KEY REFERENCE NEW IN PAPERBACK

The Cambridge History of Early Medieval English Literature Edited by Clare A. Lees King’s College London

nformed by multicultural, multidisciplinary perspectives, The Cambridge History of Early Medieval English Literature offers a new exploration of the earliest writing in Britain and Ireland, from the end of the Roman Empire to the mid-twelfth century. Beginning with an account of writing itself, as well as of scripts and manuscript art, subsequent chapters examine the earliest texts from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and the tremendous breadth of Anglo-Latin literature. Chapters on English learning and literature in the ninth century and the later formation of English poetry and prose also convey the profound cultural confidence of the period. Providing a discussion of essential texts, including Beowulf and the writings of Bede, this History captures the sheer inventiveness and vitality of early medieval literary culture through topics as diverse as the literature of English law, liturgical and devotional writing, the workings of science and the history of women’s writing.

‘This wide-ranging collection of essays surveys British and Irish literature of the early Middle Ages in all its linguistic variety and complexity …

The value of this volume lies not just in its inclusion of the expected viewed in new ways but also in giving space to what is too often left out … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty.’

Language Faculty Science Hajime Hoji University of Southern California

Language Faculty Science explores how the language faculty can be studied as exact science, providing its conceptual basis and experimental demonstration.

It proposes how we can deduce from universal and language-particular hypotheses definite predictions about acceptability judgments by individual speakers and obtain experimental results precisely in accordance with such predictions.

‘Hajime Hoji’s careful study is a welcome contribution to the growing discipline of experimental linguistics.

He provides a very careful analysis of the methodological issues, illustrating successes and pitfalls, and outlining

Linguistic templates have long been of interest to linguists. They have yet to be comprehensively studied at the word and sentential level. This book provides the first general reference and develops cutting-edge computational methods to examine their cross-linguistic variation.

It will be of interest to theoretical, descriptive, and typologically oriented linguists.

‘This book serves as an important gateway into a more productive cross-linguistic understanding of these constructions across a broad range of structural domains. It will quickly become a standard reference for typological investigations of seemingly unrelated templatic phenomena.’

Dependency and Directionality

The Cambridge Handbook of Historical Syntax

Introducing Syntax

Marcel den Dikken

Edited by Adam Ledgeway University of Cambridge

and Ian Roberts University of Cambridge

Change is an inherent feature of all aspects of language, and syntax is no exception. While the synchronic study of syntax allows us to make discoveries about the nature of syntactic structure, the study of historical syntax offers even greater possibilities. Over recent decades, the study of historical syntax has proven to be a powerful scientific tool of enquiry with which to challenge and reassess hypotheses and ideas about the nature of syntactic structure which go beyond the observed limits of the study of the synchronic syntax of individual languages or language families. In this timely Handbook, the editors bring together the best of recent international scholarship on historical syntax. Each chapter is focused on a theme rather than an individual language, allowing readers to discover how systematic descriptions of historical data can profitably inform and challenge highly diverse sets of theoretical assumptions.

Sounds Fascinating Further Observations on English Phonetics and Phonology J. C. Wells University College London

This well-known writer offers an accessible insight into several aspects of phonetics – speech sounds, pronunciation, accents, intonation, and phonetic symbols.

‘A key property of an insightful author is the ability to articulate observations about the world that a reader may have made only passively, and to force her to consider them more deliberately. Wells, long a talented guide to the world of phonetics in this way, lavishes us with more of his colorful contemplations in this new volume.’

Intonation and Prosodic Structure

Macalester College, Minnesota

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.

Advance praise: ‘This is a splendid book – lively and stimulating, presenting the ideophone as a source in language phylogenesis and a new role for play in fostering the distinction between ‘doing’ and ‘showing’ at the origin. Haiman’s style, erudition, and provocative hypothesis invite one into a joyful discussion.’

Caroline Féry Institute of Linguistics

This book provides a state-of-the-art survey of intonation and prosodic structure from a phonological perspective. Exploring topics such as individual tones and how they combine, how information structure affects intonation, and how languages differ in their tonal patterns, it will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in phonology.

‘This book will make a very useful resource for graduate students and researchers in other areas of linguistics wanting to understand how prosody and intonation work on a theoretical and practical level.

