Semantic Change and Collective Knowledge in 18th Century Britain
John Regan, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Providing the first investigation of collective meaning and knowledge in the British 18th century, this interdisciplinary study identifies shared communities of meaning by highlighting and analysing patterns in the distribution of lexis in historical corpora Charting the forces of attraction that exist between words, detailed case studies serve to present how distant reading 18th-century corpora can tell us something new, methodologically defensible and, crucially, interesting, about the most common constructions of word meanings and epistemes in the printed British 18th century

Ainu of Japan Resisting the Suppression of Languages
An All Obliterated Tongue
Susan Samata, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
This book shows that by moving away from code models that foster restrictive perceptions of language as learned words and rules, and towards an ecolinguistics capable of integrating with concepts of embodied cognition, it is possible to recognise a broad range of connections with a language from which an individual or community has become estranged Using the Ainu of Japan, an indigenous population who are concurrently completely modern, as an example and comparator, this book reviews historical and contemporary suppression of languages as a means of, or as a bi-product of, the suppression of their speakers

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A new open access model for books
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
Following our 2023 pilot we have expanded our 2024-25 offering to three collections of 20 titles each in:
• African Studies & International Development
• Environment & Climate Change
• Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors
• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in
• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
For more information and to discuss participating in the 2025-26 programme, contact our Online Sales team:
