Each chapter consists of carefully selected entries from Wells’s acclaimed phonetics blog, on which he regularly posted on a range of current and widely researched topics such as pronunciation, teaching, intonation, spelling and accents. Based on sound scholarship and full of fascinating facts about the pronunciation of Welsh, Swedish, Czech, Zulu, Icelandic and other languages, this book will appeal to scholars and students in phonetics and phonology, as well as general readers wanting to know more about language. Anyone interested in why a poster in Antigua invited cruise ship visitors to enjoy a game of porker, or what hymns can tell us about pronunciation, should read this book.

‘This delightful collection of fascinating anecdotes, keen observations about the ways things are pronounced and erudite reflections from his long and distinguished career as a phonetician will ensure that John Wells continues to be an inspiration not just for established linguists and students of phonetics but also for a wide range of readers with a general interest in language.’ David Deterding, Universiti Brunei Darussalam
‘There is absolutely nothing having to do with the speech sounds of English – and languages in general – that John Wells cannot write about brilliantly, persuasively, knowledgeably and entertainingly. Sounds Interesting truly is extraordinarily interesting.’

How do you pronounce omega, tortoise and sloth? – and why? Do charted and chartered sound the same? How do people pronounce the names Charon, Punjab, and Sexwale? In this engaging book, John Wells, a world-renowned phonetician and phonologist, explores these questions and others.

An Introduction to
and
A clear and up-to-date introduction to linguistics, this bestselling textbook addresses the full scope of language, from the traditional subjects of structural linguistics (relating to sound, form, meaning, and language change) to the more specialized subjects of contextual linguistics (including discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language). There are also separate chapters on language and the brain, computational linguistics, writing, and first and second language learning. Extensively classroom-tested, this second edition has been revised to further support student learning, with numerous new examples, exercises, and textboxes to model and contextualize key concepts. Updated throughout to incorporate contemporary issues and events, it includes worked examples of phonological analyses and multiple examples of a variety of World Englishes.

Drawing on recent interviews with people who write every day, Brandt explores this major turn in the development of mass literacy and examines the serious challenges it poses for America’s educational mission and civic health. Advance praise: ‘Based on seven years of interviewing people in workplaces, for the state, and as authors this remarkable book makes strong claims about the growing significance of writing.

Language Death David Crystal
The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern, not only among linguists and anthropologists but among all concerned with issues of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized culture. By some counts, only 600 of the 6,000 or so languages in the world are ‘safe’ from the threat of extinction. A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the fundamental question, ‘why is language death so important?’, reviews the reasons for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact. This book contains not only intelligent argument, but moving descriptions of the decline and demise of particular languages, and practical advice for anyone interested in pursuing the subject further.
The Universal Structure of Categories Towards a Formal Typology Martina Wiltschko University of British Columbia, Vancouver
Using data from a variety of languages, this book explores a range of grammatical categories and constructions, including tense, aspect, subjunctive, case and demonstratives. It presents a new theory of grammatical categories - the Universal Spine Hypothesis - and reinforces generative notions of Universal Grammar while accommodating insights from linguistic typology. ‘A radically new and highly promising approach, from a generative angle, to the question of what is universal and what is language specific in the domain of linguistic categories.’ Guglielmo Cinque, Università Ca’ Foscari, Venice Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 142

The Minimalist Program The Nature and Plausibility of Chomsky’s Biolinguistics Fahad Rashed Al-Mutairi University of Essex
This evaluation of Chomsky’s work from the perspectives of linguistics, evolution of language, history of physics, and philosophy of mind is interdisciplinary. It encourages linguists to reflect on the foundations of their discipline, and invites non-linguists to appreciate the complexity of human language and its place in the world. ‘A fascinating exploration of core concepts in Chomsky’s Minimalist Programme.

