The winner of this year’sannual competition is Lisa Haase. The design was chosen following an internal selection process aswell as a vote held at De Gruyter's Facebook page. Lisa Haase describes her conceptual approach asfollows: “My goal was to visually capture the curiosity and fascination that drive us to want to under-stand our world and to conduct research, for this is the wellspring of science and learning.”

dear readers,

Arguably the most important challenge facing linguistics today is the documenta-tion of endangered and poorly described languages. With series like the Mouton Grammar Library and Trends in Linguistics: Documentation, Mouton has long been at the forefront of such efforts. In 2012–2013 we will see the publication of an unusually large number of books on such languages, including grammars of Wandala (spoken in Cameroon and Nigeria), Mian (Papua New Guinea), Mani (Sierra Leone and Guinea), Saramaccan (Suriname and French Guiana), Bardi (northwestern Australia), Yupik (Alaska), Domari (Middle East), Neverver (Vanuatu), Garrwa (northern Australia), and Savo-Savo (Solomon Islands), as well as a book reconstructing the prehistory of the Utian languages (California).

Mouton has recently added several new books series and journals to its already extensive portfolio. These include the series Pacific Linguistics and Studies in Language Change, previously published by the Australian National University; the new monograph series Developments in English as a Lingua Franca and Sign Languages and Deaf Communities; a major new handbook series, the Handbooks of Communication Science; and no fewer than six new journals, covering topics that range from Pragmatics to Chinese as a Second Language.

Last but not least, autumn 2012 will mark the culmination of a large international research project with the publication of the Mouton World Atlas of Variation in English. Maps in this important new language resource will be accompanied by detailed text chapters analyzing the manifestation of over 200 linguistic features in 74 varieties of English around the world.

We trust you will enjoy looking through our catalog as much as we have enjoyed preparing it. Happy browsing!

body – lAnguAge – communicAtionAn International Handbook on Multimodality in Human Interaction

Questions of multimodal communication, language and embodiment have become pertinent in a wide range of research areas: cognitive science, psychol-ogy, linguistics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, and art. What is lacking is an overview of this fast growing but highly diverse field. This reference work provides an encompass-ing documentation of how body movements relate to language and communication. Chapters authored by leading scholars outline the scope of the phe-nomenon, present current and past approaches, and provide multidisciplinary methods of analysis.

englisH HistoricAl linguisticsAn International Handbook

The handbook English Historical Linguistics offers in more than 130 articles in two volumes a compre-hensive, interdisciplinary and theory neutral over-view of all central aspects of the history of English. The first volume contains detailed descriptions of the individual linguistic levels, from phonology to syntax, semantics and pragmatics, for each period of the language, from Old English to Late Modern English. Moreover, the volume offers chapters on particular topics pertaining to individual periods such as the ‘Great Vowel Shift’, standardization, and do-periphrasis. The second volume takes on a broader perspective and addresses more theoreti-cal concerns. It covers topics such as resources for studying and teaching the history of English, historiography, the history of the discipline itself, theoretical approaches to studying language variation and change, including recent research trends, and the history of Englishes in the twentieth century and around the world.

tHe semitic lAnguAgesAn International Handbook

In collab. with Geoffrey Khan, Michael P. Streck, Janet C. E. Watson

The handbook The Semitic Languages offers a comprehensive reference tool for Semitic Linguistics in its broad sense. It is not restricted to comparative Grammar, although it covers also comparative aspects, including classification. By comprising a chapter on typology and sections with sociolinguistic focus and language contact, the con-ception of the book aims at a rather complete, unbi-ased description of the state of the art in Semitics. Articles on individual languages and dialects give basic facts as location, numbers of speakers, scripts, numbers of extant texts and their nature, attesta-tion where appropriate, and salient features of the grammar and lexicon of the respective variety. The handbook is the most comprehensive treatment of the Semitic language family since many decades.

sign lAnguAgeAn International Handbook

Sign language linguists show here that all questions relevant to the linguistic investigation of spoken languages can be asked about sign languages. Conversely, questions that sign language linguists consider - even if spoken language researchers have not asked them yet - should also be asked of spoken languages. The HSK handbook Sign Language aims to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the state of the art in sign language linguistics. It includes 44 chapters, written by leading researchers in the field, that address issues in language typology, sign language grammar, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguis-tics, and language documentation and transcription. Crucially, all topics are presented in a way that makes them accessible to linguists who are not familiar with sign language linguistics.

linguistic supertypesA Cognitive-Semiotic Theory of Human Communication

By integrating ideas of Peirce, Bühler, Bakhtin, Piaget and Jakobson, in this book the author defines three linguistic supertypes each operating with ei-ther the situation in reality, the speaker‘s experience of it or his condensed information to the hearer. The theory is built step by step on the basis of a detailed examination of individual languages and their relationship to perception and cognition, their representation of situations and their use in oral and written discourse. The theory offers a completely new understanding of language and its role in perception, cognition and communication.

