Echoes of Empire
This book explores the persistent colonial themes in Mulk Raj Anand's major novels-Untouchable, Coolie, Two Leaves and a Bud, The Big Heart, and Death of a Hero. These works unveil the brutal realities of British Imperialism and its dehumanizing impact on India's marginalized: the oppressed castes, bonded labourers, women, and colonial soldiers. Anand's Death of a Hero, in particular, offers a poignant portrayal of an Indian soldier used and discarded by the British army, exposing the psychological toll of colonial wars and the betrayal of nationalist aspirations. Across his fiction, Anand critiques systemic exploitation, caste and class oppression, and the complicity of Indians who adopted colonial values for personal gain. Influenced by Gandhian ideals, Marxist thought, and personal grief, Anand gives voice to the silenced. Through his realistic and humanistic lens, his novels become a powerful reflection of India's colonial struggle and its enduring echoes.

The New Voice of God
For Christian European missionaries among the Cherokees at the turn of the eighteenth century, translating the Bible meant wrestling with the extreme structural differences between Cherokee and English. The New Voice of God reveals how these linguistic differences encoded basic predispositions and orientations toward the physical, spiritual, and social worlds--and how their translation in turn encodes the profound linguistic and cultural exchange manifested in the making of the Cherokee Bible. While the introduction of Christianity shaped Cherokee communicative practices and culture, the Cherokee language also reshaped the Bible to reflect a definitive Native worldview. Focusing on three books of the Cherokee Bible--Genesis, John, and Matthew--Margaret Bender and Thomas N. Belt demonstrate how Christianity, written in and on Cherokee terms, can be uniquely and distinctly Cherokee, while remaining undeniably Christian. For example, Cherokee's rich and complex grammar work against English's noun-centeredness, yielding creative approximations of European objects as conditions and essences as events. Cherokee's radically different pronoun structure includes the reader in Biblical conversation in surprising ways. The authors also explain the relevance of the Cherokee Indigenous writing system--invented by Sequoyah, a non-Christian native speaker--to the complex spiritual landscape of the nineteenth century. Their analysis suggests that the Cherokee Bible records this cross-cultural encounter at a deep philosophical level, providing evidence that microlinguistic detail powerfully and intricately reflects macrosociological phenomena. In showing how Cherokee Christians ingeniously adapted Christian practices to create unique social and spiritual identities, The New Voice of God documents how this adaptation--manifest in the translation of Christian texts into Cherokee--not only bridged two vastly different languages but also exposed deep philosophical differences, challenging Western cultural norms and reshaping spiritual discourse.

Systems of Social Action
In Systems of Social Action, author Giovanni Rossi argues that everyday cooperation relies on a system of social action, where the communicative tools that a culture provides to get others to do things are organized into a coherent array of interdependent practices. These practices range from directives like "Bring me a knife!" to questions like "Can you take over for me?" to nonverbal cues like pointing to or reaching out for an object. Rossi demonstrates that the use of request practices in informal settings is not determined by sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals involved such as age or gender, nor by the structural distance or power dynamics associated with those characteristics. Instead, the crafting of everyday requests is sensitive to the dynamic, situational needs of social interaction: distinguishing between individual and shared goals, seeking assistance in the face of resistance, navigating prerequisites for object exchange, and orchestrating collective agency. Based on an extensive study of real-life interactions among speakers of Italian, Rossi shows that requesting is more than just asking: it is a nuanced form of social influence that shapes and maintains relationships. These analyses drive his intervention in broader theories of social action. The case of requesting in Italian forms the empirical basis for a deeper understanding of systems of social action practices.

Fillers
Fillers are non-silent linguistic devices used in disfluencies to gain time while searching for words. In addition, they are frequently used intentionally to avoid words for reasons of politeness, 'conspirational' motivations, or rhetorical purposes. Two syntactically distinct types of conventionalized fillers can be distinguished: placeholders and hesitatives (also called hesitators). Placeholders are referential and morphosyntactically integrated, while hesitatives are neither. Strikingly, even though fillers are cross-linguistically widespread, dedicated studies of such items in particular languages are still largely lacking. This collective volume comprises in-depth descriptions of conventionalized fillers in a substantial variety of languages from Eurasia, Papunesia, Australia, and the Americas, hoping to stimulate typological research on fillers, both hesitatives and placeholders. The book aims to contribute to a better visibility of the topic among general linguists, to make data and analyses accessible that will be useful for further typological studies on the topic, and to provide models for descriptive linguists. The introductory chapter discusses issues emerging from the previous literature and offers a new typology of fillers. It also highlights the major findings of the eleven remaining chapters. Each of these contains a detailed and typologically informed analysis of fillers in one or several underdescribed languages, based on corpora of natural speech and focusing on lexical fillers rather than on phenomena below the word-level (phonetic lengthening, truncation) or above the word-level (such as idioms and discourse markers like 'you know', or rhetorical questions like 'what's the word for that?'). The chapters cover a large amount of diversity, both in terms of languages and with respect to the type of filler. They focus on (i) the criteria for identification of the various types of fillers and the terminology used, keeping in mind that the domain is
