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, coherence 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 communica-tion, 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 hi-erarchic design of the mind-brain is explored next, probing the coherent organization of major brain systems-perception, at-tention, 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 cohesion, 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 homo-geneity diversity in large-scale Societies of Strangers.

Norwegian Verb ParticlesLeiv Inge AaNorwegian University of Science and Technology

This book aims to explain the syntax and semantics of Nor-wegian 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 Norwe-gian particles are preferred as LPrt (corresponding to English ‘throw out the dog’). While spatial particles can appear in both positions, non-spatial particles primarily appear as LPrt. A complex predicate 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 theoretical ac-counts of Norwegian particles are reviewed in a separate chapter.

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-breaking and inspirational for the authors in this book, as well as nu-merous other scholars working on the various facets of this rapidly expanding field.

Mass and Count in Linguistics, Philosophy, and Cognitive ScienceEdited by Friederike MoltmannCNRS & University of Paris 1

The mass-count distinction is a morpho-syntactic distinction among nouns that is generally taken to have semantic con-tent. This content is generally taken to reflect a conceptual, cognitive, or ontological distinction and relates to philo-sophical and cognitive notions of unity, identity, and count-ing. 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 understood 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 distinction and semantic and cognitive distinctions, diagnostics for mass and count, the distribu-tion and role of numeral classifiers, abstract mass nouns, and object mass nouns ( furniture, police force, clothing).

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 Univer-sity. 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 advanc-ing research and complex methodological explorations in a broad range of topics in Persian syntax, morphology, phonol-ogy, semantics, typology and classification, as well as historical linguistics. Some of the papers also investigate less-studied and endangered Iranian languages such as Tat, Gilaki and Mazanda-rani, 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.

Austronesian UndressedHow and why languages become isolating

Edited by David Gil and Antoinette SchapperMax Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena / LACITO, CNRS

Many Austronesian languages exhibit isolating word structure. This volume offers a series of investigations into these languag-es, 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 ques-tion of how and why languages become isolating, by examina-tion 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 creoliza-tion, metatypy, and Sprachbund effects. This volume should be of interest not only to Austronesianists and historians of Insular Southeast Asia, but also to grammarians, typologists, historical linguists, creolists, and specialists in language contact.

Past Participle AgreementA study on the grammaticalization of formal features

Jorge Vega VilanovaUniversity of Hamburg

In this book the traditional definition of ‘grammaticaliza-tion’ is challenged in the light of current developments in grammar theory. The main innovation 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 conse-quence of the grammaticalization of formal features. The emergence of syntactic formal features through grammati-calization is understood as a last-resort repair mechanism for pragmatically costly derivations. Further far-reaching implications of this proposal under discussion are: the in-terplay between (re-)parametrization, economy, cyclicity and grammaticalization; 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 lan-guages but also to anyone working on diachronic linguistics.

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 Hebrew. Like many languages, the system of Classical Hebrew copular sentences is quite complex, containing zero, pronominal, and verbal forms as well as eventive and inchoative semantics. Approaching this subject from the framework of Distributed Morphology provides an elegant and comprehensive explanation for both the syntactic and semantic variation 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 apply-ing 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 German grammar. Thetics were introduced in logic as impersonal 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 cri-terion 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 detopi-calization. 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 distribu-tions of impersonals in contrast to Kantian categorical sentences, but also the correspondences in Japanese and Chinese which, in contrast to German and English, sport specific morphological markers for thetics as opposed to categoricals.

Beyond Emotion s in LanguagePsychological verbs at the interfaces

Edited by Bo˙zena Rozwadowska

and Anna BondarukUniversity of Wrocław / John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin

This book sheds new light on the puzzle of psycho-logical 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 contributions of the book lies in posit-ing a new typology of basic event types enriched with the initial boundary events. Moreover, due attention is devoted to dative experiencers as compared to accusa-tive 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.

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: govern-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 investi-gation of adjectival passives, which are stative predicate of sorts. For object-experiencer 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 loca-tion 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 ‘grammaticaliza-tion’ is challenged in the light of current developments in grammar theory. The main innovation 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 conse-quence of the grammaticalization of formal features. The emergence of syntactic formal features through grammati-calization is understood as a last-resort repair mechanism for pragmatically costly derivations. Further far-reaching implications of this proposal under discussion are: the in-terplay between (re-)parametrization, economy, cyclicity and grammaticalization; 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 lan-guages but also to anyone working on diachronic linguistics.

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 coexistence 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 quantita-tive approaches, as well as both controlled and spontaneous data elicitation procedures, to shed light on how linguistic, histori-cal, 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 phonology, 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 under-standing of how native and non-native varieties of Spanish co-exist with other languages and dialects under the influ-ence of several linguistic and extra-linguistic forces. While some papers analyze the linguistic dynamics affecting Span-ish grammars from a cross-dialectal perspective, others focus more closely on the relations established between Spanish and other languages with which it is in contact. In particular, some of these studies show how power and prestige may sup-port (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).

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

Edited by Pascal Hohaus and Rainer SchulzeUniversity of Hanover

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), pos-sibility 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 involving 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 differ-ent 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 complement a multi-perspectival enter-prise that is intended to bring research in this area a step forward.

Approaches to HungarianVolume 16: Papers from the 2017 Budapest Conference

Edited by Veronika Hegedus and Irene VogelHungarian Academy of Sciences / University of Delaware

This volume contains selected papers from the 13th Interna-tional Conference on the Structure of Hungarian (Budapest, 2017).The contributions address current issues in Hungarian linguistics, including comparisons with other languages (e.g., English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish).

Specifically, the phonetics and phonology papers present ex-perimental and corpus studies of /h/ voicing, the acoustics of Hungarian word stress, and vowel harmony in harmonically mixed stems. The papers on syntax and semantics discuss object agreement and its locality restrictions, equative mark-ers in German and Hungarian diachronically and synchron-ically, anaphoric possessor strategies and definite article distribution, and the semantics of various aspectual adverbs. Experimental studies of information structure examine the linear placement of textually given topical constituents post-verbally, exhaustivity inferences with focus partitioning in German, English and Hungarian, and contextual factors licensing Hungarian structural focus. The broad range of topics ensures that this volume will interest scholars of Hun-garian and theoretical linguists more generally.

The NP-strategy for Expressing ReciprocityTypology, history, syntax and semantics

Elitzur A. Bar-Asher SiegalThe Hebrew University of Jerusalem

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the syntax and semantics of a single linguistic phenomenon – the NP-strategy for expressing reciprocity – in synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspectives. It challenges the assumption common in the typological, syntactic, and se-mantic literature, namely that so-called reciprocal construc-tions encode symmetric relations. Instead, they are analyzed as constructions encoding unspecified relations. In effect, it provides a new proposal for the truth-conditional semantics of these constructions. More broadly, this book introduces new ways of bringing together historical linguistics and formal semantics, demonstrating how, on the one hand, the inclusion of historical data concerning the sources of reciprocal constructions enriches their synchronic analysis; and how, on the other hand, an analysis of the syntax and the semantics of these constructions serves as a key for under-standing their historical origins.

The ‘Noun Phrase’ across LanguagesAn emergent unit in interaction

Edited by Tsuyoshi Ono and Sandra A. ThompsonUniversity of Alberta / University of California, Santa Barbara

The ‘NP’ is one of the least controversial grammatical units that linguists work with. The NP is often assumed to be universal, and appears to be robust cross-linguistically (com-pared to ‘VP’ or even ‘clause’) in that it can be manipulated in argument positions in constructed examples. Furthermore, for any given language, its internal structure (order and type of modifiers) tends to be relatively fixed. Surprisingly, how-ever, the empirical basis for ‘NP’ has never been established. The chapters in this volume examine the NP in everyday interactions from diverse languages, including little-studied languages as well as better-researched ones, in a variety of interactional settings. Together, these chapters show that cross-linguistically, the category NP is not as robust as has been assumed: in the context of temporally unfolding hu-man interaction, its structural status is constantly negotiated in terms of participants’ evolving social agendas.

Palenquero and Spanish in ContactExploring the interface

John M. LipskiThe Pennsylvania State University

Bilingual speakers are normally aware of what language they are speaking or hearing; there is, however, no widely ac-cepted consensus on the degree of lexical and morphosyntac-tic similarity that defines the psycholinguistic threshold of distinct languages. This book focuses on the Afro-Colombian creole language Palenquero, spoken in bilingual contact with its historical lexifier, Spanish. Although sharing largely cognate lexicons, the languages are in general not mutually intelligible. For example, Palenquero exhibits no adjective-noun or verb-subject agreement, uses pre-verbal tense-mood-aspect particles, and exhibits unbounded clause-final negation. The present study represents a first attempt at mapping the psycholinguistic boundaries between Spanish and Palenquero from the speakers’ own perspective, includ-ing traditional native Palenquero speakers, adult heritage speakers, and young native Spanish speakers who are acquiring Palenquero as a second language. The latter group also provides insights into the possible cognitive cost of “de-activating” Spanish morphological agreement as well as the relative efficiency of pre-verbal vs. clause-final negation. In this study, corpus-based analyses are combined with an array of interactive experimental techniques, demonstrating that externally-imposed classifications do not always correspond to speakers’ own partitioning of language usage in their communities.

LinguisticsThe Expression of Tense, Aspect, Modality and Evidentiality in Albert Camus’s L’Étranger and Its Translations / L’Étranger de Camus et ses traductions : questions de temps, d’aspect, de modalité et d’évidentialité (TAME)An empirical study / Etude empirique

Edited by Eric Corre, Danh Thành Do-Hurinville and Huy Linh DaoUniversité Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 / Université de Besançon France-Comté / INALCO

This book deals with the linguistic treatment of tense-aspect-modal-evidential (TAME) expressions in translations of the French novel L’Étranger by Albert Camus into sixteen languages. It is strongly empirical in spirit, and uses the method of contrastive linguistics and multilingual com-parison through the use of parallel corpora. It has five main parts: the first two offer insights into perfect and imperfect tenses in Indo-European languages; the third part shifts the focus on non Indo-European languages; the fourth part deals with modality, and the last part is more translation-oriented. These contents make this book a valuable contribution in semantic micro-typology. In terms of readership, both linguists and specialists in translation, as well as literature scholars, can benefit from the contributions presented in this book. It also relates to other usage-based, corpus-driven studies of TAME phenomena, and to monographs that take as their object of study the use of corpus linguistics in translation studies.

Follow the SignsArchetypes of consciousness embodied in the signs of language

Rodney B. Sangster

In this his latest book, Sangster presents a comprehensive theory that takes the cognitive view of language in a promis-ing new direction, based upon how linguistic signs relate to one another at different levels of consciousness. At the ratio-nal level, where signs are necessarily experienced in context, they are primarily polysemic. At the transpersonal or pre-contextual level, however, they are monosemic, constituting a dynamic and self-organizing relational structure capable of producing a potentially infinite variety of contextual appli-cations. The two levels are united by a stochastic or somatic selection process called contextualization, where feedback from experience assures the evolution of the system. The relational structure itself is composed of archetypes of space and time consciousness that derive from the evolution of the linguistic sign from the signaling behavior of antecedent species. Detailed analyses are provided to explain how the archetypes structure meaning in both the grammatical and lexical spheres, as well as in syntax.