big events, smAll clAusesThe Grammar of Elaboration

Non-finite clause-like structures such as converb and participial constructions, depictive adjectivals, absolute and comitative small clauses are important means of enriching the description of the event or situation conjured up by the main verb; but they have not been studied in depth from that perspec-tive. The present book takes up that challenge. It throws new light on the interface between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and presents new em-pirical findings based on parallel corpora involving English, German, Norwegian, French, Russian, Latin, and Ancient Greek.

locAl modelling of non-locAl dependencies in syntAxSyntactic dependencies like movement, reflexiviza-tion, agreement, control, deletion, case assignment and binding can be non-local, crossing a clause boundary. A strategy pursued in many contempo-rary theories is to model cases of non-local depen-dencies in a local way, by successively passing on information in small syntactic domains. The present volume brings together eighteen articles that inves-tigate the phenomenon from different theoretical backgrounds, based on evidence from a variety of typologically distinct languages.

quAntitAtive syntAx AnAlysisThis is the first book to bring together the fields of theoretical and empirical studies in syntax on the one hand and the methodology of quantitative linguistics on the other hand. An introduction into the aims and methods of the quantitative approach to linguistics in general and to syntax in particular prepares the reader for the following chapters, which inform about measurement and data acquisi-tion methods and the most common mathematical models for the analysis of syntactic and syntag-matic material. Various examples illustrate how these models are applied and show the correspond-ing results.

tHe syntAx of topic, focus, And contrAstAn Interface-based Approach

This book addresses how core notions of infor-mation structure (topic, focus and contrast) are expressed in syntax. The authors propose that the syntactic effects of information structure come about as a result of mapping rules flexible enough to allow topics and foci to be expressed in a variety of positions, but strict enough to capture certain cross-linguistic generalisations about their distribu-tion. Syntactic and semantic evidence from a range of languages are discussed.

grAmmAticAl replicAtion And borrowAbility in lAnguAge contActThe volume presents new insights into two basic theoretical issues hotly debated in recent work on grammaticalization and language contact: gram-matical replication and grammatical borrowability. The key issues are: How can grammatical replica-tion be distinguished from other, superficially simi-lar processes of contact-induced linguistic change, and under what conditions does it take place? Are there grammatical morphemes or constructions that are more easily borrowed than others, and how can language contact account for areal biases in the borrowing (vs. calquing) of grammatical formatives? The book is a major contribution to the ongoing theoretical discussion concerning the rela-tionship between grammaticalization and language contact on a broad empirical basis.

positions And interpretAtionsGerman Adverbial Adjectives at the Syntax-Semantics Interface

The structural and semantic properties of adverbials represent a still poorly understood area of sentential syntax and semantics in Germanic languages. The volume gives a detailed overview of the system of adverbial adjectives in German, linking the differ-ent types of adverbial usages to different syntactic positions and providing formal derivations for the different usages. The book is of interest not only to anyone working on the linguistics of German but also to all linguists investigating the syntax-semantics interface.

tHe grAmmAticAl-izAtion of ‚give‘ + infinitiveA Comparative Study of Russian, Polish, and Czech

The author analyses the grammaticalization of ‚give‘ with infinitive in causative and modal con-structions in the closely related Slavic languages Russian, Polish and Czech. Drawing on extensive diachronic and synchronic corpus data, the study combines a detailed analysis of the current use of these constructions with a reconstruction of their development. General issues discussed include polarity sensitivity in causatives, types of causee coding, the emergence of non-agreeing diathesis structures in Polish and the role of language contact with German.

combinAtory linguisticsThe book examines to what extent the mediating relation between constituents and their semantics can arise from combinatory knowledge of words. It traces the roots of Combinatory Categorial Gram-mar, and uses the theory to promote a Humean question in linguistics and cognitive science: Why do we see limited constituency and dependency in natural languages, despite their diversity and poten-tial infinity? A potential answer is that constituents and dependencies might have arisen from a single resource: adjacency. The combinatory formulation of adjacency constrains possible grammars.

