interplay of production and understanding.

Metasex – The Discourse of Intimacy and TransgressionAnne Storch and Nico NassensteinUniversity of Cologne / Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

This study focuses on the language around sexuality and discourses about sex, labeled by the authors as metasex, from a broad crosslinguistic perspective. Unlike many existing studies on sexting that predominantly take into account the linguistic practices of teenagers often located in the Global North, this book offers a more holistic approach by discussing Southern concepts of body parts, their conceptualization and mediatiza-tion (“dick pics”), the interconnectedness of food and sex and its sensualization (“foodporn”) as well as processes of social cohesion around sex, sociability and conviviality (“bonding”). Based on an anthropological linguistic perspective, the authors analyze metasex practices from Nigeria, DR Congo, Uganda, the Mediterranean, and numerous other contexts. Africanist Agnes Brühwiler’s afterword on sex (talk) in Tanzania rounds off the various fresh insights this study offers.

Norwegian Verb ParticlesLeiv Inge AaNorwegian University of Science and Technology

This book aims to explain the syntax and semantics of Norwegian verb particles. While particles have been claimed to be distributed optionally to the left (as LPrt) or right (as RPrt) of an associated DP in the linguistic literature, the dialectologically oriented literature has shown for a long time that many Nor-wegian particles are preferred as LPrt (correspond-ing to English ‘throw out the dog’). While spatial particles can appear in both positions, non-spatial particles primarily appear as LPrt. A complex predi-cate analysis is adopted for non-spatial particles, and a small clause analysis for spatial particles. It is argued that a non-spatial LPrt construction triggers an atelic reading, and the RPrt counterpart identifies a result state.

The book combines traditional dialectology with modern linguistic theories and includes much Norwegian data that has not been shed theoretical light on before: simplex and complex spatial and non-spatial constructions, phrasal particles, ground promotion, and unaccusatives. Several earlier theo-retical accounts of Norwegian particles are reviewed in a separate chapter.

Figurative Language – Intersubjectivity and UsageEdited by Augusto Soares da SilvaUniversidade Católica Portuguesa

Intersubjectivity and usage play central roles in figurative language and are pivotal notions for a cognitively realistic research on figures of thought, speech, and communication. This volume brings together thirteen studies that explore the relationship between figurativity, intersubjectivity and usage from the Cognitive Linguistics perspective. The stud-ies explore the impact of figurativity on areas of lexicon and grammar, on real discourse, and across different semiotic sys-tems. Some studies focus on the psychological processes of the comprehension of figurativity; other studies address the ways in which figures of thought and language are socially shared and the variation of figures through time and space. Moreover, some contributions are established on advanced corpus-based techniques and experimental methods. There are studies about metaphor, metonymy, irony and puns; about related processes, such as humor, empathy and ambig-uation; and about the interaction between figures. Overall, this volume offers the advantages and the opportunities of an interactional and usage-based perspective of figurativity, embracing both the psychological and the intersubjective reality of figurative thought and language and empirically emphasizing the multidimensional character of figurativity, its central function in thought, and its impact on everyday communication.

Language & CognitionHow the Brain Got Language – Towards a New Road MapEdited by Michael A. ArbibUniversity of California at San Diego, La Jolla

How did humans evolve biologically so that our brains and social interactions could support language processes, and how did cultural evolution lead to the invention of languages (signed as well as spoken)? This book addresses these questions through comparative (neuro)primatology – comparative study of brain, behavior and communica-tion in monkeys, apes and humans – and an EvoDevoSocio framework for approaching biological and cultural evolu-tion within a shared perspective. Each chapter provides an authoritative yet accessible review from a different disci-pline: linguistics (evolutionary, computational and neuro), archeology and neuroarcheology, macaque neurophysiology, comparative neuroanatomy, primate behavior, and devel-opmental studies. These diverse perspectives are unified by having each chapter close with a section on its implications for creating a new road map for multidisciplinary research. These implications include assessment of the pluses and minuses of the Mirror System Hypothesis as an “old” road map. The cumulative road map is then presented in the concluding chapter. Originally published as a special issue of Interaction Studies 19:1/2 (2018).

Where Words Get their MeaningCognitive processing and distributional modelling of word meaning in first and second language

Marianna BolognesiUniversity of Bologna

Words are not just labels for conceptual categories. Words construct conceptual categories, frame situations and influence behavior. Where do they get their meaning?

This book describes how words acquire their meaning. The author argues that mechanisms based on associations, pattern detection, and feature matching processes explain how words acquire their meaning from experience and from language alike. Such mechanisms are summarized by the distributional hypoth-esis, a computational theory of meaning originally applied to word occurrences only, and hereby extended to extra-linguistic contexts.

By arguing in favor of the cognitive foundations of the distri-butional hypothesis, which suggests that words that appear in similar contexts have similar meaning, this book offers a theoretical account for word meaning construction and exten-sion in first and second language that bridges empirical findings from cognitive and computer sciences. Plain language and illustrations accompany the text, making this book accessible to a multidisciplinary academic audience.

Grammar and CognitionDualistic models of language structure and language processing

Edited by Alexander Haselow and Gunther KaltenböckUniversity of Münster / University of Graz

This volume brings together linguistic, psychological and neurological research in a discussion of the Cognitive Dualism Hypothesis, whose central idea is that human cognitive activity in general and linguistic cognition in particular cannot reasonably be reduced to a single, monolithic system of mental processing, but that they have a dualistic organization. Drawing on a wide range of methodological approaches and theoretical frame-works that account for how language users mentally represent, process and produce linguistic discourse, the studies in this volume provide a critical examination of dualistic approaches to language and cognition and their impact on a number of fields. The topics range from formulaic language, the study of reason-ing and linguistic discourse, and the lexicon–grammar distinc-tion to studies of specific linguistic expressions and structures such as pragmatic markers and particles, comment adverbs, extra-clausal elements in spoken discourse and the processing of syntactic groups.

An Argumentative Analysis of the Emergence of Issues in Adult-Children DiscussionsRebecca G. SchärUniversità della Svizzera Italiana

This book traces the issue in argumentative discussions from its emergence to its evolution. The book makes use of natu-rally occurred data of spoken argumentation to investigate how an issue is raised and possibly negotiated in argumenta-tive discussions between young children (aged 2 to 6 years) and adults. The author proposes a typology of the emergence of issues based on the argumentative agency of the interlocu-tors. Moreover, the investigation sheds light on how issues evolve through negotiation among the involved interlocu-tors and how issues may be related to the interlocutors’ endoxa. By applying an interdisciplinary approach including Argumentation theory (the pragma-dialectical model of a critical discussion and the Argumentum Model of Topics) as well as sociocultural developmental psychology this work allows for a careful consideration of the many aspects that come into play when young children start or engage in an argumentative discussions with adults.

OKAY across LanguagesToward a comparative approach to its use in talk-in-interaction

Edited by Emma Betz, Arnulf Deppermann, Lorenza Mondada and Marja-Leena SorjonenUniversity of Waterloo / Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache / University of Basel / University of Helsinki

OKAY has been termed ‘a spectacular expression’ and ‘America’s greatest invention.’ This volume offers an in-depth empirical study of the uses that have resulted from its global spread. Focusing on actions and interactional practices, it investigates OKAY in a variety of settings in 13 languages. The collected work showcases the importance of a holistic analysis: Prosodic realization and the placement of OKAY in its larger sequential and multimodal context emerge as constitutive for distinct uses in individual languages. An inductive approach makes it possible to identify practices not previously docu-mented, for example OKAY used for ‘qualified acceptance’ or as a ‘continuer’, and to document a core of recurrent, similar uses across languages. This work also outlines new research directions for comparative analysis by offering first insights into the diachronic development of OKAY’s uses and the rela-tionship of OKAY to other particles in specific languages.

Politics, Ethnicity and the Postcolonial NationA critical analysis of political discourse in the Caribbean

Eleonora EspositoUniversity of Navarra

This book explores the politics of ethnicity and nationalism in the Caribbean from a critical discourse-analytical perspec-tive. Focusing on political communication in Trinidad and Tobago, it offers unique socio-political insights into one of the most complex and diverse countries of the Archipelago. Through a detailed reconstruction of Kamla Persad-Biss-essar’s 2010 victorious run for office, this book offers ample empirical evidence of the multimodal discursive strategies that held the key to the success of the first woman PM candi-date and her inter-ethnic coalition bid to overcome political tribalism in the country. In parallel, it explores the implica-tions and challenges of the postcolonial Trinbagonian national project, caught between pluralism and creolization. Through its innovative, context-dependent and interdis-ciplinary CDS approach, this book breaks new ground in Caribbean Studies while at the same time broadening the ho-rizons of the Euro-American tradition of Political Discourse Studies to address the complexities of global postcoloniality.

The contributions to this volume – in the spheres of political rhetoric, gender and sexuality, and corporate and academic communication – provide good evidence of contemporary social structure, social phenomena, and social issues. In this way, following the parameters of different analytical frame-works (critical discourse analysis, cognitive metaphor theory, appraisal theory, multimodality, etc.), the contributors address not only the linguistic aspects of texts but also, and more importantly, the cultural and cognitive dimensions of public communication in a range of real life communicative contexts and kinds of discourse. Although the volume is ad-dressed, first and foremost, to readers with diverse interests in English linguistics, it may also prove valuable to scholars in other non-linguistic research fields like communication studies, social theory, political science, or psychology.

OKAY across LanguagesToward a comparative approach to its use in talk-in-interaction

Edited by Emma Betz, Arnulf Deppermann, Lorenza Mondada and Marja-Leena SorjonenUniversity of Waterloo / Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache / University of Basel / University of Helsinki

OKAY has been termed ‘a spectacular expression’ and ‘America’s greatest invention.’ This volume offers an in-depth empirical study of the uses that have resulted from its global spread. Focusing on actions and interactional practices, it investigates OKAY in a variety of settings in 13 languages. The collected work showcases the importance of a holistic analysis: Prosodic realization and the placement of OKAY in its larger sequential and multimodal context emerge as constitutive for distinct uses in individual languages. An inductive approach makes it possible to identify practices not previously docu-mented, for example OKAY used for ‘qualified acceptance’ or as a ‘continuer’, and to document a core of recurrent, similar uses across languages. This work also outlines new research directions for comparative analysis by offering first insights into the diachronic development of OKAY’s uses and the rela-tionship of OKAY to other particles in specific languages.

Address Variation in Sociocultural ContextRegion, power and distance in Italian service encounters

Agnese BresinLa Trobe University

This study looks at the sociocultural context of five Italian regions and at the situational context of restaurant encoun-ters (a sub-type of service encounters) to examine address variation in spoken Italian – with a focus on singular address pronouns tu, voi and lei. It offers a thorough examination of distance and power dynamics between waiters and custom-ers in a wide range of restaurant types. This book marks the introduction of Italian to the field of regional pragmatic variation and it will be of interest to linguists, Italianists and researchers more broadly working on service encounters. The author offers a new dimension to the understanding of social interaction and language use in contemporary Italy, uncover-ing cultural and linguistic differences between even adjacent geographical areas within a modern European nation state.

Multimodal Performance and Interaction in Focus GroupsKristin Enola Gilbert and Gregory MatoesianElmhurst University / University of Illinois at Chicago

Focus group interviews have seen explosive growth in recent years. They provide evaluations of social science, educa-tional, and marketing projects by soliciting opinions from a number of participants on a given topic. However, there is more to the focus group than soliciting mere opinions. Mov-ing beyond a narrow preoccupation with topic talk, Gilbert and Matoesian take a novel direction to focus group analysis. They address how multimodal resources – the integration of speech, gesture, gaze, and posture – orchestrate communal relations and professional identities, linking macro orders of space-time to microcosmic action in a focus group evaluation of community policing training. They conceptualize assess-ment as an evaluation ritual, a sociocultural reaffirmation of collective identity and symbolic maintenance of professional boundary enacted in aesthetically patterned oratory. In the wake of social unrest and citizen disillusionment with policing practice, Gilbert and Matoesian argue that processes of multimodal interaction provide a critical direction for focus group evaluation of police reforms. Their book will be of interest to researchers who study focus group interviews, gesture, language and culture, and policing reform.

Degrees of European BelongingThe fuzzy areas between us and them

Élisabeth LeUniversity of Alberta

While we tend to divide the world into Us and Them, a number of grey nuances exist beyond this white and black distinction. The purpose of this book is to address the fuzzy areas between Us and Them through the study of European belonging as it is represented in the French elite daily, Le Monde. Corpora collected from 2014 to 2017 are used for case studies in the framework of Discourse Analysis to look at the use of “Europe” in headlines, and the representation of the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Turkey. The combination of these case studies allows to present a conceptual framework for the representa-tion of Europe by Le Monde. However, beyond the study of what belonging to Europe means for Le Monde, this book is about the legitimacy of being “in-between”, i.e. belonging neither totally to Us nor to Them.

Argumentation between Doctors and PatientsUnderstanding clinical argumentative discourse

Frans H. van Eemeren, Bart Garssen and Nanon LabrieILIAS & Leiden University & University of Amsterdam / ILIAS & University of Amsterdam / ILIAS & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Argumentation between Doctors and Patients discusses the use of argumentation in clinical settings. Starting from the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation, it aims at providing an understanding of argumentative discourse in the context of doctor-patient interaction. It explains when and how inter-actions between doctors and patients can be reconstructed as argumentative, what it means for doctors and patients to reasonably resolve a difference of opinion, what it implies to strive simultaneously for reasonableness and effectiveness in clinical discourse, and when such efforts derail into fallacious-ness. Argumentation between Doctors and Patients is of interest to all those who seek to improve their understanding of argumenta-tion in a medical context – whether they are students, scholars of argumentation, or medical practitioners.

Frans H. van Eemeren, Bart Garssen and Nanon Labrie are prominent argumentation theorists. In writing Argumentation between Doctors and Patients, they have benefited from the advice of an Advisory Board consisting of both medical practitioners and argumentation scholars.

Approaches to Internet PragmaticsTheory and practice

Edited by Chaoqun Xie, Francisco Yus and Hartmut HaberlandZhejiang International Studies University / University of Alicante / Roskilde University

Internet-mediated communication is pervasive nowadays, in an age in which many people shy away from physical settings and often rely, instead, on social media and messaging apps for their everyday communicative needs. Since pragmatics deals with communication in context and how more gets communicated than is said (or typed), applications of this linguistic perspective to internet communication, under the umbrella label of internet pragmatics, are not only welcome, but necessary.

The volume covers straightforward applications of prag-matic phenomena to internet interactions, as happens with speech acts and contextualization, and internet-specific kinds of communication such as the one taking place on WhatsApp, WeChat and Twitter. This collection also address-es the role of emoticons and emoji in typed-text dialogues and the importance of “physical place” in internet interac-tions (exhibiting an interplay of online-offline environ-ments), as is the case in the role of place in locative media and in broader place-related communication, as in migration.

The Pragmatics of AdaptabilityEdited by Daniel N. Silva and Jacob L. MeyFederal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil / University of Southern Denmark

Humans are adaptive beings. Gradually, we have produced the fundamental capacities for our cooperation, recognition of intentions, and interaction which led to the development of language and culture. The present collective volume builds on an orientation to pragmatics as the sustained and principled human adaptability in interaction, form, and meaning. Working on different strands of such a socially ori-ented pragmatics, the authors gathered in this volume study the adaptability of language as shaped by the conditions of society, culture, and cognition. Grouped in four sections, the book’s chapters explore the embedding of adaptability in language ideology, text, communicative practice, and learning. Adopting these various perspectives, the authors gauge how language users navigate the different layers of societal, cognitive, and communicative constraints, while adapting their communicative practices, language ideolo-gies, and technologies of interaction to their everyday living conditions.

The Politics of Person ReferenceThird-person forms in English, German, and French

Naomi TruanLeipzig University

This book, the first systematic exploration of the third person in English, German, and French, takes a fresh look at person reference within the realm of political discourse. By focusing on the newly refined speech role of the target, attention is given to the continuity between second and third grammatical persons as a system. The role played by third-person forms in creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships in discourse has been surprisingly overlooked. Until now, third-person forms have overwhelmingly been considered as referring to the absent, i.e. to someone outside the communication situation, other than the speaker or the hearer: the “nonperson”. By broadening the scope and finally integrating the third person, we come to understand The Poli-tics of Person Reference fully, and to see the strategic, argumen-tative, and dialogical nature of the act of referring to other discourse participants, understood as the act of creating new referents.

How Emotions Are Made in TalkEdited by Jessica S. Robles and Ann WeatherallLoughborough University / Victoria University of Wellington

How Emotions are Made in Talk brings together an exciting collection of cutting-edge interactional research examining emotions and affectivity as social actions. The international selection of scholars draw on ethnomethodology and con-versation analysis applied to a range of settings including sports, workplaces, telephone calls, classrooms, friends and healthcare. The aim of the book is to provide new insights into how emotions are produced as social actions in relation to, for example, encouragement, responsibility, crying, objects, empathy, joy, surprise, touch, and pain. This volume should be of interest to interactional scholars and researchers interested in social approaches to emotion, and addresses a range of scholarship across the disciplines of sociology, com-munication, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology.

LinguisticsThe Manipulative Disguise of TruthTricks and threats of implicit communication

Viviana MasiaUniversity of Roma Tre & University of Rome “La Sapienza”

Becoming effective hunters of manipulative communicative moves is far from an easy capacity to develop. This book aims at offering a guide to the most dangerous traps of deceptive language as trig-gered by implicit communication strategies such as presupposition, implicature, topicalization and vague expressions. A look at differ-ent contexts of language use highlights some of the most remark-able implications of using indirect speech and of how it affects the correct comprehension of a message. Within the remit of commu-nication and pragmatics studies, this work marks an advancement in the direction of delving into the linguistic manifestations of manipulative discourse, its most common contexts of use and the educational paths that can be undertaken to master it in everyday interactions.

new journal 2021 NEW JOURNAL 2021Interactional LinguisticsEdited by Ilana Mushin and Simona Pekarek DoehlerUniversity of Queensland / University of Neuchâtel [email protected]

In the past two decades, usage-based approaches to linguistic inquiry have forged an empirically grounded comprehension of language as locally con-tingent, temporal, and ever-adaptive. Interactionally-oriented approaches to the study of language have evidenced both how linguistic structures function as resources for organizing social interaction, and, conversely, how social interaction shapes linguistic structures.

Interactional Linguistics aims to advance our understanding of this symbiotic relationship between language and social interaction, contributing to a more encompassing comprehension of what language is, in light of its use within the dynamics of social interaction. This fully peer-reviewed journal publishes original research that demonstrates how close scrutiny of linguistic structures as they occur in social interaction can deepen our appreciation of the functional and formal aspects of language, be it within a single language or cross-linguistically. The journal publishes qualitative and quantitative research and welcomes empirical as well as theoretical arguments.

Complimenting Behavior and (Self-)Praise across Social MediaNew contexts and new insights

Edited by María Elena Placencia and Zohreh R. EslamiBirkbeck, University of London / Texas A&M University

The present volume focuses on complimenting behavior, includ-ing the awarding of (self-)praise, as manifested on social media. These commonplace activities have been found to fulfil a wide range of functions in face-to-face interaction, discoursal and relational amongst others. However, even though the giving of compliments and praise has become a pervasive practice in online environments, it remains a largely underexplored field of study within pragmatics. Self-praise is an activity that appears at the present time to be rapidly gaining ground online, and the various functions it performs clearly also need further investigation. The different contributions to this ground-breaking volume – 12 in total – aim to address this gap in research by exploring and shed-ding light on a number of aspects of these phenomena in a range of languages and language varieties. New socio-digital contexts are examined, supported in some cases by social networking sites not previously studied in complimenting behavior research. These include Facebook, Instagram, Renren, Twitter, as well as web forums, message boards and live text commentary.

