Phonological Drift and Language Contact
Several language families of northern Europe - Germanic, Celtic, and Uralic - share phonetic and phonological patterns that are typologically unusual. This book demonstrates how we can better understand these convergences: they exemplify the phenomenon of drift. Using the latest advances in theoretical linguistics, the study of sound change, and language variation, it offers insights into the development of these features and what they tell us about past cultural and linguistic contacts. Although the languages are not closely related, an understanding of drift grounded in the theory of the life cycle of phonological patterns reveals the workings of convergent developments. Covering a wide range of vernacular varieties, this book shows how phonological microvariation is illuminated by an approach grounded in the theory of the life cycle and historical sociolinguistics. It is essential reading for historical and theoretical linguists, and anyone with an interest in the cultural and linguistic contacts across northern Europe.

Grammarians before Panini had named these Secondary Roots as carkarīta Roots. So Panini placed this word carkarīta here to indicate that the Ashtadhyayi Sutra 2.4.72 adiprabhṛtibhyaḥ śapaḥ applies to such yaṅluganta Roots. Even though it is a Ganasutra and not a Dhatusutra, still the Siddhanta Kaumudi has given it a Dhatu Number !1082 hnuṅ apanayane-----1617 vraja mārgasaṃskāragatyoḥ1618 mārga saṃskāragatyoḥ । In Siddhanta Kaumudi this is listed as a separate Root. However in standard Dhatupathas, including Madhaviya Dhatuvritti it is not distinct. Already a distinct Root 1846 mārga anveṣaṇe is present in Dhatupatha. Here Root 1618 onwards Dhatu Serial Number differs by 1 from Siddhanta Kaumudi.1618 śulka atisparśane------1895 keta śrāvaṇe nimantraṇe caIn Siddhanta Kaumudi keta śrāvaṇe is mentioned but not numbered.

The Pragmatics of Multiword Terms
This book explores the pragmatics of specialized language with a focus on multiword terms, complex phrases characterized by sequences of nouns or adjectives whose meaning is clarified in the unspecified but implicit links between them, with implications for their use and translation.The volume adopts an innovative approach rooted in Frame-Based Terminology which allows for the analysis of multiword - compound terms in specialized language, such as horizontal-axis wind turbine - term formation from an integrated semantic and pragmatic perspective. The book features data from a corpus on wind power in English, Spanish, and French comprising such specialized texts as research articles, books, reports, and PhD theses to consider term extraction and the identification of terminological correspondences. Cabezas-Garc穩a highlights the ways in which pragmatic analysis is an integral part of understanding multiword terms, due to the necessary inference of information implicit within them, with applications for future research on pragmatics and specialized language more broadly.This book will be of interest to students and researchers in pragmatics, semantics, corpus linguistics, and terminology.
Rebel with a Clause
NATIONAL BESTSELLER "A fresh and democratic take on language by a gifted teacher." --Mary Norris"[Jovin] never hectors, never finger-points; she enlightens and illuminates. This is lovely work." --Benjamin DreyerAn unconventional guide to the English language following the adventures of a grammar guru's pop-up advice stand on an epic road trip across all 50 states.When Ellen Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment building and set up a folding table with a GRAMMAR TABLE sign, it took about thirty seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. Grammar Table was such a hit--attracting the attention of the New York Times, NPR, and CBS Evening News--that Jovin soon took it on the road, traveling across the US to answer questions from writers, lawyers, editors, businesspeople, students, bickering couples, and anyone else who uses words in this world.In Rebel with a Clause, Jovin tackles what is most on people's minds, grammatically speaking--from the Oxford comma to the places prepositions can go, the likely lifespan of whom, semicolonphobia, and more.Punctuated with linguistic debates from tiny towns to our largest cities, this grammar romp will delight anyone wishing to polish their prose or revel in our age-old, universal fascination with language.

