Linguistic Landscapes Beyond the Language Classroom
Edited by Greg Niedt, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, USA & Corinne A. Seals, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand This book argues that anywhere can be a space for people to learn from displayed texts, images, and other communicated signs, and consequently a space where teachable cultural moments are created. Bridging theoretical research and practical application, chapters consider how we make sense of places by understanding how the landscape is used to express, claim and contest identities. The book highlights the unexpected potential of the informal settings for learning and for teachers to expand their students' intercultural experience.

The Discursive Construction of Identity and Space Among Mobile People
Roberta Piazza, University of Sussex, UK The volume offers a close look at three marginalised groups: Irish travellers, squatters and homeless people. The study’s objectives are to understand more about these socially marginal groups and how individuals within them position themselves vis-à-vis mainstream society and to investigate the groups’ diverse and provisional relationship with space that challenges mainstream society’s spatial logic.

Irony
Pragmatic, Social and Legal Consequences
Paul Simpson, University of Liverpool, UK This book develops a comprehensive stylisticpragmatic framework for understanding the concept of irony and the way it functions in written and spoken language, across different social and cultural contexts. Paul Simpson showcases examples from the real world of language and communication to build an accessible model of irony, grounded in actual discursive events and their material outcomes. He reveals the full range of irony’s theoretical complexities and nuances, shedding light on conferred irony, ironic belief and situational irony to uncover the true pragmatic meaning of everyday ironic utterances.
Narrative Retellings
Stylistic Approaches
Edited by Marina Lambrou, Kingston University, UK Presenting pioneering work at the intersection of stylistics and narrative study, this volume explores the many ways in which narratives are retold in literary and non-literary texts.

Telecinematic Stylistics
Edited by Christian Hoffmann, University of Augsburg, Germany & Monika Kirner-Ludwig, University of Albany, New York, USA This volume shows how pragmatic themes and methods are adapted and applied to films. This includes speech acts, (im)politeness, implicature and context. Showing how pragmatic tropes and methods are applied and purposely adapted to filmic media, focussing on word, movement and gesture, this book presents current developments from the field from two complementary perspectives, looking stylistically at the discourse in film and the discourse of and around film. The study of discourse in film and television has become one of the most promising research avenues in stylistics and pragmatics and this book closes a long-standing gap by combining approaches.

Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics
Robert Poole, University of Alabama, USA Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics introduces key research concepts, principles and techniques in ecolinguistics and corpus-aided discourse study. Breaking new ground, the book analyses under-explored environmental discourses that have a tangible impact on ecological wellbeing and sustainability by perpetuating harmful attitudes, practices and ideologies. Chapters present in-depth case studies on disposability and consumption, the use of the word ‘water’ in national contexts and animal suffering in the meat industry. They apply the most effective tools from corpus linguistics to show in each case that ecological degradation and crisis have become normalized, and even trivialized, in popular discourse.

Theatre Translation
Theory and Practice
Massimiliano Morini, University of Urbino, Italy Arguing that any study of theatrical translation takes either a textual or performative approach, this book explores the history of translation theory through these lenses. Combining theory with practice, the book investigates how traditional theories of translation – from Cicero to the early 20th century – have been applied to theatrical translation. Tracing how textual views of translating for theatre gave way to full-fledged performative theories in parallel to the evolution of translation science into translation studies, this book presents a view of what theatre translation means today, both in theory and in practice.

Findings from Asian Languages
Jieun Kiaer, University of Oxford, UK Shedding new light on the constructive and expressive role of particles in natural language syntax and semantics, this book demonstrates that particle behaviours are neither arbitrary nor peripheral. Based on SOV agglutinative languages situated in Asia, previously overlooked in theoretical linguistics, Jieun Kiaer argues that particle behaviours are motivated sociopragmatically and play a crucial role in explaining syntactic and semantic phenomena. With data drawn from Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tamil, Turkish and Urdu, the constructive and attitudinal natures of the particles in these languages are analysed and modelled so that fundamentally syntactic decisions are driven by socio-pragmatic needs.

Interpersonal Meaning in Multimodal English Textbooks
Yumin Chen, Sun Yat-sen University, China Exploring multimodality in English language teaching textbooks, this book focuses on how language and image are co-deployed within these resources in order to create and convey interpersonal meaning. Yumin Chen uses systemic functional linguistics and social semiotics to investigate how different voices are introduced and aligned inter-modally in textbooks, extending the appraisal systems of engagement and graduation across language and image. She also examines how different kinds of coding orientation are deployed in various educational contexts and different constituent genres.

Linguistic Inquiries into Donald Trump’s Language
From 'Fake News' to 'Tremendous Success'
Edited by Ulrike Schneider, University of Mainz, Germany & Matthias Eitelmann, University of Mainz, Germany From short paratactic sentences to frequent repetition and parallelisms, Donald Trump’s idiolect is highly distinctive from that of previous Presidents of the USA. Combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, this volume identifies the characteristic features of Trump’s language and argues that his speech style, often underestimated by the media, is strategically implemented as a persuasive device. The chapters examine Trump’s tweets, inaugural address, political speeches, interviews, presidential debates and reality TV appearances, revealing populist language traits that establish his idiolect as a direct reflection of changing social norms.

Offensive Language
Taboo, Offence and Social Control
Jim O’Driscoll, University of Huddersfield, UK Offensive Language applies concepts from linguistic pragmatics and sociolinguistics to a wide range of examples, from TV to Twitter and from Mel Gibson to Donald Trump. Establishing a sharp distinction between potential offence and actual offence, Jim O'Driscoll then examines a series of case studies where offence has been caused, assessing the nature and degree of both the offence and the documented response to it. Through close linguistic analysis, this book explores the fine line between free speech and criminal activity, searching for a principled way to distinguish the merely embarrassing from the reprehensible and the censurable.