It also examines the wider perspective of the structural role of vocalic and tonal elements. A particular strength of the book is the broad range of approaches covered: from diachronic phonological analysis and synchronic typology, via instrumental studies of speech production to online processing by the human perceptual system.

pHonology, prosody


Steve Parker (Ed.)

tHe sonority controversyIn linguistics, the notion of sonority is correlated with the relative loudness of speech sounds. Sonor-ity is often claimed to be a governing force in the organization of sounds into syllables. However, there is widespread disagreement about how sonor-ity should be expressed in our theoretical models of speech production and perception. This is the first book focusing entirely on sonority. The list of contributors includes many well-known specialists in the fields of phonology and phonetics. All twelve chapters in the volume present cutting-edge research on the function of sonority in linguistic systems. The controversial nature of the topic is reflected in the diverging opinions about the role of sonority in analyzing the world’s languages.

lAborAtory pHonologyJournal of the Association for Laboratory Phonology

Laboratory phonology represents the scien-tific study of the elements of spoken and signed language, their organization, their grammatical function, and their role in speech communication. Research in laboratory phonology uses labora-tory or experimental methods and is grounded in quantitative analyses of empirical data from diverse languages. The laboratory phonology approach also extends naturally to the parallel investigation of manual signs as the encoding elements of signed languages. Laboratory phonology is at the leading edge of the general shift towards experimental and quantitative approaches to the study of language across the discipline of linguistics. The Laboratory Phonology journal publishes research on phonology from a range of disciplinary perspectives including linguistics, psychology, speech & hearing science, communication science, computer science, electri-cal & computer engineering, and other related fields. The journal publishes select papers from the Laboratory Phonology conferences, and also invites regular submissions.

prAgmAtics


Hans-Jörg Schmid (Ed.)

cognitive prAgmAticsSpeakers tend to compose their utterances in such a way that the message they want to get across is hardly ever fully encoded by the meanings of the words and the grammar they use. Instead speakers rely on hearers adding conceptual and emotive con-tent while interpreting the contextually appropriate meanings and intentions behind utterances. This insight, which is of course particularly relevant in all kinds of indirect, figurative or humorous talk, lies at the heart of the linguistic discipline of prag-matics. If pragmatics is the study of meaning-in-context, then cognitive pragmatics can be broadly defined as encompassing the study of the cognitive principles and processes involved in the construal of meaning-in-context. This volume is the first to systematically survey this terrain from a wide range of perspectives. It collects state-of-the-art contributions by leading experts from the fields of pragmatics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, clinical linguistics and historical linguistics.

The volume covers a wide range of topics within the field of sociopragmatics. This subfield of pragmatics encompasses sociolinguistic studies that focus on how pragmatic and discourse features vary according to macro-sociological variables such as age, gender, class and region (variational pragmat-ics), and discourse/conversation analytical studies investigating variation according to the activity engaged in by the participants and the identities displayed as relevant in interaction. The volume also covers studies in linguistic pragmatics with a more general socio-cultural focus, including global and intercultural communication, politeness, criti-cal discourse analysis and linguistic anthropology. Each article presents the state-of-the-art of the topic at hand, as well as new research.

direct beliefAn Essay on the Semantics, Pragmatics, and Metaphysics of Belief

Jonathan Berg argues for the Theory of Direct Be-lief, which treats having a belief about an individual as an unmediated relation between the believer and the individual the belief is about. After a critical review of alternative positions, Berg uses Grice‘s theory of conversational implicature to provide a detailed pragmatic account of substitution failure in belief ascriptions and goes on to defend this view against objections, including those based on an un-warranted „Inner Speech“ Picture of Thought. The work serves as a case study in pragmatic explana-tion, dealing also with methodological issues about context-sensitivity in language and the relation between semantics and pragmatics.

interculturAl prAgmAtics

Intercultural Pragmatics is a fully peer-reviewed fo-rum for theoretical and applied pragmatics research. The goal of the journal is to promote the develop-ment and understanding of pragmatic theory and intercultural competence by publishing research that focuses on general theoretical issues, more than one language and culture, or varieties of one language. Intercultural Pragmatics encourages ‘intercultural-ity’ both within the discipline and in pragmatic research. It supports interaction and scholarly debate between researchers representing different subfields of pragmatics including the linguistic, cognitive, social, and interlanguage paradigms. In addition to ar-ticles, the journal also publilshes interviews, debates, rebuttals, and research statements from leading theoreticians and researchers. The intercultural per-spective is relevant not only to each line of research within pragmatics but also extends to several other disciplines such as anthropology, theoretical and ap-plied linguistics, psychology, communication, socio-linguistics, second language acquisition, and bi- and multilingualism. Intercultural Pragmatics makes a special effort to cross disciplinary boundaries. It provides a forum for researchers who are looking for new tools and methods to investigate human languages and communication to better understand the role of pragmatic competence in language acqui-sition and the process of communication. lAnguAge English

