Intralingual Translation of British Novels
A Multimodal Stylistic Perspective
Linda Pillière, Aix-Marseille University, France This book explores the various ways that British novels, from children’s fiction to travelogues and Book Prize winners, have been adapted and rewritten to be more culturally acceptable and accessible for the US market. From paratextual differences in cover, illustrations, typeface and footnotes to dialectal changes to lexis, tense, syntax and punctuation, Linda Pillière reveals the sociocultural and ideological pressures involved in intralingual translation and shows how the stylistic effects of such changes – including loss of meaning, voice, rhythm and word play – often result in a more muted American edition.

The Language and Imagery of Coma and Brain Injury
Representations in Literature, Film and Media
Matthew Colbeck, University of Sheffield, UK This book explores common tropes and linguistic devices used to shape universal mythologies of coma.

Discussing novels by Irvine Welsh, Stephen King, Tom McCarthy and Douglas Coupland, as well as film and media texts such as The Sopranos, Kill Bill, Coma and The Walking Dead, Matthew Colbeck reveals the impact these representations have upon our own understanding of coma and its victims.

Rationality and Interpretation
On the Identities of Language
David Evans, Liverpool Hope University, UK Taking a unique approach which combines sociolinguistics with theoretical linguistics, this book presents a view of language and grammar as simultaneously a cognitive and socio-cultural phenomena. Showing how language development can act back on central areas of grammar and language, this book explores the notion that different branches of linguistics can complement each other and are not mutually exclusive. Drawing on the philosophical ideas of Bakhtin, Bergson, Chomsky, Derrida and Wittgenstein, David Evans explores how language progresses from an inner reflection of the rational mind to develop social and ideological aspects as it interacts with culture.

The Burden of Traumascapes
Discourses of Remembering in BosniaHerzegovina and Beyond
Maida Kosatica, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Demonstrating the range of linguistic and semiotic practices which are deployed in the construction of war memory, The Burden of Traumascapes investigates the discourses of remembering that are enculturated in the everyday lives of the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Reintroducing the concept of 'traumascapes', this book demonstrates that semiotic landscapes are marked by traumatic legacies of violence in which the sense of trauma establishes its meaning through the discourses of remembering.

Multilingual Environments in the Great War
Edited by Julian Walker, University of the Arts London, UK & Christophe Declercq, University College London, UK Exploring the differing ways in which language has been used to try to make sense of the First World War, this book develops a transnational viewpoint of the experience of war. Taking the study of the First World War far beyond the Western Front, chapters examine experiences in Africa, Armenia, post-war Australia, Russia and Estonia, and in a variety of contexts, from prisoner-of-war and internment camps to food queues and post-war barracks. The book brings together language experiences of conflict from both combatants and the home front, connecting language and literature with linguistic analysis of the immediacy of communication.

Exploring British Sign Language via Systemic Functional Linguistics
A Metafunctional Approach
Luke A. Rudge, University of the West of England, UK Presenting a description and analysis of British Sign Language (BSL) from the perspective of Hallidayean Systemic Functional Linguistics, Luke A. Rudge explores how BSL users make meaning from three different perspectives: How exchanges of information are managed at a social level (the interpersonal metafunction); How experience is encoded in the language (the experiential metafunction); How communications are organised into coherent parts and wholes (the textual metafunction).

Appliable Linguistics and Social Semiotics
Developing Theory from Practice
Edited by David Caldwell, University of South Australia, Australia, John S. Knox, Macquarie University, Australia & J. R. Martin, University of Sydney, Australia This volume examines the theoretical insights, questions, and developments that have emerged from the application of Systemic Functional theory to a range of fields, from education, medicine and media to popular film, robotics and sports coaching.

Vladimir Nabokov as an AuthorTranslator
Julie Loison-Charles, Lille University, France Exploring the deeply translational and transnational nature of the writings of Vladimir Nabokov, this book argues that all his work is unified by the permanent presence of three cultures and languages: Russian, English and French. Looking at Nabokov’s encounters with pseudotranslation, Julie Loison-Charles demonstrates its influence on his practice as both a translator and a writer. This book also cast light on Nabokov’s transnational vision of literature and his ethics of translation and draws particular attention to his often underestimated, yet crucial, third language: French.

A Deductive Study of Communication and Meaning