Manners, Norms and Transgressions in the History of EnglishLiterary and linguistic approaches

Edited by Andreas H. Jucker and Irma TaavitsainenUniversity of Zurich / University of Helsinki

This volume traces the multifaceted concept of manners in the history of English from the late medieval through the early and late modern periods right up to the present day. It focuses in particular on transgressions of manners and norms of behav-iour as an analytical tool to shed light on the discourse of polite conduct and styles of writing. The papers collected in this volume adopt both literary and linguistic perspectives. The fictional sources range from medieval romances and Shakespearean plays to eighteenth-century drama, Lewis Carroll’s Alice books and present-day television comedy drama. The non-fictional data includes conduct books, medical debates and petitions written by lower class women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The contributions focus in particular on the following ques-tions: What are the social and political ideologies behind rules of etiquette and norms of interaction, and what can we learn from blunders and other transgressions?

Politeness in Professional ContextsEdited by Dawn Archer, Karen Grainger and Piotr JagodzinskiManchester Metropolitan University / Sheffield Hallam University

Much like in everyday life, politeness is key to the smooth running of relationships and interactions. Professional con-texts, however, tend to be characterised by a plethora of be-haviours that may be specific to that context. They include ‘polite’ behaviours, ‘impolite’ behaviours and behaviours that arguably fall somewhere between – or outside – such concepts. The twelve chapters making up this edited collec-tion explore these behaviours in a range of communication contexts representative of business, medical, legal and security settings. Between them, the contributions will help readers to theorize about – and in some cases operationalize (im)politeness and related behaviours for – these real-world settings. The authors take a broad, yet theoretically underpinned, definition of politeness and use it to help explain, analyse and inform professional interactions. They demonstrate the importance of understanding how interac-tions are negotiated and managed in professional settings. The edited collection has something to offer, therefore, to academics, professionals and practitioners alike.

Understanding Conversational JokingA cognitive-pragmatic study based on Russian interactions

Nadine ThielemannVienna University of Economics and Business

This book examines the diverse forms of conversational humor with the help of examples drawn from casual interactions among Russian speakers. It argues that neither an exclusively discourse-analytic perspective on the phenomenon nor an exclusively cognitive one can adequately account for conversational joking. Instead, the work advocates reconciling these two perspectives in order to describe such humor as a form of cognitive and communicative creativity, by means of which interlocu-tors convey additional meanings and imply further interpretive frames. Accordingly, in order to analyze cognition in interaction, it introduces a discourse-seman-tic framework which complements mental spaces and blending theory with ideas from discourse analysis. On the one hand, this enables both the emergent and interac-tive character and the surface features of conversational joking to be addressed. On the other, it incorporates into the analysis those normally backgrounded cognitive pro-cesses responsible for the additional meanings emerging from, and communicated by jocular utterances.

Fixed ExpressionsBuilding language structure and social action

Edited by Ritva Laury and Tsuyoshi OnoUniversity of Helsinki / University of Alberta

This volume concerns the structure and use of fixed expressions in a range of typologically, genetically and areally distinct languages. The chapters consider the use contexts of fixed expressions, at the same time taking seriously the need to account for their structural aspects. Formulaicity is taken here as a central feature of everyday language use, and fixed expressions as a basic utterance building resource for interaction. Our crosslinguistic investigation suggests that humans have the propensity to automatize ways to handle var-ious discourse-level needs for specific sequential contexts by creat-ing (semi-)fixed expressions based on frequent patterns. The chap-ters examine topics such as the degrees and types of fixedness, the emergence of fixed expressions, their connection to social action, the new understanding of traditional linguistic categories in light of fixedness, crosslinguistic variation in types of fixed expressions, as well as their non-verbal aspects. The volume situates the notion of ‘units’ of language at the intersection of interaction and formal structure as part of a larger effort to replace rule-based conceptions of language with a more dynamic, realistic and pragmatically based model of language. The articles are based on naturally occurring data, mostly everyday conversation, in English, Estonian, Finnish, Japanese, and Mandarin, with some crosslinguistic comparison.

Bonding through ContextLanguage and interactional alignment in Japanese situated discourse

Edited by Risako Ide and Kaori HataUniversity of Tsukuba / Osaka University

This book examines the linguistic and interactional mechanisms through which people bond or feel bonded with one another by analyzing situated discourse in Japanese contexts. The term “bond-ing” points to the sense of co-presence, belonging, and alignment with others as well as with the space of interaction. We analyze bonding as established, not only through the usage of language as a foregrounded code, but also through multi-layered contexts shared on the interactional, corporeal, and socio-cultural levels. The volume comprises twelve chapters examining the processes of bonding (and un-bonding) using situated discourse taken from rich ethnographic data including police suspect interrogations, Skype-mediated family conversations, theatrical rehearsals, storytelling, business email correspondence and advertisements. While the book focuses on processes of bonding in Japanese discourse, the concept of bonding can be applied universally in analyzing the co-creation of semiotic, pragmatic, and communal space in situated discourse.

Complimenting Behavior and (Self-)Praise across Social MediaNew contexts and new insights

Edited by María Elena Placencia and Zohreh R. EslamiBirkbeck, University of London / Texas A&M University

The present volume focuses on complimenting behavior, includ-ing the awarding of (self-)praise, as manifested on social media. These commonplace activities have been found to fulfil a wide range of functions in face-to-face interaction, discoursal and relational amongst others. However, even though the giving of compliments and praise has become a pervasive practice in online environments, it remains a largely underexplored field of study within pragmatics. Self-praise is an activity that appears at the present time to be rapidly gaining ground online, and the various functions it performs clearly also need further investigation. The different contributions to this ground-breaking volume – 12 in total – aim to address this gap in research by exploring and shed-ding light on a number of aspects of these phenomena in a range of languages and language varieties. New socio-digital contexts are examined, supported in some cases by social networking sites not previously studied in complimenting behavior research. These include Facebook, Instagram, Renren, Twitter, as well as web forums, message boards and live text commentary.

Manners, Norms and Transgressions in the History of EnglishLiterary and linguistic approaches

Edited by Andreas H. Jucker and Irma TaavitsainenUniversity of Zurich / University of Helsinki

This volume traces the multifaceted concept of manners in the history of English from the late medieval through the early and late modern periods right up to the present day. It focuses in particular on transgressions of manners and norms of behav-iour as an analytical tool to shed light on the discourse of polite conduct and styles of writing. The papers collected in this volume adopt both literary and linguistic perspectives. The fictional sources range from medieval romances and Shakespearean plays to eighteenth-century drama, Lewis Carroll’s Alice books and present-day television comedy drama. The non-fictional data includes conduct books, medical debates and petitions written by lower class women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The contributions focus in particular on the following ques-tions: What are the social and political ideologies behind rules of etiquette and norms of interaction, and what can we learn from blunders and other transgressions?

Politeness in Professional ContextsEdited by Dawn Archer, Karen Grainger and Piotr JagodzinskiManchester Metropolitan University / Sheffield Hallam University

Much like in everyday life, politeness is key to the smooth running of relationships and interactions. Professional con-texts, however, tend to be characterised by a plethora of be-haviours that may be specific to that context. They include ‘polite’ behaviours, ‘impolite’ behaviours and behaviours that arguably fall somewhere between – or outside – such concepts. The twelve chapters making up this edited collec-tion explore these behaviours in a range of communication contexts representative of business, medical, legal and security settings. Between them, the contributions will help readers to theorize about – and in some cases operationalize (im)politeness and related behaviours for – these real-world settings. The authors take a broad, yet theoretically underpinned, definition of politeness and use it to help explain, analyse and inform professional interactions. They demonstrate the importance of understanding how interac-tions are negotiated and managed in professional settings. The edited collection has something to offer, therefore, to academics, professionals and practitioners alike.

Understanding Conversational JokingA cognitive-pragmatic study based on Russian interactions

Nadine ThielemannVienna University of Economics and Business

This book examines the diverse forms of conversational humor with the help of examples drawn from casual interactions among Russian speakers. It argues that neither an exclusively discourse-analytic perspective on the phenomenon nor an exclusively cognitive one can adequately account for conversational joking. Instead, the work advocates reconciling these two perspectives in order to describe such humor as a form of cognitive and communicative creativity, by means of which interlocu-tors convey additional meanings and imply further interpretive frames. Accordingly, in order to analyze cognition in interaction, it introduces a discourse-seman-tic framework which complements mental spaces and blending theory with ideas from discourse analysis. On the one hand, this enables both the emergent and interac-tive character and the surface features of conversational joking to be addressed. On the other, it incorporates into the analysis those normally backgrounded cognitive pro-cesses responsible for the additional meanings emerging from, and communicated by jocular utterances.

LinguisticsThe Dynamics of Text and Framing PhenomenaHistorical approaches to paratext and metadiscourse in English

Edited by Matti Peikola and Birte BösUniversity of Turku / University of Duisburg-Essen

This volume explores the complex relations of texts and their contextualising elements, drawing particularly on the notions of paratext, metadiscourse and framing. It aims at developing a more comprehensive historical understanding of these phenomena, covering a wide time span, from Old English to the 20th century, in a range of historical genres and contexts of text production, mediation and consump-tion. However, more fundamentally, it also seeks to expand our conception of text and the communicative ‘spaces’ sur-rounding them, and probe the explanatory potential of the concepts under investigation. Though essentially rooted in historical linguistics and philology, the twelve contributions of this volume are also open to insights from other disci-plines (such as medieval manuscript studies and bibliogra-phy, but also information studies, marketing studies, and even digital electronics), and thus tackle opportunities and challenges in researching the dynamics of text and framing phenomena in a historical perspective.

