Clinical Linguistics Edited and with a new introduction by Thomas W. Powell, Louisiana State University, USA and Martin J. Ball, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Linguistics Clinical Linguistics involves the application of linguistic theories and procedures to the study, characterization, and treatment of communicative disorders. Although linguists have long applied their science to a variety of language problems, Clinical Linguistics did not emerge as an autonomous discipline until the publication of Crystal’s influential Clinical Linguistics in 1981. Despite its youth, this specialist area has quickly evolved into a highly productive field of inquiry. From its inception, Clinical Linguistics has had a strong international presence. The field is interdisciplinary, with relevance to theoretical and applied linguistics, speech and language therapy, psychology, and education.

Edited and with a new introduction by Philip Hubbard, Stanford University, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Linguistics Although the early promise of computer-assisted language learning (or ‘CALL’), to revolutionize second-language learning has not been met, the past quarter century has seen a fascinating range of growth. This is not only because of lessons learned from research and practice, but also due to the rapid and continuing shifts in the technology itself. This new four-volume title from Routledge will allow ’CALL’ practitioners, researchers, and students to easily access the best and most influential foundational and cutting-edge scholarship. There is also a comprehensive introduction to critical concepts in ’CALL’ for applied linguists and language educators interested in the growing role of technology in second-language acquisition.

This six-volume collection offers a comprehensive survey of this burgeoning field, its accumulated findings and proposed theories, its developed research paradigms, and its pending questions for the future. Including both classical and cutting-edge research, the collected materials offer a cogent and nuanced panoramic of the past, present, and future of second-language acquisition research.

The field of endangered languages and language documentation research and practice is a growing one with new programmes having been established in Europe, Australia and the US recently, and new initiatives planned for the future. This is one area of the humanities that has attracted the largest grant support in the world from Volkswagen Foundation, NSF-NEH and Lisbet Rausing Charitable Fund, amounting to several million pounds in total annually. A whole new generation of students and researchers is being trained in the field and they will want to read and refer to this unique collection of articles. There is no existing collection of papers with this range of coverage. Selected Contents: Volume I: Language Ecology and Endangered Languages 1. Language Ecology and Endangerment 2.

Historical Linguistics
Metaphor and Figurative Language
Edited and with a new introduction by Brian D. Joseph and Hope Dawson, both at Ohio State University, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Linguistics
Edited and with a new introduction by Patrick Hanks, Charles University, Czech Republic and Rachel Giora, Tel Aviv University, Israel Series: Critical Concepts in Linguistics
Historical linguistics is that area of the study of language concerned with the way languages change over time, looking both at the distant past and at the present day, and taking as its point of departure the truism that the only constant in language is that it is always changing. Historical linguistics is also the area of linguistics that placed the field on a scientific footing in the nineteenth century, through the recognition of regularities in language change that allowed for the reconstruction of the prehistory of many languages.
With contributions from Aristotle to Lakoff and Johnson, and incorporating the work of philosophers, linguists, literary theorists, and cognitive psychologists, this wide-ranging and multidisciplinary six-volume collection on metaphor and figurative language is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Linguistics series.

Semiotics (the study of sign processes—‘semiosis’—and sign systems) embraces linguistics, philosophy, and literary studies, as well as linking to anthropology, art, psychology, and biology. This new Routledge collection helps to make sense of the huge interdisciplinary corpus of scholarly literature and brings together the best and most influential materials from ‘the first phase’, neo-classics from the institutionalization of semiotics in the 1960s, and contemporary works illustrating the ongoing development of semiotics and its widening applications (for example, in the natural sciences). Volume One (‘Philosophy’) collects pre-modern material showing the genesis of semiotics from Locke to Peirce, along with a range of work from the last thirty years. Volumes Two and Three focus on ‘Linguistics and Literary Theory’ and include key work from recent developments in cognitive linguistics and cognitive semantics. Finally, Volume Four (‘Psychology, Biology, Anthropology’) gathers the best offerings from other disciplines, and from emerging fields such as ‘biosemiotics’.

Anthropological Linguistics Theories and Practices
Edited and with a new introduction by Bambi Schieffelin, New York University, USA and Paul Garrett, Temple University, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Language Studies Viewing language as a dynamic semiotic system that shapes and is shaped by cultural, social and cognitive factors alike, the articles in this new Major Work from Routledge explore how people in communities worldwide think about language, talk about language, use language, and change language. The articles illustrate the ways in which language practices—spoken, written, and signed—are resources that participants use for creating social worlds and accomplishing a wide range of activities within those worlds. Furthermore, they demonstrate how analysts use linguistic and cultural practices, and the ideologies that shape them, to provide insights into the complexities of everyday, as well as less commonly occurring, social encounters.
This second edition features over fifty of the world’s languages and the language families. The featured languages have been chosen based on the number of speakers, their role as official languages and their cultural and historical importance. Each language is looked at in depth, and the chapters provide information on both grammatical features and on salient features of the language’s history and cultural role. This second edition has been updated and revised. Two new languages, Amharic and Javanese, have been included.