Silently Structured Silent ArgumentYuta SakamotoMeiji University

Theoretical linguistics in the generative tradition has payed much attention to issues related to silence ? children know the syntax of silence despite the fact that they do not have direct access to it throughout their language acquisition process. One of the issues that have been hotly discussed regarding silence in natural languages is whether it involves syntactic structure or not. This book is concerned with a particular instance of silence in natural languages, what is called radical pro-drop, showing that it is silently structured on the basis of novel data from Japanese as well as Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish. The discussion in this book also has consequences for the dichotomy between PF-deletion vs. LF-copying, shedding a new light on the proper analysis of several syntactic phenom-ena in Japanese, including wh-in-situ and control.

The NP-strategy for Expressing ReciprocityTypology, history, syntax and semantics

Elitzur A. Bar-Asher SiegalThe Hebrew University of Jerusalem

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the syntax and semantics of a single linguistic phenomenon – the NP-strategy for expressing reciprocity – in synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspectives. It challenges the assumption common in the typological, syntactic, and se-mantic literature, namely that so-called reciprocal construc-tions encode symmetric relations. Instead, they are analyzed as constructions encoding unspecified relations. In effect, it provides a new proposal for the truth-conditional semantics of these constructions. More broadly, this book introduces new ways of bringing together historical linguistics and formal semantics, demonstrating how, on the one hand, the inclusion of historical data concerning the sources of reciprocal constructions enriches their synchronic analysis; and how, on the other hand, an analysis of the syntax and the semantics of these constructions serves as a key for under-standing their historical origins.

The ‘Noun Phrase’ across LanguagesAn emergent unit in interaction

Edited by Tsuyoshi Ono and Sandra A. ThompsonUniversity of Alberta / University of California, Santa Barbara

The ‘NP’ is one of the least controversial grammatical units that linguists work with. The NP is often assumed to be universal, and appears to be robust cross-linguistically (com-pared to ‘VP’ or even ‘clause’) in that it can be manipulated in argument positions in constructed examples. Furthermore, for any given language, its internal structure (order and type of modifiers) tends to be relatively fixed. Surprisingly, how-ever, the empirical basis for ‘NP’ has never been established. The chapters in this volume examine the NP in everyday interactions from diverse languages, including little-studied languages as well as better-researched ones, in a variety of interactional settings. Together, these chapters show that cross-linguistically, the category NP is not as robust as has been assumed: in the context of temporally unfolding hu-man interaction, its structural status is constantly negotiated in terms of participants’ evolving social agendas.

Theoretical LinguisticsThe Expression of Tense, Aspect, Modality and Evidentiality in Albert Camus’s L’Étranger and Its Translations / L’Étranger de Camus et ses traductions : questions de temps, d’aspect, de modalité et d’évidentialité (TAME)An empirical study / Etude empirique

Edited by Eric Corre, Danh Thành Do-Hurinville and Huy Linh DaoUniversité Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 / Université de Besançon France-Comté / INALCO

This book deals with the linguistic treatment of tense-aspect-modal-evidential (TAME) expressions in translations of the French novel L’Étranger by Albert Camus into sixteen languages. It is strongly empirical in spirit, and uses the method of contrastive linguistics and multilingual com-parison through the use of parallel corpora. It has five main parts: the first two offer insights into perfect and imperfect tenses in Indo-European languages; the third part shifts the focus on non Indo-European languages; the fourth part deals with modality, and the last part is more translation-oriented. These contents make this book a valuable contribution in semantic micro-typology. In terms of readership, both linguists and specialists in translation, as well as literature scholars, can benefit from the contributions presented in this book. It also relates to other usage-based, corpus-driven studies of TAME phenomena, and to monographs that take as their object of study the use of corpus linguistics in translation studies.

Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 16Selected papers from the 47th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), Newark, Delaware

Edited by Irene VogelUniversity of Delaware

The chapters in this book represent the theme of “bridges” – bridging research approaches and directions across languages, methodologies and disciplines. Alongside descriptive and theo-retical studies, the contributions present experimental studies addressing issues in syntax, phonetics-phonology and sociolin-guistics. And alongside investigations of linguistic phenomena in standard Romance language varieties, other investigations address less well-known and studied, minority and endangered varieties (e.g., Quebec French, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Galician, Catalan and Palenquero) from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Romance languages in contact with other languages and bilingualism, now also integral aspects of the field, are reflected in this volume as well, including less well-known cases of contemporary contact of Serbian with Ro-manian, and earlier contact of African languages with Spanish and Portuguese. This volume thus continues the decades long tradition of the Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages of embracing cutting-edge developments in the field.

English ResultativesA force-recipient account

Seizi IwataKansai University

The objective of this book is to develop a force-recipient account of English resultatives. Within this approach the post-verbal NP is a recipient of a verbal force, whether it is a subcatego-rized object or not, and the verbal force being exerted onto the post-verbal NP is responsible for bringing about the change as specified by the result phrase. It is shown that many apparent puzzles posed by English resultatives are due to the complex interplay between the verb meaning and the constructional meaning, or between the verb meaning and the semantics of the result phrase. Thus the proposed account can provide answers to the question “Which resultatives are possible and which are not?” in a coherent way. Also, the proposed account reveals that English resultatives are not a monolithic phenomenon, and that some “resultatives” cited in the literature as such are not resultatives at all. This book is of interest not only to practitio-ners of Construction Grammar but also to everyone interested in English resultatives.

“English Resultatives: A force-recipient account pres-ents a masterly synthesis of the English resultative construction, based on detailed corpus analysis of British and American Eng-lish. Iwata presents a force dynamic analysis of English resultative constructions that addresses many of the issues found with earlier accounts. In Iwata’s analysis, schematic construction meanings interact with rich verb meanings to account for the distributional pat-terns of verbs in resulta-tive constructions and the semantic interpretation of particular verbs in the resul-tative construction. English Resultatives will serve as the reference point for future research on the resultative construction in English and other languages.”

Brazilian Portuguese, Syntax and Semantics20 years of Núcleo de Estudos Gramaticais

Edited by Roberta Pires De Oliveira, Ina Emmel and Sandra QuarezeminFederal University of Santa Catarina/Federal University of Paraná/CNPq / Federal University of Santa Catarina/CNPq

This book opens with Angelika Kratzer and Luigi Rizzi talking about contemporary issues, such as non-recursiveness of focus and the semantics of topics. The chapters climb down the spine from the left periphery to DP: the value of subjunctive across the history of German, expressive expressions in Brazilian Portu-guese, left and right dislocation and the speaker’s perspective in Italian, Brazilian double subjects and left dislocated topic, long versus short wh-movement in Brazilian Portuguese and Quebec French, low adverbs and the raising of the verb in Brazilian Portuguese, ellipsis and null objects in Brazilian and European Portuguese, and bare singulars in Brazilian Portuguese. The chapters propose original accounts for language variation and historical changes, most of them focusing on Brazilian Portu-guese, a challenge to syntax and semantics. Thus, the volume contributes to Brazilian and Portuguese Linguistics, as well as to general and contemporary research on syntax and semantics of natural languages.

Right Peripheral FragmentsRight dislocation and related phenomena in Romance

Javier Fernández-SánchezUniversity of Gdansk

In recent years, a number of authors (De Vries 2009, Truck-enbrodt 2015, Ott and de Vries 2016, inter alia) have defended that right dislocations (RD) should be treated as bisentential structures, where the “dislocated” constituent is actually a remnant of a clausal ellipsis operation licensed under identity with an antecedent clause. Although Romance RD is a fertile area of research, the consequences of the biclausal analysis remain unexplored in these languages. This mono-graph intends to fill this gap. Adopting this approach not only solves some issues that have always been at the core of dislocation structures in general; it also allows us to uncover novel sets of data and to provide straightforward explana-tions for well-known generalizations. Further, it brings RD along with a set of phenomena which are structurally very similar, like afterthoughts or split questions, which have been independently argued to display a bisentential structure. Under alternative, monoclausal approaches to RD, the striking similarities between these phenomena must be rendered anecdotal.

Computational PhraseologyEdited by Gloria Corpas Pastor and Jean-Pierre ColsonUniversity of Malaga / University of Louvain

Whether you wish to deliver on a promise, take a walk down memory lane or even on the wild side, phraseological units (also often referred to as phrasemes or multiword expressions) are present in most communicative situations and in all world’s languages. Phraseology, the study of phraseological units, has therefore become a rare unifying theme across linguistic theories.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been concerned with the computational treatment of multiword expressions: these pertain among others to their automatic identification, extraction or translation, and to the role they play in various Natural Language Processing applications. Computational Phraseology is a comparatively new field where better understanding and more advances are urgently needed. This book aims to address this pressing need, by bringing together contributions focusing on different per-spectives of this promising interdisciplinary field.

Canvi lingüístic, estandardització i identitat en català / Linguistic Change, Standardization and Identity in CatalanEdited by Hans-Ingo RadatzOtto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg

The multiplicity of parallel identities that make up our per-sonalities is a phenomenon in which our individual identitary choices merge with diverse collective identities. The present volume is a contribution to the field of Identity Studies, but from a clearly linguistic perspective. It unites several contribu-tions which analyze discourses centered on national or regional identities – as for instance the Catalanity of the frontier city of Lleida, the connection between the natural environment and the conceptualization of deictic space, or the dialectics between cen-ter and periphery. Other chapters try to shed light on problems arising from the particular situation of Catalan as a non-state language. The contributions thus range from aspects of Cultural Studies on identities and their constituting discourses to Cata-lan linguistics and sociolinguistics.

Theoretical LinguisticsNodes and Networks in Diachronic Construction GrammarEdited by Lotte Sommerer and Elena SmirnovaUniversity of Vienna / Université de Neuchâtel

This volume brings together ten contributions by leading experts who present their current usage-based research in Dia-chronic Construction Grammar. All papers contribute to the discussion of how to conceptualize constructional networks best and how to model changes in the constructicon, as for example node creation or loss, node-external reconfiguration of the network or in/decrease in productivity and schematicity. The authors discuss the theoretical status of allostructions, homostructions, constructional families and constructional paradigms. The terminological distinction between con-structionalization and constructional change is revisited. It is shown how constructional competition but also general cognitive abilities like analogical thinking and schematization relate to the structure and reorganization of the constructional network. Most contributions focus on the nature of vertical and horizontal links. Finally, contributions to the volume also discuss how existing network models should be enriched or reconceptualized in order to integrate theoretical, psychologi-cal and neurological aspects missing so far.

Frame-Constructional Verb ClassesChange and Theft verbs in English and German

Ryan DuxSam Houston State University

While verb classes are a mainstay of linguistic research, the field lacks consensus on precisely what constitutes a verb class. This book presents a novel approach to verb classes, employing a bottom-up, corpus-based methodology and combining key insights from Frame Semantics, Construction Grammar, and Valency Grammar. On this approach, verb classes are formulated at varying granu-larity levels to adequately capture both the shared semantic and syntactic properties unifying verbs of a class and the idiosyncrat-ic properties unique to individual verbs. In-depth analyses based on this approach shed light on the interrelations between verbs, frame-semantics, and constructions, and on the semantic rich-ness and network organization of grammatical constructions.This approach is extended to a comparison of Change and Theft verbs, revealing unexpected lexical and syntactic differences across semantically distinct classes. Finally, a range of contrastive (German–English) analyses demonstrate how verb classes can in-form the cross-linguistic comparison of verbs and constructions.

