Historical LinguisticsA cognitive grammar introduction

Margaret E. WintersWayne State University

This textbook serves a dual purpose. It is, first, a comprehensive introduction to historical lin-guistics, 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 relationship 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, Yiddish) and Romance (French and Spanish), but with some explora-tion of aspects of the history of other languages as well. Each chapter concludes with exercises based on material in the chapter and also with suggestions for extensions of the content to wider issues in diachronic linguistics.

Heritage LanguagesA language contact approach

Suzanne Aalberse, Ad Backus and Pieter MuyskenUniversity of Amsterdam / Tilburg University / Radboud University Nijmegen

Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dom-inant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status. They have received a lot of scholarly attention and provide a link between academic concerns and educational issues. This book takes a language contact perspective: we consider heritage languages from the per-spective of their history, their structural properties, and their interaction with other surrounding languages.

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) devel-opment from four theoretical lenses: the cognitive-inter-actionist approach, sociocultural theory, the variationist approach, and complex dynamic systems theory. A theoreti-cal 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 researched within that framework. To maximize readability and impact, the chapters follow com-mon organizing questions, inviting the engagement of L2 researchers, students, and teachers alike.

Collectively, the chapters in the current volume initiate a cohesive discussion of the theoretical roles of the interlocu-tor within these four popular approaches to SLA; illustrate

how interlocutor IDs influence L2 opportunities and/or development; present innova-tive, original empirical research on interlocutors and their IDs within each approach; and provide theoretical, empirical, and methodological guidance for future research on interlocutors and their IDs.

Language Acquisition

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 commentary across a range of writ-ing 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) cur-ricular perspectives. This work should appeal to graduate students and academics interested in expanded discus-sions 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 writ-ing 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.

Terminology

Lexical Semantics for TerminologyAn introduction

Marie-Claude L’HommeUniversity of Montreal

This introduction is an indispensable compan-ion for those who are interested in words and work with specialized terms. It 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 primarily 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.

Right Peripheral FragmentsRight dislocation and related phenomena in Romance

Javier Fernández-SánchezUniversity of Gdansk

In recent years, a number of authors have maintained that right dislocations (RD) should be treated as bisentential struc-tures, 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 conse-quences of the biclausal analysis remain unexplored in these languages. This monograph intends to fill that gap.

Silently Structured Silent ArgumentYuta SakamotoMeiji University

Theoretical linguistics in the generative tradition has paid much attention to issues related to silence. 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, show-ing, on the basis of novel data from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish, that it is silently structured. The book has consequences for the long-standing debate on how silence should be theoretically analyzed (PF-deletion vs. LF-copying).

The Quest for Argumentative EquivalenceArgumentative patterns in political interpreting contexts

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

Based on the analysis of a multilingual compa-rable corpus called ARGO, this book investi-gates political argumentation with an eye to its reformulation by interpreters, addressing the implications of strategic maneuvering for the activity of the simultaneous interpreter.

Case studies illustrating interpreters’ problems in the political context are followed by recon-structions of the prototypical argumentative patterns used by Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy and Hollande not only in a hermeneutical perspec-tive, but also considering the interpreter’s need to reproduce them into a foreign language.

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

Along with background information on the evolution and sociolinguistic setting of the language, the bulk of this book is devoted to usage-based studies of the morphology, lexicon, and syntax of cur-rent Hebrew. The book presents a func-tionally motivated, dynamic approach to actual usage, rather than providing strictly structuralist or formal character-izations of particular linguistic systems.

English ResultativesA force-recipient account

Seizi IwataKansai University

This book develops a force-recipient ac-count of English resultatives, demon-strating that many apparent puzzles posed by English resultatives are due to the complex interplay between the verb meaning and the constructional mean-ing, or between the verb meaning and the semantics of the result phrase. The ac-count provides an answer to the question of which resultatives are possible and which are not in a coherent way.

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

This volume brings together ten contri-butions on current usage-based research in Diachronic 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 reconfigu-ration of the network or in/decrease in productivity and schematicity. Also dis-cussed are the theoretical status of allos-tructions, homostructions, constructional families and constructional paradigms.