Unpacking Metaphor-related Prepositions in Political Discourse
Polysemous Particles in Ancient Greek
Anyone reading an Ancient Greek text will notice the abundance of pragmatic particles (e.g. ἄρα, γάρ, γε, δέ, δή, μέν, μήν, οὖν), a much-debated and challenging class of expressions. What are their semantic contributions, and how should we account for their notorious polyfunctionality? In this book, Kees Thijs provides a state of the art of modern particle theory, which he then applies to two of the most versatile Greek particles, μήν and δή. Using a diachronically oriented polysemy approach and a large-scale, varied research corpus, Thijs offers a new, unified account that significantly improves on both traditional handbooks (e.g. Denniston) and more recent particle studies.
Prolepsis in Ancient Greek Narrative
This edited volume offers the first comprehensive study of prolepsis in narratives written in ancient Greek, ranging from Homer to the late antique author Colluthus, with the inclusion of Second Temple Jewish Literature. Structuralist narratology defines prolepsis as the narration in advance of an event that takes place later in the story. The papers collected in this volume start from this approach, but move beyond it by exploring a wide range of new definitions, forms and readerly effects of prolepsis. Several contributions draw on postclassical narratological approaches and focus on cognitive aspects of reading, narrative virtuality, and readerly (un)certainty that stems from prolepses.

Understanding Phonology
Understanding Phonology, Fifth Edition, provides a clear, accessible and broad introduction to phonology. Introducing basic concepts, it provides a comprehensive account of phonological topics like segmental contrasts; syllables and moras; quantity; tone and intonation; word stress; and prosodic constituent structure.
The Phonetics of Taiwanese
Taiwanese, formerly the lingua franca of Taiwan and currently the second largest language on the island, is genealogically related to Min from the Sino-Tibetan family. Throughout history, it has been influenced by many languages, but only Mandarin has exerted heavy influences on its phonological system. This Element provides an overview of the sound inventory in mainstream Taiwanese, and details its major dialectal differences. In addition, the Element introduces speech materials that could be used for studying the phonetics of Taiwanese, including datasets from both read and spontaneous speech. Based on the data, this Element provides an analysis of Taiwanese phonetics, covering phenomena in consonants, vowels, tones, syllables, and prosody. Some of the results are in line with previous studies, while others imply potential new directions in which the language might be analyzed and might evolve. The Element ends with suggestions for future research lines for the phonetics of the language.

Death-related Intensifiers in the History of English; Grammaticalisation and Related Phenomena
An all-important question for humans, death is unsurprisingly used as a source of intensification in language, perhaps even cross-linguistically. This book explores the use of death for intensification purposes in English and aims to shed light on how certain forms from this semantic field came to be used with an intensifying function over time, specifically dead(ly), mortal(ly) and to death. The author provides a full account of the evolution of these intensifiers from their origins up to present-day English from the perspective of grammaticalisation and other concomitant phenomena. To this end, this corpus-based research resorts to evidence from historical dictionaries, diachronic corpora and electronic collections. The study conducted, unprecedented in the number of examples analysed, combines both a qualitative and a quantitative approach to provide the most comprehensive picture of the long diachrony of these intensifiers.
Errors of Grammar
This definitive guide tackles some of the most persistent and egregious errors in English grammar that continue to plague both writers and speakers. Drawing on nearly two decades of meticulous observation, author Roger Challoner Green has compiled the mistakes he sees made most frequently, despite many having already worked their way into accepted modern usage. Unlike English grammar guides that focus on teaching rules, this book concentrates specifically on calling out misuse. The author doesn't argue scholarly grammar but instead appeals to longstanding conventions and preservation of the highest literary standards. Areas of particular concern covered include subject-verb agreement, adjective-noun agreement, dangling participles, and illogical comparisons among them. While acknowledging that language evolves, the author maintains firm views on upholding established guidelines. This guide book will resonate with readers frustrated by the increasing abandonment of good grammar and looking to bolster their own skills. Both informative and droll, Common English Grammar Mistakes serves as an essential tool for writers, editors, and language mavens alike.
