Global Perspectives on Youth Language Practices

Global Perspectives on Youth Language Practices

Most journal articles, edited volumes and monographs on youth language practices deal with one specific variety, one geographical setting, or with one specific continent. This volume bridges these different studies, and it approaches youth language from a much broader angle.

Reciprocals and Reflexives

Reciprocals and Reflexives

This collection of original papers is a representative survey of recent theoretical and cross-linguistic work on reciprocity and reflexivity. Its most remarkable feature is its combination of formal approaches, case studies on individual languages and broad typological surveys in one volume, showing that the interaction of formal approaches to grammar and typology may lead to new insights and results for both fields.

Cognitive Approaches to Pedagogical Grammar

Cognitive Approaches to Pedagogical Grammar

In the last 25 years foreign language teaching has been able to increase its efficiency through an orientation towards authentic language materials, pragmatic language functions and interactive learning methods. However, so far foreign language teaching has lacked a sufficiently strong theoretical framework to support the teaching of language in all its aspects.

Fostering Language Teaching Efficiency through Cognitive Linguistics

Fostering Language Teaching Efficiency through Cognitive Linguistics

In contexts of instructed second language acquisition there is a need for teaching methods that are optimally efficient, i.e. teaching interventions that generate a maximal return on learners' and teachers' investment of time and effort. In the past couple of decades, many researchers have argued that insights from Cognitive Linguistics (CL) - when suitably translated for pedagogical purposes - can make a major contribution to fostering such language teaching efficiency.

Manuel des langues créoles à base française

The handbook offers a state-of-the-art overview of French Creole studies, from a both comparative and language-specific perspective. Covering structural and historical features of French-based Creole languages as well as their diaphasic and diastratic variation, this volume can be used as an introduction to French Creole as much as a reference work for experts in the field.

The Celtic Hypothesis

The Celtic Hypothesis

Applying modern language contact theories to the linguistic evidence for Brythonic influence on English reveals problems with standard arguments supporting the Celtic Hypothesis. The hypothesis claims that early English was significantly influenced by the Brythonic language due to imperfect language acquisition and this influence is consistent with modern language contact theories.

Repertoire in Contact

Repertoire in Contact

The use of multiple, closely-related languages in childhood is somewhat of a final frontier for several strands of research: child language, second language acquisition, and creole studies. However, the methodologies common in these fields do not easily import to contexts that are typical of remote communities in Australia.

Benjamin Constant: Œuvres complètes. Œuvres / Discours à la Chambre des députés (1819–1820)

This 12th volume gathers all of Constant’s interventions at the French Chamber of deputies from April 1819 to July 1820, after his success at the complementary election of the Sarthe department in March 1819. In his speeches, Constant offers a powerful defense of his political convictions against the conservative turn imposed by successive governments: the liberal Restauration is living its last moments, suffocated by the Ultras’ comeback.

Special Onymic Grammar in Typological Perspective

Special Onymic Grammar in Typological Perspective

For the first time, proper names are made the topic of a cross-linguistic account of morphosyntactic properties which formally distinguish place names, personal names, and common nouns. It is shown that the behaviour of place names and personal names in morphology and syntax frequently disagrees with the rules established for other word classes independent of the language’s genetic affiliation, grammatical structure, and geographic location.

Intentions in Comedy Discourse presents a systematic pragmatic analysis of stand-up comedy. Drawing on previous literature on humour, socio-cognitive pragmatics, interactional sociolinguistics, storytelling, and media discourse analysis, the author proposes a theoretical perspective on comedy discourse that interrogates the way stand-up performers entextualise culture and society to instantiate situated actions with interactional, textual or social functions.
