The Cambridge Dictionary of English Grammar Pam Peters Macquarie University, Sydney

The most up-to-date A-Z resource available for English grammar, this dictionary provides concise, practical definitions and explanations of hundreds of terms. Each term includes examples and cross references to related concepts. All the currently accepted terms of grammar are included, as well as older, traditional names, controversial new coinages, and items from the study of other languages. The dictionary pinpoints differences in the use of the same terminology, such as ‘adjunct’, ‘complement’, ‘verb phrase’, as well as alternative terms used for much the same concept, such as ‘noun phrase’, ‘nominal group’; ‘agentless passive’, ‘short passive’. It provides a wealth of examples, as well as notes on the relative frequencies of grammatical alternatives, such as ‘will’ and ‘shall’. It also draws attention to some of the differences between spoken and written English grammar. ‘Grammarians love to invent new terms for their categories and, with the advent within two decades of four comprehensive English grammars embracing different approaches, there is a need for a book like this. Professor Peters has made a splendid job of it. What she has achieved is not only a clear exposition of divergent nomenclature but also an impressive independent overview of English grammar with additional information based on her own research in areas like word formation, orthography and relative frequencies of grammatical alternatives. Unreservedly recommended.’ Jan Svartvik, Emeritus Professor, Lund University 2013 247 x 174 mm 400pp 978-0-521-86319-3 Hardback £75.00 Publication December 2013 For all formats available, see

This volume takes an empirical approach to an important syntactic phenomenon – the ‘island’. For the first time, leading linguists and psycholinguists set the topic within an empirical context. This book is ideal for students and researchers interested in cutting-edge experimental techniques in linguistics, psycholinguistics and psychology. ‘This important collection of papers demonstrates the utility of experimental syntax by elucidating the debate about the nature and source of syntactic island effects concerning the interaction of the grammar and the processor, thereby providing an excellent introduction to a new avenue for syntactic research.’ Robert Freidin, Princeton University 2013 228 x 152 mm 430pp 67 b/w illus. 21 tables 978-1-107-00870-0 Hardback £70.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge Handbook of Generative Syntax Edited by Marcel den Dikken City University of New York

Syntax – the study of sentence structure – has been at the centre of generative linguistics from its inception and has developed rapidly and in various directions. The Cambridge Handbook of Generative Syntax provides a historical context for what is happening in the field of generative syntax today, a survey of the various generative approaches to syntactic structure available in the literature and an overview of the state of the art in the principal modules of the theory and the interfaces with semantics, phonology, information structure and sentence processing, as well as linguistic variation and language acquisition. This indispensable resource for advanced students, professional linguists (generative and non-generative alike) and scholars in related fields of inquiry presents a comprehensive survey of the field of generative syntactic research in all its variety, written by leading experts and providing a proper sense of the range of syntactic theories calling themselves generative. ‘This magisterial overview of the historical development and current state of generative syntax is balanced, wide-ranging, intermittently controversial, always constructive, and consistently useful to neophyte and seasoned researcher alike.’ Neil Smith, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, University College London

narrow syntax. It successfully shows that the syntactic formalization of notions such as Speaker and Addressee are necessary to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of grammar. The authors draw a fascinating picture of how a syntactic theory can incorporate and represent indexicality.’

This book presents and discusses a novel feature-based theory of parts of speech, which combines a commitment to categorial features as primitives with a syntactic decomposition approach. The theory captures a number of phrase structure phenomena, the existence of functional categories and the nature of mixed projections.

The Universal Structure of Categories Towards a Formal Typology Martina Wiltschko University of British Columbia, Vancouver

Linguistic descriptions make reference to grammatical categories. This monograph addresses three questions: What are grammatical categories? How do we identify them? And are they universal? It develops a novel theory according to which grammatical categories are constructed based on a small set of universal categories, resolving the longstanding tension between generative assumptions and empirical findings reported in the tradition of descriptive typology.

Phonetics and phonology The Emergence of Phonology Whole-word Approaches and Cross-linguistic Evidence Edited by Marilyn M. Vihman University of York

and Tamar Keren-Portnoy University of York

How well have classic ideas on child phonology stood the test of time? This volume brings classic texts from the last 30 years together with contemporary data-rich studies and presents the reader with cutting edge perspectives on child language by linking historical approaches with current ideas. ‘The field of language acquisition – and indeed, theoretical linguistics itself – has seen a dramatic shift in views about how sounds, words, and meanings are acquired. The assumption that segments or phonemes were the [foundation] to learning (often with the accompanying assumption that these units were innately specified) has been challenged by findings that support the usage-based ‘whole word’ approach presented here. Although the sea change is recent, the idea itself has important antecedents dating back at least to the 1970s. This volume is a wonderful collection of papers. Some are foundational classics. Other, more recent works, reflect new insights into the role of exemplars, templates, and schema in the acquisition of phonology. Taken together, the collection presents an account of phonological development that is both cutting edge and compelling.’ Jeffrey L. Elman, University of California, San Diego

Highlight

Studies in Words Second edition C. S. Lewis

Language – in its communicative and playful functions, its literary formations and its shifting meanings – is a perennially fascinating topic. C. S. Lewis’s Studies in Words explores this fascination by taking a series of words and teasing out their connotations using examples from a vast range of English literature, recovering lost meanings and analysing their functions. It doubles as an absorbing and entertaining study of verbal communication, its pleasures and problems. The issues revealed are essential to all who read and communicate thoughtfully, and are handled here by a masterful exponent and analyst of the English language.