Prosodic Phrase in Spoken Czech
Concise and accessible, this monograph fills a gap in Czech language study with its compelling look into the prosodic phrase. The prosodic phrase is a crucial element in the sound structure of the Czech language, though oft overlooked. The properties of prosodic phrases, such as stress, intonation, and tonal pattern, show typical characteristics of prose. Prosodic Phrase in Spoken Czech provides a source for this missing information in an approachable format for all manner of readers. The core of the study draws on authentic speech material--storytelling, news reading, and poetry recitation--where prosodic phrases are analyzed in terms of their phonetic structure, acoustic characteristics, and associated syntactic features. Supported by the presentation of original perception experiments, this monograph delves into the perceptual significance of prosodic phrasing. Beyond offering intriguing insights into this core aspect of prosodic structure, it serves as a valuable resource for designing future experiments in natural language processing.
Control
This Elements presents the major findings and theoretical advances in the area of Control. We describe the different types of control (complement, adjunct, obligatory, nonobligatory) and illustrate their profiles in several languages. It is shown that while certain features of Obligatory Control (OC) are common - nullness of PRO, nonfinite complements - they are not universal, hence should not enter its core definition. Comparing approaches to the choice of controller based on lexical meaning postulates with those based on embedding of speech acts, we conclude that the latter provide deeper insights into the core properties of OC. The fundamental semantic distinction between clauses denoting a property and those denoting a proposition proves to be important: It affects both the possibility of Partial Control in complements and the possibility of Non Obligatory Control in adjuncts. These insights are integrated in the Two-Tiered Theory of Control, laid out in the final sections.

Mechanically Inclined
Some teachers love grammar and some hate it, but nearly all struggle to find ways of making the mechanics of English meaningful to kids. As a middle school teacher, Jeff Anderson also discovered that his students were not grasping the basics, and that it was preventing them from reaching their potential as writers. Jeff readily admits, "I am not a grammarian, nor am I punctilious about anything," so he began researching and testing the ideas of scores of grammar experts in his classroom, gradually finding successful ways of integrating grammar instruction into writer's workshop.Just in time for its 20th anniversary, this long awaited second edition of Mechanically Inclined continues to merge the best of writer's workshop elements with relevant theory about how and why skills should be taught. It connects theory about using grammar in context with practical instructional strategies, explains why kids often don't understand or apply grammar and mechanics correctly, focuses on attending to the "high payoff," or most common errors in student writing, and shows how to carefully construct a workshop environment that can best support grammar and mechanics concepts. In this new edition, longtime colleague, Lisa Thibodeaux joins Jeff in emphasizing four key elements for grammar instruction: short daily instruction in grammar and mechanics within writer's workshop; using high-quality mentor texts to teach grammar and mechanics in context; visual scaffolds, including wall charts, and visual cues that can be pasted into writer's notebooks; regular, short routines, like "express-lane edits," that help students spot and correct errors automatically. Comprising an overview of the research-based context for grammar instruction, a series of over forty detailed lessons, updated research, compelling new mentor texts, and an appendix of helpful forms and instructional tools, Mechanically Inclined is a boon to teachers regardless of their level of grammar-phobia. It shifts the negative, rule-plagued emphasis of much grammar instruction into one which celebrates the power and beauty these tools have in shaping all forms of writing.
The Phonology of Turkish
This book offers a comprehensive account of the phonological structure of modern Turkish within the framework of recent linguistic models. While phenomena at both the segmental and suprasegmental levels are discussed, the emphasis is on the latter, with analysis of phonological processes that extend over a number of different domains. Lower-level prosodic constituents, including syllables, feet, and prosodic words, are incorporated into a general theory alongside higher-level constituents - the phonological phrase and the intonational phrase - on the assumption that phonological structure is hierarchical in nature and that phonological representations consist of more than a single linear sequence of segments. The approach employed here draws on theories of both representation - Prosodic Phonology and Autosegmental Phonology - and computation, in the form of Optimality Theory. An overarching theme that emerges in every chapter is that not only regular but also apparently "exceptional" phonological forms demonstrate a systematic pattern, and that both can be captured by the same grammar. The volume provides a critical synthesis of research in Turkish phonology, as well as offering new analyses and data from a theoretically-oriented perspective.