Amazonian SpanishLanguage contact and evolution

Edited by Stephen FafulasUniversity of Mississippi

Amazonian Spanish: Language contact and evolution explores the unique origins, linguistic features, and geo-political situa-tion of the Spanish that has emerged in the Amazon. While this region boasts much linguistic diversity, many of the indigenous languages found within its limits are now being replaced by Spanish. This situation of language expansion, contact, and bilingualism is reshaping the sociolinguistic landscape of the Amazon by creating a number of Spanish varieties with innovative linguistic features that require closer scholarly attention. The current book documents this situation in detail. The chapters in this volume include work on distinct geographical regions of the Amazon, with primary data collected using different methodologies and language contact situations. The scholars in this volume specialize in an array of fields, including anthropological linguistics, bilingualism, language contact, dialectology, and language acquisition. Their work represents both formal and functional approaches to linguistics.

Hispanic Contact LinguisticsTheoretical, methodological and empirical perspectives

Edited by Luis A. Ortiz López, Rosa E. Guzzardo Tamargo and Melvin González-RiveraUniversity of Puerto Rico

This volume comprises cutting edge research on language con-tact and change. The chapters present a wide scope of settings in which Spanish is in contact with other languages, such as Catalan, English, and Quechua; a large breadth of geographi-cal areas (e.g., United States, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina); and varied participant groups, ranging from dialect contacts, second-language learners and heritage speakers to balanced bilinguals and code-switchers. Taken together, the chapters provide rich empirical descriptions of data pertaining to different levels of language, diverse – naturalistic and experi-mental – methodological approaches to data collection, as well as theoretical implications of the findings. The interdisciplinary perspective adopted by the authors contributes to the linguistic analysis and offers important insights into theoretical linguis-tics in general, and into theories of sociolinguistics, language variation, bilingualism, and second language acquisition.

Linguistic Approaches to Portuguese as an Additional LanguageEdited by Karina Veronica Molsing, Cristina Becker Lopes Perna and Ana Maria Tramunt IbañosPontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul

This book includes a selection of theoretical and practical accounts of the acquisition of Portuguese from a broad range of linguistic perspectives. This collection is particularly appealing in the broad academic sphere of language acquisition due to the fact that there has yet to be one entirely dedicated to Portuguese as an Additional Language (PAL). This volume showcases the breadth of research being carried out on topics ranging from the acquisition of aspects from the main language modules (syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics) to applied perspectives involving corpus-based approaches and experimental methodologies. Moreover, we present studies addressing a variety of learning contexts and learner types. The target audi-ence includes researching scholars with a background in second language acquisition studies interested in learning more about the acquisition of Portu-guese as an Additional Language from linguistic perspectives.

New Approaches to Language Attitudes in the Hispanic and Lusophone WorldEdited by Talia Bugel and Cecilia Montes-AlcaláPurdue University Fort Wayne / Georgia Institute of Technology

The analysis of language attitudes is important not only because attitudes can affect language maintenance and language change but also because such reflections and discussions can bring light to social, cultural, political and educational matters that require an interdisciplinary approach. This volume fills a crucial void in the field of Hispanic and Lusophone linguistics by introducing the latest production in the discipline of attitudes toward Span-ish, Spanish sign language, Portuguese, Guarani and Papiamentu around the world, from South America and the Caribbean to the United States, Spain and Japan. The studies presented in this collection – a variety of sociolin-guistic scenarios and methodological approaches – will make an important contribution to theoretical discussions on linguistic attitudes, specifically in the domains of language integration through education, language policy, and language maintenance. This book is intended for sociolinguists, social scientists and scholars in the humanities as well as graduate students enrolled in sociolinguistics courses.

Current Theoretical and Applied Perspectives on Hispanic and Lusophone LinguisticsEdited by Diego Pascual y Cabo and Idoia ElolaUniversity of Florida / Texas Tech University

Current Theoretical and Applied Perspectives on Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics is a 15-chapter compilation written by both established and emerging scholars representing a wide array of theoretical, methodological, and empirical per-spectives. Each chapter presents original and significant findings, contextual-izes them within the broader empirical work, and identifies directions for future research on a variety of subfields of study such as phonetics/phonology studies, formal acquisition theory, second and heritage language acquisition, language variation, and linguistic landscapes. Given its scope and signifi-cance, this volume will be of relevance to not only academics and researchers of all theoretical stripes, but also to a more general audience new to the field of Hispanic and Lusophone linguistics.

Usage-Based Studies in Modern HebrewBackground, Morpho-lexicon, and Syntax

Edited by Ruth A. BermanTel Aviv University

With the assistance of Elitzur Dattner. In cooperation with Eitan Grossman, Bracha Nir and Yael Reshef

The goal of the volume is to shed fresh light on Modern Hebrew from perspectives aimed at readers interested in the domains of general linguistics, typology, and Semitic studies. Starting with chapters that provide background information on the evolution and sociolinguistic setting of the language, the bulk of the book is devoted to usage-based studies of the morphology, lexicon, and syntax of current Hebrew. Based primarily on original analyses of authentic spoken and on-line materials, these studies reflect varied theoretical frames-of-reference that are largely model-neutral in approach. To this end, the book presents a functionally motivated, dynamic approach to actual usage, rather than providing strictly structuralist or formal characterizations of particu-lar linguistic systems. Such a perspective is particularly important in the case of a language undergoing accelerated processes of change, in which the gap between prescriptive dictates of the Hebrew Language Establishment and the actual usage of educated, literate but non-expert speaker-writers of current Hebrew is constantly on the rise.

Chapters of Dependency GrammarA historical survey from Antiquity to Tesnière

Edited by András Imrényi and Nicolas MazziottaEszterházy Károly University, Eger / University of Liège

Was Tesnière the founding father of dependency grammar or merely a culmination point in its long history? Leaving no doubt that the latter position is correct, Chapters of Dependency Grammar tells the story of how dependency-oriented gram-matical description developed from Antiquity up to the early 20th century. From Priscian’s Rome to Dmitrievsky’s Russia, from the French Encyclopaedia to Stephen W. Clark’s school grammars in 19th century America, it is shown how the con-cept of dependencies (asymmetric word-to-word relations) surfaced again and again, assuming a central place in syntax. A particularly intriguing aspect of the storyline is that even without any direct contact or influence, authors were mak-ing key breakthroughs in similar directions. In the works of Sámuel Brassai, a Transylvanian polymath, and Franz Kern, a German grammarian, the first dependency trees appear in 1873 and 1883, respectively, predating Tesnière’s stemmas by several decades.

Information-Structural Perspectives on Discourse ParticlesEdited by Pierre-Yves Modicom and Olivier DuplâtreUniversity of Bordeaux Montaigne / Sorbonne University

The articles collected in this volume offer new perspectives into the relevance of notions such as topic, antitopic, contras-tive topic, focus, verum focus and theticity for the analysis of the syntax and semantics of modal particles, sentence-final particles and other medial, sentential and illocutive particles. This book addresses three great questions in a variety of languages ranging from Japanese to Mohawk, including Basque, French, German, Italian, Kazakh, Spanish and Turkish, with some insights from English and Russian. The first question is the role played by information-structural strategies such as left dislocations, clefts or the morphologi-cal marking of focus in the rise of discourse particles. In the second part, papers are concerned with the relevance of information structure for the study of polysemic and poly-functional discourse particles. Finally, the contribution of particles to the determination of the information-structural profile of the clause is examined, as well as their role in the information-structural specification of illocutionary types. Language-specific papers alternate with comparative ap-proaches in order to show how newer insights on informa-tion structure can help resolve some of the classical issues of the linguistic research on particles.

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 communication in monkeys, apes and humans – and an EvoDevoSocio framework for approaching biological and cultural evolution within a shared perspective. Each chapter provides an authoritative yet accessible review from a different discipline: linguistics (evolutionary, computational and neuro), archeology and neuroarcheology, macaque neurophysiology, comparative neuroanatomy, primate behavior, and develop-mental 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 impli-cations 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. Origi-nally published as 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.

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 (“food porn”) 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.

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.

Body Part Terms in Conceptualization and Language UsageEdited by Iwona Kraska-SzlenkUniversity of Warsaw

The volume focuses on body part terms as the vehicle of embodied cognition and conceptualization. It explores the relationship between universal embodiment, language-specific cultural models and linguistic usage practices. The chapters of the volume add to the previous research in a novel way. The presentation of original data from previ-ously undescribed languages spoken by small communities in Africa and South America allows to discover unknown aspects of embodiment and to propose new interpretations. Well-known languages are analyzed from a new perspective relying on the benefits of linguistic corpora. Contrastive and theoretically oriented studies help to pinpoint similarities and differences among languages, as well as tendencies in conceptualization patterns and semantic development of the lexis of body part terms. The volume contributes to the field of linguistics, but also to cognitive science, anthropology and cultural studies.

Deafness, Gesture and Sign Language in the 18th Century French PhilosophyJosef FulkaAcademy of Sciences, Czech Republic

The book represents a historical overview of the way the top-ic of gesture and sign language has been treated in the 18th century French philosophy. The texts treated are grouped into several categories based on the view they present of deafness and gesture. While some of those texts obviously view deafness and sign language in negative terms, i.e. as deficiency, others present deafness essentially as difference, i.e. as a set of competences that might provide some insights into how spoken language works. One of the arguments of the book is that these two views of deafness and sign lan-guage still represent two dominant paradigms present in the current debates on the issue. The aim of the book, therefore, is not only to provide a historical overview but to trace what might be called a “history of the present”.

Broader Perspectives on Motion Event DescriptionsEdited by Yo Matsumoto and Kazuhiro KawachiNational Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics / National Defense Academy of Japan

Human languages exhibit fascinating commonalities and variations in the ways they describe motion events. In this volume, the contributors present their research results concerning motion event descriptions in the languages that they investigate. The volume features new proposals based on a broad range of data involving different kinds of motion events previously understudied, such as caused motion (e.g., kick a ball across) and even visual motion (e.g., look into a hole). Special attention is also paid to deixis, a hitherto neglected aspect of motion event descriptions. A wide range of languages is examined, including those spoken in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The results provide new insights into the patterns languages deploy to represent motion events. This volume will appeal to anyone interested in language universals and typology, as well as the relationship between language and thought.

Drawing Attention to MetaphorCase studies across time periods, cultures and modalities

Edited by Camilla Di Biase-Dyson and Markus EggGeorg-August-Universität Göttingen / Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

The communicative act of drawing attention to metaphor is a relatively recent topic in metaphor studies and one that has remained contentious from a cognitive perspective. This book brings philologists of ancient languages together with metaphor experts from several modalities to interrogate whether ancient and modern texts and languages draw at-tention to figurative tropes in similar ways. In this way, the diachronic, multimodal and pluridisciplinary contributions to this volume critically review the theoretical frameworks underpinning metaphor marking and metaphor analysis from a completely new empirical basis.