Elementary Syntactic Structures Prospects of a Feature-Free Syntax Cedric Boeckx ICREA and Universitat de Barcelona
Turning grammar upside down, this book proposes a new model of syntax that is better suited for interdisciplinary interactions, and shows how syntax can proceed free of lexical influence. The empirical domain examined is vast, and all the fundamental units and properties of syntax are rethought. ‘To be a good biolinguist, one needs to be a serious anti-lexicalist. Cedric Boeckx proves it by bringing together the highlights of modern syntactic theorizing and biological thinking.’ Koji Fujita, Kyoto University Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 144

Grammar and syntax Categorial Features A Generative Theory of Word Class Categories Phoevos Panagiotidis University of Cyprus
This book proposes a novel theory of parts of speech, bringing together the latest research and discoveries in the area from different viewpoints. The theory is richly illustrated with examples from a variety of languages and explains elements and phenomena central to the nature of human language. ‘A welcome reconsideration of the notion of lexical category from a syntactic-decomposition perspective. Panagiotidis draws together insights from a diverse array of frameworks to formulate his central hypothesis concerning the ‘perspective-taking’ contribution of (N) and (V) features at LF. His proposal has explanatory power in a number of domains, particularly in providing an intuitive rationale for the long-recognized requirement that lexical roots must be categorized in order to participate in a syntactic derivation. Other outstanding contributions include the idea that the notion of ‘functional’ reduces to ‘bears uninterpretable categorial features’, and a substantive characterization of what ‘semi-lexical’ really means. A very stimulating read.’ Heidi Harley, University of Arizona Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 145

A guide to the relations between a predicate and its arguments, for researchers and advanced students in linguistics. Engages foundational issues in both syntax and semantics, with attention to the correspondence between structure at the two levels. Chapters include discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. Advance praise: ‘This is a superb book, so much clearer than anything I have seen in many years. It will definitely make a mark in the discussion. The author has a remarkable command of both syntax and semantics and is able to provide simple and exact explanations.

It includes the first full-length study of dependent case assignment. The ideas are richly illustrated with data from more than twenty unrelated languages. Advance praise: ‘Case is impressive in its breadth and scope, the variety of data surveyed, and thoughtful argumentation.

Phase Theory An Introduction Barbara Citko University of Washington
Phase Theory is the latest empirical and conceptual innovation in syntactic theory within the Chomskyan generative tradition. Adopting a cross-linguistic perspective, this book provides an introduction to Phase Theory, tracing the development of phases in minimalist syntax. ‘The future has arrived! Modern syntactic theorizing now has its own up-to-date manual. Citko does an excellent service to the field with this superb, much needed introduction to Phase Theory.’
‘Noun phrase complexity, syntactic weight, and related notions take center stage in the empirical literature on grammatical variation. Berlage’s systematic and comprehensive study is required reading for all those who are in the business of measuring and interpreting these things.’ Benedikt Szmrecsanyi, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

Parentheticals in Spoken English The Syntax-Prosody Relation Nicole Dehé Universität Konstanz, Germany
Parentheticals have traditionally been assumed to lie outside the syntactic structure of the clause in which they are embedded, and in spoken English their external nature is marked by a difference in intonation. This study re-examines parentheticals and argues that they actually operate at the syntax-prosody interface. ‘This book is not only the most detailed study of spoken parentheticals to date, but should be required reading for anyone relying on phrasal segmentation for their prosodic analysis.’ Anne Wichmann, University of Central Lancashire Studies in English Language

Sounds Interesting Observations on English and General Phonetics J. C. Wells
How do you pronounce tortoise and sloth, and why? Do charted and chartered sound the same? How do people pronounce the names Charon and Punjab? In this engaging book, consisting of selected entries from his acclaimed phonetics blog, John Wells, a world-renowned phonetician and phonologist, explores these questions and others. ‘This delightful collection of fascinating anecdotes, keen observations about the ways things are pronounced, and erudite reflections from his long and distinguished career as a phonetician will ensure that John Wells continues to be an inspiration not just for established linguists and students of phonetics but also for a wide range of readers with a general interest in language.’ David Deterding, Universiti Brunei Darussalam 2014 247 x 174 mm 217pp 19 b/w illus. 978-1-107-07470-5 Hardback £50.00 / US$75.00 978-1-107-42710-5 Paperback £15.99 / US$24.99 For all formats available, see

Word Stress
The Structure of Spoken Language Intonation in Romance Philippe Martin University of Toronto
Drawing on data from six Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Romanian), this monograph focuses on a widely debated area of phonetics and phonology: intonation, and specifically its relation to metrics, its interface with syntax, and whether it can be attributed to phonetics or phonology, or equally to both. 2015 228 x 152 mm 280pp 190 b/w illus. 15 tables 978-1-107-03618-5 Hardback c. £65.00 / c.