An Introduction to Forensic Phonetics and Forensic Linguistics
This textbook provides a practical introduction to the fields of forensic phonetics and forensic linguistics. Addressing how these fields are both distinct yet closely related, the book demonstrates how experts from both fields can work together to investigate and deliver justice in complex legal situations.
Dhatupatha Sanskrit Roots Indexes
Construction of Verbs by Conjugation using Roots from the Dhatupatha is one of the most complex and involved processes in Sanskrit Grammar. It has been coded by the great grammarian Panini in an in a beautifully amazing way through the core texts, viz. The Dathupatha of Panini, The Ashtadhyayi of Panini and The Maheswar Sutras. This book hopes to lay the coding methodology threadbare in a lucid manner for avid learners of the language, including Sanskrit scholars and Vyakarana pundits.Root + Vikarana Affix + Ting Affix = Verb, whereRoots have two major attributes, i. P A U attribute ii. सेट् अनिट् वेट् attribute.Vikarana affixes are of two types, i. Gana Vikarana Affix and ii. Vikarana Affix.A Vikarana Affix may be Sarvadhatuka or Ardhadhatuka. This affects Guna/Vriddhi.Ting affixes are of two types, i. Parasmaipada Ting Affix and ii. Atmanepada Ting Affix.Further, a Parasmaipada Ting Affix may be Sarvadhatuka or Ardhadhatuka. Similarly, an Atmanepada Ting Affix may be Sarvadhatuka or Ardhadhatuka. This affects Guna/Vriddhi.A Sarvadhatuka Ting Affix is of two types, पित् or अपित् that also affects Guna/Vriddhi.Notes: Any affix whether Vikarana or Ting is further of two types, i. Consonant beginning or ii. Vowel beginning.Additionally, Affix modifiers may also be employed.Similarly, Root modifiers may also be employed.Each Root may have a Tag Letter, that is simply a marker to serve a specific purpose and then gets dropped.Each Affix may have a Tag Letter, that is simply a marker to serve a specific purpose and then gets dropped.Dropping or Elision of certain parts of Root or Affix in certain cases.Of utmost importance is understanding that the Tenses and Moods in Sanskrit Grammar (Present Tense, Past Tense, etc.) are coded in terminations known as Ting Affixes. These Ting Affixes are of two basic types: Parasmaipada and Atmanepada, and these will only join a Root having the same attribute of Parasmaipada or Atmanepada.The Ubhayepada Ting Affixes are simply a combination of the two, so Roots that are Ubhayepada will invariably be grouped under Parasmaipada and Atmanepada both.Major Concepts include: The Ten Tenses and Moods that reflect the Verb usage.Grouping of Roots in ten Ganas for Sarvadhatuka Ting Affixes.Tag Letters and their interpretation.Guna/Vriddhi of Vowels (whether of a Root or an Affix).Use of इट् augment.Correct use of Sarvadhatuka/Ardhadhatuka Affixes.This books has been designed to look at all these grammatical concepts from the Root-point-of-View. It contains exhaustive lists of Roots that behave in a specific manner during Verb construction. Indexes and collections are based on the Dhatu Serial Number, which is unique and easily referenced in standard Dhatupathas, including Siddhanta Kaumudi. Hence locating any Root is a snap.So this book will primarily be used as a supplemental text for any standard text on Sanskrit Grammar. On its own also it can prove to be immensely useful if one wishes to master the Dhatupatha of Panini.

Coordination Structures in Old and Middle High German
Based on the quantitative analysis of a large corpus of Old and Middle High German prose texts, this volume provides a first extensive overview on the syntactic properties of coordination structures featuring the coordinators inti/und and joh in Old and Middle High German and discusses potential analyses in a generative framework. After introducing the main properties of coordination structures in Modern Standard German in Chapters 1 and 2, the results of the corpus study are presented in Chapters 3-6. Chapter 3 focuses on the coordinators inti/und and joh, showing that coordination structures with both coordinators already exhibit the same characteristic types of ellipsis as well as the same parallelism of the conjuncts as their Modern Standard German counterparts. Chapters 4-6 each discuss one major aspect of diachronic change: verbal agreement with conjoined subject-NPs (Chapter 4), the conditions regarding the omission of referential subject-pronouns in clausal or verbal coordination structures (Chapter 5) and so-called 'inversion after und' (Chapter 6). The volume thus provides a deeper understanding of the syntax of coordination structures in both a synchronic and diachronic perspective for researchers and students.