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

This volume offers new perspectives into the relevance of notions such as topic, antitopic, contrastive 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, ad-dressing three great questions. The first is the role played by information-structural strategies in the rise of discourse par-ticles, while the second is concerned with the relevance of information structure for the study of polysemic and polyfunc-tional discourse particles. Finally, the third question examines the contribu-tion of particles to the determination of the information-structural profile of the clause, as well as their role in the information-structural specification of illocutionary types.

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

Phraseological units (also often referred to as phrasemes or multiword expres-sions) are present in most communica-tive situations and in all of the world’s languages. In recent years an increasing number of studies in the interdisciplinary field of Computational Phraseology have been concerned with the computational treatment of multiword expressions, par-ticularly their automatic identification, extraction or translation, and to the role they play in various Natural Language Processing applications.

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

In their search for the basic units of spo-ken language the authors of this volume opt for a corpus-driven approach. They share a strong conviction that prosodic structure is essential for the study of spo-ken 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. In the second part each author analyzes the same two spoken English samples, while looking at them from different perspectives. This approach allows for common tendencies of segmentation to emerge, both prosodic and segmental.

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

The studies included in the volume are based on a wide range of corpora span-ning first and second language academic writing at different levels of writing expertise, and containing texts from a variety of academic disciplines (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 phraseolog-ical items (lexical bundles, phrase-frames, constructions), and work that is based on corpora of English as an academic lingua franca.

Corpora and the Changing SocietyStudies in the evolution of English

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

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.

Linguistic typology compares linguistic features across languages.

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 reciproc-ity – in synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspectives. It challenges the assumption that so-called reciprocal con-structions encode symmetric relations. Instead, they are analyzed as construc-tions encoding unspecified relations. In effect, it provides a new proposal for the truth-conditional semantics of these constructions.

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 ‘Noun Phrase’ (‘NP’) is often assumed to be universal, and appears to be robust cross-linguistically (compared to ‘VP’ or even ‘clause’). Surprisingly, however, the empirical basis for ‘NP’ has never been established. The chapters in this volume examine the NP in ordinary interactions from diverse languages, in a variety of interactional settings. They show that cross-linguistically, the category NP is not as robust as has been assumed: it is realized only in temporally unfolding human interaction, its structural status thus constantly being negotiated in terms of participants’ social agendas.

Three studies from the Romance family of languages with implications for the wider field of linguistics.

Hispanic LinguisticsCurrent issues and new directions

Edited by Alfonso Morales-Front, Michael J. Ferreira, Ronald P. Leow and Cristina SanzGeorgetown University

This selection of papers originally presented at the 20th Hispanic Linguis-tics Symposium hosted at Georgetown University in 2016, addresses a wide range of phenomena including intonation, restructuring, clitic climbing, aspec-tual structure, subject focus marking, code-switching, lenition, loanwords, and heritage learning that are central in His-panic linguistics today. From a variety of recent theoretical approaches and innova-tive methodologies, these papers make important contributions to our current understanding of language acquisition, theoretical and descriptive linguistics, and language contact.

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

Bringing together contributions from some of the leading experts in the field of Spanish as a Heritage Language, this volume aims to provide an in-depth understanding of current and emerging trends in research and praxis. To this end, the volume is divided into three thematic units. The first unit surveys the study of Spanish heritage speaker bilingual-ism from a formal/theoretical linguistic point of view. The second unit focuses on issues shaping the current state of affairs in heritage language education. Finally, the third unit maps out future lines of development within heritage language instruction.

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

Edited by Irene Vogel

This volume continues the decades long tradition of the Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages of embracing cutting-edge developments in the field.The chapters represent the theme of “bridges” – bridging research approaches and directions across languages, meth-odologies and disciplines. Alongside descriptive and theoretical studies, experimental studies address issues in syntax, phonetics-phonology and sociolinguistics. Alongside investigations of linguistic phenomena in standard Romance language varieties, other investigations address less well-known varieties. Romance languages in contact are reflected in this volume as well.

Cognitive Linguistics examines language in accord with what is known about the mind and brain from other disciplines.