The Discourse of IndirectnessCues, voices and functions

Edited by Zohar Livnat, Pnina Shukrun-Nagar and Galia HirschBar-Ilan University / Ben-Gurion University of the Negev

Indirectness has been a key concept in pragmatic research for over four decades, however the notion as a technical term does not have an agreed-upon definition and remains vague and ambiguous. In this collection, indirectness is examined as a way of communicating meaning that is inferred from textual, contextual and intertextual meaning units. Empha-sis is placed on the way in which indirectness serves the rep-resentation of diverse voices in the text, and this is examined through three main prisms: (1) the inferential view focuses on textual and contextual cues from which pragmatic indi-rect meanings might be inferred; (2) the dialogic-intertextual view focuses on dialogic and intertextual cues according to which different voices (social, ideological, literary etc.) are identified in the text; and (3) the functional view focuses on the pragmatic-rhetorical functions fulfilled by indirectness of both kinds.

Controversies and InterdisciplinarityBeyond disciplinary fragmentation for a new knowledge model

Edited by Jens Allwood, Olga Pombo, Clara Renna and Giovanni ScarafileUniversity of Gothenburg / Universidade de Lisboa / University of Salento / University of Pisa

Nowadays, the forms assumed by knowledge indicate an unhinging of traditional structures conceived on the model of discipline.

Consequently, what was once strictly disciplinary becomes inter-disciplinary, what was homogeneous becomes heterogeneous and what was hierarchical becomes heterarchical.

When we look for a matrix of interdisciplinarity, that is to say, a pri-mary basis or an essential dimension of all the complex phenomena we are surrounded by, we see the need to break with the disciplin-ary self-restraint in which, often completely inadvertently, many of us lock ourselves up, remaining anchored to our own competences, ignoring what goes beyond our own sphere of reference.

However, interdisciplinarity is still a vague concept and a much de-manding practice. It presupposes the continuous search for conver-gent theoretical perspectives and methodologies, and the definition of common spaces and languages, as well as a true dialogical and open mind of several scholars.

From ethics to science, from communication to medicine, from climate change to human evolu-tion the volume Controversies and Interdisciplinarity offers a series of original insights beyond disciplinary fragmentation for a new knowledge model.

Language Policy in BusinessDiscourse, ideology and practice

Elisabeth BarakosUniversity of Hamburg

Language Policy in Business: Discourse, ideology and practice provides a critical sociolinguistic and discursive understanding of language policy in a minority language context. Focusing on Welsh-English bilingualism in private sector businesses in Wales, the book unpacks the circulating discourses, ideologies and practices of pro-moting bilingualism as a sociocultural and economic resource in the globalised knowledge economy. It sheds light on businesses as ideological sites for struggles over language revitalisation, which has been characterised by tensions and discursive shifts from es-sentialist ideologies about language, identity, nation and territory, to an increased commodification of bilingualism.

The book is premised on the understanding that language is a fo-cal point for articulating and living out historical power relation-ships and inequalities, and that language policy processes are never apolitical. It adds to a body of literature about bilingualism in minority language contexts and, more broadly, about how the fields of politics, business and society are inextricably related.

Analysing Chinese Language and Discourse across Layers and GenresEdited by Wei WangUniversity of Sydney

Aspirational and expanding, this book examines contem-porary Chinese language and discourse across a spectrum of linguistic layers and genres in diverse social contexts. Addressing issues ranging from the usual focus on language per se, or language use in reaction to the immediate settings, to the connections between properties of texts and social practices (ideologies, stancetaking, power relations, etc.), the updated and exemplary research projects presented in the volume demonstrates a developing trajectory of research in Chinese language and discourse. With its empirical focus and stress on the role of language and discourse in social practice, this important new book discusses various language features as well as gender, stancetaking, and identity in Chinese discourse. This is a vital discussion for anyone interested in contemporary Chinese language and discourse studies.

In examination of different layers of language (i.e. from lexical items and sentence structures to discourse features and discursive practices) across different genres of texts, the research projects have drawn on a variety of linguis-tic approaches and methodologies, including functional linguistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and various approaches to discourse analysis.

Researchers and students of Chinese linguistics, sociolin-guistics, discourse studies, translation studies, and China studies in general will find this volume an indispensable reference and an enjoyable read.

Grammatical and Sociolinguistic Aspects uagesEdited by Derib Ado, Almaz Wasse Gelagay and Janne Bondi Johannessen †Addis Ababa University / Kotebe Metropolitan University / University of Oslo

The focus of this unique publication is on Ethiopian lan-guages and linguistics. Not only major languages such as Amharic and Oromo receive attention, also lesser studied ones like Sezo and Nuer are dealt with. The Gurage lan-guages that often present a descriptive and sociolinguis-tic puzzle to researchers receive ample coverage. And for the first time in the history of Ethiopian linguistics two chapters are dedicated to descriptive studies of Ethiopian Sign Language, as well as two studies on acoustic phonet-ics. Topics range over a wide spectrum of issues covering the lexicon, sociolinguistics, socio-cultural aspects and micro-linguistic studies on the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ethiopian languages.

Metroethnicity, Naming and MocknolectNew horizons in Japanese sociolinguistics

John C. MaherInternational Christian University, Tokyo

Language is a social space, an aesthetic, a form of play and communication, a geographical reference, a jouissance, a producer of numerous social and personal identities. This book takes up salient issues of sociolinguistics with a specific focus on Japan: language and gender (the married name controversy), language and the ‘portable’ identities being fashioned around traditional, essentialist notions of ethnicity (metroethnicity) endangerment, slang, taboo and discriminatory language in Japanese especially regarding minorities, place-names from indigenous languages, the fellowship and parody of children’s songs, and the diversity of nicknames among children and young people. This books gives radical and new perspec-tives on the sociolinguistics of Japanese.

Language Contact in the Territory of the Former Soviet UnionEdited by Diana Forker and Lenore A. GrenobleFriedrich-Schiller-University Jena / University of Chicago

The former Soviet Union (USSR) provides the ideal ter-ritory for studying language contact between one and the same dominant language (Russian) and a wide range of geologically and typologically diverse languages with varying histories of language contact. This is the first book that bundles different case studies and systemati-cally investigates the impact of Russian at all linguistic levels, from the lexicon to the domains of grammar to discourse, and with varying types of outcomes such as relatively rapid language shift, structural changes in a relatively stable contact situation, pidginization and super variability at the post-pidgin stage. The volume appeals to linguists studying language contact and contact-induced language change from a broad range of perspectives, who want to gain insight in how one of the largest languages in the world influences other smaller languages, but also experts of mostly minority languages in the sphere of the former Soviet Union.

Bermudian EnglishA sociohistorical and linguistic profile

Nicole EberleUniversity of Basel

Bermudian English. A sociohistorical and linguistic profile focuses on a hitherto severely under-researched variety of English. The book traces the origins and development of Bermudian English, so as to situate the variety within the canon of other lesser-known varieties of English, and provides a first in-depth description of its variable morphosyntactic structure. Relying on sociolinguistic in-terview data and combining qualitative, typological and quantitative, variationist analyses of selected morpho-syntactic features, it sheds light on structural affiliations of Bermudian English and argues for a two-way transfer pattern where Bermudian English plays an important role in the development of a number of other English(-based) varieties in the wider geographical region. Complementing existing studies which document such varieties, this book contributes to the body of research that describes the diversity of English(-based) varieties around the globe, filling a notable gap.

Contested LanguagesThe hidden multilingualism of Europe

Edited by Marco Tamburelli and Mauro ToscoBangor University / University of Turin

This is the first volume entirely dedicated to contested languages. While generally listed in international language atlases, contested languages usually fall through the cracks of research: excluded from the literature on minority languages and treated as mere ensembles of geographically defined varieties by traditional dialectology. This vol-ume investigates the nature of contested languages, the role language ideologies play in the perception of these languages, the contribution of academic discourse to the formation and perpetuation of language contestedness, and the damage contestedness causes to linguistic communities and ultimately to linguistic diversity. Various situations and degrees of language contestedness are presented and analysed, along with theoretical considerations, exploring potential roads to recognition and issues in language planning that arise from language contestedness. Addressing the “language vs dialect” question head on, the volume opens up new perspectives that are relevant to all students and researchers interested in the maintenance of linguistic diversity.

Developing Narrative ComprehensionMultilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives

Edited by Ute Bohnacker and Natalia GagarinaUppsala University / Leibniz-ZAS | Uppsala University

Comprehension of texts and understanding of questions is a corner-stone of successful human communication. Whilst reading compre-hension has been thoroughly investigated in the last decade, there is surprisingly little research on children’s comprehension of picture sto-ries, particularly for bilinguals. This can be partially explained by the lack of cross-culturally robust, cross-linguistic instruments targeting early narration. This book presents an inference-based model of narra-tive comprehension and a tool that grew out of a large-scale European project on multilingualism. Covering a range of language settings, the book uses the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives to answer the question which narrative comprehension skills (bilingual) children can be expected to master at a certain age, and explores how such comprehension is affected (or not affected) by linguistic and ex-tra-linguistic factors. Linking theory to method, the book will appeal to researchers in linguistics and psychology and graduate students interested in narrative, multilingualism, and language acquisition.