JournAl of literAry semAnticsAn International ReviewFounded by: Trevor Eaton

The aim of the Journal of Literary Semantics is to concentrate the endeavors of theoretical linguistics upon those texts traditionally classed as „literary“, in the belief that such texts are a central, not a peripheral, concern of linguistics. The Journal of Literary Semantics, founded by Trevor Eaton in 1972 and edited by him for thirty years, has pio-neered and encouraged research into the relations between linguistics and literature. It is widely read by theoretical and applied linguists, narratologists, poeticians, philosophers and psycholinguists. JLS publishes articles on all aspects of literary seman-tics. The ambit is inclusive rather than doctrinaire. The journal publishes articles of a philosophical or theoretical nature that attempt to advance our understanding of the structures, dynamics, and significations of literary texts. This includes articles that relate the study of literature to other disciplines such as psychology, neurophysiology, mathematics, and history, as well as articles dealing with the edu-cational problems inherent in the study of literature. Journal of Literary Semantics is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope.

The global perspective of world-wide researchers, spanning different languages and cultures, provides a wealth of information, placing existing research within a consistent and coherent perspective and opening up new vistas.

creAtivity And tHe Agile mindA Multi-Disciplinary Study of a Multi-Faceted Phenomenon

Creativity is a highly-prized quality in almost any domain of human endeavor, whether one is crafting tangible objects from physical materials, or mental objects from concepts, words, pictures and musical notes. It is a diverse, multi-faceted phenomenon that demands a diverse, multi-disciplinary perspec-tive. By bringing together a wide range of creative producers and consumers, in domains as diverse as cognition, language, music, gesture, image and computation, this volume offers the student of cre-ativity a new and exciting perspective whose many facets form a comprehensive and coherent whole.

sensuous cognitionExplorations into Human Sentience: Imagination, (E)motion and Perception

The main topic discussed throughout the volume is the indissoluble relationship between body, mind and culture. By emphasizing the sensuous quality of human cognition, i.e. what Howes (2003: XVII) calls „the relation of the verbal to other ‚nonverbal‘ (or sensual) registers of communication“, the con-tributions in this book revisit the notion of embodi-ment by paying particular attention to its sensuous dimension without losing sight of its cultural and cognitive components.

incipient productivityA Construction-Based Approach to Linguistic Creativity

How do speakers vary established patterns of language use and adapt them to novel contexts of application? This study presents a usage-based ap-proach to linguistic creativity: combining detailed qualitative with large-scale quantitative analyses of corpus data, it traces the emergence of partial pro-ductivity in clusters of conventional collocations. Synthesising insights from research on language acquisition, variation and change, it is argued that creative extensions of linguistic conventions are intrinsically bound up with aspects of memory and repetition.

Cognitive Linguistics presents a forum for linguis-tic research of all kinds on the interaction between language and cognition. The journal focuses on language as an instrument for organizing, process-ing and conveying information. It is devoted to high-quality research on topics such as: the struc-tural characteristics of natural language categori-zation (such as prototypicality, cognitive models, metaphor, and imagery); the functional principles of linguistic organization (such as iconicity); the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics; the relationship between language and thought, including matters of universality and language specificity; and the experiential background of language-in-use, including the cultural background, the discourse context, and the psychological environment of linguistic performance. Cognitive Linguistics is a peer-reviewed journal of interna-tional scope.

A grAmmAr of sArAmAccAn creoleSaramaccan has been central to various debates regarding the origin and nature of creole languages. Being the most removed of all English-based creoles from European language structure in terms of phonology, morphology and syntax, it has been seen as one of the most extreme instantiations of the creolization process. This is the first full-length description of Saramaccan. The grammar docu-ments, in particular, a valence-sensitive system of indicating movement and direction via serial verb constructions, hitherto overlooked amidst the gen-eralized phenomenon of serialization itself.

Drawing on an extensive corpus of field recordings collected between 2004 and 2008, the analysis reveals a very interesting phonological sys-tem with six prenasalized segments, rich systems of possession, tense/aspect/mood marking, valence change, and verb serialization. The grammar is of interest to specialists in Oceanic and Austronesian linguistics, as well as to general linguists, espe-cially those interested in linguistic typology.

The book is a unique collection of research on sign languages that have emerged in rural communities with a high incidence of, often hereditary, deaf-ness. These „village sign languages“ represent the latest addition to the comparative investigation of languages in the gestural modality. With analyses and primary data from eleven different rural com-munities, the volume represents the first concerted effort by leading experts in both anthropology and linguistics to capture the social dynamics of „deaf villages“. The chapters address pertinent issues in contemporary linguistics, such as cross-modal contact situations, typological diversity across sign languages and the impact of language modality on linguistic structure.

linguistic typology

Linguistic Typology distinguishes itself as a forum for the typological community, catering to its special professional needs. In particular, these concern the empirical dimensions of the typological enterprise and the ensuing demands to coordinate research and keep track of a profusion of data and results. Therefore, Lingustic Typology specifically encourages informed dialogue and the proper recording of past and present achievements.

