This collection of papers presents some recent trends in metaphor studies that propose new directions of research on the embodied cognition perspective. The overall volume, in particular, shows how the embodied cognition still remains a relevant approach in a multidisciplinary research on the communicative side of metaphors, by focusing on both comprehension processes in science as well as learning processes in education. This volume presents an analytical tool for the study of the simultaneous idiosyncrasy and commonality of narrative experiencing.

The concept of storyworld possible selves is an application of blending theory to the linguistic and literary analysis of emotional responses to narratives and of perspectival alignment with fictional entities. Monograph, English, 1st quarter Many SLA professionals remain unaware of what CL and Applied Cognitive Linguistics are and of the tremendous potential these approaches offer for our understanding of L2 learning and pedagogy.

The volume addresses this gap by presenting theoretically-grounded, empirically-based studies which illustrate the application of key concepts of CL and demonstrate the efficacy of using the concepts in the classroom or in basic L2 research. Cognitive Linguistics; Second Language Acquisi-. This volume offers new insights into figurative language and its pervasive role as a factor of linguistic change.

The case studies included in this book explore some of the different ways new metaphoric and metonymic expressions emerge and spread among speech communities, and how these changes can be related to the need to encode ongoing social and cultural processes in the language. They cover a wide series of languages and historical stages. The field of constructionist linguistics is rapidly expanding, as research on a broad variety of language phenomena is increasingly informed by constructionist ideas about grammar.

This volume is comprised of 11 original research articles representing several emerging new research directions in construction grammar, which, together, offer a rich picture of the various directions in which the field seems to be moving. This book explores relationships between pairs of signs in terms of their form, meaning and context. It shows that many relationships among linguistic units such as synonymy, polysemy and allomorphy can be seen as parts of a single semiotic system. The authors use the term fingerprinting because comparing two constructions is similar to determining whether one fingerprint is similar to another.

Monograph, English, English, 1st quarter The collaborative work of scholars from 22 countries, Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics combines the exhaustive coverage of an encyclopedia with the indepth treatment of individual monographic studies. Edition, English, 3rd quarter The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the history of English and explores key questions and debates.

Semantics & Pragmatics

This volume focuses on the interplay of syntactic and semantic factors in language change. The contributions draw on data from numerous IndoEuropean languages and address the question of how syntactic and semantic change are linked and whether both are governed by similar constraints, principles and systematic mechanisms. The volume will appeal to scholars in historical linguistics and formal theories of syntax and semantics.

This book explores the linguistic expression of identity, intended as the social positioning of self and others, by focusing mostly on a scenario of prolonged language contact, namely the ancient Mediterranean area. The volume includes studies on language contact and on identity strategies developed at different levels of analysis, from phonetics to pragmatics, in, among others, Latin, Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Cypriot Arabic, Medieval Sardinian.

The volume collects original studies highlighting contemporary trends in historical sociolinguistics, as well as current research on the relationship between sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, social motivations of language variation and change, and corpus-based studies. Distinctive features of the book, which make it appealing to a wider audience, are the interdisciplinary nature of the chapters and the range of languages addressed.

Collection, English, Italian, 4th quarter Multidirectional language contact involving more than two languages is little described. However, it represents the most common type of contact in the world, where colonization, rapid socioeconomic and demographic change, and society-wide multilingualism have led to dramatic linguistic change. This book presents cases of multidirectional contact and convergence between diverse languages in an emerging linguistic area in Suriname and the Guianas.

Texts of the past were often produced by and for people with multilingual repertoires and thus reflect ongoing and earlier language contact situations — an insight that is increasingly important for understanding language history. This volume explores multilingual practices in familiar and neglected genres, periods and areas, discusses relevant concepts and theories, and introduces new methods of analyzing multilingualism in historical materials.

Multilingualism; Code-switching; Historical Linguistics. This book presents the role of ideology in language contact situations and the scope of its influence on linguistic behavior. It will also provide an important addition to the field of Yiddish linguistics. Language Contact; Minority Languages; Yiddish. By integrating novel developments in both contact linguistics and morphological theory, this volume pursues the topic of borrowed morphology by recourse to sophisticated theoretical and methodological accounts.

Van Gorp, University of Leuven; S. This book will be the first of its kind to offer intensive conversation analysis on patient-clinician interactions in the context of palliative medicine.

The book focuses on a series of individual case studies of conversations that revolve, in each case, around one key critical term that is often evoked or understood differently by clinicians and patients. Using Taiwan as a case study, this book constructs an innovative theory of a political sociology of language. Through documentary and ethnographic data and a comparative-historical method the book illustrates how language mediates interactions between society and the state and becomes politicized as a result; how language, politics and power are intertwined processes; and how these processes are not isolated in institutions but socially embedded.

Multiple senses are listed chronologically; etymologies, commentaries and citations support each usage. Monograph, English, 3rd quarter This book investigates the emergence of the definite and the indefinite article in English. Analyzing Old English prose texts, it discusses the nature of linguistic categorization and argues that a cognitive, usage-based construction grammar approach best explains when, how and why the article category developed. The observable grammaticalization is reconceptualized as constructionalization, which is triggered by analogy and frequency effects.