Semantics and pragmatics Corpus Pragmatics A Handbook Edited by Karin Aijmer Göteborgs Universitet, Sweden
and Christoph Rühlemann Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany
This is the first handbook to survey and expand the burgeoning field of corpus pragmatics, the intersection of pragmatics and corpus linguistics. It covers corpus-pragmatic research carried out in key areas such as speech acts, reference and conversational organisation. ‘Pragmatics and corpus linguistics are two major areas of linguistics which developed with very different trajectories from the 1960s and 1970s. This volume shows that they are now on convergent paths, and that corpus pragmatics is an emerging discipline in its own right.’ Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University 2014 228 x 152 mm 480pp 38 b/w illus. 39 tables 978-1-107-01504-3 Hardback £80.00 / US$125.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics Edited by Douglas Biber Northern Arizona University
and Randi Reppen Northern Arizona University
The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics (CHECL) surveys the breadth of corpus-based linguistic research on English, including chapters on collocations, phraseology, grammatical variation, historical change, and the description of registers and dialects. The most innovative aspects of the CHECL are its emphasis on critical discussion, its explicit evaluation of the state of the art in each sub-discipline, and the inclusion of empirical case studies. While each chapter includes a broad survey of previous research, the primary focus is on a detailed description of the most important corpus-based studies in this area, with discussion of what those studies found, and why they are important. Each chapter also includes a critical discussion of the corpus-based methods employed for research in this area, as well as an explicit summary of new findings and discoveries.

The Cambridge Handbook of Stylistics Edited by Peter Stockwell University of Nottingham
and Sara Whiteley University of Sheffield
Stylistics has become the most common name for a discipline which at various times has been termed ‘literary linguistics’, ‘rhetoric’, ‘poetics’, ‘literary philology’ and ‘close textual reading’. This Handbook is the definitive account of the field, drawing on linguistics and related subject areas such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, educational pedagogy, computational methods, literary criticism and critical theory. Placing stylistics in its intellectual and international context, each chapter includes a detailed illustrative example and case study of stylistic practice, with arguments and methods open to examination, replication and constructive critical discussion. As an accessible guide to the theory and practice of stylistics, it will equip the reader with a clear understanding of the ethos and principles of the discipline, as well as with the capacity and confidence to engage in stylistic analysis. ‘Students and scholars of linguistics and literature, who are interested in the past, the present and the future of stylistics, will find this Handbook an invaluable resource. Offering informative, insightful and engaging discussions of a wide range of topics, this exciting new volume represents state-of-the-art research into the theory and practice of stylistics.’ Dan Shen, Changjiang Professor of English, Peking University

The Cambridge Handbook of Bilingual Processing Edited by John W. Schwieter Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario
How does a human acquire, comprehend, produce and control multiple languages with just the power of one mind? What are the cognitive consequences of being a bilingual? These are just a few of the intriguing questions at the core of studying bilingualism from psycholinguistic and neurocognitive perspectives. Bringing together some of the world’s leading experts in bilingualism, cognitive psychology and language acquisition, The Cambridge Handbook of Bilingual Processing explores these questions by presenting a clear overview of current theories and findings in bilingual processing. This comprehensive handbook is organized around overarching thematic areas including theories and methodologies, acquisition and development, comprehension and representation, production, control, and the cognitive consequences of bilingualism. The handbook serves as an informative overview for researchers interested in cognitive bilingualism and the logic of theoretical and experimental approaches to language science. It also functions as an instrumental source of readings for anyone interested in bilingual processing. Contributors: John W.