Metroethnicity, Naming and MocknolectNew horizons in Japanese sociolinguistics

John C. MaherInternational Christian University, Tokyo

Language is a social space, an aesthetic, a form of play and communication, a geographical reference, a jouissance, a producer of numerous social and personal identities. This book takes up salient issues of sociolinguistics with a specific focus on Japan: language and gender (the married name controversy), language and the ‘portable’ identities being fashioned around traditional, essentialist notions of ethnicity (metroethnicity) endangerment, slang, taboo and discriminatory language in Japanese especially regarding minorities, place-names from indigenous languages, the fellowship and parody of children’s songs, and the diversity of nicknames among children and young people. This books gives radical and new perspec-tives on the sociolinguistics of Japanese.

Language Contact in the Territory of the Former Soviet UnionEdited by Diana Forker and Lenore A. GrenobleFriedrich-Schiller-University Jena / University of Chicago

The former Soviet Union (USSR) provides the ideal ter-ritory for studying language contact between one and the same dominant language (Russian) and a wide range of geologically and typologically diverse languages with varying histories of language contact. This is the first book that bundles different case studies and systemati-cally investigates the impact of Russian at all linguistic levels, from the lexicon to the domains of grammar to discourse, and with varying types of outcomes such as relatively rapid language shift, structural changes in a relatively stable contact situation, pidginization and super variability at the post-pidgin stage. The volume appeals to linguists studying language contact and contact-induced language change from a broad range of perspectives, who want to gain insight in how one of the largest languages in the world influences other smaller languages, but also experts of mostly minority languages in the sphere of the former Soviet Union.

The Acquisition of Referring ExpressionsA dialogical approach

Edited by Anne Salazar-Orvig, Geneviève de Weck, Rouba Hassan and Annie RiallandUniversité Sorbonne Nouvelle / Université de Neuchâtel / Université Lille 3 / Université Sorbonne Nouvelle & CNRS

This book describes the repertoire and uses of referring ex-pressions by French-speaking children and their interlocu-tors in naturally occurring dialogues at home and at school, in a wide range of communicative situations and activities. Through the lens of an interactionist and dialogical per-spective, it highlights the interaction between the formal aspects of the acquisition of grammatical morphemes, the discourse-pragmatic dimension, and socio-discursive, interactional and dialogical factors. Drawing on this multidimensional theoretical and methodological framework, the first part of the book deals with the relation between reference and grammar, while the second part is devoted to the role of the communica-tive experience. Progressively, a set of arguments is brought out in favor of a dialogical and interactionist account of children’s referential development. This theoretical stance is further discussed in relation to other approaches of reference acquisition. Thus, this volume provides researchers and students with new perspectives and methods for the study of referring expressions in children.

Contested LanguagesThe hidden multilingualism of Europe

Edited by Marco Tamburelli and Mauro ToscoBangor University / University of Turin

This is the first volume entirely dedicated to contested languages. While generally listed in international language atlases, contested languages usually fall through the cracks of research: excluded from the literature on minority languages and treated as mere ensembles of geographically defined varieties by traditional dialectology. This vol-ume investigates the nature of contested languages, the role language ideologies play in the perception of these languages, the contribution of academic discourse to the formation and perpetuation of language contestedness, and the damage contestedness causes to linguistic communities and ultimately to linguistic diversity. Various situations and degrees of language contestedness are presented and analysed, along with theoretical considerations, exploring potential roads to recognition and issues in language planning that arise from language contestedness. Addressing the “language vs dialect” question head on, the volume opens up new perspectives that are relevant to all students and researchers interested in the maintenance of linguistic diversity.

Research on Second Language Processing and Processing InstructionStudies in honor of Bill VanPatten

Edited by Michael J. Leeser, Gregory D. Keating and Wynne WongFlorida State University / San Diego State University / The Ohio State University

This volume consists of a well-integrated collection of original research articles and theoretical/overview papers on second language (L2) input processing. The primary contributors are former students of Bill VanPatten from the past three decades, and the collection of articles is intended as a tribute to his career and contribution of bringing processing issues to the center stage of research in second language acquisition (SLA) and instructed SLA. The research and theorizing presented in this volume are the most recent in the field and represent innovations in approaches to L2 processing research, including the use of online methodologies (self-paced reading and eye tracking) in the experimental papers. In addition, the editors are recognized authors and researchers who have published on sentence processing, input processing, and processing instruction, and all three editors are either on editorial boards or are associate editors of major L2 journals.

Measuring Native-Speaker Vocabulary SizeI.S.P. Nation and Averil CoxheadVictoria University of Wellington

Estimating native-speaker vocabulary size is important for guiding interventions to support native-speaker vocabulary growth and for setting goals for learners of English as a foreign language. Unfortunately, the measurement of native-speaker vocabulary size has been one of the most methodologically con-tentious areas of research in applied linguistics, with estimates of adults’ vocabulary size ranging from 12,000 words to well over 200,000 words. This book reviews over one hundred years of research, critically examining the methodological issues and findings at each age level from young children to adults, and suggesting solutions. It pres-ents a model organising the factors involved in vocabulary growth and is rich in well-re-searched suggestions for supporting native-speaker vocabulary learning. It concludes with topics for further research. The research shows that we now have a more stable and coherent picture of what and how much vocabulary native-speakers know, and how this knowledge grows throughout their lives.

NEW JOURNAL 2021Journal of English-Medium InstructionEdited by Diane Pecorari and Hans MalmströmCity University of Hong Kong / Chalmers University of Technology [email protected] / [email protected]

Around the globe, varied instructional settings use English for teaching and learning purposes, despite the fact that it is not the first language of some or all participants. The Journal of English-Medium Instruction provides a home for research on this important and rapidly growing phenomenon. The journal adopts a broad understanding of what constitutes English-medium instruction (EMI), while differentiating it from other multilingual pedagogies. EMI is an inherently interdisciplin-ary field, spanning multiple branches of applied linguistics and (higher) education pedagogy and didactics. A key objective of JEMI is to unite these strands of EMI research and enable scholarly work in one corner of this interdisciplinary area to reach both researchers and practitioners in oth-ers. JEMI welcomes contributions on a range of topics of relevance to EMI, e.g., forms of instruction, translanguaging, language policy, assessment, support for instructors, the transition from content and language integrated learning to EMI, and the devel-opment of academic as well as disciplinary literacy.

Child Bilingualism and Second Language LearningMultidisciplinary perspectives

Edited by Fangfang Li, Karen E. Pollock and Robbin GibbUniversity of Lethbridge / University of Alberta

This book focuses exclusively on child bilinguals or children exposed to a second language in various learning contexts. Through the presentation of research on how children learn the sound systems or lexicon in two languages and via different routes, the book aims to paint a comprehensive picture of child bilingualism and second language learning. In addition, the book features contributions focused on theoretical overviews and methodological approaches. Researchers from diverse dis-ciplines such as linguistics, psychology, and speech-language pathology contributed to the book that thus represents an effort to integrate multiple views and perspectives. The book is useful for researchers, clinicians, and educators who work with children acquiring or learning a second language in different settings. It should also be of interest to university students studying bilingualism and/or second language acquisition or parents raising bilingual children.

The Multilingual Challenge for the Construction and Transmission of Scientific KnowledgeAnne-Claude Berthoud and Laurent GajoUniversité de Lausanne / Université de Genève

Whereas it is now generally recognised that multilingual-ism is important for society, culture and the economy, the relevance of multilingualism for the world of science has still largely escaped attention. But science, too, is created and transmitted in and through communication. Today, the construction and transmission of knowledge is based on a growing monolingualism, with English as the lingua academica regarded as a condition of the universality of scientific knowledge. However, this idea is based on the illusion that languages are transparent and that the modes of communication are universal.

In this book, it is shown how multilingualism can open different perspectives and improve the quality of knowledge by offering an antidote to the squeezing out of different academic and scientific cultures. More precisely, it is shown how multilingual approaches highlight the mediating role of language and, in doing so, optimize con-ceptualization, communication and evaluation in science.

These findings are, for one thing, relevant to institutional language policies and, for another, open new lines of research taking scientific practices themselves as a field of investigation.

World Englishes on the Web focuses on linguistic practices at the intersection of international migration and social media, exam-ining the language repertoires of Nigerians living in the United States, and their negotiations of identity and authenticity on a Nigerian web forum. Based on a large corpus of informal, multilingual, interactive, online writing, this book describes how diasporic Nigerians employ African-American Vernacular English, Nigerian English, Nigerian Pidgin, and ethnic Nigerian languages in an online community of practice. The project com-bines corpus linguistic methods—relying on a corpus manage-ment tool custom-made for web forum data—with ethnograph-ically-informed qualitative analyses of morphosyntactic, lexical, and orthographic features, and immigrants’ language attitudes and ideologies. It is relevant particularly for linguists and other social scientists interested in World Englishes, the sociolinguis-tics of globalization and computer-mediated communication, corpus linguistics, and pidgin and creole languages

Talking about FoodThe social and the global in eating communities

Edited by Sofia Rüdiger and Susanne MühleisenUniversity of Bayreuth

All humans eat and all humans speak – activities which in social life often, but not always, co-occur: We talk while eat-ing and drinking with others, but food is also a prominent literal and metaphorical discursive topic which contributes to establishing communities and identities. This omnipresence of eating and drinking in our daily lives has led to a public fascination with foodways. The contributions in this edited collection investigate the connection between language and food from a variety of perspectives. As food discourses operate on local, global, and mediated levels, they are intertwined with notions of identity and culture and thus shed light on intimate understandings of ourselves as human beings. This book provides up-to-date and thought-provoking contributions to the linguistics of food. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in food-related subjects.

