EccentriCities: Writing in the Margins of Modernism St. Petersburg to Rio de Janeiro Sharon Allen, The State University of New York, Brockport , USA

Double-voicing at Work Power, Gender and Linguistic Expertise

EccentriCities: Writing in the Margins of Modernism critically considers how geo-historically distant and disparate urban sites, concentrating Russian and LusoBrazilian cultural dialogue and definition, give rise to peculiarly parallel anachronistic and alternative fictional forms.

Judith Baxter, Aston University, UK This book reveals how 'double-voicing' is an inherent and routine part of spoken interactions within institutional contexts. Baxter's research shows that women use double-voicing more than men as a means of gaining acceptance and approval in the workplace. Doublevoicing thus involves an interplay between power, gender and linguistic expertise.

Examples from Applied Linguistics and Educational Technology

SOCIOLINGUISTICS AND DISCOURSE The Language of Interstate Relations

Approaches to Language, Culture, and Cognition

In Search of Personification Piotr Twardzisz, University of Warsaw, Poland, In challenging the widely held belief in the ubiquity of the personification of the political state, this book strives to de-politicize research and to de-mystify conceptual metaphor.

The Intersection of Cognitive Linguistics and Linguistic Anthropology Edited by Masataka Yamaguchi, University of Queensland, Australia, Dennis Tay, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Benjamin Blount, University of Texas, San Antonio, USA Approaches to Language, Culture and Cognition aims to bring cognitive linguistics and linguistic anthropology closer together, calling for further investigations of language and culture from cognitively-informed perspectives against the backdrop of the current trend of linguistic anthropology.

LANGUAGE AND GLOBALIZATION Edited by Sue Wright, University of Portsmouth, UK and Helen Kelly-Holmes, University of Limerick, Ireland

Minority Language Promotion, Protection and Regulation The Mask of Piety Colin H Williams, School of Welsh, Cardiff University, UK "Professor Colin Williams is one of the world's leading scholars on lesser-used languages. In this book he brings to bear not only a vast store of empirical knowledge of the subject but a passionate plea and moral vision in defence of these languages..." - John Loughlin, University of Cambridge, UK This is an analysis of the promises and contradictions surrounding contemporary minority language policy. It draws on theoretical and real-world perspectives and interviews with key players within European institutions together with field work undertaken principally in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Canada.

Linguistic Minorities in Democratic Context Colin H Williams, School of Welsh, Cardiff University, UK "Linguistic Minorities in Democratic Context will undoubtedly quickly become a classic in language policy literature. It presents a finely-balanced account of principles in language management, and shows how these have worked out in the major cases of the Celtic languages, the Spanish autonomous regions, and Canada. The wealth of detail of legislative and bureaucratic activities balances the sensitive analysis of competing theories, and supports Williams' argument for a holistic approach to understanding sociolinguistic ecology." – Bernard Spolsky, Bar-Ilan University, Israel This blends discussion of the role of language minorities in politics with examples of language policy in a range of national contexts. It discusses minority rights and language protection, the policies of the state in privileging powerful majorities, the opportunities and challenges of both devolution and globalization.

Questions of Influence in Modern French Literature Edited by Thomas Baldwin, University of Kent, UK, James Fowler, University of Kent, UK, Ana de Medeiros, University of Kent, UK "Questions of Influence is a major contribution to, and updating of, our understanding of the ways in which 'influence' works not only in literature but also in other art-forms, and in relationships between these. Exploring 'influence' in a newly sophisticated way, the book draws on a wide range of European writers, artists and thinkers, and showcases numerous talented critics working at the cutting edge of their fields." – Alison Finch, Cambridge University, UK This collection engages with questions of influence, a vexed and problematic concept whose intellectual history is both ancient and vast. It examines a range of texts written in French, sometimes in dialogue with visual/musical works, drawn mainly from the eighteenth century onwards. Connections are made with related work in a range of disciplines. Contents: Introduction: Influence: Form, Subjects Time * 1. Voltaire, Dante and the Dynamics of Influence * 2.

Strategies of Representation in Auto/biography

Jean-Marc Dewaele, Department of Applied Linguistics and Communication, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK "The book is coherently organised and written in a way that makes it accessible not only to the readers interested in Applied Linguistics, Language Acquisition, Didactics and other fields related to language learning, but also to non-specialists...JeanMarc Dewaele has made a rewarding contribution to the studies of Applied Linguistics by designing a multidisciplinary study to enquire about the various languages of multilinguals. This can be considered the first large-scale project on the way in which multilinguals perceive their languages and how they use them in communicating both positive and negative emotions." - Amelia Huzum, Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics A large-scale investigation on how multilinguals feel about their languages and use them to communicate emotion. Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the author looks at the factors that affect multilinguals' self-perceived competence, attitudes, communicative anxiety, language choice and codeswitching.

In clear and lively prose that avoids jargon, the author carefully and systematically examines the many kinds of subtly nuanced words or word-pairs of everyday discourse such as 'and'-'but', 'before'-'ere', 'Chinese''Chink', and 'sweat'-'perspiration', that have proven resistant to truth-conditional explanations of meaning.

