Current Approaches to Language Ideology and Metalinguistic Discourse
This collection brings together research on cutting-edge developments at the intersection of language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, showcasing the potential of diverse approaches.This book will appeal to students and scholars in applied linguistics, language and education, and sociolinguistics.
Ecolinguistics and Emplacement
This edited volume contributes to recent theoretical work in ecolinguistics that treats language as, not about nature, but of nature.Through a dialogical interplay of theoretical and empirical work, the chapters apply ecological concepts of language, languaging, and emplacement to a multiplicity of issues, settings, and place-worlds. Empirically, the chapters meander through a universe of chimpanzees engaged in problem solving, children playing marbles, political constitutions, agricultural dictionaries, Sicilian nature reserves, children's experiences of devastating outbreaks of foot and mouth disease, expressions of sorrow across closed borders, and the linguistic conquest of uninhabited islands. By attending to locale, sense of place, and location across this diversity, the volume evokes new empirical, methodological, and practical horizons that allow ecolinguists to ask how people and their emplacement are affected by language and languaging, and how the effects of practices impact on, not just human lifeworlds, but also trillions of bioecologies.This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in ecolinguistics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, language contact, environmental humanities, and human and social geography.
Trans-Speakerism
This pioneering exploration of trans- speakerism takes readers on a journey that redefines the foundations of language education discourse. This edited volume serves as a vital contribution--bringing together assorted empirical studies and discussions contributed by scholars with various linguistic backgrounds and scholarly experiences from around the world to confront and deconstruct the enduring influence of native-speakerism.At the heart of this work is the innovative concept of trans-speakerism, which moves beyond historical bifurcated markers for language speakers. Via the adoption of all-embracing terminology--global speakers of English (GSEs), global teachers of English (GTEs), and global Englishes researchers (GERs)--we propose a richer, more contextual understanding that shines a light on individual agency and multiplicity. This volume therefore stands out not only for its theoretical insights but also for its ability to inspire change. We demonstrate new ways to visualize entrenched power dynamics in language education by asserting the strengths and experiences of all practitioners and researchers, whilst honoring their multifaceted identities beyond reductive linguistic categorizations.Framing language education and its related fields through the prism of trans-speakerism unveils new possibilities for both practitioners and researchers to refurbish traditional hierarchies and herald a future of inclusive excellence.

Minority Languages and Cultures in Audiovisual Translation
This collection explores the range of approaches and frameworks used in the study of minority languages and cultures in audiovisual translation (AVT), encouraging interdisciplinary conversations toward fostering linguistic diversity on screen.The volume is organized around five parts, looking at examples from across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and China as well as issues around sign languages in AVT. Chapters explore innovative strategies in subtitling, dubbing, and fansubbing to address non-standard varieties, ethnolinguistic diversities, and multilingualism, among other key themes, across different forms of media. The volume also looks ahead to how the study and practice of AVT might be re-envisioned in relation to minority languages, societies, and cultures in the future.This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies, audiovisual translation, media accessibility, and media studies.
The Curse in the Territory
This study re-evaluates Manuel Mar穩a Madiedo's La maldici籀n (1859) beyond its traditional classification as costumbrista literature. Drawing on narratology, historical geography, and neobaroque aesthetics, the book explores how the novel engages with the cultural, racial, and territorial tensions of 19th-century Colombia. It situates the figure of the arrochelado and the region's libres de todos los colores at the heart of the national narrative, revealing submerged histories and alternative forms of habitation along the Magdalena River. Through narrative ambiguity, irony, and symbolic landscapes, Madiedo's work critiques liberal ideals and enacts a hybrid literary form that challenges hegemonic representations of space and identity. By uncovering these layers, the research contributes to broader discussions of subaltern agency, literary form, and the cultural construction of Colombian territory.
The Usage of Idioms in the Business World
Idioms are figurative expressions that convey meanings different from the literal interpretation of their individual words - such as "shoot yourself in the foot" or "let the cat out of the bag." They are deeply embedded in language and culture, acting as vivid communicative shortcuts that express complex ideas, emotions, or social norms. This workbook studies the origins of idioms, their cultural context, and linguistic application. However, there are thousands of idioms, and they vary from country to country. Therefore, this work was primarily designed to assist business students who use English as a second language (ESL) and specifically focuses on those idioms that are used in the business world. Idioms are not slang, and the difference between the two is comprehensively explained.The format of this workbook and reference guide consists of presenting the most common business idioms in alphabetical order, providing a definition for each, and then using the idiom in a sentence to create a contextual illustration.
Translation Challenges of International Lexis
Although the reasons for the integration of international (loan) words from one language into another have been extensively studied by numerous scholars and researchers, their translation-related challenges and comparative analysis across different languages have not been sufficiently explored. In particular, the role of international words in enhancing children's vocabulary remains understudied.This monograph aims to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the causes behind the assimilation of international words into other languages, analyze the major problems encountered in their translation, and highlight similarities and differences in their usage and interpretation within Russian, English, and Uzbek languages.The study's findings may be applied in academic lectures and seminars on translation studies, in the development of various textbooks and instructional manuals, as well as in practical research. Moreover, the results can serve as the basis for new methodologies to enhance vocabulary acquisition and be effectively integrated into the educational process.

