Relational Adjectives in Romance and English Mismatches at Interfaces Mihaela Marchis Moreno

Ideophones and the Evolution of Language

Heritage Languages and their Speakers

John Haiman | Macalester College, Minnesota

Maria Polinsky | University of Maryland, College Park

This cross-linguistic study explores the role of the ideophone - a single word that conveys an impression of what it describes - in language evolution. It argues that ideophones provide the ‘missing link’ in our knowledge of how communication has evolved from early gestured performance through to spoken language today.

• Provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution of language, utilizing actual data from real languages • Prior stages of evolution are discussed, and readers will be able to relate the genesis of human language to the genesis of communication in other animals • The examination of the transition from ideophones to conventional words enables readers to relate these changes to relatively well-known diachronic processes in language

A pioneering introduction to heritage languages that covers all the main components of grammar and shows easy familiarity with approaches ranging from formal grammar to typology, and from sociolinguistics to psycholinguistics. Written by a leading scholar in the study of heritage languages, it is the foundational book on the subject.

• This book is the go-to text for the study of heritage languages • Combines current work on heritage languages with research in different subfields of linguistics, enabling readers who are familiar with one subfield to gain a broader understanding of others • Avoids complex statistical and experimental details or, where they are necessary, explains them in an accessible way