It is becoming increasingly clear that prosody and intonation interact with all other levels of language, from phones to whole discourses, so researchers need the tools and understanding to analyse the contribution of prosody to their data.

It is great to see the broad coverage of levels of prosody and languages in this book.’

It will be compelling reading for students and teachers of English language and linguistics, as well as interested general readers.

‘Kate Beeching’s important contribution to the study of pragmatic markers in English combines – for the first time – detailed sociolinguistic

synchronic analysis with historical corpora studies in an accessible, informative, and readable text.’

The Cambridge Handbook of Formal Semantics Edited by Maria Aloni Universiteit van Amsterdam

and Paul Dekker Universiteit van Amsterdam

Formal semantics – the scientific study of meaning in natural language – is one of the most fundamental and long-established areas of linguistics.

This Handbook offers a comprehensive, yet compact guide to the field, bringing together research from a wide range of world-leading experts. Chapters include coverage of the historical context and foundation of contemporary formal semantics, a survey of the variety of formal/logical approaches to linguistic meaning and an overview of the major areas of research within current semantic theory, broadly conceived. The Handbook also explores the interfaces between semantics and neighbouring disciplines, including research in cognition and computation. This work will be essential reading for students and researchers working in linguistics, philosophy, psychology and computer science.

‘After half a century of intensive research, formal semantics has become a mature discipline taught in most linguistics departments. The Amsterdam people were among the pioneers, and they offer us what is most needed today: a comprehensive handbook covering the entire field, each chapter of which is written by a world expert. A must read for anyone interested in language.’

Semantics for Counting and Measuring Susan Rothstein Bar-Ilan University, Israel

The book is an investigation of the semantics of numericals, counting and measuring, and its connection to the mass/count distinction from a theoretical and crosslinguistic perspective. It reviews some recent major linguistic results in these topics, and presents the author’s new research including in-depth case studies of a number of typologically unrelated languages.

Advance praise: ‘At the interface between cognition, language, and ontology, traditional views on mass vs count are seriously

Morphology The Semantics of Compounding Edited by Pius ten Hacken

thought on the interface of morphology with other grammatical components and on the significance of morphology for understanding language change and the psychology of language; for students of linguistics, it is a guide to the presentday landscape of morphological science and to the advances that have brought it to its current state; and for readers in other fields (psychology, philosophy, computer science, and others), it reveals just how much we know about systematic relations of form to content in a language’s words – and how much we have yet to learn.

‘Wide-ranging and comprehensive, this volume is a welcome addition to the reference volumes currently available in the field of linguistic morphology. Covering everything from general theoretical issues, contemporary frameworks, and interfaces with phonology and syntax to computational, experimental, and psycholinguistic approaches, it will be a valuable resource to linguists and scholars in related fields.’

In a compound, two words are combined to make a new word. The meaning of the new word cannot easily be predicted on the basis of its constituent parts. This book presents three frameworks that give insights into the factors that contribute to the semantics of compounds in various languages.

Awareness and Control in Sociolinguistic Research Edited by Anna M. Babel Ohio State University

A sociolinguistic approach to the question of what speakers are aware of in language and to what extent they are able to control social markers when they speak. Incorporating diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to the topic of awareness and control, this book will be fascinating reading for students and professional academics.

‘In this important volume Anna M. Babel brings together scholars drawing on diverse methodologies (ethnographic, experimental, elicitation/interview) to demonstrate how themes of awareness and control that have been a central concern in the history of sociolinguistics have wide-reaching implications for integrating sociolinguistic research with sub-fields of theoretical and applied linguistics, and for interdisciplinary engagement with cognitive science, social psychology, and anthropology.’

Psycholinguistic Perspectives Edited by Marianne Hundt

University of Toronto

Mihaela Pirvulescu University of Toronto

Universität Zürich

Sandra Mollin Universität Heidelberg

University of Toronto

and Simone E. Pfenninger

The first book to consider all components of verbal transitivity and their development in child language acquisition. Ideal for advanced readers in language acquisition and syntactic theory, it demonstrates for nonspecialist readers, the intricacies of verbal transitivity and how children rely on structural, lexical and pragmatic knowledge to unravel the system.

