A better approach is possible.

Redemption SongsCourtroom Stories of Slavery Lea Vandervelde, University of Iowa

• By the author of the acclaimed Mrs. Dred Scott (Oxford), Redemption Songs opens a window onto the world of slavery just before its fall

While hundreds of books have been written about slavery, in the main they tend to be either microhistories of individual slaves and slave families or broad social histories of the peculiar institution. Redemption Songs uniquely features both approaches. VanderVelde not only knits together the stories of a dozen distinct individuals with one thing in common-their status as litigants-and little else, she also provides a rich and eye-opening account of the legal foundations of the larger system.

Jodocus Badius AscensiusCommentary, Commerce and Print in the Renaissance Paul White, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge

• Offers a readable and clear account of the recent secondary criticism on Badius and Renaissance education and print culture

• Includes original research on early printed books

• Contains English translations of all Latin quotations

Jodocus Badius Ascensius (1462-1535) was a scholar and printer who played a central role in the flourishing of humanism and print culture in the French Renaissance. In a career spanning four decades, he was involved with the print publication of something approaching one thousand editions. He was known for the ‘familiar’ commentaries he wrote and published as introductions to the major authors of Latin (and, less frequently, Greek) antiquity, as well as on texts by medieval and contemporary authors.

His commentaries and prefaces document the early stages of French humanism, and his texts played a major role in forming the minds of future generations.

This book provides an account of Badius’s contributions to pedagogy, scholarship, printing and humanist culture. Its main focus is on Latin language commentaries on classical texts. It examines Badius’s multiple roles in the light of changing conceptions of textual culture during the Renaissance. It also explores the wider context of the communities with which Badius cultivated relationships: scholars and printers, figures from religious orders, the university and officialdom. Readership: Scholars and students of Renaissance history and culture, the history of the book, Classical studies, and classical reception.

Replacing Truth Kevin Scharp, Ohio State University

• An original theory on a key philosophical concept

• Addresses one of the most vexed problems in all of western philosophy

• Offers a broad and deep survey of the current literature

Kevin Scharp proposes an original account of the nature and logic of truth, on which truth is an inconsistent concept that should be replaced for certain theoretical purposes. He argues that truth is best understood as an inconsistent concept; develops an axiomatic theory of truth; and offers a new kind of possible-worlds semantics for this theory. Readership: Scholars and advanced students in philosophy of language, philosophical logic, and neighbouring areas

Structuring Sense: Volume III: Taking Form Hagit Borer, Queen Mary, University of London

Hagit Borer develops a new model of word formation, arguing that on the one hand the basic building blocks of language are rigid semantic and syntactic functions, while on the other hand they are roots, which in themselves are but packets of phonological information, and are devoid of both meaning and grammatical properties of any kind. Readership: Linguists, especially syntacticians and morphologists, as well as Philosophers, from graduate level upwards.

Pseudogapping and Ellipsis Kirsten Gengel, University of Stuttgart

• Includes new empirical data

Kirsten Gengel investigates pseudogapping, which, she proposes, is one variety of ellipsis in natural language. At the heart of her discussion lies the interaction between focus and deletion. Her novel approach, which draws on new empirical data from many languages, has the potential of unifying several elliptical phenomena in generative grammar. Readership: Students and scholars of linguistics, especially syntacticians, semanticists, and typolo-gists.

Nature and Origin of LanguageDenis Bouchard, University of Québec

• Links the evolution of the brain to the origins and nature of language

• Written in non-technical language for the wide readership interested in the subject

Denis Bouchard looks at how the human brain got the capacity for language and how language evolved.

Readership: Linguists of all persuasions and their advanced students as well as cognitive scientists, human biolo-gists, primatologists and others interested in the evolution of language.

From Whorf to MontagueExplorations in the Theory of Language Pieter A. M. Seuren, Max-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen

• Connects the world, language, and the mind - a key issue in linguistics and philosophy

• Explores the relation between grammar, logic, and cognition

• Clearly and forcefully written

• By one of the world’s most prominent linguists

This book explores the relations between language, the world, and the mind. Pieter Seuren argues that language requires a theory with abstract principles and that grammars are neither autonomous nor independent of meaning but mediate between propositionally structured thoughts and systems, such as speech, for the production of utterances. Readership: Linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists interested in theoretical linguistics, the relations beteen language and culture and language and logic, and the history of linguistics.

Lexical RelatednessAndrew Spencer, University of Essex

• Shows that current approaches to morphology are flawed

• Proposes a radically new approach to morphology and its analysis

• Draws on examples from a wide range of languages

• Written by one of the world’s most prominent linguists

Current approaches to morphology, Andrew Spencer argues, are flawed. He uses intermediate types of lexical relatedness in different languages to develop a morphologically-informed model of the lexical entry. He uses this to build a model of lexical relatedness consistent with paradigm-based models. A book for all morphologists and lexicographers. Readership: Morphologists, linguistic theorists, and lexicographers, and their advanced students.