How Metaphors Guide, Teach and Popularize ScienceEdited by Anke Beger and Thomas H. SmithEuropa-Universität Flensburg / Independent Researcher

Metaphors are essential to scientists themselves and strongly influence science communication. Through careful analyses of metaphors actually used in science texts, recordings, and videos, this book explores the essential functions of concep-tual metaphor in the conduct of science, teaching of science, and how scientific ideas are promoted and popularized. With an accessible introduction to theory and method this book prepares scientists, science teachers, and science writers to take advantage of recent shifts in metaphor theories and methods. Metaphor specialists will find theoretical issues explored in studies of bacteriology, cell reproduction, marine biology, physics, brain function and social psychology. We see the degree of conscious or intentional use of metaphor in shaping our conceptual systems and constraining inferences. Metaphor sources include social structure, embodied experi-ence, abstract or mathematical formulations. The results are sometimes innovative hypotheses and robust conclusions; other times pedagogically useful, if inaccurate, stepping stones or, at worst, misleading fictions.

Performing Metaphoric Creativity across Modes and ContextsEdited by Laura Hidalgo-Downing and Blanca Kraljevic MujicUniversidad Autónoma de Madrid

The creative potentiality of metaphor is one of the central themes in research on creativity. The present volume offers a space for the interdisciplinary discussion of the relationship between metaphor and creativity by focusing on (re)contex-tualization across modes and socio-cultural contexts and on the performative dimension of creative discourse practices. The volume brings together insights from Conceptual Meta-phor Theory, (Critical) Discourse approaches to metaphor and Multimodal discourse analysis. Creativity as a process is explored in how it emerges in the flow of experience when talking about or reacting to creative acts such as dance, paint-ing or music, and in subjects’ responses to advertisements in experimental studies. Creativity as product is explored by analyzing the choice, occurrence and patterning of creative metaphors in various types of (multimodal and multisen-sorial) discourses such as political cartoons, satire, films, children’s storybooks, music and songs, videos, scientific discourse, architectural reviews and the performance of clas-sical Indian rasa.

Relevance Theory, Figuration, and Continuity in PragmaticsEdited by Agnieszka PiskorskaUniversity of Warsaw

The chapters in this volume apply the methodology of relevance theory to develop accounts of various pragmatic phenomena which can be associated with the broadly con-ceived notion of style. Some of them are devoted to central cases of figurative language (metaphor, metonymy, puns, irony) while others deal with issues not readily associated with figurativeness (from multimodal communicative stimuli through strong and weak implicatures to discourse functions of connectives, particles and participles). Other chapters shed light on the use of specific communicative styles, ranging from hate speech to humour and humorous irony.

Using the relevance-theoretic toolkit to analyse a spectrum of style-related issues, this volume makes a case for the model of pragmatics founded upon inference and continu-ity, understood as the non-existence of sharply delineated boundaries between classes of communicative phenomena.

“This original and enter-taining series of essays uses the framework of relevance theory to offer striking new insights into the workings of figurative language and style. Why do puns have such a bad reputation? What is the mean-ing of “sunbeds are the new cigarettes”? How does choice of typography affect understand-ing? These and many more questions are illustrated with original examples from every-day conversation and literary texts, and illuminated from a variety of theoretical perspec-tives.”Deirdre Wilson

Sign Language in Papua New GuineaA primary sign language from the Upper Lagaip Valley, Enga Province

Adam KendonCambridge University

This book presents in revised form and as a single mono-graph three papers on a sign language from the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea. Originally published in 1980, for more than twenty years these papers remained the only report of a sign language from that part of the world. The detailed descriptive analyses that the author provided are still fresh today, and in some respects they anticipate insights into the nature of sign languages that were not further explored until much more recently. The monograph is accompanied by two essays: Sherman Wilcox comments on value and relevance of the author’s work in the light of much more recent work on the lin-guistics of sign languages. An essay by Lauren Reed and Alan Rumsey provides an up to date survey of what is now known about sign languages in Papua New Guinea. Information about sign languages in the Solomon Island is also included.

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 (metaphor-ic, ironic, metonymic, 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 figura-tive 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 genera-tion 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 philosophy and artificial intelligence – and across different types of endeavour – theoretical investiga-tion and model building, experimental studies, and applications focussed work (for instance, figurative expression in product design and online support

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 inter-play of production and understanding.

Figurative Meaning Construction in Thought and LanguageEdited by Annalisa BaicchiUniversity of Genoa

This volume brings together twelve usage-based studies conducted by leading researchers in language and cognition that explore core issues of figurative-ness from the Cognitive Linguistics perspective.

The individual chapters reveal the central function of figurative-ness in thought and its impact on language. Cognition relies on knowledge-structuring tools in the construction of meaning both mentally and linguistically. Col-lectively, the chapters delve into an array of topics that are crucial to future research in figurative meaning construction, especially on questions of identification and

structure of figures, the figurative motivation of constructions, the impact of figurativeness on pragmatic and multimodal communica-tion, and the correlation between figures and cognitive models.

Pragmatics, Discourse & DialogueControversies 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 evolution the volume Controversies and Interdisciplinarity offers a series of original insights beyond disciplin-ary fragmentation for a new knowledge model.

Language Policy in BusinessDiscourse, ideology and practice

Elisabeth BarakosAston University

Language Policy in Business: Discourse, ideology and practice provides a critical sociolinguistic and discursive un-derstanding 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 promoting 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 essentialist ideolo-gies about language, identity, nation and territory, to an increased commodification of bilingualism.

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

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 expres-sions 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 various discourse-level needs for specific sequential contexts by creating (semi-)fixed expressions based on frequent patterns. The chapters 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 interac-tion 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 ar-ticles are based on naturally occurring data, mostly everyday conversation, in English, Estonian, Finnish, Japanese, and Mandarin, with some crosslinguistic comparison.

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. Emphasis is placed on the way in which indirect-ness serves the representation 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 indirect 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.

Pragmatics, Discourse & DialogueLanguage Policy in BusinessDiscourse, ideology and practice

Elisabeth BarakosAston University

Language Policy in Business: Discourse, ideology and practice provides a critical sociolinguistic and discursive un-derstanding 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 promoting 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 essentialist ideolo-gies about language, identity, nation and territory, to an increased commodification of bilingualism.

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

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.

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 behaviour 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 Shake-spearean 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 questions: What are the social and political ide-ologies behind rules of etiquette and norms of interaction, and what can we learn from blunders and other transgressions?

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 mecha-nisms through which people bond or feel bonded with one another by analyzing situated discourse in Japanese contexts. The term “bonding” 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 bond-ing (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 advertise-ments. While the book focuses on processes of bonding in Japanese discourse, the concept of bonding can be applied uni-versally in analyzing the co-creation of semiotic, pragmatic, and communal space in situated discourse.

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 expres-sions 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 various discourse-level needs for specific sequential contexts by creating (semi-)fixed expressions based on frequent patterns. The chapters 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 interac-tion 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 ar-ticles are based on naturally occurring data, mostly everyday conversation, in English, Estonian, Finnish, Japanese, and Mandarin, with some crosslinguistic comparison.

LinguisticsPoliteness 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 contexts, however, tend to be characterised by a plethora of behaviours 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 col-lection explore these behaviours in a range of communica-tion 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 under-pinned, definition of politeness and use it to help explain, analyse and inform professional interactions. They demon-strate the importance of understanding how interactions are negotiated and managed in professional settings. The edited collection has something to offer, therefore, to academics, professionals and practitioners alike.

Complimenting Behaviour 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, including 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 have 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 explor-ing and shedding 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, Ren-ren, Twitter, as well as web forums, message boards and live text commentary.

The 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 understand-ing 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 consumption. However, more fundamentally, it also seeks to expand our conception of text and the communicative ‘spaces’ surrounding them, and probe the explanatory potential of the concepts under investiga-tion. Though essentially rooted in historical linguistics and philology, the twelve contributions of this volume also are open to insights from other disciplines (such as medieval manuscript studies and bibliography, 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.

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

Aspirational and expanding, this book examines contemporary 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 fo-cus and stress on the role of language and discourse in social prac-tice, 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 linguistic approaches and methodologies, including functional lin-guistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and various approaches to discourse analysis.

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

The Quest for Argumentative EquivalenceArgumentative patterns in political interpreting contexts

Emanuele BrambillaInternational University of Languages and Media (IULM), Milan

What are the implications of strategic manoeuvring for the activity of the simultaneous interpreter? This is the main question addressed in The Quest for Argumentative Equivalence. Based on the analysis of a multilingual comparable corpus named ARGO, the book investigates political argumenta-tion with an eye to its reformulation by interpreters. After reporting and discussing a series of case studies illustrating interpreters’ problems in the political context, the study reconstructs the prototypical argumentative patterns used by Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy and Hollande not only in a hermeneutical perspective, but also considering interpreters’ need to reproduce them into a foreign language. Situated at the intersection of Argumentation Theory and Interpreting Studies, the book provides a contribution to the descriptive study of political argumentation, highlighting the presence of interpreters as a key contextual variable in political com-munication and deepening the study of the interlinguistic and translational implications of the act of arguing.

(Im)politeness and Moral Order in Online InteractionsEdited by Chaoqun XieFujian Normal University

(Im)politeness and Moral Order in Online Interactions presents a timely response to the ‘moral turn’ in (im)politeness studies. This volume, presented by a roster of prominent figures in the field, documents and showcases the complexity of (im)politeness as social practice by focusing on the morality of (im)politeness in internet-mediated interactions. It includes, among others, studies on how the moral order is made ex-plicit and salient in the production and perception of online impoliteness as social practice and how situated impolite-ness can perform positive social and communicative func-tions. This volume confirms once again that (im)politeness can serve as a lens through which a variety of topics, genres, and contexts are intertwined together pointing to the very presence and existence of human beings, and is bound to be of interest to not only students and scholars engaged in the area of (im)politeness and internet pragmatics, but also to all those with a more general interest in the study of human (inter)actions in various situations and contexts.

“Many im/politeness research-ers have recently turned their attention to the evaluative nature of im/politeness, the source of which is to be found within moral order. This has triggered extensive research interest into the complex relationship between im/po-liteness and morality or moral order. The collection of articles (Im)politeness and Moral Order in Online Interactions brings together excellent analyses of this relationship in a num-ber of online contexts and advances our understanding of this multifaceted relationship. The authors show lucidly how presumably inappropriate be-haviour elicits situated moral judgements. Such judgements may at times even legitimate impoliteness when viewed as a means of restoring societal moral order and can contribute to sociality as it bonds like-minded people. These timely studies are an essential reading for scholars, researchers and advanced students interested in gaining further insights into the intricate link between (im)politeness and moral order.”Maria Sifianou, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Errors and InteractionA cognitive ethnography of emergency medicine

Sarah Bro TrasmundiUniversity of Southern Denmark

Trasmundi combines her background as a cognitive eth-nographer with theory of radical embodied cognition and in-teraction to investigate how healthcare practitioners manage cognitive events in patient treatment and diagnosing that often lead to human errors. This interdisciplinary focus em-phasises how professional action underlines various forms of cognitive and social life that involves language, tools, organ-isational procedures, shared expertise, cultural values and social rules. The book investigates such phenomena which previously have fallen into the gaps between established disciplines of interaction analysis and psychology. In arguing that the multi-scalar constraints of professional action are still underexplored in a naturalistic setting of emergency medicine, Trasmundi uses tools such as multimodal interac-tion analysis and cognitive event analysis to investigate the cultural and distributed nature of cognition. The book pro-vides the reader with a new take on this heavily investigated topic, both theoretically and methodologically by describing how medical culture affects real-time interaction and how culture itself is shaped by the exact same dynamics.