The series Studies in Language Change presents empiri-cally based research that extends knowledge about historical relations among the world’s languages without restriction to any particular language family or region. While not devoted explicitly to theoretical explanations, the series hopes to contribute to the advancement in understandings of language change as well as adding to the store of well-analyzed historical-comparative data on the world’s languages.

3 Focuses on language change, an area of linguistic research that continues to grow and gain interest from international language scholars.

3 Originally appeared with Paci� c Linguists where it developed a reputation for high quality scholarship in historical linguistics and language change

3 Associated with the Centre for Research on Language Change at the Australian National University, the � rst research centre to focus solely on questions of language change across language families

The present volume deals with a variety of aspects of language change and focuses on the role of scribes. The individual articles, which treat different theoretical and empirical issues, reflect a broad cross-linguistic and cross-cultural diversity. The languages that are represented cover a broad spectrum, and the empirical data come from a wide range of sources. This book provides a wealth of new data and new perspectives on old problems, and it raises new questions about the actual mecha-nisms of language change.

This pioneer volume assembles thirteen etymologi-cal studies covering a broad range of languages, focusing in particular Australian Indigenous languages. Etymology is understood in a broad sense as a type of historical research that aims at investigating the origin of a word (lexical etymol-ogy) or structure (structural etymology). The phe-nomena investigated in the contributions comprise Australian Indigenous place names and kinship terms, constructions and word histories in Oceanic languages, typological investigations and papers on the methodology of etymological research.

This study examines the properties behind the evolution of clauses introduced by preposi-tions in Spanish, including clausal nominality, argumenthood and preposition optionality, devoting particular attention to the nature and constraints of comparable constructions in other past and present European languages. It argues in favor of cross-linguistically valid categories and explanations.

ortHogrApHies in eArly modern europeThis volume provides, for the first time, a pan-European view of the development of written languages at a key time in their history: that of the 16th century. The major cultural and intellectual upheavals that affected Europe at the time - Hu-manism, the Reformation and the emergence of modern nation-states - were not isolated phenome-na, and the evolution of the orthographical systems of European languages shows a large number of convergences, due to the mobility of scholars, ideas and technological innovations throughout the period.

processes And pro-cess-orientAtion in foreign lAnguAge teAcHing And leArningThere can be no products without processes. Though a generalization, this statement encapsu-lates the importance of process-oriented approaches in language teaching and learning. In recent decades, researchers and practitioners alike are in-creasingly focusing their attention on: 1) the learner as the active subject and the internal processes that constitute his/her learning leading to communica-tive competence; 2) teaching approaches that reflect this view of language learning; and 3) factors such as the sociocultural context, social interactions and discourse, and individual learner characteristics and differences. This book examines and reflects these recent paradigm shifts.

Any questions?Identity Construction in Academic Conference Discussions

Academics go to conferences for two main reasons: first, to discuss their research; second, and just as importantly, to negotiate their own standing in the scientific community. This book shows how academics in the humanities use conference discus-sions as a forum to co-construct both their own and each other’s professional identities. While at first sight the researchers seem to be simply asking and answering questions, the detailed sequential analyses reveal many subtle underlying strategies adopted to display and negotiate claims of exper-tise, seniority and competence.

Norris provides an important contribution to the examination of identity in this book on the theoreti-cal and methodological approach called multimodal interaction analysis. The book moves beyond the traditional discourse analysis focus on spoken language to examine the interplay of broader com-municative modes that work together with language use. This longitudinal ethnographic study of two women living in Germany shows how multimodal interaction analysis offers a finer grained holistic analysis of identity construction through context.

The acquisition of Mandarin Chinese, one of the most important and widely spoken languages in the world today, is the focus of this innovative study. It describes the rise of Chinese as a global language and the many challenges and opportunities associ-ated with learning it. The collaborative, multiple-case study and cross-case analysis is presented from three distinct but complementary theoretical and analytic perspectives: linguistic, sociocultural, and narrative. The book reveals fascinating dimen-sions of Chinese language learning based on vivid first-person accounts (with autobiographical narra-tives included in the book) of adults negotiating not only their own and others‘ language and literacy learning, but also their identities, communities, and trajectories as users of Chinese.

This book comprehensively analyzes the develop-ment of interculturally blended third spaces by the second language learner, beginning with the linguistic and sociocultural imprints of the first language and culture on the mind and culminating in a phase-model of the development of intercul-tural competence. The focus of the book is on the gradual development of interculturally blended third spaces in the mind of the learner as genuinely new bases for construction.