Current Perspectives on Child Language AcquisitionHow children use their environment to learn

Edited by Caroline F. Rowland, Anna L. Theakston, Ben Ambridge and Katherine E. TwomeyMax Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics & Radboud University / University of Manchester / University of Liverpool

In recent years the field has seen an increasing realisation that the full complexity of language acquisition demands theories that (a) explain how children integrate information from multiple sources in the environment, (b) build linguistic representations at a number of different levels, and (c) learn how to combine these representations in order to communicate effectively. These new findings have stimulated new theoretical perspectives that are more centered on explaining learning as a complex dynamic interaction between the child and her envi-ronment. This book is the first attempt to bring some of these new perspectives together in one place. It is a collection of es-says written by a group of researchers who all take an approach centered on child-environment interaction, and all of whom have been influenced by the work of Elena Lieven, to whom this collection is dedicated.

LinguisticsTEXTBOOKSStudies in Turkish

as a Heritage LanguageEdited by Fatih BayramUiT The Artic University of Norway

Heritage language bilingualism refers to contexts where a minority language spoken at home is (one of) the first native language(s) of an individual who grows up and typi-cally becomes dominant in the so-cietal majority language. Heritage language bilinguals often wind up with grammatical systems that differ in interesting ways from dominant-native speakers growing up where their heritage language is the majority one. Understanding the trajectories and outcomes of heritage language bilingual grammatical competence, performance, language usage patterns, identities and more related topics sits at the core of many research programs across a wide array of theoretical paradigms. The study of heritage language bilingualism has grown exponentially over the past two decades. This expansion in interest has seen, in parallel, extensions in methodolo-gies applied, bridges built between closely related fields such as the study of language contact and linguistic attrition. As is typical in linguistics, not all languages are studied to the same degree. The present volume showcases what Turkish as a heritage language brings to bear for key questions in the study of heritage language bilingualism and beyond. In many ways, Turkish is an ideal language to be studied because of its large diaspora across the world, in particular Europe. The papers in this volume are diverse: from psycholinguistic, to ethno-graphic, to classroom-based studies featuring Turkish as a heritage language. Together they equal more than their subparts, leading to the conclusion that understudied heritage languages like Turkish provide missing pieces to the puzzle of understanding the variables that give rise to the continuum of outcomes characteristic of heritage language speakers.

The Art and Architecture of Academic WritingPatricia Prinz and Birna ArnbjörnsdóttirMercy College New York / University of Iceland

This book is a bridge to confident academic writing for advanced non-native English users. It emphasizes depth over breadth through mastery of core writing competencies and strategies which apply to most academic disciplines and genres. Tailored to students in EMI programs, the content was piloted and revised during a longitudinal writing study. The innovative approach pre-pares students to write for the academic community through the dual lenses of Art (developing a writer’s voice through choices in language, style, and topics) and Architecture (mastering norms of academic language, genre, and organization.) The user-friendly text maximizes time for writing practice and production by avoiding lengthy readings. Part 1 builds skills and confidence in writing by focusing on assignments that do not require research. Part 2 applies newly mastered principles, skills, and strategies to research-based writing. Students learn to incorporate thesis, research, and evidence into a process for academic writing by following the AWARE framework (Arranging to write, Writing, Assessing, Revising, and Editing.)

Professional Development in Applied LinguisticsA guide to success for graduate students and early career faculty

Edited by Luke PlonskyNorthern Arizona University

Success in academia requires more than an understanding of discipline-specific literature and an ability to teach and do re-search. It is also necessary to develop an understanding of a range of professionally-oriented skills such as how to identify and apply to doctoral programs, how to make the most of conferences, how to achieve a semblance of work-life balance, and how to land a job. Unfortunately, however, training on such professional matters is often inconsistent and/or idiosyncratic. This book seeks to consolidate and demystify these critical and often-misunderstood aspects of professional development in the context of applied lin-guistics. Put another way, this book is an attempt at the text many of us wish we had as we began our graduate studies. Throughout the book, readers will find anecdotes and insights informed by individual authors’ first-hand experiences. The resulting tone across the volume is that of a meet-up with a trusted and thought-ful mentor. As readers “meet” with these mentors, it is the hope of this volume that their guidance will help move readers closer to realizing their professional goals in applied linguistics.

Tense and Aspect in Second Language Acquisition and Learner Corpus ResearchEdited by Robert Fuchs and Valentin WernerUniversity of Hamburg / University of Bamberg

The expression of temporal relations, notably through tense and aspect, is central in all pro-cesses of communication, but commonly perceived and described as a major hurdle for non-na-tive speakers. While this topic has already received considerable attention in the SLA literature, it features less prominently in recent corpus-based studies of learner language. This volume intends to close this gap. It shows which additional insights into the area of tense and aspect in learner language can be gained using corpus data, addressing the following questions: In which ways do corpus-based studies complement work based on other methods?; How can a corpus-based approach inform theories on the acquisition of tense and aspect specifically, and of language acquisition in general?; Are results language-specific or can universal principles be established?; How pervasive are effects of mode/register within learner corpus data?; What role does native and non-native input play?; Which methodological challenges come to the fore when using corpus data instead of elicited data?; How can the notion of “target(-like)” perfor-mance be operationalized for corpus material?; Which implications do the findings from the learner corpora have for the teaching and learning of the target language?

Languaging in Language Learning and TeachingA collection of empirical studies

Edited by Wataru Suzuki and Neomy StorchMiyagi University of Education / University of Melbourne

This book is the first to bring together a collection of recent empirical studies investigating languaging, an important construct first introduced by Swain in 2006 but which has since been deployed in a growing number of L2 studies. The contributing authors include both established and emerging authors from around the globe. They report on studies which elicited languaging in oral or written form, via a range of individual and group tasks, and from a diverse range of student populations. As such these studies extend the scope of extant research, illustrating different and novel approaches to research on languaging. The find-ings of these studies provide new insights into the language learning opportunities that languaging can afford language learners in different educational and linguistic contexts but also the factors that may impact on these opportunities. As such the book promises to be of relevance and interest to both researchers and language teachers.

Writing and Language LearningAdvancing research agendas

Edited by Rosa M. ManchónUniversity of Murcia

The current volume aspires to add to previous research on the con-nection between writing and language learning from a dual perspec-tive: It seeks to reflect current progress in the domain as well as to foster future developments in theory and research. The theoretical postulations contained in Part I identify and expand in novel ways the diverse lenses through which the varied, multi-faceted dimen-sions of the connection between writing and language learning can be explored. The methodological reflections put forward in Part III signal theoretically-grounded and pedagogically-relevant paths along which future empirical work can grow. The empirical studies reported in Part II illuminate the myriad of individual, educational, and task-related variables that (may) mediate short-term and long-term language learning outcomes. These studies examine diverse forms of writing, performed in varied environments (including pen-and-paper and digital writing), conditions (writing individually and/or collaboratively), and instructional settings (academic settings – including secondary school and college level institutions – as well as out-of-school contexts).

Conjunctive Markers of Contrast in English and FrenchFrom syntax to lexis and discourse

Maïté DupontUniversité catholique de Louvain

Situated at the interface between corpus lin-guistics and Systemic Functional Linguistics, this volume focuses on conjunctive markers expressing contrast in English and French. The frequency and placement patterns of the markers are analysed using large corpora of texts from two written registers: newspaper editorials and research articles. The corpus study revisits the long-standing but largely unsubstantiated claim that French requires more explicit markers of co-hesive conjunction than English and shows that the opposite is in fact the case. Novel insights into the placement preferences of English and French conjunctive markers are provided by a new approach to theme and rheme that attaches more importance to the rheme than previous studies. The study demonstrates the significant benefits of a combined corpus and Systemic Functional Linguistics approach to the cross-linguistic analysis of cohesion.

Corpora, Constructions, New EnglishesA constructional and variationist approach to verb patterning

Samantha LaporteUniversity of Louvain

This book takes an integrated approach to the fields of Corpus Linguistics, Construction Gram-mar, and World Englishes through a thorough constructional and corpus-based examination of the patterning of the versatile high-frequency verb make in British English and New Englishes. It contributes to Construction Grammar theory by adopting a verb-based, rather than construc-tion-based, perspective on argument structure. This allows the probing of the interface between verb-independent generalizations and item-spec-ificity from an underexplored angle that offers new insights into the shape of the constructicon. From a variationist perspective, it seeks to (i) identify features of New Englishes and gauge whether these features exhibit traces of conventionalization, and (ii) assess whether the degree of institutionalization of the New Englishes cor-relates with linguistic behavior, both from a social and cognitive perspective, thereby contributing to the budding effort to integrate the cognitive and social dimensions into the modeling of linguistic variation in World Englishes.

Voices Past and Present - Studies of Involved, Speech-related and Spoken TextsIn honor of Merja Kytö

Edited by Ewa Jonsson and Tove LarssonUppsala University / Uppsala University / University of Louvain

This volume provides a diachronic and synchronic overview of linguistic variability and change in involved, speech-related and spoken texts in English. While previous works on the topic have focused on more limited time periods, this book covers data from the 16th century up to the present day. The studies offer new insights into historical and present-day corpus pragmatics by identifying and exploring features of orality in a variety of registers. For readers who are new to the field, the range of approaches will provide a helpful overview; for readers who are already familiar with the field, the volume will shed light on the complexity of factors such as register, sociolinguistic variability and language attitude, thus making it a useful resource and stepping stone for fur-ther exploration. The volume celebrates the groundbreaking contributions of Professor Merja Kytö in making accessible speech-related corpus material and leading the way in its exploration.

Corpus Approaches to Social MediaEdited by Sofia Rüdiger and Daria DayterUniversity of Bayreuth / University of Basel

From Twitter to Reddit, Facebook, and WhatsApp – so-cial media is a part of modern everyday life. Studying the language used on social media platforms presents great opportunities as well as challenges to corpus linguists. The contributions in Corpus Approaches to Social Media address tech-nical, ethical, and methodological issues by showcasing in-depth social media studies as conducted by corpus scholars. The chapters are based on a variety of social media platforms and include corpus perspectives on the language of online communities, linguistic variation in short media texts, and the role of images in computer-mediated communication. A particularly strong point of the collection are the detailed ac-counts of the methodological aspects of working with social media corpora. The volume features research applying tradi-tional corpus linguistic methods to social media data as well as novel and innovative research methods for the analysis of multimodal material and atypical corpus texts.