Classical Rhetorical Argumentation for the Rhetorical Critic
This book offers a reassessment of argumentation in classical rhetoric, foregrounding its rational dimension. Moving beyond introductions, it provides insights from Aristotle, Quintilian, and other ancient thinkers while addressing common misconceptions and offering clarifications that are particularly valuable for the rhetorical critic.Adopting a Scandinavian rhetorical perspective, this book argues that classical rhetoric offers enduring tools for both the analysis and the construction of persuasive argumentation. By bridging theory and practice, it demonstrates how classical rhetoric remains highly relevant, while also naturally integrating with analyses that focus on classical concepts such as ethos, pathos, or style - whether through neo-Aristotelian methods or contemporary approaches rooted in the classical rhetorical tradition. Key concepts are explored in dedicated chapters: the 'art' of logos-based argumentation is reassessed; enthymeme and epicheireme structures are examined; and topoi and staseis are discussed in relation to their later developments. A chapter on the centenary of rhetorical criticism traces its evolution from Herbert Wichelns (1925) to today, proposing a new template for the rhetorical critic.This concise yet comprehensive book will interest intermediate and advanced students, as well as scholars of rhetoric, argumentation, persuasion, speech and writing studies, and communication studies.
Statistical Computing Using C&R
The world of programming is constantly evolving, yet the foundational languages remain timeless. This book, C & R, is designed to introduce students to the powerful combination of two essential programming languages: C and R. The language C has stood the test of time as the backbone of system programming and serves as the starting point for millions of programmers around the world. Its structured approach, efficiency, and simplicity make it a perfect language to build a solid foundation in logic and programming skills. On the other hand, R is an emerging star in the field of statistical computing and data science. With the increasing demand for data-driven decision making, the knowledge of R is essential for modern learners who want to analyze, visualize, and draw insights from complex datasets. This book bridges the gap between system programming and data analytics by carefully blending C programming fundamentals with practical R programming applications. Starting from the very basics, the book progresses systematically through decision making, looping structures, user-defined functions, and data handling concepts in both C and R languages.

"Said Without Saying"
"Said Without Saying: Indirect Speech Acts in Indian Fiction" is an insightful exploration into the subtle power of language and meaning in literature, focusing on two profound Indian novels - Fasting, Feasting by Anita Desai and A Matter of Time by Shashi Deshpande. This book delves into the intricate world of indirect speech acts to uncover how what is left unsaid often reveals more than what is explicitly stated. It offers a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue between linguistics, pragmatics, and literary studies.At its core, this work is a study in pragmatics, the branch of linguistics concerned with how context influences the interpretation of meaning. Within this framework, indirect speech acts - utterances where the speaker's intended meaning differs from the literal expression - serve as powerful tools of character development, conflict, irony, and social commentary. When characters say one thing and mean another, they mirror the complexities of real human communication, especially in cultures where restraint, indirectness, and layered discourse are embedded in social interaction.
A Psycholinguistic Perspective on the Impact of Attention Deficit
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which tends to affect academic performance and language development. This study investigates the impact of ADHD on the academic and communicative abilities of early primary school children. It also takes into consideration how teachers recognize and manage such problems in real classroom situations. The study uses a multi-method approach, including unplanned observations of six children at the psychiatry, structured classroom observations of 17 children, semi-structured interviews with four speech therapists, and 35 questionnaire responses from psychologists and psychiatrists. Additionally, 196 primary school teachers completed a questionnaire. The study also includes a comparison of four handwriting samples of children with ADHD and their peers to look for possible psycholinguistic and motor differences. The results show that ADHD significantly affects attention, working memory, and expressive language, which disrupts children's ability to follow instructions, memorize, and communicate efficiently.