Stylistics 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. Advance praise: ‘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

Native Speakers and Native Users Loss and Gain Alan Davies University of Edinburgh

‘Native speakers’ and ‘native users’ are terms traditionally used to differentiate between speakers who have acquired a language from birth and speakers who have learnt a second language. Davies argues that there is no significant difference between native speakers and native users, and emphasises the importance of the Standard Language. ‘Davies interrogates the Native Speaker, together with the conspiring partner Native User, with disarming logic and multiple lines of incriminating evidence. The two

The idea that spatial cognition provides the foundation of linguistic meanings, even highly abstract meanings, has been put forward by a number of linguists in recent years. This book takes this proposal into new dimensions and develops a theoretical framework based on simple geometric principles.

The Cambridge Handbook of Communication Disorders Edited by Louise Cummings Nottingham Trent University

Many children and adults experience impairment of their communication skills. These communication disorders impact adversely on all aspects of these individuals’ lives. In thirty dedicated chapters, The Cambridge Handbook of Communication Disorders examines the full range of developmental and acquired communication disorders and provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features of these disorders. The volume also examines how these disorders are assessed and treated by speech and language therapists and addresses recent theoretical developments in the field. The handbook goes beyond well-known communication disorders to include populations such as children with emotional disturbance, adults with non-Alzheimer dementias and people with personality disorders. Each chapter describes in accessible terms the most recent thinking and research in communication disorders. The volume is an ideal guide for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in speech and language therapy. ‘Dr Cummings has assembled a group of exceptionally well-qualified scholars to generate a volume in the tradition of earlier handbooks on communication disorders – one that brings it to theoretical and

clinical modernity. It will become required reading for practising speech-language clinicians as well as researchers and educators within the discipline and across related disciplines such as psychology, linguistics and medicine. This handbook will be a frequently cited volume that summarizes the current state of knowledge in communication science and disorders. It also will serve as a stimulus for the enigmatic in our attempt to understand and manage the myriad impairments of our most complex cognitive function.’ Malcolm R. McNeil, University of Pittsburgh

The Study of Speakers’ Choices Second edition Florian Coulmas

Why do we speak the way we do? What social factors influence our choices of expression? This best-selling introduction to the study of language and society encourages students to ask how and why we select from the vast range of different words, accents, varieties and languages available to us. ‘To write a great introductory text you have to make a statement about fundamental issues. Here, the notion of choice bridges the gap between micro and macrosociolinguistics and brings both cohesion and edge to the book.’ Frans Gregersen, The Lanchart Centre, University of Copenhagen

Contents: 1. Introduction: notions of language; Part I. Micro-choices: 2. Standard and dialect: social stratification as a factor of linguistic choice; 3. Gendered speech: sex as a factor of linguistic choice; 4. Communicating across generations: age as a factor of linguistic choice; 5. Choice and change; 6. Politeness: cultural dimensions of linguistic choice; Part II. Macro-choices: 7. Code-switching: linguistic choices across language boundaries; 8. Diglossia and bilingualism: functional restrictions on language choice; 9. Language spread, shift and maintenance: how groups choose their language; 10.

Eckert and McConnell-Ginet, two of the most important scholars writing in sociolinguistics and semantics today, have established a new direction for research in the field of language and gender. There is a reason that this now classic text is being reissued in second edition: no other book in this field makes a more convincing case for the crucial interdependence of language, gender, and sexuality in the formation of diverse twenty-first-century subjectivities. Revised to include all the provocative research directions of the last decade, this new edition of Language and Gender is a must-read for students and scholars who are engaged in the grounded analytics of social life.’ Kira Hall, University of Colorado

The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology Edited by N. J. Enfield Max-Planck-Institut für Psycholinguistik, The Netherlands

Paul Kockelman University of Texas, Austin

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.