How to do Linguistics with RData exploration and statistical analysis

Natalia LevshinaUniversité catholique de Louvain

This book provides a linguist with a statisti-cal toolkit for exploration and analysis of linguistic data. It employs R, a free software environment for statistical computing, which is increasingly popular among linguists. How to do Linguistics with R: Data exploration and statisti-cal analysis is unique in its scope, as it covers a wide range of classical and cutting-edge sta-tistical methods, including different flavours of regression analysis and ANOVA, random forests and conditional inference trees, as well as specific linguistic approaches, among which are Behavioural Profiles, Vector Space Models and various measures of association between words and constructions. The statistical topics are presented comprehensively, but without too much technical detail, and illustrated with linguistic case studies that answer non-trivial research questions.

Spanish Socio-Historical LinguisticsIsolation and contact

Edited by Whitney Chappell and Bridget DrinkaUniversity of Texas, San Antonio

This interdisciplinary volume explores the unique role of the sociohistorical factors of isolation and contact in motivating change in the varieties of Spanish worldwide. Recogniz-ing the inherent intersectionality of social and historical factors, the book’s eight chapters investigate phenomena ranging from forms of address and personal(ized) infinitives to clitics and sibilant systems, extending from Majorca to Mexico, from Panamanian Congo speech to Afro-Andean vernaculars. The volume is particularly recommended for scholars interested in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, history, sociology, and anthropology in the Spanish-speaking world. Additionally, it will serve as an indispensable guide to students, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, investigating sociohistorical advances in Spanish.

Diachronic Treebanks for Historical LinguisticsEdited by Hanne Martine Eckhoff, Silvia Luraghi and Marco PassarottiUniversity of Oxford / University of Pavia / Catholic University of the Sacred Heart

Over the last few decades, the widespread diffusion of digital technology has increased availability of primary textual sources, radically changing the everyday life of scholars in the humanities, who are now able to access, query and process a wealth of empirical evidence in ways not possible before.

Also for ancient languages, corpora enhanced with increas-ingly complex layers of metalinguistic information, such as part-of-speech tagging and syntactic annotation (called ‘treebanks’) are now available. In particular, diachronic treebanks, which provide data for a language across several historical stages of a given language, allow for a new ap-proach to diachronic studies of syntactic phenomena where scholars previously had to content themselves with empirical work on a much smaller scale.

This volume brings together a set of papers that report re-search on various diachronic matters supported by evidence from diachronic treebanks. The contents of the papers cover a wide range of languages, including English, French, Rus-sian, Old Church Slavonic, Latin and Ancient Greek. Origi-nally published as special issue of Diachronica 35:3 (2018).

Records of Real PeopleLinguistic variation in Middle English local documents

Edited by Merja Stenroos and Kjetil V. ThengsUniversity of Stavanger

English local documents – leases, wills, accounts, letters and the like – provide a unique resource for historical sociolinguistics. Abundant from the early fifteenth century, they represent the language and concerns of people from a wide range of social, institutional and geographical backgrounds. However, as rela-tively few documents have been available digitally or in print, they have been an underresearched resource.

This volume shows the tremendous potential of late- and post-medieval English local documents: highly variable in language, often colourful, including developing formulae as well as glimpses of actual recorded speech. The volume contains eleven chapters relating to a new resource, A Corpus of Middle English Local Documents (MELD). The first four chapters outline a theoretical and methodological approach to the study of local documents. The remaining seven present studies of different as-pects of the material, including supralocalization, local patterns of spelling and morphology, land terminology, punctuation, formulaicness and multilingualism.

Perfects in Indo-European Languages and BeyondEdited by Robert Crellin and Thomas JügelUniversity of Cambridge / Goethe University Frankfurt am Main

This volume provides a detailed investigation of perfects from all the branches of the Indo-European language family, in some cases representing the first ever comprehensive description. Thorough philological examinations result in empirically well-founded analyses illustrated with over 940 examples. The unique temporal depth and diatopic breadth of attested Indo-European languages permits the investigation of both TAME (Tense-Aspect-Mood-Evidentiality) systems over time and recurring cycles of change, as well as synchronic patterns of areal distribution and contact phenomena. These possibilities are fully exploited in the volume. Furthermore, the cross-linguistic perspective adopted by many authors, as well as the inclusion of contributions which go beyond the boundaries of the Indo-European family per se, facilitates typological comparison. As such, the volume is intended to serve as a springboard for future research both into the semantics of the perfect in Indo-Europe-an itself, and verb systems across the world’s languages.

History of LinguisticsLast Papers in Linguistic HistoriographyE.F.K. Koerner

This volume brings together – in 8 chap-ters – what has occupied the author during his many years as editor of Historiographia Linguistica. Namely, how the history of lin-guistics has developed into a major field of scholarly research, and that the discussion of questions of method and epistemology needs to be continued to avoid stereotypi-cal practice. The author takes up a number of subjects that often had been regarded as settled, but which require a revisit. This is shown in several chapters, whether it ap-pears subjects like ‘analogy’ or the relation-ships between well-known linguists like Saussure, Hermann Paul, and others.

The Corporate TerminologistKara WarburtonUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Copy Editor: Emma Warburton

The Corporate Terminologist is the first monograph that ad-dresses the principles and methods for managing terminol-ogy in content production environments that are both demanding and multilingual, such as those found in global companies and institutions. It describes the needs of large corporations and how those needs demand a new, pragmat-ic approach to terminology management. The repurpos-ability of terminology resources is a fundamental criterion that motivates the design, selection, and use of terminol-ogy management tools, and has a bearing on the definition of termhood itself. The Corporate Terminologist describes and critiques the theories and methods informing terminol-ogy management today, and practical considerations such as preparing an executive proposal, designing a termbase, and extracting terms from corpora are also covered. This book is intended for readers tasked with managing termi-nology in today’s challenging production environments, for those studying translation and business communica-tion, and indeed for anyone interested in terminology as a discipline and practice.

Defining with Simple Vocabulary in English DictionariesMariusz Piotr KaminskiUniversity of Applied Sciences in Nysa

This book investigates an important but under-researched as-pect of dictionary making: the use of a controlled vocabulary in definitions. The main concern of the author is the role of a definition vocabulary in how foreign learners understand and perceive dictionary definitions. The author takes the reader through a detailed historical account of controlled vocabularies and examines definitions in a range of English dictionaries with respect to their vocabulary loads. He performs a series of experiments with university students to reveal merits and shortcomings of restricted vocabularies. This monograph has been written with the aim to fill a gap in the literature on defining vocabulary. It is intended for lexicographers, dictionary editors, course designers, teachers, and students, as well as anyone who wishes to explain words in an intelligible way.

Mit einer Edition des Ms. BU Salamanca 156 von 1653

Sven K. Knebel

Molinism, formerly an invective, is nowadays a topic of philosophy. This book, however, does not deal with the modern renaissance of Middle Knowledge, rather, it explores its proliferation during the 17th and 18th centuries. The focus shifts from reviewing current trends in Church History to rehearsing the metaphysics that backed up Middle Knowledge.

Fact, in Molinism, is threefold: It could have been otherwise, it belongs to some possible world, it is necessarily known by the Omniscient. Whereas the classical account of God’s foreknowledge rests on its being postvolitional, the Mo-linist qualification of this account denies that it applies to the counterfactuals. On what else then does it prevolitionally depend that God knows for sure something to happen rather than not to happen?

The Salmantine Treatise on God’s foreknowledge edited here provides some ad-ditional piece of evidence of a deep Molinist disagreement. Though the manuscript was ready for print in 1653, this business failed and the manuscript fell into oblivi-on along with its author. The Jesuit Luke Wadding (1593-1651) belongs to a number of men from Waterford who at a time, when intolerance forced Catholics into large scale emigration, hopefully turned towards Spain. He must not be confounded with his famous namesake, the Franciscan friar, who was his cousin.

Translation & TerminologyLiterary Translator StudiesEdited by Klaus Kaindl, Waltraud Kolb and Daniela SchlagerUniversity of Vienna

This volume extends and deepens our understanding of Translator Studies by charting new territory in terms of theory, methods and concepts. The focus is on literary translators, their roles, identities, and personalities. The book introduces pertinent translator-cen-tered approaches in four sections: historical-biographical studies, social-scientific and process-oriented methods, and approaches that use paratexts or translations to study literary translators. Drawing on a variety of concepts, such as identity, role, self, posture, habitus, and voice, the various chapters showcase forgotten literary transla-tors and shed new light on some well-known figures; they examine literary translators not as functioning units but as human beings in their uniqueness. Literary Translator Studies as a subdiscipline of Translation Studies demonstrates how exploring the cultural, social, psychological, and cognitive facets of translatorial subjects contributes to a holistic understanding of translation.

Literary Translation in PeriodicalsMethodological challenges for a transnational approach

Edited by Laura Fólica, Diana Roig-Sanz and Stefania CaristiaUniversitat Oberta de Catalunya / Université de Lille

While translation history, literary translation, and periodical publi-cations have been extensively analyzed within the fields of Transla-tion Studies, Comparative Literature, and Communication Sciences, the relationship between these three topics remains underexplored. Literary Translation in Periodicals argues that there is a pressing need for an analytical focus on translation in periodicals, a collaborative network of researchers, and a transnational and interdisciplinary approach. The book pursues two goals: (1) to highlight the innova-tive theoretical and methodological issues intrinsic to analyzing literary translation in periodical publications on a small and large scale, and (2) to contribute to a developing field by providing several case studies on translation in periodicals over a wide range of areas and periods (Europe, Latin America, and Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries) that go beyond the more traditional focus on national and European periodicals and translations. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, as well as hermeneutical and socio-logical approaches, this book reviews conceptual and methodologi-cal tools and proposes innovative techniques, such as social network analysis, big data, and large-scale analysis, for tracing the history and evolution of literary translation in periodical publications.