The Language of CrisisMetaphors, frames and discourses

Edited by Mimi Huang and Lise-Lotte HolmgreenNorthumbria University, UK / Aalborg University, Denmark

In times of crisis, how do people conceptualise and com-municate their experiences through different forms and channels? How can original research in cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and crisis studies advance our understand-ing of the ways in which we interact with and communicate about crisis events? In answering these questions, this volume examines the unique functions, features and applica-tions of the metaphors and frames that emerge from and give shape to crisis-related discourses. The chapters in this volume present original concepts, approaches, authentic data and findings of crisis discourses in a wide range of organisational, political and personal contexts that affect a diverse body of language users and communities. This book will appeal to a broad readership in linguistics, sociological studies, cognitive sciences, crisis studies as well as language and communication researchers and practitioners.

Playing with Mental ModelsHumour in the BBC comedy series The Office

Henri de JongsteFH Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts

In this book, the author uses a mental-model theory of com-munication to investigate the acclaimed British situation comedy The Office. The approach taken is multi-disciplinary, and focuses on questions as:

What are mental models and what role do they play in com-munication in general, and in creating and watching The Office in particular?

Whose mental models are involved in creating and watching The Office? How do these mental models relate to each other?

How exactly do the creators of The Office and their audi-ence engage in constructing, exchanging and coordinating mental models?

How do mental models and their comic use relate to humour and humour theories and what is the nature of play in the deployment of mental models in comedy?

The book is aimed at humour scholars from various back-grounds and at people interested in communication in general.

new journal 2021 NEW JOURNAL 2021Interactional Linguistics

Edited by Ilana Mushin and Simona Pekarek DoehlerUniversity of Queensland / University of Neuchâtel

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 symbi-otic 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 lan-guage, be it within a single language or cross-linguistically. The journal publishes qualitative and quantitative research and welcomes empirical as well as theoretical arguments.

Emergent Syntax for ConversationClausal patterns and the organization of action

Edited by Yael Maschler, Simona Pekarek Doehler, Jan Lindström and Leelo KeevallikUniversity of Haifa / University of Neuchâtel / University of Helsinki / Linköping University

This volume explores how emergent patterns of complex syntax – that is, syntactic structures beyond a simple clause – relate to the local contingencies of action formation in social interaction. It examines both the on-line emergence of clause-combining patterns as they are ‘patched together’ on the fly, as well as their routinization and sedimentation into new grammatical patterns across a range of languages – English, Esto-nian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Mandarin, and Swedish.

The chapters investigate how the real-time organization of complex syntax relates to the unfolding of turns and actions, focusing on: (i) how complex syntactic patterns, or routinized fragments of ‘canonical’ patterns, serve as resources for projection, (ii) how complex syntactic pat-terns emerge incrementally, moment-by-moment, out of the real-time trajectories of action, (iii) how formal variants of such patterns relate to social action, and (iv) how all of these play out within the multimodal ecologies of action formation.

The empirical findings presented in this volume lend support to a conception of syntax as fundamentally temporal, emergent, dialogic, sensitive to local interactional contingencies, and interwoven with other semiotic resources.

Mobilizing OthersGrammar and lexis within larger activities

Edited by Carmen Taleghani-Nikazm, Emma Betz and Peter GolatoThe Ohio State University / University of Waterloo / Texas State University

Requesting, recruitment, and other ways of mobilizing others to act have garnered much interest in Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics. This volume takes a holistic perspective on the practices that we use to get others to act either with us, or for us. It argues for a more explicit focus on ‘activity’ in unpacking the linguistic and embodied choices we make in designing mobilizing moves. Drawing on studies from a variety of different languages and settings, the collected studies in this volume illustrate how interac-tants design their turns not only for specific recipients, but also for a specific interactional situation. In doing so, speak-ers are able to mobilize others’ cooperation, contribution, or assistance in the most appropriate and economical ways. By focusing on ‘situation design’ across languages and settings, this volume provides new insights into the ways in which the ongoing activity, with its attendant participation structures, shapes the design, placement, and understanding of moves which mobilize others to act.

LinguisticsSpeaking for the NationIntellectuals and nation-building in the post-Yugoslav space

Federico Giulio SicurellaUniversity of Milan

The book explores the nexus of intellectual activity and nation-building from a critical discourse-analytical perspec-tive. By examining how public intellectuals from Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina commented on key na-tional events in editorials and opinion pieces, it offers unique insights into contemporary nation-building discourses in an enlarging Europe. Through a detailed reconstruction of the debates concerning the selected events, the book also provides fresh empirical evidence of the implications and challenges of post-socialist transition, post-conflict reconciliation, democratisation and European integration in the post-Yugoslav region. Its versatile framework, which in-novatively combines sociological and linguistic approaches to the discursive positioning of intellectuals, may be readily applied to the analysis of intellectual engagement with cur-rent affairs and public life in general.

Discourses on the Edges of LifeEdited by Vicent Salvador, Adéla Kotátková and Ignasi ClementeUniversitat Jaume I / Louis Dundas Centre For Children’s Palliative Care, Institute of Child Health, University College London, Hunter College, City University of New York

Death inhabits our collective imaginary, even though some-times, like a squatter, it hides discretely in order to avoid con-flicts. It is undoubtedly a multi-faceted subject of study, which requires consideration from an interdisciplinary perspective.

This book deals with this phenomenon, and more specifically with the discourses that surround – and construct our perspec-tives and understanding of – death and dying. Of course, the present volume does not attempt to be exhaustive, and consid-ers the subject from several standpoints, including linguistics, anthropology, history of medicine, and importantly, literary studies. It combines various points of view and different meth-odologies of knowledge, in the hope that they come together to constitute a written dialogue –or more precisely, a polylogue.

The ordering of the texts in this volume provides readers with an itinerary that begins with more general approaches, such as a historical presentation of the medicalisation of death and an in-depth reflection on the best way to die, and ends with studies of specific literary works from different periods.

The itinerary that this book provides is framed by a discourse analysis-based overview that explores how different approaches to death and dying intersect and complement each other in an interdisciplinary endeavour. This analysis focuses on literary and non-literary genres in order to shed some new light on a topic that is inexhaustible because of its sociocultural relevance.

Applied LinguisticsTense 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 processes of communication, but commonly perceived and described as a major hurdle for non-native 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 lan-guage acquisition in general?; Are results language-specific or can uni-versal 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)” performance be operationalized for corpus material?; Which implications do the findings from the learner corpora have for the teaching and learning of the target language?

This volume brings together a collection of chapters focused on the learning, testing, and researching of L2 vocabulary by leading international researchers including Paul Nation, Batia Laufer, Frank Boers, Elke Peters, Ana Pellicer-Sánchez, Anna Siyanova-Chanturia, and Stuart Webb. Questions that are examined include: Is it useful to read a book to learn vocabulary? Which types of input encountered outside of the classroom contribute most to vocabulary knowledge? What are the most useful words to learn to understand the academ-ic spoken language in mathematics, biology, and engineer-ing lectures? Does writing words contribute to vocabulary learning? What should a test measuring the skill of guessing from context consist of? Should loan words be included in vocabulary tests? How should we evaluate vocabulary learn-ing that occurs through watching captioned video? How has eye-tracking been used in vocabulary research? Together, the chapters in this volume highlight innovation in vocabulary studies and many directions for researching, testing, and learning words.

Child Bilingualism and Second Language LearningMultidisciplinary perspectives

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

This book focuses exclusively on child bilinguals or children ex-posed 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 bilingual-ism and second language learning. In addition, the book features contributions focused on theoretical overviews and methodological approaches. Researchers from diverse disciplines 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 would be useful for researchers, clinicians, and educators who work with children acquiring or learning a second language in different settings. The book could also be of interest to university students studying bilingualism and/or second language acquisition or parents raising bilingual children.

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 investigat-ing 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 ex-tend the scope of extant research, illustrating different and novel approaches to research on languaging. The findings of these studies provide new insights into the language learning opportunities that languaging can afford language learners in different educa-tional and linguistic contexts but also the factors that may impact on these opportuni-ties. As such the book promises to be of relevance and interest to both researchers and language teachers.

World Englishes on the WebThe Nigerian diaspora in the USA

Mirka HonkanenUniversity of Freiburg

World Englishes on the Web focuses on linguistic practices at the intersection of international migration and social media, examining the language repertoires of Nigerians living in the United States, and their negotiations of identity and authen-ticity 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 combines corpus linguistic methods – relying on a corpus management tool custom-made for web forum data – with ethnographically-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 sociolinguistics of globalization and computer-mediated communication, corpus linguistics, and pidgin and creole languages

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 multilingualism 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 monolingual-ism, 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 differ-ent perspectives and improve the quality of knowledge by offer-ing 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 conceptualization, 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 WebThe Nigerian diaspora in the USA

Mirka HonkanenUniversity of Freiburg

World Englishes on the Web focuses on linguistic practices at the intersection of international migration and social media, examining the language repertoires of Nigerians living in the United States, and their negotiations of identity and authen-ticity 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 combines corpus linguistic methods – relying on a corpus management tool custom-made for web forum data – with ethnographically-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 sociolinguistics of globalization and computer-mediated communication, corpus linguistics, and pidgin and creole languages

“Blind spot no more. While growing numbers of educational contexts world-wide see learn-ers learning and teach-ers teaching curricular content through a second language, and research and development efforts have produced many valuable suggestions for dealing with classroom realities, teacher prepara-tion almost everywhere continues in a vision of monolingual and discipline-specific class-rooms.

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 Lan-guages. While generally listed in international language at-lases, Contested Languages usually fall through the cracks of research: excluded from the literature on minority languages and treated as mere ensembles of geographically defined vari-eties by traditional dialectology. This volume 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 lan-guage 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 consider-ations, exploring potential roads to recognition and issues in language planning that arise from language contestedness.

Writing and Language LearningAdvancing research agendas

Edited by Rosa M. ManchónUniversity of Murcia

The current volume aspires to add to previous research on the connection between writing and language learning from a dual perspective: 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-fac-eted dimensions of the connection between writing and language learning can be explored. The methodological reflections put for-ward in Part III signal to 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).

Studies in Turkish as a Heritage LanguageEdited by Fatih BayramNewcastle University

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 typically becomes dominant in the societal 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 sit 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 methodologies 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 psycholin-guistic, to ethnographic, to classroom-based studies featuring Turkish as a heritage language. To-gether 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.