It is the affiliated journal of the China English Language Education Association (founded in 1981 and now the Chinese affiliate of AILA [International Associ-ation of Applied Linguistics]). The Chinese Journal of Applied Linguistics is the only English language teaching (ELT) journal in China that is published in English, serving as a window to Chinese reform on ELT for professionals in China and around the world. The journal is internationally focused, fully refereed, and its articles address a wide variety of topics in Chinese applied linguistics which include – but also reach beyond – the topics of language education and second language acquisition. Begin-ning with volume 34 in 2011, the journal is now co-published by De Gruyter Mouton, the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP), and the Cultural and Education Section of the Brit-ish Embassy. De Gruyter Mouton is responsible for the sales and distribution of the journal outside of China.

In addition to resulting from an episte-mological stance, EuJAL is a logical outcome of the regionalization policy of the Association Internatio-nale de Linguistique Appliquée(AILA), supporting the societies‘ commitment to regionalization by focusing on the European language space and by giving applied linguists from this regional context an adequate forum.

reseArcH design And metHodology in studies on l2 tense And AspectIn the last decade, the study of the acquisition of tense and aspect among L2 (second language) learners has become a significant area of research. There is, however, one recurrent issue that has not yet been properly addressed, namely the relation-ship between research methodology and the acqui-sition of L2 tense-aspect. The current volume fills this void and provides new insights into the study of L2 tense-aspect by bringing together renowned scholars with experience in designing and carrying out research in L2 tense-aspect.

lAnguAge Acquisition And tHe functionAl cAtegory systemFiniteness, as a concept of information structure, determines the perspective from which the present investigation has been carried out. The linguistic status of finiteness in learner languages changes as a function of language development. This accounts for the fact that at consecutive stages of acquisition finiteness is expressed differently. Finiteness, as it plays a role at different stages of development, serves thus as the anchoring point from which the dynamics of the process of language development both in L1 and L2 learners can be explained. The present study shows that in this process the auxil-iary verb (heb/heeft) serves a crucial role due to its function as a topicalization device.

This book is the first publication on record that systematically and comprehensively addresses the acquisition and development of Cantonese in early childhood. It draws upon evidence from up-to-date reviews of associated literature, on the outcomes of numerous research studies conducted by the authors and on the outcomes of an in-depth study of the largest corpus of early childhood Cantonese. To supplement and illuminate published trends in the literature, carefully gathered reliable and valid empirical data are critically scrutinized. The evidence is used to clarify and examine theoretical assumptions and to outline putative developmental trends in early childhood Cantonese pragmatics.

tHe Acquisition of germAnIntroducing Organic Grammar

The theory of Organic Grammar is applied to four decades of work on children’s and immigrant L2 learners’ acquisition of German word order and inflectional morphology. New data from a longitu-dinal study of ab initio secondary school students reveals bottom-up acquisition of syntactic structure during their exchange year in Germany. Their natu-ralistic acquisition process, with stages described for the first time in L2 acquisition, is highly similar to that of younger learners. This has important implications for German teaching and for Universal Grammar and acquisition.

Debate regarding the ability of children with autism to acquire verbs is both limited and inconclusive. This book explores this understudied area of language development in autism to answer the question: How do children with autism learn the meaning of verbs? The approach presents a critical survey of qualitative and quantitative research on verb acquisition in autism, assessing the theories of language acquisition in typical development, including available empirical research. This investigation is among the first studies of its type, offering new insights into the process of language acquisition in autism.

Acquisition reversAlThe Effects of Postlingual Deafness in Yoruba

This is the first comprehensive account of pro-longed hearing loss and its impact on a language that was once spoken fluently. The reader is intro-duced to a significant deaf population — Yoruba speakers who have been profoundly deaf for more than twenty years and who have no access to hear-ing aids or speech therapy. These speakers exhibit language loss patterns which mirror acquisition stages in the speech of Yoruba children. This simi-larity argues for a link between language loss and first language acquisition, and shows that prolonged hearing loss results in the reversal of language.

lAnguAge-specific fActors in first lAnguAge AcquisitionThe Expression of Motion Events in French and German

A growing number of studies have begun to exam-ine the influence of language-specific factors on language acquisition. During language acquisition, German children from six years on use structures that are similar to those of adults in their language group and also encode all semantic components from an early age. In striking contrast, French children up to ten years have difficulties producing some of the complex structures that are necessary for the simultaneous expression of several semantic components. Nonetheless, in addition to these strik-ing cross-linguistic differences, the results of this study also clearly show similar developmental pro-gressions in other respects, suggesting the impact of general developmental determinants.