Translation & TerminologyAudiovisual Translation in Applied LinguisticsEducational perspectives

Edited by Laura Incalcaterra McLoughlin, Jennifer Lertola and Noa TalavánNational University of Ireland, Galway / Università del Piemonte Orientale / Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia

In recent years, interest in the application of audiovisual transla-tion (AVT) techniques in language teaching has grown beyond unconnected case studies to create a lively network of method-ological intertextuality, cross-references, reviews and continu-ation of previous trials, ultimately defining a recognisable and scalable trend. Whilst the use of AVT as a support in language teaching is not new, this volume looks at a different application of AVT, with learners involved in the audiovisual translation process itself, performing tasks such as subtitling, dubbing, or audio de-scribing. It therefore presents a sample of the current research in this field, with particular reference to case studies that either have a large-scale or international dimension, or can be scaled and replicated in various contexts. It is our hope that these contributions will arouse the interest of publishers of language learning material and other stakeholders and ultimately lead to the mainstreaming of AVT in language education.

Opera in TranslationUnity and diversity

Edited by Adriana Serban and Kelly Kar Yue ChanUniversité Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 / The Open University of Hong Kong

This volume covers aspects of opera translation within the Western world and in Asia, as well as some of opera’s many travels between continents, countries, languages and cul-tures—and also between genres and media. The concept of ‘adaptation’ is a thread running through the sixteen contribu-tions, which encompass a variety of composers, operas, periods and national traditions. Sung translation, libretto translation, surtitling, subtitling are discussed from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Exploration of aspects such as the relationship between language and music, multimodal-ity, intertextuality, cultural and linguistic transfer, multilin-gualism, humour, identity and stereotype, political ideology, the translator’s voice and the role of the audience is driven by a shared motivation: a love of opera and of the beauty it has never ceased to provide through the centuries, and admiration for the people who write, compose, perform, direct, translate, or otherwise contribute to making the joy of opera a part of our lives.

Translation in Knowledge, Knowledge in TranslationEdited by Rocío G. Sumillera, Jan Surman and Katharina KühnUniversidad de Granada / Independent scholar / Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen

This volume explores the intersection between Translation Studies and History and Philosophy of Science to shed light on the workings of scientific communities, the dissemination of knowledge across languages and cultures, and the transforma-tion in the process of that knowledge and of the scientific com-munities involved, among other issues. Through a diachronic approach, from some chapters focussing on early modernity to others that explore the final decades of the twentieth century, and by considering myriad languages, from Latin to Hindi, the twelve chapters of this volume reflect specifically on: (A) processes of the construction and dissemination of knowledge through the work of specific agents (whether individuals or collectives); (B) the implementation of particular linguistic strategies and visual tools in the translation of knowledge and in the diffusion of translated knowledge; and (C) the role of institutions and governments in the devising and implemen-tation of translation policies, as well as the impact of these.

Landscapes of RealismRethinking literary realism in comparative perspectives

Volume I: Mapping realism

Edited by Dirk Göttsche, Rosa Mucignat and Robert WeningerUniversity of Nottingham / King’s College London

Few literary phenomena are as elusive and yet as persistent as realism. While it responds to the perennial impulse to use literature to reflect on experience, it also designates a specific set of literary and artistic practices that emerged in response to Western modernity. Landscapes of Realism is a two-volume collaborative interdisciplinary exploration of this vast territory, bringing together leading-edge new criticism on the realist paradigms that were first articulated in nineteenth-century Europe but have since gone on globally to transform the literary landscape. Tracing the manifold ways in which these paradigms are developed, discussed and contested across time, space, cultures and media, this first volume tackles in its five core essays and twenty-five case studies such questions as why realism emerged when it did, why and how it developed such a transformative dynamic across languages, to what extent realist poetics remain central to art and popular culture after 1900, and how generally to reassess realism from a twenty-first-century comparative perspective.

Style and Reader ResponseMinds, media, methods

Edited by Alice Bell, Sam Browse, Alison Gibbons and David PeplowSheffield Hallam University

Style and Reader Response: Minds, media, methods profiles the diver-sity of theoretical and methodological approaches in reception-oriented research in stylistics. Collectively, the chapters investi-gate how real readers, players, audiences, and viewers respond to, experience, and interpret texts. Contributions to the book investigate discourse types such as contemporary literature, po-etry, political speeches, digital fiction, art exhibitions, and on-line news discourse. The volume also exemplifies the variety of empirical approaches in reception research, with contributors drawing on a range of methods including discussion groups, interviews, questionnaires, and think-aloud protocols with data analysed from both online and offline sources. Style and Reader Response makes an important contribution to an emerg-ing paradigm within stylistics in which verifiable insights from readers are used to generate new models and new understand-ings of texts across media, with each essay demonstrating the centrality of empirical research for theoretical, methodological, and/or analytical advancements within and beyond stylistics.

Audiovisual Translation in Applied LinguisticsEducational perspectives

Edited by Laura Incalcaterra McLoughlin, Jennifer Lertola and Noa TalavánNational University of Ireland, Galway / Università del Piemonte Orientale / Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia

In recent years, interest in the application of audiovisual transla-tion (AVT) techniques in language teaching has grown beyond unconnected case studies to create a lively network of method-ological intertextuality, cross-references, reviews and continu-ation of previous trials, ultimately defining a recognisable and scalable trend. Whilst the use of AVT as a support in language teaching is not new, this volume looks at a different application of AVT, with learners involved in the audiovisual translation process itself, performing tasks such as subtitling, dubbing, or audio de-scribing. It therefore presents a sample of the current research in this field, with particular reference to case studies that either have a large-scale or international dimension, or can be scaled and replicated in various contexts. It is our hope that these contributions will arouse the interest of publishers of language learning material and other stakeholders and ultimately lead to the mainstreaming of AVT in language education.

Language in PlaceStylistic perspectives on landscape, place and environment

Edited by Daniela Francesca Virdis, Elisabetta Zurru and Ernestine LaheyUniversity of Cagliari / University of Genoa / University College Roosevelt

The contributions in this collection offer a wide range of stylistic perspectives on landscape, place and environment, by focusing on a variety of text-types ranging from poetry, the Bible, fictional and non-fictional prose, to newspaper articles, condo names, online texts and exhibitions. Employ-ing both established and cutting-edge methodologies from, among others, corpus linguistics, metaphor studies, Text World Theory and ecostylistics, the eleven chapters in the volume provide an overview of how landscape, place and environment are encoded and can be investigated in literary and non-literary discourse. The studies collected here stand as evidence of the possibility of, and the need for, a “stylistics of landscape”, which emphasises how represented spaces are made manifest linguistically; a “stylistics of place”, which focuses on the discursive and affective qualities of those represented spaces; and a “stylistics of environment”, which reiterates the urgency for environmentally-responsible humanities, able to support a change in the anthropocen-tric narrative which poses humans as the most important variable in the human-animal and human-environment relationships.

Negation, Expectation and Ideology in Written TextsA textual and communicative perspective

Lisa NahajecLiverpool Hope University

During an election campaign in 2008, Ken Livingstone said to a newspaper reporter “this election is not a joke”. By do-ing so, he introduced an expectation into the discourse that someone does, in fact, think it is a joke. This book explores how it is that saying what is not the case communicates something about what is. Bringing together a focus on text with cognitive and pragmatic approaches, a case is made for an application of linguistic negation as a tool of analysis. This tool is used to explore the ideological implications of projecting or reflecting readerly expectations. This book contributes to the growing field of Critical stylistics and aims to add to the range of stylistic insights which anchor the analysis of discourse to a consideration of the nuances of language choice.

Literary StudiesLiterary Communication as DialogueResponsibilities and pleasures in post-postmodern times

Selected papers 2003-2020

Roger D. SellÅbo Akademi University

As traced by Roger D. Sell, literary communication is a process of community-making. As long as literary authors and those responding to them respect each other’s human autonomy, literature flourishes as an enjoyable, though often challenging mode of interaction that is truly dialogical in spirit. This gives rise to author-respondent communi-ties whose members represent existential commonalities blended together with historical differences.

These heterogeneous literary communities have a larger social significance, in that they have long served as coun-terweights to the hegemonic tendencies of modernity, and more recently to postmodernity’s well-intentioned but restrictive politics of identity. In post-postmodern times, their ethos is increasingly one of pleasurable egalitarianism. The despondent anti-hedonism of the twentieth century intelligentsia can now seem rather dated.

Some of the papers selected for this volume develop Sell’s ideas in mainly theoretical terms. But most of them offer detailed criticism of particular anglophone writers, ranging from Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and other poets and drama-tists of the early modern period, through Wordsworth and Coleridge, to Dickens, Pinter, and Rushdie.

Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary HistoryEdited by Gunilla Hermansson and Jens Lohfert JørgensenUniversity of Gothenburg / Aalborg University

How did Nordic culture become associated with the fuzzy brand “cool”, as by default? In Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary History twenty-one scholars in collaboration question the seemingly natural fit between “Nordic” and “Cool” by investigating its variegated trajectories through literary history, from medieval legends to digital poetry. At the same time, the elasticity and polysemy of the word “cool” become a means to explore Nordic literary history afresh. It opens up a rich diversity of theoretical and methodological ap-proaches within a regional framework and reveals hitherto unseen links between familiar and less familiar tracks and sites. Following diverse paths of “Nordic cool” in respect to – among other things – nature, survival, love, whiteness, style, economics, heroism and colonialism, this book challenges all-too-recognisable narratives, and underlines the sheer knowledge potential of literary historical research.