PRAGMATICS Thanking and Politeness in Japanese

Componential Analysis of Kinship Terminology

Balancing Acts in Interaction

A Computational Perspective

Jun Ohashi, The University of Melbourne, Australia

Vladimir Pericliev, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences

This book synthesizes previous work on thanking, politeness and Japanese pragmatics and crystallises the theoretical underpinnings of thanking, how it is realized linguistically and the social meaning and significance of this aspect of Japanese communication.

This book presents the first computer program automating the task of componential analysis of kinship vocabularies. The book examines the program in relation to two basic problems: the commonly occurring inconsistency of componential models; and the huge number of alternative componential models.

Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. Review of data elicitation methods * 3. Revealing patterns: Descriptive empirical norms (Studies 1 and 2) * 4. What Japanese native speakers actually do in thanking episodes in naturally occurring telephone conversations * 5. Implications of the studies in relation to teaching Japanese language and current debate on face and politeness

Michael Pace-Sigge, University of Eastern Finland This book shows that over forty years of psychological laboratory-based research support the claims of the Lexical Priming Theory. It examines how Lexical Priming applies to the use of spoken English as the book provides evidence that Lexical Priming is found in everyday spoken conversations.

GENERAL LINGUISTICS Multilingualism in Modernist Fiction

GENERAL LINGUISTICS

Juliette Taylor-Batty, Leeds Trinity & All Saints, UK

Humanities in the Twenty-First Century

This new study argues that modernist literature is characterised by a 'multilingual turn'. Examining the use of different languages in the fiction of a range of writers, including Lawrence, Richardson, Mansfield, Rhys, Joyce and Beckett, Taylor-Batty demonstrates the centrality of linguistic plurality to modernist forms of defamiliarisation.

Beyond Utility and Markets Edited by Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK, Anna Upchurch, University of Leeds, UK "The book is beautifully written and edited, allowing the reader to relax and enjoy the experience of following an intense, academic debate, whilst its hard, critical edge skewers economic triumphalism on its own inconsistencies. This makes Humanities in the 21st Century both a compelling call to humanities scholars to reclaim the public value debate, as well as setting a demanding standard for others wanting to participate in that debate." - Paul Benneworth, LSE Review of Books This collection of essays by scholars with expertise in a range of fields, cultural professionals and policy makers explores different ways in which the arts and humanities contribute to dealing with the challenges of contemporary society in ways that do not rely on simplistic and questionable notions of socio-economic impact as a proxy for value. Contents: PART I: THE HUMANITIES AND THEIR ‘IMPACT’ * PART II: UTILITY VS. VALUE * PART III: THE HUMANITIES AND INTERDISCIPLINARITY * PART IV: MEANING-MAKING AND THE MARKET * PART V: DIGITIZATION, ETHICS AND THE HUMANITIES July 2013 UK 272pp Hardback Paperback Canadian Rights

STYLISTICS Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction

STYLISTICS

The Event of Style in Literature Mario Aquilina, University of Malta, Malta The Event of Style in Literature brings discussions about the question of style up-to-date by schematising the principal issues relating to the topic through a critical overview of the canon of style studies. It reads the work of Jacques Derrida, Maurice Blanchot, and Hans-Georg Gadamer as groundbreaking and 'eventful' interventions. Contents: Acknowledgements * Introduction * 1. Traditional Theories of Style * 2. Gadamer and Style as Wor(l)d-Making * 3. Blanchot and the Anarchic Anachrony of Style * 4. Derrida and Counter-institutional Style * 5.

Daria Tunca, University of Liège, Belgium "In discussing both well-known and less familiar writers who belong to the 'post-Achebean' generation of Nigerian writing from the perspective of what she terms 'African stylistics', Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction fills a notable gap in research. This book is distinguished by the author's concern to relate stylistic analysis to social and cultural specificities, by her exemplary exposition of the theories to which she has recourse, and by an eloquent lightness of touch that makes reading her work a pleasure. Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction deserves recognition in the wider field of post-colonial writing." – Professor Geoffrey Davis, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Drawing on the discipline of stylistics, this book introduces a series of methodological tools and applies them to works by well-known Nigerian writers, including Abani, Adichie and Okri. In doing so, it demonstrates how attention to form fosters understanding of content in their work, as well as in African and postcolonial literatures more widely. Contents: Introduction * 1. Towards an ‘African Stylistics’? Historiographical and Methodological Considerations * 2. Of Palm Oil and Wafers: Characterization in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus * 3. ’The Other Half of the Sun’: Ideology in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun * 4.

Linguistic and Social Influences Affecting 'They' and 'He' Laura Paterson, University of Leeds, UK This study considers the use of they and he for generic reference in post-2000 written British English. The analysis is framed by a consideration of languageinternal factors, such as syntactic agreement, and language-external factors, which include traditional grammatical prescriptivism and the language reforms resulting from second-wave feminism.