Lost in TransmissionThe role of attrition and input in heritage language development

Edited by Bernhard Brehmer and Jeanine Treffers-DallerUniversity of Konstanz / University of Reading

Heritage speakers are a fascinating group of bilinguals with a unique profile. Living abroad as immigrants of the second generation, they speak the language of their own speech com-munity (the heritage language) at home, and the societally dominant language in most other domains. What exactly they know about their heritage language continues to fascinate the research community as well as teachers and other practitioners working with this group. The different contributions cover a large variety of studies into heritage languages spoken in Europe and North America (including Chinese, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish). The volume makes a key contri-bution to the description and explanation of variability in the outcomes of heritage language acquisition, taking into account a wide range of factors which impact on language acquisition. As comparisons are frequently made with monolinguals and foreign language learners, the volume is also highly relevant for researchers working in monolingual language acquisition and foreign language learning and teaching.

Language Processing in Advanced Learners of EnglishA multi-method approach to collocation based on corpus linguistic and experimental data

Marco SchilkUniversity of Hildesheim

The production and processing of collocations and formulaic language is a field of growing interest in corpus linguistics and experimental psycholinguis-tics. In the past this fascinating field at the interface of grammar and the lexicon has been mainly studied based on English native speakers, while research focusing on second language speakers and language learners has been comparatively rare. This book proposes an integration of corpus-based and experimental methods by analysing language processing of collocation by advanced learners of English. In using corpus-derived collocational stimuli of native-like and learner-typical language use in an experimental setting, it shows how advanced German L1 learners of English process native-like collocations, L1-based interferences and non-collocating lexical combinations. This book is of interest to anyone interested in the psycho-linguistic validity of collocation from a bilingual point of view, as it explores methods of tracking collocational processing of speakers working with different sets of ‘collocational preferences’.

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 so-cial life often, but not always, co-occur: We talk while eating 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 oper-ate 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. Talk-ing about Food – The Social and the Global in Eating Communities 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.

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 research. It is also necessary to develop an understanding of a range of profes-sionally-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 devel-opment in the context of applied linguistics. 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 trust-ed and thoughtful 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.

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 prepares 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 incorpo-rate thesis, research, and evidence into a process for academic writing by following the AWARE framework (Arranging to write, Writing, Assessing, Revising, and Editing.)

Understanding Deafness, Language and Cognitive DevelopmentEssays in honour of Bencie Woll

Edited by Gary MorganCity University London

The study of childhood deafness offers researchers many interest-ing insights into the role of experience and sensory inputs for the development of language and cognition. This volume provides a state of the art look at these questions and how they are being applied in the areas of clinical and educational settings. It also marks the career and contributions of one of the greatest scholars in the field of deafness: Bencie Woll. As the field of deafness goes through rapid and profound changes, we hope that this volume captures the latest perspectives regarding the impacts of these changes for our understanding of child development. The volume will be of essential interest to language development researchers as well as teachers and clinical researchers.

The Acquisition of Differential Object MarkingEdited by Alexandru Mardale and Silvina MontrulINaLCO, Paris / University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Differential Object marking (DOM), a linguistic phenomenon in which a direct object is morphologically marked for semantic and pragmatic reasons, has attracted the attention of several subfields of linguistics in the past few years. DOM has evolved diachronic-ally in many languages, whereas it has disappeared from others; it is easily acquired by monolingual children, but presents high instability and variability in bilingual acquisition and language contact situations. This edited collection contributes to further our understanding of the nature and development of DOM in the languages of the world, in acquisition, and in language contact, variation, and change. The thirteen chapters in this volume pres-ent new empirical data from Estonian, Spanish, Turkish, Korean, Hindi, Romanian and Basque in different acquisition contexts and learner populations. They also bring together multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives to account for the complexity and dynamicity of this widespread linguistic phenomenon.

Complex Dynamic Systems Theory and L2 Writing DevelopmentEdited by Gary G. Fogal and Marjolijn H. VerspoorSophia University / University of Groningen & University of Pannonia

This volume integrates complex dynamic systems theory (CDST) and L2 writing scholarship through a collection of in-depth studies and com-mentary across a range of writing constructs, learning contexts, and second and foreign languages. The text is arranged thematically across four topics: (i) perspectives on complexity, accuracy, and fluency, (ii) new constructs, approaches, and domains of L2-writing scholarship, (iii) methodological issues, and finally (iv) curricular perspectives. This work should appeal to graduate students and academics interested in expanded discussions on CDST, highlighting its utility for theorizing and researching language change, and to L2 writing scholars curious about how this fresh approach to researching L2 development can inform understandings of how L2 writing develops.

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 repre-sentations at a number of different levels, and (c) learn how to combine these rep-resentations in order to communicate effectively. These new findings have stimu-lated new theoretical perspectives that are more centered on explaining learning as a complex dynamic interaction between the child and her environment. This book is the first attempt to bring some of these new perspectives together in one place. It is a collection of essays 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.

The Acquisition of Differential Object MarkingEdited by Alexandru Mardale and Silvina MontrulINaLCO, Paris / University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Differential Object marking (DOM), a linguistic phenomenon in which a direct object is morphologically marked for semantic and pragmatic reasons, has attracted the attention of several subfields of linguistics in the past few years. DOM has evolved diachronic-ally in many languages, whereas it has disappeared from others; it is easily acquired by monolingual children, but presents high instability and variability in bilingual acquisition and language contact situations. This edited collection contributes to further our understanding of the nature and development of DOM in the languages of the world, in acquisition, and in language contact, variation, and change. The thirteen chapters in this volume pres-ent new empirical data from Estonian, Spanish, Turkish, Korean, Hindi, Romanian and Basque in different acquisition contexts and learner populations. They also bring together multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives to account for the complexity and dynamicity of this widespread linguistic phenomenon.

Cross-theoretical Explorations of Interlocutors and their Individual DifferencesEdited by Laura Gurzynski-WeissIndiana University

This book examines the role of interlocutors and their individual differences (IDs) in second language (L2) development from four theoretical lenses: the cognitive-interactionist approach, sociocultural theory, the variationist approach, and complex dynamic sys-tems theory. A theoretical overview to each approach is written by a preeminent scholar in the framework, and each overview is followed by an empirical study that demonstrates how interlocutor IDs can be fruitfully re-searched within that framework. To maximize readabil-ity and impact, the chapters follow common organizing questions, inviting the engagement of L2 researchers, students, and teachers alike.

Complex Dynamic Systems Theory and L2 Writing DevelopmentEdited by Gary G. Fogal and Marjolijn H. VerspoorSophia University / University of Groningen & University of Pannonia

This volume integrates complex dynamic systems theory (CDST) and L2 writing scholarship through a collection of in-depth studies and com-mentary across a range of writing constructs, learning contexts, and second and foreign languages. The text is arranged thematically across four topics: (i) perspectives on complexity, accuracy, and fluency, (ii) new constructs, approaches, and domains of L2-writing scholarship, (iii) methodological issues, and finally (iv) curricular perspectives. This work should appeal to graduate students and academics interested in expanded discussions on CDST, highlighting its utility for theorizing and researching language change, and to L2 writing scholars curious about how this fresh approach to researching L2 development can inform understandings of how L2 writing develops. As a CDST approach to language change has matured and taken a place among the dominant epistemologies in the field, students and researchers of L2 development alike will benefit from this volume.

A Language Management Approach to Language ProblemsIntegrating macro and micro dimensions

Edited by Goro Christoph Kimura and Lisa FairbrotherSophia University, Tokyo

In recent years there has been increased interest in examining the treat-ment of language problems across different levels of society, ranging from individual interactional issues to language policy and planning at the national or supra-national level. Among the various approaches to tackle this issue, Language Management Theory (LMT) provides a framework to address behaviour towards language problems on differet levels explicitly and comprehensively.

Using LMT as a unifying theoretical concept, the chapters in this volume ex-amine the links between micro and macro dimensions in their analyses of a variety of language problems in Asian and European contexts. This body of work illustrates that the LMT framework is able to show the characteristics of different dimensions clearly, especially when combined with a conceptu-alization of the micro and macro as a continuum of intertwining elements. This volume will appeal both to those interested in language policy and planning as well as those interested in interaction between speakers from different language backgrounds.

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

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.

Developing Narrative ComprehensionMultilingual assessment instrument for narratives

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

Comprehension of texts and understanding of questions is a cornerstone of successful human communication. Whilst reading comprehension has been thoroughly investigated in the last decade, there is surprisingly little research on children’s comprehension of picture stories, particularly for bilinguals. This can be partially explained by the lack of cross-culturally robust, cross-linguistic instruments target-ing early narration. This book presents an inference-based model of narrative comprehension and a tool that grew out of a large-scale European project on multilingualism.

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 / UCLouvain

This volume provides a diachronic and synchronic overview of linguistic vari-ability 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 identi-fying 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.

In Search of Basic Units of Spoken LanguageA corpus-driven approach

Edited by Shlomo Izre’el, Heliana Mello, Alessandro Panunzi and Tommaso RasoTel Aviv University / Federal University of Minas Gerais / University of Florence - LABLITA

What is the best way to analyze spontaneous spoken lan-guage? In their search for the basic units of spoken language the authors of this volume opt for a corpus-driven approach. They share a strong conviction that prosodic structure is es-sential for the study of spoken discourse and each bring their own theoretical and practical experience to the table. In the first part of the book they segment spoken material from a range of different languages (Russian, Hebrew, Central Pomo (an indigenous language from California), French, Japanese, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese). In the second part of the book each author analyzes the same two spoken English samples, but looking at them from different perspectives, using different methods of analysis as reflected in their re-spective analyses in Part I. This approach allows for common tendencies of segmentation to emerge, both prosodic and segmental.

Corpora and the Changing SocietyStudies in the evolution of English

Edited by Paula Rautionaho, Arja Nurmi and Juhani KlemolaUniversity of Eastern Finland / Tampere University

This book showcases eleven studies dealing with corpora and the changing society. The theme of the volume reflects the fact that changes in society lead to changes in language and vice versa. Focusing on the English language, be it from Old English to the present, or a shorter time span in the immediate past, the contributors in this volume use a variety of corpus methods to address the two patterns of change. The cross-fertilization of cultural studies and corpus linguistics, we hope, is beneficial for both parties, as corpus linguistics offers a vast array of materials and methods to investigate cultural and societal change, while cultural studies provide the theoretical background on which to build our research. The studies included in the present vol-ume illustrate the potential avenues and the merits of combining changing language and changing societies.

Advances in Corpus-based Research on Academic WritingEffects of discipline, register, and writer expertise

Edited by Ute Römer, Viviana Cortes and Eric FriginalGeorgia State University

This volume showcases some of the latest research on academic writing by leading and up-and-coming corpus linguists. The studies included in the volume are based on a wide range of corpora spanning first and second language academic writing at different levels of writing expertise, containing texts from a variety of academic dis-ciplines (and sub-disciplines) and of different academic registers. Particularly novel aspects of the collection are the inclusion of research that combines rhetorical moves with multi-dimensional analysis, studies that cover both fixed and variable phraseological items (lexical bundles, phrase-frames, constructions), and work that is based on corpora of English as an academic lingua franca. Going beyond merely summarizing their findings, the authors also discuss what their research means for academic writ-ing practice and pedagogical settings. The volume will be of interest to researchers, students, and teachers who would like to expand their knowledge of how academic writing functions and what it looks like in a variety of contexts.

“This volume encapsulates the breadth of corpus-based research ap-proaches that can be applied to the study of academic writing, ranging from detailed studies of particular words and phrases to studies that compare multiple disciplines with respect to a wider set of linguistic features. Many of the papers are especially innovative in their integration of multiple research approaches, for example applying both rhetorical move analysis and multi-dimensional analysis to describe patterns of register variation across disciplines. For these reasons, the papers in this book will be of high interest to both students and established research-ers interested in the distinctive linguistic characteristics of academic writing.”Douglas Biber, Northern Arizona University

“This expertly edited volume explores some very timely and criti-cal issues in the current state of corpus research in academic writing. Covering topics which unite rhetorical moves with multi-dimensional analyses and frequencies of items and bundles across disciplines and languages, the book will be useful to both students of academic language and researchers keen to employ innovative corpus methods in their work.”Ken Hyland, University of East Anglia

“This rich collection of papers deals with an impressive range of issues in research on academic writing. It includes important work on disciplin-ary variation, phraseology (especially lexical bundles and phrase-frames), and on less-researched genres such as the conference abstract. The volume is innovative in focusing not only on learner and expert writ-ing, but also on written English as a lingua franca and in offering new methodological approaches, most notably combining multi-dimensional analysis with move analysis. This collection is certain to become required reading for all who are involved in researching written academic dis-course, whatever their level of expertise, while the pedagogical applica-tions suggested in each chapter will be of great interest and value to practising teachers.”Maggie Charles, University of Oxford

☞ 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.

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. The book also demonstrates how to visualize linguistic data with the help of attractive informa-tive graphs, including the popular ggplot2 system and Google visualization tools.

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, in-stitutional and geographical backgrounds. However, as relatively 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 aspects of the material, including supralocalization, local patterns of spelling and morphology, land terminology, punctuation, formulaicness and multilingualism.

TEXTBOOK

Historical Linguistics

“This volume encapsulates the breadth of corpus-based research ap-proaches that can be applied to the study of academic writing, ranging from detailed studies of particular words and phrases to studies that compare multiple disciplines with respect to a wider set of linguistic features. Many of the papers are especially innovative in their integration of multiple research approaches, for example applying both rhetorical move analysis and multi-dimensional analysis to describe patterns of register variation across disciplines. For these reasons, the papers in this book will be of high interest to both students and established research-ers interested in the distinctive linguistic characteristics of academic writing.”Douglas Biber, Northern Arizona University

“This expertly edited volume explores some very timely and criti-cal issues in the current state of corpus research in academic writing. Covering topics which unite rhetorical moves with multi-dimensional analyses and frequencies of items and bundles across disciplines and languages, the book will be useful to both students of academic language and researchers keen to employ innovative corpus methods in their work.”Ken Hyland, University of East Anglia

“This rich collection of papers deals with an impressive range of issues in research on academic writing. It includes important work on disciplin-ary variation, phraseology (especially lexical bundles and phrase-frames), and on less-researched genres such as the conference abstract. The volume is innovative in focusing not only on learner and expert writ-ing, but also on written English as a lingua franca and in offering new methodological approaches, most notably combining multi-dimensional analysis with move analysis. This collection is certain to become required reading for all who are involved in researching written academic dis-course, whatever their level of expertise, while the pedagogical applica-tions suggested in each chapter will be of great interest and value to practising teachers.”Maggie Charles, University of Oxford

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).

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.

Historical LinguisticsA cognitive grammar introduction

Margaret E. WintersWayne State University

This textbook serves a dual purpose. It is, first, a compre-hensive introduction to historical linguistics, intended for both undergraduate and graduate students who have taken, at the least, an introductory course in linguistics. Secondly, unlike many such textbooks, this one is based in the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, a semantics-based theory which emphasizes the relation-ship between cognition and language. Descriptions and explanations touch on cognitive, social, and physiological aspects of language as it changes across time. Examples come principally from Germanic (English, German, Yid-dish) and Romance (French and Spanish), but with some exploration of aspects of the history of other languages as well. Each chapter concludes with exercises based on mate-rial in the chapter and also with suggestions for extensions of the content to wider issues in diachronic linguistics.

Historical Linguistics 2017Selected papers from the 23rd International Conference on Historical Linguistics, San Antonio, Texas, 31 July – 4 August 2017

Edited by Bridget DrinkaUniversity of Texas at San Antonio

The collected articles in this volume address an array of cut-ting-edge issues in the field of historical linguistics, including new theoretical approaches and innovative methodologies for studying language through a diachronic lens. The articles focus on the following themes: I. Case & Argument Struc-ture, II. Alignment & Diathesis, III. Patterns, Paradigms, & Restructuring, IV. Grammaticalization & Construction Gram-mar, V. Corpus Linguistics & Morphosyntax, VI. Languages in Contact. Papers reflect a wide range of perspectives, and focus on issues and data from an array of languages and language families, from new analyses of case and argument structure in Ancient Greek to phonological evidence for language contact in Vietnamese, from patterns of convergence in Neo-Aramaic to the development of the ergative in Basque. The volume contributes substantially to the debate surrounding core issues of language change: the role of the individual speaker, the nature of paths of grammaticalization, the role of contact, the interface of diachrony and synchrony, and many other issues. It should be useful to any reader hoping to gain insight into the nature of language change.

Changes in Meaning and FunctionStudies in historical linguistics with a focus on Spanish

Edited by Jorge Fernández Jaén and Herminia Provencio GarrigósUniversity of Alicante / University of Murcia

Diachronic linguistics has been experiencing a strong revival dur-ing the last few decades, since an increasing number of researchers have assumed that evolutionary and historical factors must be considered to properly understand how natural languages work. This book offers new data and insights on some of the research lines which are currently being developed within the framework of diachronic language research. The papers brought together in this volume are characterized both by their originality and by their methodological diversity; the reader will thus find herein theoreti-cal as well as empirical works, undertaken from various perspec-tives of analysis (diachronic cognitive semantics, grammaticaliza-tion theory, discursive traditions, historical phraseology, etc.). The final outcome is an eclectic volume which offers valuable informa-tion for every reader, regardless of whether they are experienced linguists or junior researchers willing to know the latest epistemo-logical advances in this discipline.

Walking on the Grammaticalization Path of the Definite ArticleFunctional Main and Side Roads

Edited by Renata Szczepaniak and Johanna FlickOtto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg / Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf

This volume focuses on the grammaticalization of the defi-nite article in German. It contains eight empirically-based papers which examine individual stages of the grammati-calization path from its beginnings as a demonstrative to the definite article and beyond. Focusing on cognitive, pragmatic, semantic and syntactic factors, the contributions not only address the development from pragmatic to seman-tic definiteness, but also deal with functional and formal changes starting as soon as the linguistic unit has acquired the function of marking semantic definiteness. Based on corpora spanning the entire history of the German language, from Old High German (750-1050) to present-day Ger-man, the analyses challenge the traditional linear model of grammaticalization and provide alternative pathways. What all the contributions have in common is the idea that the main grammaticalization path is accompanied or crossed by several side roads which lead to different destinations such as preposition-article-clitics, generic usages or onymic articles.

Koinai and regional standards in Europe

Edited by Massimo Cerruti and Stavroula TsiplakouUniversity of Turin / Open University of Cyprus

The papers in this volume address the interplay of factors underly-ing the formation of intermediate varieties in the ‘dialect-standard’ landscape of present-day Europe. Research is presented on varieties of several different languages (Norwegian, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek), on speech communities with different (geo)politi-cal and sociolinguistic histories, as well as on previously unex-plored sociolinguistic situations. The contributions all share the twin characteristics of (a) robust scrutiny of structural variation and its links to both structural-systemic parameters and extralinguistic variables and (b) nuanced approaches to macro- and micro- level categories, with the requisite theoretical and methodological fine-tuning. While focusing on different languages/language groups, the papers in this volume share the common foci of bringing together structural and sociolinguistic considerations and of the concomitant necessary revisiting of methodologies. The data and analyses presented yield a firmer and more nuanced understand-ing of the dynamic permutations of cross-dialectal and dialect-to-standard convergence and the formation of intermediate varieties in different yet comparable contexts.

Late Modern EnglishNovel encounters

Edited by Merja Kytö and Erik SmitterbergUppsala University

The past few decades have witnessed an unprecedented surge of interest in the language of the Late Modern English period. Late Modern English: Novel Encounters covers a broad range of topics addressed by international experts in fields such as pho-nology, morphology, syntax, lexis, spelling and pragmatics; this makes the collection attractive to any scholar or student interested in the history of English. Each of the four thematic sections in the book represents a core area of Late Modern English studies. This division makes it easy for specialists to access the chapters that are of immediate relevance to their own work. An introductory chapter establishes connections between chapters within as well as between the four sections. The volume highlights recent advances in research methodol-ogy such as spelling normalization and other areas of corpus linguistics; several contributions also shed light on the inter-play of internal and external factors in language change.

Last Papers in Linguistic HistoriographyE.F.K. Koerner

This volume brings together – in 8 chapters – what has occupied the author during his many years as editor of Histo-riographia Linguistica. Namely, how the history of linguistics 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 stereotypical 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 appears subjects like ‘analogy’ or the relationships between well-known linguists like Sau-ssure, Hermann Paul, and others.

History of Linguistics 2017Selected papers from the 14th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences, (ICHoLS 14), Paris, 28 August – 1 September

Edited by Émilie Aussant and Jean-Michel FortisCNRS & Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot

The present book is a selection of papers from the 14th Inter-national Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (Paris 2017). The volume is divided thematically into three parts: I. Notions and categories, II. Representations and receptions, III. Learning, codification and the linguistic prac-tices of social actors. The first part is especially concerned with data not easily handled by extant traditions of linguis-tic analysis, and with constructs and perspectives which proved difficult to establish in the linguist’s descriptive apparatus. Part II groups six studies dealing with alternative representations of linguistic data, and matters of interpreta-tion and reception regarding the work of three important linguists (Saussure, Jespersen, Chomsky). The scope of part III embraces social and pedagogical practices as well as the involvement of linguists in questions of national identity.

Opera in TranslationUnity and diversity

Edited by Adriana Serban and Kelly Kar Yue ChanPaul Valéry University / 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 cultures – and also between genres and media. The concept of ‘adaptation’ is a thread running through the sixteen con-tributions, 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, multimodality, intertextuality, cultural and linguistic transfer, multilingualism, 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 Gutierrez Sumillera, Jan Surman and Katharina KühnUniversidad de Granada / The Higher School of Economics, HSE Moscow / Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen

This volume explores the intersection between Translation Studies and History and Philosophy of Science to shed light on the work-ings of scientific communities, the dissemination of knowledge across languages and cultures, and the transformation in the pro-cess of that knowledge and of the scientific communities 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 dissemi-nation of knowledge through the work of specific agents (whether individuals or collectives); (B) the implementation of particular lin-guistic 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 implementation of translation policies, as well as the impact thereof.