Speech Communities What makes a speech community? How do they evolve? Speech communities are central to our understanding of how language and interactions occur in society. In this book readers will find an overview of the main concepts and critical arguments surrounding how language and communication styles distinguish and identify groups. Advance praise: ‘This is the book we were waiting for. An informed and innovative introduction that makes us appreciate speech communities as sites for socialization, contestation, and creativity. We come away with a much better understanding of the authority of standard languages, the creativity of marginalized speech styles, and the attraction of new forms of digital literacy. A great resource for teaching and thinking critically about the power of language as well as its limitations.’ Alessandro Duranti, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Los Angeles Key Topics in Linguistic Anthropology

Drawn from the Ground

Narrative in English Conversation

Sound, Sign and Inscription in Central Australian Sand Stories Jennifer Green

A Corpus Analysis of Storytelling Christoph Rühlemann

University of Melbourne

Storytelling is a fundamental mode of everyday interaction. Based on new data and cutting-edge technologies, this groundbreaking book makes use of a specialized corpus of naturally occurring narratives to facilitate large-scale quantitative investigations, and offer new insights, into how narrators and recipients cooperate when telling stories.

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. Advance praise: ‘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

No scholar of narratives will want to miss this.’

Cognitive linguistics The Language Myth Uncovering the True Nature of Language, Mind and Being Human Vyvyan Evans University of Wales, Bangor

Is language an instinct, something we are all born with? Conventional wisdom thinks so: language emerged as a genetic mutation, in near perfect form, 100,000+ years ago. However, recent research now shows this to be plain wrong. This book debunks this ‘language myth’, and uncovers the true origins of language, the nature of mind and being human.

What is the origin of the Romance languages and how did they evolve? When and how did they become different from Latin, and from each other? Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Romance Languages offers fresh and original reflections on the principal questions and issues in the comparative external histories of the Romance languages. It is organised around the two key themes of influences and institutions, exploring the fundamental influence, of contact with and borrowing from, other languages (including Latin), and the cultural and institutional forces at work in the establishment of standard languages and norms of correctness. A perfect complement to the first volume, it offers an external history of the Romance languages combining data and theory to produce new and revealing perspectives

Latin American language, linguistics The Native Languages of South America Origins, Development, Typology Edited by Loretta O’Connor Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

and Pieter Muysken Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

In South America indigenous languages are extremely diverse. There are over one hundred language families in this region alone. Contributors from around the world explore the history and structure of these languages, combining insights

This book analyzes metalinguistic constructions of Spanish in specific historical and political contexts. Its structure combines the traditional chronological organization of linguistic history and spatial categories such as Iberia, Latin America and the US whilst at the same time pointing at the limits of such organizational principles. ‘With more than 400 million speakers spread over every continent, the Spanish language represents a powerful social and political force in the modern world. A political history of Spanish traces the development of Spanish from a rustic regional vernacular to a multi-center world powerhouse, including the rise of Castilian as the variety of choice and the institutional control of the Royal Academy. The coverage includes Spain, Spanish America, the United States, Africa, and Asia. This skilfully configured anthology provides a valuable complement to linguistic histories of Spanish, by documenting the socio-political currents that shaped one of the world’s most prominent languages. Historians, linguists, political scientists, and students of language and culture will find relevant and thought-provoking material in these essays.’ John Lipski, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Spanish and Linguistics, Pennsylvania State University 2013 228 x 152 mm 442pp 2 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-00573-0 Hardback £75.00 For all formats available, see

The Aesthetics of Grammar Sound and Meaning in the Languages of Mainland Southeast Asia Edited by Jeffrey P. Williams Texas Tech University

The languages of mainland Southeast Asia evidence an impressive array of elaborate grammatical resources such as echo words, phonaesthetic words, chameleon affixes, onomatopoeic forms, ideophones and expressives. This book provides a detailed comparative overview of the mechanisms by which aesthetic qualities of speech operate as part of speakers’ grammatical knowledge. Advance praise: ‘A groundbreaking introduction to an important, long-neglected phenomenon. The descriptive and theoretical problems posed by expressive systems are a serious challenge for the next generation of linguists, and scholars seeking to engage this challenge will begin with this volume.’ Scott DeLancey, University of Oregon 2013 228 x 152 mm 308pp 4 b/w illus. 2 maps 25 tables 978-1-107-00712-3 Hardback £65.00 Publication December 2013 For all formats available, see

Through exercises, discussion points and assignment built into every chapter, the book presents the Arabic language in vivid and engaging terms. Advance praise: ‘This highly accessible book serves two constituencies: Arabists who wish to learn the basics of linguistic theory and how it applies to Arabic, and linguists who wish to learn the basics of Arabic and how it fits into linguistic theory.

The Languages of the Jews A Sociolinguistic History Bernard Spolsky Bar-Ilan University, Israel

Jewish historical sociolinguistics is rich in unanswered questions: when does a language become ‘Jewish’? What was the origin of Yiddish? This book presents a vivid commentary on Jewish survival and Jewish speech communities, investigating difficult questions about language varieties and choices in speech and writing. Advance praise: ‘Bernard Spolsky’s magnum opus shows us the complexities of a globalized sociolinguistic system within a relatively small community of people. It is a sobering book for those who still cherish a one culture – one language image of societies, and an encouragement to all those who take delight in the unexpected intricacies of language in society.’ Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University