The Acquisition of Syntactic Structure Animacy and Thematic Alignment Misha Becker University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
This book explains how children’s early ability to distinguish between animate and inanimate nouns helps them acquire complex sentence structure. The theoretical claims of the book expand the well-known hypotheses of Syntactic and Semantic Bootstrapping, resulting in greater coverage of the core principles of language acquisition. ‘This book is a major milestone for acquisition research in the ‘strict’ sense: what exactly does the adult know, and how do children acquire that knowledge? Becker is conversant with an unusually broad range of disciplines, including generative grammar, developmental psychology, and computational modeling. This enables her to support the book’s central thesis – that children use animacy cues for detecting syntactic displacement – with strong, converging evidence from cross-linguistic comparisons, adult psycholinguistics, Bayesian models, transcripts of child-directed speech, and laboratory experiments with children.’ William Snyder, Linguistics and Cognitive Science, University of Connecticut Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 141

This collection documents how peer talk can contribute to their socialization and demonstrates that if we are to understand how children learn in everyday interactions we must explore peer group cultures, talk, and activities. ‘Child language researchers and early childhood educators have long focused on the opportunities to learn inherent in adult-child interactions. The chapters in this book make clear that peer interactions offer similarly rich, but very different, opportunities to acquire communicative and language skills. Readers of this book will understand the value of attending carefully to those opportunities and to the skills they promote.’ Catherine Snow, Patricia Albjerg Graham Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education 2014 228 x 152 mm 288pp 16 b/w illus. 6 tables 978-1-107-01764-1 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Endangered Languages and New Technologies Edited by Mari C. Jones University of Cambridge
This book discusses how new technologies have the potential to revolutionise the documentation, analysis and revitalisation of endangered languages for the linguist and indigenous community alike. It addresses the challenges that come with these new resources and debates how their application may be advanced.
Advance praise: ‘Three points will make this volume a strong contribution to the sociolinguistics of youth identities in the twenty-first century: its inclusive approach to structure, practice and ideology as closely intertwined dimensions of linguistic study; its coverage of a broad range of languages, communities, and communicative contexts; and the comparative design of the individual chapters, which reveal fascinating, and sometimes unexpected, patterns of similarity and contrast.’

The Language Myth Why Language Is Not an Instinct Vyvyan Evans Bangor University
Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human ‘instinct’ pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth. ‘A much-needed, comprehensive critique of universal grammar. Vyvyan Evans builds a compelling case that will be difficult to refute.’ David Crystal, author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language
University of California, Berkeley
This lively, comprehensive and practical book offers a new, integrated and linguistically sound understanding of what figurative language is. ‘This book breaks new ground in the cognitive linguistic study of metaphor, simile and metonymy.

The global media recently announced that the mysteries surrounding the Indo-European languages had been solved by evolutionary biologists using cutting-edge computational techniques. This book asserts that the origin and spread of languages must be examined primarily through the time-tested techniques of linguistic analysis, rather than those of evolutionary biology.

Led by a team of experts, this book draws on a range of informal letter corpora and outlines the historical sociolinguistic value of letter analysis, both in theory and practice. This study challenges and questions ‘standard’ language ideologies and highlights the importance of non-standard vernacular forms.
Looking specifically at morphological and syntactic change, this book draws on a diverse range of written language data. Looking at a variety of genres such as sermons, chronicles, legal and literary texts, it shows the Late Modern period to be an important era in the development of English.

The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology Edited by N. J. Enfield Max Planck Institute
Paul Kockelman Yale University, Connecticut
and Jack Sidnell University of Toronto
The field of linguistic anthropology looks at human uniqueness and diversity through the lens of language, our species’ special combination of art and instinct. Human language both shapes, and is shaped by, our minds, societies, and cultural worlds. This state-of-thefield survey covers a wide range of topics, approaches and theories, such as the nature and function of language systems, the relationship between language and social interaction, and the place of language in the social life of communities. Promoting a broad vision of the subject, spanning a range of disciplines from linguistics to biology, from psychology to sociology and philosophy, this authoritative handbook is an essential reference guide for students and researchers working on language and culture across the social sciences. ‘Masquerading under the humble rubric of a ‘Handbook’, this stunning collection of original essays juxtaposes many of the central senior figures of linguistic anthropology with an impressive array of younger voices – including the editors themselves – shaking the mix further by sometimes unexpected but always provocative conjunctions of themes and expertise. It presents fresh evidence for why theoretical advances stemming from a preoccupation with language now inform the best of current anthropological thinking more widely. The collection not only spans an impressive range of linguistic and transdisciplinary topics, but also reflects the main centers of research and discovery in modern linguistic anthropology.’ John B. Haviland, University of California, San Diego