Literary Translation in PeriodicalsMethodological challenges for a transnational approach

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

While translation history, literary translation, and periodi-cal publications have been extensively analyzed within the fields of Translation 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 collab-orative network of researchers, and a transnational and interdisciplinary approach. The book pursues two goals: (1) to highlight the innovative theoretical and method-ological 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 sociological approaches, this book reviews conceptual and methodological tools and pro-poses 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 Studies EEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE EEEE

In recent years, interest in the application of audiovisual translation (AVT) techniques in language teaching has grown beyond unconnected case studies to create a lively network of methodological intertextuality, cross-references, reviews and continuation 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 describing. 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 con-tributions will arouse the interest of publishers of language learning material and other stakeholders and ultimately lead to the mainstreaming of AVT in language education.

Translation and AffectEssays on sticky affects and translational affective labour

Kaisa KoskinenUniversity of Tampere

In an age of AI and automated translation, the affective remains a decisively human condition. Translation and Affect is a collection of essays that investigate the role of affects and emotions across the spectrum of translatorial activities and areas, from public service interpreting to multilingual poetry recitals, from translator training to translation technology. In an effort at creating a consilient approach that bridges different research traditions in Translation Studies, Koskinen uses affective labour and affects and their sticki-ness as a lens to understand how it feels to translate and how translations feel. Written in a personal and engaging style, the book encourages readers interested in translation issues to look at translation as an affective practice and to explore and reflect their own ways of living with translation.

Lexical Semantics for TerminologyAn introduction

Marie-Claude L’HommeUniversity of Montreal

Lexical Semantics for Terminology: An introduction explores the interconnections between lexical semantics and terminology. More specifically, it shows how principles borrowed from lexico-semantic frameworks and methodologies derived from them can help understand terms and describe them in resources. It also explains how lexical analysis complements perspectives primar-ily focused on knowledge. Topics such as term identification, meaning, polysemy, relations between terms, and equivalence are discussed thoroughly and illustrated with examples taken from various fields of knowledge.

This book is an indispensable companion for those who are interested in words and work with specialized terms, e.g. termi-nologists, translators, lexicographers, corpus linguists. A back-ground in terminology or lexical semantics is not required since

all notions are defined and explained. This book complements other textbooks on terminology that do not focus on lexical semantics per se.

Interpreting in Legal and Healthcare SettingsPerspectives on research and training

Edited by Eva N.S. Ng and Ineke H.M. CrezeeThe University of Hong Kong / Auckland University of Technology

The importance of quality interpreting in legal and health-care settings can never be stressed enough, when any mistake – no matter how small – can compromise the delivery of justice or put someone’s health at risk. This book addresses issues arising from interpreting in legal and healthcare set-tings by presenting cutting-edge research findings in inter-preting and interpreter education in a number of countries around the world – including those which are relatively new to the field. It contains selected papers from a conference dedicated to such themes – the First International Confer-ence on Legal and Healthcare Interpreting – as well as other invited papers related to the fields of legal and healthcare interpreting. This book is useful not only to scholars and educators, interpreters and translators working in legal or healthcare settings, but also to legal and healthcare profes-sionals who work with interpreters in their day-to-day work, including judges, lawyers, police officers, doctors, midwives and nurses.

Translation & TerminologyLinking up with VideoPerspectives on interpreting practice and research

Edited by Heidi Salaets and Geert BrôneKU Leuven

This volume is intended as an innovating reader for both interpreting practitioners as well as scholars, engaging with the multifaceted question addressed in the title “Why linking up with video?”. The chapters in this volume deal with this question from different perspectives. On the one hand, the volume continues the ongoing discussion on the pros and cons of video-based interaction for the interpret-ing profession, exploring the implications and applications when interpreters and their clients link up through video technology. On the other hand, the chapters also explore the potential of video technology for research on interpreting, hence raising the question in which way high-quality video recordings of interpreters in the booth, participants involved in interpreter-mediated talk, etc. may be instrumental in gaining new insights. In this sense, the volume strongly ties in with the fast-growing field of multimodal (interaction) studies, which makes use of video recordings to study the relationship between verbal and nonverbal resources, such as gestures, postural orientation, gaze and head movements, in the construction of meaning in communication.

The Politics of Translating Sound Motifs in African FictionLaurence Jay-Rayon Ibrahim AiboUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst

Starting with the premise that aesthetic choices reveal the ideological stances of translators, the author of this research monograph examines works of fiction by postcolonial Af-rican authors writing in English or French, the genesis and reception of their works, and the translation of each one into French or English. Texts include those by Nuruddin Farah from Somalia, Abdourahman Ali Waberi from Djibouti, Jean-Marie Adiaffi from Côte d’Ivoire, Ayi Kwei Armah from Ghana, Chenjerai Hove from Zimbabwe, and Assia Djebar from Algeria, and their translations by Jacqueline Bardolph, Jeanne Garane, Brigitte Katiyo, Jean-Pierre Richard, Josette and Robert Mane, and Dorothy Blair.

The author highlights the aural poetics of these works, explores the sound motifs underlying their literary power, and shows how each is articulated with the writer’s liter-ary heritage. She then embarks on a close examination of each translator’s background, followed by a rich analysis of their treatments of sound. The translators’ strategies for addressing sound motifs are contextualized in the larger framework of postcolonial literatures and changing reading materialities.

Literary 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 intelligentia 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.

Shakespeare and CrisisOne hundred years of Italian narratives

Edited by Silvia BigliazziUniversity of Verona

Shakespeare and Crisis: One hundred years of Italian narratives explores how Shakespeare intervened in the Italian socio-political and cultural scene between his third and fourth centenaries, at times which were manifestly perceived as ‘critical’. It asks which complex mythopoietic processes contributed to shaping regimes of reading Shakespeare in response to those times of crisis. Crises of national identity during the Great War and the Fascist regime, crises of history in the 1970s, and crises of representation in the second half of the twentieth century extending into the new millennium constitute the three main areas of a discussion that ulti-mately aims at probing into the role of literature at times of crisis. The volume situates itself at the juncture of European Shakespeare studies and studies of Shakespeare and Italy. It addresses essential questions about the position of literature in society, offering at different levels new insights for schol-ars, students, and the general reader.

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 in-vestigating 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 diver-sity of theoretical and methodological approaches within a re-gional 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.

Operationalizing IconicityEdited by Pamela Perniss, Olga Fischer and Christina LjungbergUniversity of Cologne / University of Amsterdam / University of Zurich

The Iconicity in Language and Literature series has long been dedicated to the recognition and understanding of the perva-siveness of iconicity in language in its many forms and func-tions. The present volume, divided into four sections, brings together and unifies different perspectives on iconicity. Chapters in the first section (Iconicity in language) provide linguistic analyses of systems of iconic forms in different lan-guages, across both space (areally) and time (diachronically). The second section (Iconicity in literature) is concerned with stylistic analyses of iconicity in literature, in both poetry and prose and across a range of devices and genres. The third section (Iconicity in visual media) highlights the use and effects of iconicity in pictorial, photographic and cinematic media. The final section (Iconicity in semiotic analysis) offers a theoretical perspective, targeting an operationalisation of iconicity with respect to the relationship between types and subtypes of Peircean signs.

The Hero ReloadedThe reinvention of the classical hero in contemporary mass media

Edited by Rosario López Gregoris and Cristóbal Macías VillalobosUniversidad Autónoma de Madrid / Universidad de Málaga

What was a hero in Classical Antiquity? Why is it that their characteristics have transcended chronological and cultural barriers while they are still role models in our days? How have their features changed to be embodied by comic super-heroes and film? How is their essence vulgarized and turned into a mass consumption product? What has happened with their literary and artistic representation along centuries of elitist Western culture?

This book aims at posing these and other questions about he-roes, allowing us to open a cultural reflection over the role of the classical world in the present, its meaning in mass media, and the capacity of the Greek and Roman civilizations to dia-logue with the modern world. This dialogue offers a glimpse into modern cultural necessities and tendencies which can be seen in several aspects, such as the hero’s vulnerability, the archetype’s banalization, the possibility to extend the heroic essence to individuals in search of identities – vital as well as gender or class identities. In some products (videogames, heavy metal music) our research enables a deeper under-standing of the hero’s more obvious characteristics, such as their physical and moral strength.

All these tendencies – contemporary and consumable, con-tradictory with one another, yet vigorous above all – acquire visibility by means of a polyhedral vehicle which is rich in possibilities of rereading and reworking: the Greco-Roman hero. In such a virtual and postmodern world as the one we inhabit, it comes not without surprise that we still resort to an idea like the hero, which is as old as the West.

Discursive Navigation of Employable Identities in the Narratives of Former RefugeesEmily GreenbankVictoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Incorporating both interview and workplace data, this book examines the discursive and social challenges that former refugees encounter as they navigate successes and failures in the New Zealand labour market. Over five chapters of micro-level discourse analysis – drawing on Bamberg & Georgako-poulou’s (2008) positioning, and interactional sociolinguistic literature – themes emerge of narrative, social and cultural capital (Bourdieu, 1986), linguistic agency, and wider capital-D Discourses (Gee, 1990) surrounding refugeehood. Of par-ticular interest in this study is the inclusion of a longitudinal study of former refugees’ trajectories in the labour market, and the combination of both interview and authentic workplace interactional data, providing rich insight into the multiple and ongoing challenges new arrivals face in their negotiation of employability. This book will be of interest to those engaged in research around migration (particularly those focused on forced migration), employment, language and identity, and narrative identity.

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 articu-lated 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.

The Hero ReloadedThe reinvention of the classical hero in contemporary mass media

Edited by Rosario López Gregoris and Cristóbal Macías VillalobosUniversidad Autónoma de Madrid / Universidad de Málaga

What was a hero in Classical Antiquity? Why is it that their characteristics have transcended chronological and cultural barriers while they are still role models in our days? How have their features changed to be embodied by comic super-heroes and film? How is their essence vulgarized and turned into a mass consumption product? What has happened with their literary and artistic representation along centuries of elitist Western culture?

This book aims at posing these and other questions about he-roes, allowing us to open a cultural reflection over the role of the classical world in the present, its meaning in mass media, and the capacity of the Greek and Roman civilizations to dia-logue with the modern world. This dialogue offers a glimpse into modern cultural necessities and tendencies which can be seen in several aspects, such as the hero’s vulnerability, the archetype’s banalization, the possibility to extend the heroic essence to individuals in search of identities – vital as well as gender or class identities. In some products (videogames, heavy metal music) our research enables a deeper under-standing of the hero’s more obvious characteristics, such as their physical and moral strength.

All these tendencies – contemporary and consumable, con-tradictory with one another, yet vigorous above all – acquire visibility by means of a polyhedral vehicle which is rich in possibilities of rereading and reworking: the Greco-Roman hero. In such a virtual and postmodern world as the one we inhabit, it comes not without surprise that we still resort to an idea like the hero, which is as old as the West.