Follow the SignsArchetypes of consciousness embodied in the signs of language

Rodney B. Sangster

This book presents a comprehensive theory that takes the cognitive view of language in a promising new direction, based upon how linguistic signs relate to one another at different levels of consciousness. At the rational level, where signs are necessarily experi-enced 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 applications. 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 Language of CrisisMetaphors, frames and discourses

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

How can original research in cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and crisis studies advance our understanding of the ways in which we interact with and communicate about crisis events? This volume examines the unique functions, features and applications of the meta-phors and frames that emerge from and give shape to crisis-related discourses. Chapters present original concepts, approaches, authentic data and findings of crisis discourses in a wide range of organizational, political and personal contexts that affect a diverse body of language users and communities.

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

This book brings philologists of ancient languages together with metaphor ex-perts from several modalities to question whether ancient and modern texts and languages draw attention to figurative tropes in similar ways. In this way, the diachronic, multimodal and pluridisci-plinary contributions to this volume criti-cally review the theoretical frameworks underpinning metaphor marking and metaphor analysis from a completely new empirical basis.

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

This volume discusses the relationship between metaphor and creativity by focusing on (re)contextualization across modes and socio-cultural contexts and on the performative dimension of creative discourse practices. Creativity as a process is explored in how it emerges in the flow of experience when talking about or reacting to creative acts, while creativity as product is examined by analyzing the choice, occurrence and patterning of cre-ative metaphors in various types of multi-modal and multisensorial discourses. The volume brings together insights from Conceptual Metaphor Theory, (Critical) Discourse approaches to metaphor and Multimodal discourse analysis.

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 conceived 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 com-municative stimuli through strong and weak implicatures to discourse functions of connectives, particles and participles).

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

Through careful analyses of metaphors actually used in science texts, recordings, and videos, this book explores the essential functions of conceptual metaphor in the conduct of science, the teaching of science, and how scientific ideas are promoted and popularized. With an accessible intro-duction to theory and method the 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.

Discourses on the Edges of LifeEdited by Vicent Salvador, Adéla Kotátková and Ignasi ClementeUniversitat Jaume I / City University of New York

This volume deals with the discourses that surround and construct our perspec-tives and understanding of death and dy-ing. Framed by a discourse analysis-based overview that explores how different approaches to death and dying intersect and complement each other in an inter-disciplinary endeavor, the volume begins with more general approaches, such as a historical presentation of the medicaliza-tion of death and an in-depth reflection on the best way to die, and ends with studies of specific literary works from different periods.

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, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Ital-ian, Mandarin, and Swedish.

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

The collected studies in this volume illustrate how interactants design their turns not only for specific recipients, but also for a specific interactional situation. In doing so, speakers are able to mobilize others’ cooperation, contribution, or as-sistance in the most appropriate and eco-nomical ways. By focusing on ‘situation design’ across languages and settings, the volume provides new insights into the ways in which the ongoing activity, with its attendant participation structures, shapes the design, placement, and under-standing of moves which mobilize others to act.

NEW JOURNAL2021

Interactional LinguisticsEditors: Ilana Mushin and Simona Pekarek DoehlerUniversity of Queensland / University of Neuchâtelinteractional.linguistics@gmail.com

In the past two decades, usage-based approaches to linguistic inquiry have forged an empirically grounded comprehension of language as locally contingent, 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 interac-tion shapes linguistic structures.

Interactional Linguistics aims to advance our understanding of this symbiotic relationship between language and social interac-tion, 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 demon-strates how close scrutiny of linguistic structures as they occur in social interaction can deepen our appreciation of the functional and formal aspects of language, be it within a single language or cross-linguistically. The journal publishes qualitative and quantitative research and welcomes empirical as well as theoretical arguments.

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 grammatical-ization of the definite article in German. It contains eight empirically-based papers which examine individual stages of the grammaticalization 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 prag-matic to semantic definiteness, but also deal with functional and formal changes starting as soon as the linguistic unit has acquired the function of marking seman-tic definiteness.

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

The book represents an historical overview of the way the topic of gesture and sign language has been treated in 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 -- still the two views present in current debates on the issue.

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 monograph three papers on a sign language from the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea. Originally published in 1980, these papers remained for more than twenty years the only report of a sign language from that part of the world. Two essays are included: Sher-man Wilcox comments on the value and relevance of the work in the light of much more recent work on the linguistics 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.

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 communication to investigate the acclaimed British situation comedy The Office. The approach taken is multi-disciplinary, and focuses on questions as what roles the mental models have in both creating and watching the show, and how the mental models are constructed, exchanged and coordinated. Further, what is the nature of play in all this.