Selected Essays on Turkish Linguistics
Selected Essays on Turkish Linguistics includes 19 papers, which were presented at the 20th International Conference on Turkish Linguistics, held by Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkiye, August 2-4, 2021. The contributions were selected through blind reviewing process and each article was evaluated by two experts to ensure the quality of the studies. The volume comprises 340 pages, 2 illustrations, 30 diagrams and 54 tables and the contributions cover various areas of linguistics such as semantics, phonology, morphology, pragmatics, discourse, corpus linguistics, language acquisition, bilingualism and language disorders. Although most of the articles focus on the linguistic aspects of Turkish language, there are also studies which focus on Turkic languages like Kazakh and Kyrgyz and dialects such as Cypriot Turkish. This book will be of interest to linguists who want to learn about specific issues relating to Turkish and Turkic languages, as well as to readers who would like to understand more about first and second language acquisition and language disorders.
Effects of Orthography on Second Language Phonology
This is the first book devoted to the effects of orthographic forms (spellings) on second language phonology.
New Perspectives on English Word Stress
New Perspectives on English Word Stress explores the mechanism of word stress assignment in contemporary English from different methodological and theoretical perspectives. Comprising nine chapters, these approaches include a historical overview of the study of stress; the relationship between historic changes in stress and meaning; the relationship between spelling and stress; syllable weight and stress; the theoretical treatment of exceptions; stress mechanisms in Australian English; and stress in Singapore English. The book presents new data and provides the reader with access to various approaches to English word stress in phonology.
Second Language Pronunciation
In the field of second language (L2) acquisition, the number of studies focusing on L2 pronunciation instruction and perceptual/production training has increased as new classroom methodologies have been proposed and new goals for L2 pronunciation have been set. This book brings together different approaches to L2 pronunciation research in the classroom or in the language laboratory. 13 chapters, written by well-known researchers focusing on a variety of first and target languages, are divided into four parts: Pronunciation development and intelligibility: implications for teaching and training studies; L2 pronunciation teaching; L2 pronunciation training: implications for the classroom; and Pronunciation in the laboratory: High Variability Phonetic Training. Intended for researchers in the fields of second language acquisition, phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics, speech therapies, speech technology, as well as second language teaching, this book not only summarizes the current research questions on L2 pronunciation teaching and training, but also predicts future scenarios for both researchers and practitioners in the field.
Segmental Structure and Representations
Representing Phonological DetailPart I: Segmental Structure and RepresentationsPart II: Syllable, Stress and Sign Part I of Representing Phonological Detail focuses on the latest phonological research on a range of issues. The first main theme in this volume is vowel representation, with special attention paid to topics such as vowel harmony and other vocalic processes (e.g., historical umlaut, vowel epenthesis, and the representation of vowel quality and height). The second main theme is consonant representation and consonantal processes (including laryngeal phonology and stop insertion). Finally, the acquisition of phonology and the interface between phonology and morphosyntax are examined, attending in particular to boundary symbols, morphological blends, and the status of recursion in phonology and syntax.
Syllable, Stress, and Sign
Representing Phonological DetailPart I: Segmental Structure and RepresentationsPart II: Syllable, Stress and Sign Part II of Representing Phonological Detail focuses on the latest phonological research on suprasegmental structure and sign language. The first main theme in this volume is syllable structure, touching on phonotactics, syllabification, gemination, syllable weight, diphthongization, and other rules. The other main theme is tone and stress, including issues in data collection, the assignment of primary and secondary stress, resolution of stress clashes, lexical accent, and syntax-tone interaction. The final section is on sign language, with special attention paid to iconicity, phonological processes, and the relation between phonetic and phonological representation.