The book proposes a paradigm shift in language planning and language policy in Africa. The new democratic model for language planning has sev-eral assets over the traditional hegemonic language of wider communication (LWC) model: It does not endanger minority languages, nor does it endanger social cohesion in multilingual countries; it is less costly and makes literacy in the mother tongue mar-ketable. The theory that undergirds the democratic model is the Strategic Game Theory.

This book, which emerges in the context of the European research network LINEE (Languages in a Network of European Excellence), is concerned with European multilingualism both as a political concept and as a social reality. It features cutting-edge studies by linguists and anthropologists who perceive multilingualism as a discursive phenom-enon which can be revealed and analyzed through empirical fieldwork. The book presents a fresh perspective of European multilingualism as it takes the reader through key themes of social conscious-ness – identity, policy, education, economy – and relevant societal levels of organization (European, national, regional).

Data is drawn from a wide range of languages and communica-tive contexts, ranging from schoolrooms to internet discussion boards. The focus is on the way that spelling as a practice and as a focus of ideologi-cal debate relates to social, political and cultural systems, both reflecting and sometimes creating identities as well as relationships of both equality and inequality.

Music intrudes to our most intimate subjectivity, thus making it a privileged field to which so-called „existential semiotics“, a new theory and philoso-phy developed by the author himself, may be ap-plied.

The volume reveals the depths of Wittgenstein‘s soul-searching writings – his „new“ philoso-phy – by concentrating on fragments in ordinary language and using few technical terms. It applies Wittgenstein‘s methodological tools to the study of multilingual dialogue in philosophy, linguistics, theology, anthropology and literature. Translation shows how the translator‘s signatures are in conflict with personal or stylistic choices in linguistic form, but also in cultural content. This volume undertakes the „impossible task“ of uncovering the reason-ing of Wittgenstein‘s translated texts in order to construct, rather than paraphrase, the ideal of a terminological coherence.

repertoires And cHoices in AfricAn lAnguAgesAfrica is one of the hotspots of linguistic diversity, and most African languages are spoken by multi-lingual communities. The persistence of multilin-gualism and the linguistic creativity are striking, especially against the backdrop of “language death” and expanding monolingualism elsewhere in the world. This volume deals with multilingualism as a cultural technique, register variation and the mul-tiplicity of language ideologies, and the dynamics of linguistic change in Africa’s minority languages. It argues that that in terms of multilingualism and language survival, Africa can serve as a positive model.

NEW LANDMARK REFERENCE WORK

Bernd Kortmann, Kerstin Lunkenheimer (Eds.)

THE MOUTON WORLD ATLAS OF VARIATION IN ENGLISHThe Mouton World Atlas of Variation in English (WAVE) presents grammatical variation in spontaneous spoken English mapping 235 features in 48 varieties of English (traditional dialects, high-contact mother tongue Englishes, and indiginized second-language Englishes) and 26 English-based Pidgins and Creoles in eight Anglophone world regions (Africa, Asia, Australia, British Isles, the Caribbean, North America, the Paci� c, and the South Atlantic). The analyses of the 74 varieties are based on descriptive materials, naturalistic corpus data, and native speaker knowledge.

3 Unique in its coverage: The number of grammatical features and the number of varieties covered exceeds those treated in any previous publication on the topic

3 An indispensable research tool for specialists in many different � elds of linguistics, including pidgin and creole studies, dialectology, microsyntactic variation, language change, language typology, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, the study of World Englishes, and learner Englishes

3 Offers perspectivizing accounts of the 74 data sets as well as large-scale comparisons across the individual variety types and Anglophone world regions

3 Maps are complemented by extensive text chapters written by the major experts in the respective � elds

As a result of globalization, higher education institutions throughout the world are adopting English for parts of their education. Higher educa-tion is becoming increasingly international and thus linguistically diverse, for educational, idealistic and financial reasons. This book presents a much-need-ed description of English as a lingua franca (ELF) from an international university setting and focuses on form and pragmatic issues, using authentic spoken data. It provides useful insights into how communicative effectiveness can be achieved in spoken lingua franca communication.

tHe englisH it-cleftA Constructional Account and a Diachronic Investigation

The English it-cleft is noted for its non-standard structure and for its unusual pragmatic and discourse-functional properties. This book presents a constructional account of the English it-cleft which is based on evidence from three main areas: (a) the concept of specificational meaning, (b) the existence of predicational (and proverbial) it-clefts, and (c) the early, historical it-cleft data. Featuring a sizeable diachronic component, the book con-tributes to the limited (and largely unchallenged) literature on the history of the English it-cleft.

entrencHment in usAge-bAsed tHeoriesWhat Corpus Data Do and Do Not Reveal About The Mind

This work deals with the relationship between frequency in natural language use and the entrench-ment of complex linguistic strings in the minds of language users. This broad issue can be broken down into two more specific guiding questions: First, is it possible to gain cognitively realistic insights into speakers’ linguistic knowledge from quantitative generalisations over corpus data? Second, and maybe more importantly, what exactly should be understood by entrenchment? In the pres-ent work, these two questions, which are crucial for assessing the status and scope of usage-based theo-ries, will be subject to detailed critical evaluation and empirical investigation using a multi-method research design.