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

This volume fills a crucial void in the field of Hispanic and Lusophone linguistics by introducing the latest findings within the discipline about at-titudes toward Spanish, Span-ish 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 ths collection – a variety of soci-olinguistic scenarios and meth-odological approaches – make an important contribution to theoretical discussions on linguistic attitudes, specifically in the domains of language integration through education, language policy, and language maintenance.

A Language Management Approach to Language ProblemsIntegrating macro and micro dimensions

Edited by Goro Christoph Kimura and Lisa FairbrotherSophia University

Language Management Theory (LMT) can be used to examine the treatment of language problems across different levels of society, ranging from individual interac-tional issues to language policy and planning at the national or supra-national level, providing a framework to address behavior towards language problems on dif-ferent levels explicitly and compre-hensively. Using LMT as a unifying theoretical concept, this volume examines the links between micro and macro dimensions through the analysis of a variety of language problems, illustrating that the LMT framework is able to show the con-nection between these dimensions clearly, especially when combined with a conceptualization of the micro and macro dimensions as a continuum of intertwining elements.

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

This volume focuses on body part terms as the vehicle of embodied cognition and conceptualization. It explores the relationship between universal embodi-ment, language-specific cultural models and linguistic usage practices. Data from previously undescribed languages bring to light unknown aspects of embodi-ment and suggests new interpretations. Well-known languages are analyzed with the benefits of the use 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.

Linking up with VideoPerspectives on interpreting practice and research

Edited by Heidi Salaets and Geert BrôneKU Leuven

This volume of selected readings contin-ues the ongoing discussion on the pros and cons of video-based interaction for the interpreting profession, exploring the implications and applications when interpreters and their clients link up through video technology. Further the chapters also explore the potential of video technology for research on inter-preting, 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. The volume strongly ties in with the fast-growing field of multimodal (interaction) studies.

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

Starting from the premise that aesthetic choices reveal the ideological stances of translators, this research monograph examines works of fiction by postcolo-nial African authors writing in English or French, the genesis and reception of their works, and the translation of each one into French or English. It highlights the aural poetics of the works chosen and then closely examines each translator’s background, followed by an analysis of their treatments of sound. The transla-tors’ strategies for addressing sound motifs are contextualized in the larger framework of postcolonial literatures and changing reading materialities.

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 situation 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.

Chapters of Dependency GrammarA historical survey from Antiquity to Tesnière

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

Chapters of Dependency Grammar tells the story of how dependency-oriented grammati-cal 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 concept of dependen-cies (asymmetric word-to-word relations) surfaced again and again, assuming a central place in syntax.

Studies in the use of two languages either by a speaker or by a community.

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 hear-ing; there is, however, no widely accepted consensus on the degree of lexical and morphosyntactic 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 his-torical 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 parti-cles, and exhibits unbounded clause-final negation. This study is a first attempt at mapping the psycholinguistic boundaries between Spanish and Palenquero from the speakers’ own perspective.

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

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

Heritage speakers live abroad as im-migrants of the second generation; they speak the language of their own speech community (the heritage language) at home, and the societally dominant lan-guage in most other domains. Contribu-tions in this work cover a large variety of studies into heritage languages spoken in Europe and North America (including Chinese, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish), making a key contribution to the description and explanation of variability in the outcomes of heritage language acquisition.

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

Marco SchilkUniversity of Hildesheim

This book proposes an integration of corpus-based and experimental methods by analyzing language processing of col-location by advanced learners of English. In using corpus-derived collocational stimuli of native-like and learner-typical language use in an experimental set-ting, it shows how advanced German L1 learners of English process native-like collocations, L1-based interferences and non-collocating lexical combinations.

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

This volume, divided into four sections, brings together and unifies different perspectives on iconicity. Chapters in the first section provide linguistic analyses of systems of iconic forms in different languages, across both space (areally) and time (diachronically). The second section 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 highlights the use and effects of iconicity in pictorial, photographic and cinematic media. The final section offers a theoretical perspective, targeting an operationalization 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 to allow them still to be role models in our days? How have their features changed to be embodied by comic superheroes 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 opens a cultural reflection on the role of the classical world in the present, its meaning in mass media, and the capacity of the Greek and Roman civilizations to dialogue with the modern world.