Universität Salzburg

Advance praise: ‘This is an admirable example of how a sophisticated analysis of a narrowly defined and partly even invisible phenomenon can reveal deep insights into language acquisition, with wide-ranging consequences for syntactic theory. As such, it is also a demonstration of how acquisition research can inform grammatical theory. Beautifully written, this book is therefore highly recommended to a readership not only interested in language acquisition but also in syntactic theory.’

Advance praise: ‘This innovative collection sketches what a long overdue cooperation of psycholinguistics and language change could look like. By systematically investigating key psycholinguistic factors from both perspectives, it closes a striking gap in historical linguistics.’

Dialect Matters Respecting Vernacular Language Peter Trudgill Universitet i Agder, Norway

A fascinating exploration of English, its origins, dialects, accents, and place-names. Trudgill asks questions such as: why did ‘passengers’ become ‘customers’? What is the origin of the word ‘but’? How should we reply when told not to end a sentence with a preposition? (‘Why not?’).

‘We have here a fine resource for students and for the interested general reader. Trudgill’s explorations of vernacular language and his critique of ‘linguicism’ are erudite, socially relevant, and accessible.’

Language and the Law Linguistic Inequality in America Douglas A. Kibbee University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

This book explores how linguistic inequality affects the basic concepts of democracy, justice and fairness in the United States. It will interest sociolinguists working on language policy, students and scholars of ethnic studies, and legal scholars exploring how language issues intersect with the law.

Theoretical Debates Edited by Nikolas Coupland

HIGHLIGHT

Teen Talk The Language of Adolescents Sali A. Tagliamonte University of Toronto

Using extensive, spoken vernacular data collected by youth from youth, Tagliamonte argues that teen language is at the cutting edge of linguistic change, offering a window to the future. Richly illustrated and filled with engaging quotes, anecdotes and language puzzles, Teen Talk is fascinating reading for students, teachers and parents.

‘Teen Talk offers an exciting, thoughtprovoking and engaging observation of the ‘good, the bad and the lovely’ aspects of youth language. Using a wide range of datasets from the Bergen Corpus of London Teenage Language to insights gained from kitchen table conversations with her own children, Tagliamonte forcefully demonstrates how the linguistic behaviour of young people offers fascinating insights into the dynamics of how linguistic systems can be reorganized from one generation to the next. If you manage to read just one book on this topic at any stage of your own life, make it this one.’

‘This collection is clearly aimed at readers who already have a solid foundation in modern sociolinguistics and as such will likely stimulate new research directions. It should also prove useful to students of semiotics or linguistic historiography.’

E. J. Vajda, Choice

Four leading scholars present a fascinating book about change: shifting political, economic and cultural conditions; ephemeral multilingualism; and altered imaginaries for minority and indigenous languages and their users. The authors refer to this network of interlinked changes as the new conditions surrounding small languages in peripheral sites.

Edited by Barbara Dancygier University of British Columbia, Vancouver

The best survey of cognitive linguistics available, this Handbook provides an in-depth explanation of its rich methodology, key results, and interdisciplinary context. With in-depth coverage of the research questions, basic concepts, and various theoretical approaches, the Handbook addresses newly emerging subfields and shows their contribution to the discipline.

The Handbook introduces fields of study that have become central to cognitive linguistics, such as conceptual mappings and construction grammar. It explains all the main areas of linguistic analysis, traditionally expected in a full linguistics framework, and includes fields of study such as language acquisition, sociolinguistics, diachronic studies and corpus linguistics. Setting linguistic facts within the context of many other disciplines, the Handbook will be welcomed by researchers and students in a broad range of disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, gesture studies, computational linguistics and multimodal studies.

Advance praise: ‘This is the definitive introduction to Cognitive Linguistics that the mature field deserves, written by the leading practitioners in cognitive approaches to grammar, semantics, conceptual structure, phonology, and everything in-between (and all around). I can’t imagine a better introduction for students of language.’

Historical linguistics Language, Mind and Body A Conceptual History John E. Joseph University of Edinburgh

This book explores various attempts throughout the history of linguistics to explain language in terms of the body, and how these contribute to, and challenge, the more mainstream, mindbased accounts of language. Covering linguistics, philosophy, psychology and medicine, as well as literary and religious dimensions, it explores the question: where is language?

Advance praise: ‘Joseph vividly defamiliarizes linguistic categories we are accustomed to – abstract and concrete, langue and parole, embodied cognition, even language and mind. Rereading our histories, he rethinks what’s at stake when we affirm a ‘discipline’ of linguistics.’

English historical linguistics is a subfield of linguistics which has developed theories and methods for exploring the history of the English language.

This Handbook provides an account of state-of-the-art research on this history.

It offers an in-depth survey of materials, methods, and language-theoretical models used to study the long diachrony of English. The frameworks covered include corpus linguistics, historical sociolinguistics, historical pragmatics and manuscript studies, among others.

The chapters, by leading experts, examine the interplay of language theory and empirical data throughout, critically assessing the work in the field. Of particular importance are the diverse data sources which have become increasingly available in electronic form, allowing the discipline to develop in new directions. The Handbook offers access to the rich and many-faceted spectrum of work in English historical linguistics, past and present, and will be useful for researchers and students interested in hands-on research on the history of English.

‘Written by the foremost experts in the field, this timely handbook provides a fresh and exciting overview of methodologies and approaches in the diachronic study of the English language.’

The book is aimed at English-speaking learners of Japanese and seeks to extend their control of vocabulary in both production and comprehension.

Japanese near-synonyms are given clear descriptions of meaning (through English definitions) and use (in terms of combination, collocation and situational factors) and illustrated by authentic examples.

‘Using Japanese Synonyms is a thesaurus and reference for the intermediate and advanced student of Japanese. The hundreds of words and authentic examples are organized into approximately 300 semantic frames, which range literally from A (abunai) to Z (zenzen). Within each frame, the words and examples are chosen to highlight potential problems of understanding and differentiation for English-speaking learners. Meaning and register are explicitly addressed.

The volume includes two indices for easy access and cross-referencing, and it can be used for self-study or in a classroom setting.’

This engaging book focuses on the cognitive uses of literacy for thinking and reasoning. Reading and writing provide consciousness of aspects of language that are implicit and unconscious in speech. This consciousness of language is essential not only to literacy but also to the formation of systematic thought and rationality.

‘This is a highly original and compelling treatment of the effects of literacy on human consciousness, written by the world’s leading expert on the cognitive consequences of literacy. The interdisciplinary approach will be of interest to scholars of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, education, philosophy, and linguistics.’

TEXTBOOK

Language Evolution The Windows Approach Rudolf Botha University of Stellenbosch, South Africa

The lack of direct evidence about language evolution makes it notoriously difficult to study. The Windows Approach gleans indirect evidence about it from phenomena such as fossil skulls, prehistoric shell-beads, homesign systems, pidgin languages and motherese. Botha elucidates, analyses and appraises this approach in detail.

‘In 2006, Rudolf Botha launched an all out attack on the legitimacy of the claim that the South African archaeological site of Blombos had evidence of ‘fully syntactic’ language 75,000 years ago. No one has been able to counter the logic of his argument, and this book applies that same relentless, illuminating logic to other claims in the study of language origins. In doing so, Botha shows just how carefully any claims must be justified, and just how powerful his Windows Approach is. Students

and researchers in archaeology, primatology, linguistics, and comparative ethology cannot ignore this book.’

Iain Davidson, University of New England, Australia

Fossil skulls and ancestral brains; Part III. Analogue Windows: 5. Incipient pidgins and creoles; 6. Homesign systems and emergent sign languages; 7. Modern motherese; 8.

Fifty Texts with Translations and Linguistic Commentary Edited by J. N. Adams

The Cambridge Handbook of Cognitive Science

All Souls College, Oxford

Edited by Keith Frankish

This book contains over fifty passages of Latin from 200 BC to AD 900, each with translation and linguistic commentary.

It is not intended as an elementary reader (though suitable for university courses), but as an illustrative history of Latin covering more than a millennium, with almost every century represented.

Conventional histories cite constructions out of context, whereas this work gives a sense of the period, genre, stylistic aims and idiosyncrasies of specific passages. ‘Informal’ texts, particularly if they portray talk, reflect linguistic variety and change better than texts adhering to classicising norms. Some of the texts are recent discoveries or little known.

Writing tablets are well represented, as are literary and technical texts down to the early medieval period, when striking changes appear. The commentaries identify innovations, discontinuities and phenomena of long duration. Readers