Drawn from the Ground Sound, Sign and Inscription in Central Australian Sand Stories Jennifer Green University of Melbourne
Sand stories from Central Australia are a traditional form of Aboriginal women’s verbal art that incorporates speech, song, sign, gesture and drawing. This detailed study takes a multimodal approach to the analysis of the stories and shows how the expressive elements used in the stories are orchestrated together. ‘It is a commonplace to note that humans communicate with one another in many different ways. It is rare, however, to encounter analyses of human communication which display analytically the complex nature of how the semiotic ensemble humans make use of may be organised. Drawn from the Ground is an outstanding example of such an analysis. Besides being a very significant contribution to our understanding of an important and interesting cultural practice among central Australian Aborigines, this book is remarkable for the insightful way in which it demonstrates how diverse semiotic modalities function in relation to one another. An extremely valuable piece of work.’ Adam Kendon, University of Pennsylvania and University College London Language Culture and Cognition, 13

Classical languages New in Paperback
The Regional Diversification of Latin 200 BC – AD 600 J. N. Adams University of Oxford
Classical Latin appears to be without regional dialects, yet Latin evolved in little more than a millennium into a variety of different languages. This book argues comprehensively that Latin in fact never lacked regional variations and examines the changing patterns and causes of this diversity throughout the Roman period. ‘Without doubt, this book will have a wide-ranging relevance and impact. … Adams has produced a rare book of outstanding scope and insight, combining all the best aspects of modern criticism with unrivalled traditional scholarship.’ Britannia 2014 229 x 152 mm 850pp 978-1-107-68458-4 Paperback £27.99 / US$41.99 Also available 978-0-521-88149-4 Hardback £149.99 / US$249.99 For all formats available, see

Expressions of Time in Ancient Greek Coulter H. George University of Virginia
English speakers find it hard to explain why they say something happens at a particular time, but on a certain day, and in a given year; however this book does just that for Ancient Greek, describing not only variation among Classical authors, but also diachronic change in the following centuries.

The Colloquia of the Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana Edited by Eleanor Dickey University of Reading
The Colloquia are manuals written to help ancient Greeks and Romans get around in each other’s languages; they contain examples of how to conduct activities like shopping, banking, visiting friends, hosting parties, taking oaths, winning lawsuits, using the public baths, having fights, making excuses and going to school. They thus offer a unique glimpse of daily life in the early Roman Empire and are an important resource for understanding ancient culture. They have, however, been unjustly neglected because until now there were no modern editions of the texts, no translations into any modern language, and little understanding of what the Colloquia are and where they come from. This two-volume set makes the Colloquia accessible for the first time by combining a new edition, translation and commentary with a groundbreaking, comprehensive study of their origins. It is clearly written and will interest students, non-specialists and professional scholars alike.

Automated Evaluation of Text and Discourse with Coh-Metrix Danielle S. McNamara
Developmental psychology Early Social Interaction A Case Comparison of Developmental Pragmatics and Psychoanalytic Theory Michael A. Forrester University of Kent, Canterbury
Using an in-depth case-study approach this book documents how one child learns how to talk and begins to deal with emotional experience. Through examining web-linked resources readers can evaluate the proposal that learning the skills of conversation and learning what to repress are equally important during the early years. ‘Forrester is to be congratulated for orchestrating a fruitful dialogue between two apparently incompatible voices: the ethnomethodologist and the psychoanalyst. The result is a sparklingly original account of the interplay between what the child does and what the child feels. This is an empirically-based, scholarly tour de force that will fascinate anyone interested in how children develop behaviourally, cognitively and emotionally.’ Charles Antaki, Loughborough University 2014 228 x 152 mm 301pp 11 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-04468-5 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Cognition Cognitive Neuroscience of Natural Language Use Edited by Roel M. Willems Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen
Can we study the brain basis of language, as we use it in our daily lives? In this book a range of international experts provide a state-of-the-art overview of current approaches to the cognitive neuroscience of natural language use. Advance praise: ‘Pointing toward a bright, exciting, and socially relevant future for neurolinguistics, this star-studded collection of essays demonstrates that researchers need not confine themselves to rigidly controlled experiments involving sterile stimuli, but can instead employ a wide range of techniques to investigate how our brains subserve the richness of realworld language use.’ David Kemmerer, Purdue University
