SUMMARY The Algonquian Inverse by Will Oxford (ISBN 9780192871800) is a detailed examination of inversion as it occurs across the Algonquian language family, specifically its morphological forms and its direct effects on syntax and pragmatics in these languages. The book is academic in nature and geared towards linguists interested especially in Algonquian morphology, syntax and pragmatics, but also those who may be interested in the morphology and syntax of the inverse as found in languages mo

Combining corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and a discourse analysis of narratives, this book considers one aspect of the Brexit process: the language that journalists, politicians and individuals used to write and talk about what it means to be British and European around the time of Brexit. It reveals a trajectory towards a discourse of national division in Brexit Britain in three datasets: pro-Brexit newspaper articles, UK Government documents, and interviews with individual ci

Contributing to the rapidly emerging field of ecolinguistics, this book explores the role of language in mediating and determining our relationship with nature and in shaping attitudes and social practices in environmental areas. In doing so, it maps out research pathways for informed ecological debate that concerns both the planet and the discipline. The book centres on two case studies. The first is a nature reserve near Siracusa in Sicily run by Fabio Cilea, where flamingos have begun to bre

Moving beyond a more traditional view of language as a discrete sociocultural and cognitive entity that distorts our understanding of surrounding ecologies, this book argues that the starting point for ecolinguistics is an appreciation of language as not just about nature, but of nature. Exploring this conceptual change in the field, the book presents a process view in which language is substituted by languaging, emphasising the bioecologies that we cohabit with numerous other species. It puts

Natural human communication is multimodal. We pair speech with gestures, and combine writing with pictures from online messaging to comics to advertising. This richness of human communication remains unaddressed in linguistic and cognitive theories which maintain traditional amodal assumptions about language. What is needed is a new, multimodal paradigm. This book posits a bold reorganization of the structures of language, and heralds a reconsideration of its guiding assumptions. Human expressi

This book offers an up-to-date account of one of the most influential strands of eco-research: cognitive ecostylistics. The onset of the 1970s saw a global shift in scholarly perspective upon the relation between egocentric and ecocentric views of the world. The so-called eco-turn was not only linguistic at its roots, but engaged the bulk of academic thought in social sciences and humanities. Cognitive ecostylistics invites a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the conceptual relations b

Students and researchers of English Linguistics from the Chemnitz University of Technology and the University of Zaragoza have created a collection of example Twitter/X posts and press releases with comments on their language. The texts and the description of their linguistic strategies are meant to help researchers write their own texts. Still, different contexts, audiences, and personal writing styles will likely require different formulations. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for

This edited volume explores how African languages encode surprise, unexpectedness, and new information through linguistic structures and cultural expressions. Despite their vast diversity and richness, African languages have been underrepresented in global discussions on mirativity鈥攁 vibrant area of linguistic research. With contributions from across major African linguistic families, the book aims to document mirative constructions such as tonal shifts, affixation, and word order changes while

The term 鈥楽ociolinguistics鈥� started being used regularly in the 1960s. Before this time, research involving the social aspects of language had already been done. We would like to publish a selection of these in English -- in some shape or form, like summaries, depending on the available of the publications in question. The volume will provide insight into the early origins of the field. In the nineteenth century in particular, the awareness of the disappearance of dialects triggered an effort t