Thanks to technological developments, experimen-tal techniques employed in psycholinguistic studies have also advanced and a large body of new knowl-edge has accumulated. The current volume brings these state-of-art findings together and discusses our brain functions, in particular, the process of Japanese language acquisition and the mechanism of Japanese language perception and production.

South Asia is home to a large number of languages and dialects. Although linguists working on this region have made significant contributions to our understanding of language, society, and language in society on a global scale, there is as yet no recognized international forum for the exchange of ideas amongst linguists working on South Asia. The Annual Review of South Asian Languages and Linguistics is designed to be just that forum. It brings together empirical and theoretical research and serves as a testing ground for the articulation of new ideas and approaches which may be grounded in a study of South Asian languages but which have universal applicability.

pronouns And clitics in eArly lAnguAgeTraditional grammars have stated that clitics are subject or object pronouns whose distribu-tional features make them different from personal pronouns. This book focuses on the acquisition of personal and demonstrative pronouns as well as clitics with respect to determinative phrases in a variety of languages of the Romance family and several indigenous languages, such as Quechua. A particularly original aspect of the present volume is that it not only addresses syntactic issues, but also semantic and pragmatic questions that have been widely neglected in the literature. It also reports on acquisition data of languages, such as Quechua, which have not attracted the attention of research-ers until very recently.

pHAsesDeveloping the Framework

With an introd. by Noam Chomsky

This book contains a series of essays that explore the foundations, developments, and goals of Phase Theory. The antecedents of this framework go back to the notion of “cycle”, which plays a key role in phenomena such as compositionality, locality, and economy conditions. Much recent work within minimalism has been devoted to investigating the nature of phases and their relevance for other areas of linguistic inquiry. This book aims to address these questions and sharpen our understanding about Phase Theory and the nature of the Faculty of Language.

strengtHening tHe pro HypotHesisGenerative theory has long sought to capture the syntax of Control, questioning whether the comple-ment clause contains a syntactically projected thematic subject, whether such an argument under-goes displacement and, if so, where and why, and what role semantics may play. This book continues in this tradition, critically examining paradigms erroneously assumed to favor PRO analyses over Movement and implicit argument accounts. It of-fers novel data amenable to analysis only within a PRO approach – but one radically different from its predecessors in form and interpretation.

order And cHAngeDiachronic Pathways and the Syntax-Morphology Interface

Across time and languages, we can observe that linguistic change is not random, but rather proceeds along recurrent patterns and pathways. Focusing on the history of the Germanic languages, this book explores how directions and tendencies in morphosyntactic change (word order change, the rise and fall of null subjects, and the development of paradigmatic syncretism) can be attributed to the interplay between language acquisition strategies and universal ‘hard wired’ principles of grammar.

The main insight is that diacritics such as hash-marks or prosodic constituents do not qualify in a modular environment. The alternative is that only syllabic space, i.e. CV units, can be carriers of morpho-syntactic information. This idea is worked out in detailed case studies of a number of languages in the framework of CVCV (or strict CV), which makes the book the 2nd volume of A Lateral Theory of Phonology (2004).

As a result of this long tradition and of the influence on the languages spoken today, the study of Latin is of high relevance for modern linguistic research. The Journal of Latin Linguistics (formerly known as Papers on Grammar) is the only journal devoted entirely to Latin in both synchronic and dia-chronic perspective. All linguistic phases of Latin – Archaic, Classical, Vulgar, Medieval, Renais-sance, Modern – are treated. The Journal of Latin Linguistics fills a conspicuous gap in the scientific literature and is arguably the most important jour-nal for Latin linguistics. The editors and members of the advisory board are renown scholars in the field. Rigid peer-reviewing is applied.

probusInternational Journal of Latin and Romance Linguistics

Probus is a platform for the discussion of historical and synchronic research in the field of Latin and Romance linguistics, with special emphasis on phonology, morphology, syntax, language acquisi-tion and sociolinguistics. The journal aims to keep its readers abreast of the developments in Romance linguistics by encouraging problem-oriented contri-butions that combine the solid empirical founda-tions of philological and linguistic work with the insights provided by modern theoretical approach-es. Since its foundation in January 1989, Probus has proven to be a useful medium for the exchange of ideas, explanations, and solutions aiming at a better understanding of the structures of Romance languages. Probus is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal of international scope.
