The Psycholinguistics of Words, Sentences and Discourse
The Psycholinguistics of Words, Sentences and Discourse introduces the way words, sentences and discourse live in the mind. Actual language use is about putting together words into syntactic frames that make sense in a specific context. This book provides an overview of the many mental processes involved in that.
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.
Word-Formation - Semantics and Pragmatics
This reader is part of a five-volume-edition and comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. Volume 3 places its emphasis on the semantic models and pragmatic features of complex words.
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

Modelling the Energy Transition
This open access book reconfigures Energy Transition as a global discourse from a multidisciplinary perspective. Energy Transition is not only one of the most daring technological endeavours of the present, it is also its new master narrative. Focusing on modelling both as a cultural technique and as a strategy of innovation, the chapters provided in this volume throw into relief the visions, but also the blind spots of modelling the challenges of climate change. Thus, in a rare encounter, major voices from the Sciences and the Humanities, from Energy Systems Design, Mechanical Engineering, Theory of Science, Science and Technology Studies, Literary Studies and the Arts, have gathered here to overcome the cultural divide between the technological and the societal dimensions of this global task. In doing so, they offer a new form of model criticism, pointing to the impacts of what may be termed the 'Energy Imaginary' on the technosocial mindsets of our time.
The Nature of the Poetical Image and Its Interpretation
This monograph is devoted to a deep analysis of the nature of the poetic image in the context of modern Uzbek poetry. It covers the aesthetic, semantic, symbolic and psychological layers of the poetic image on a scientific and theoretical basis. The work analyzes the structures of images such as metaphor, symbol and detail, their harmony in the poet's thinking and their place in the poetic text. In particular, based on the poems of such creators as Ravshan Fayz, A'zam Oktam, Chori Avaz, Nazar Shukur, the individual, spiritual, philosophical and aesthetic load of the image is revealed. The mechanism of activity of the poetic image in the reader's thinking and aesthetic perception is explained, the need to study it as a form of aesthetic communication is emphasized. The monograph reveals the inextricable connection between poetic thinking, image and personality, and the poetic image is interpreted as not only an artistic tool in the text, but also an artistic embodiment of the poet's spiritual world and the field of observation in the reader's mind.
Minority Language Media

Throughout, the guide stresses originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to teaching-learning contexts.
Narratives of Immigration in the EU
This book examines the representation of migrants and the European Union (EU) in the Romanian and British press, adopting a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to analyse a corpus of newspaper articles published between 1st January 2006 and 31st December 2018. The analysis reveals that through conceptual metaphors, migrants were likened to objects, ships, illegal goods, waves, flows, liquids, invaders, enemies and threats. The key themes identified in the analysis are the quantification and the 'otherisation' of migrants, as well as their portrayal as economic burdens or invaders in their destination countries. With regard to the EU, the author explores how both countries' memberships have followed different trajectories than those of other member states, ever since their accession to the EU bloc. The novelty of this research lies in the diachronic comparison of the representations of migrants and the European Union in Romania, a country characterised by emigration, versus the United Kingdom, a country characterised by immigration. This volume will be of interest to academics and students concerned with issues to do with migration and the EU, including those in fields such as political communication, migration policy, sociology of migration, and the language of media.
Indo-European Ecologies
This volume brings together scholars from different fields, exploring how early Indo-European communities understood and mythologized their natural and social environments. From sacred cattle and milk rituals to the chthonic symbolism of serpents and the mythological periphery of water, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers deep-rooted ecological imaginaries embedded in language, archaeology, and comparative mythology. With contributions spanning from the Indo-Iranian plains to the Baltic forests, the book reveals how beliefs about animals, agriculture and the household shaped Indo-European worldviews.Rich in detail and accessible in style, Indo-European Ecologies offers new perspectives for scholars and curious readers alike. It is the second volume in the book series Stockholm Studies in Indo-European Language and Culture.

The Interaction Engine
Communicative interaction forms the core of human experience. In this fascinating book Levinson, one of the world's leading scholars in the field, explores how human communicative interaction is structured, the demands it puts on our cognitive processing, and how its system evolved out of continuities with other primate systems. It celebrates the role of the 'interaction engine' which drives our social interaction, not only in human life, but also in the evolution of our species - showing how exchanges such as words, glances, laughter and face-to-face encounters bring us our greatest and most difficult experiences, and have come to define what it means to be human. It draws extensively on the author's fieldwork with speakers across multiple cultures and communities, and was inspired by his own experiences during the Covid lockdown, when humans were starved of the very social interaction that shapes our lives. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
How to Do Things with Words
In this groundbreaking work of 20th-century philosophy, J.L. Austin reshapes our understanding of language and its power-not merely to describe the world, but to act within it. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Harvard University, How to Do Things with Words introduces the now-famous theory of "speech acts," revealing how utterances can function as actions-promising, ordering, naming, or apologizing-rather than simply stating facts. Austin's clear and witty style, combined with his rigorous analysis, makes this a foundational text for anyone interested in language, philosophy, linguistics, law, or communication. Far from being abstract theory, Austin's ideas have reverberated across fields as diverse as political theory, literary criticism, artificial intelligence, and everyday social interaction.
Prosody and interactional fluency of Italian learners of German
This book explores the development of prosodic and interactional competence in second language acquisition, drawing on data from peer interactions by Italian learners of German in both German and their native language, Italian, as well as from German native speakers. Three key aspects of spoken interaction are examined across proficiency levels: prosodic marking of information status, turn-taking, and backchannels. The analysis of prosodic marking of information status reveals that learners mark givenness using distinct fundamental frequency patterns, as in their native language, but apply a reduction in prosodic strength typically found postfocally in native German, irrespective of its function. This suggests that learners perceive deaccentuation as a salient marker of native German, which they adopt during their learning. This book also presents a novel approach to quantifying interactional competence, showing that lower proficiency negatively affects the smoothness of interactional flow, resulting in reduced speech time and increased overall silence. Finally, it provides new insights into backchannel use in second language and cross-linguistic contexts. Results show a complex, non-arbitrary mapping between lexical type, turn-taking function, and intonation in both native languages. In second language speech, dyad-specific behaviour was found to have a stronger effect on backchannel frequency and duration than second language proficiency. Furthermore, learners tend to transfer preferred lexical backchannel types from their first language into their second language. Overall, this book offers a multidimensional perspective on second language spoken interaction and lays the groundwork for future applications in language teaching and assessment. The doctoral work, on which this book is based, was awarded the IPA PhD Thesis Award for the "Best PhD Thesis in the broad area of Phonetics, Speech Sciences, and Laboratory Phonology" in 2024.
Queering Romantic Engagement in the Postal Age
2020 Winifred Bryan Horner Book Award Honorable Mention from the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition Romantic letters are central to understanding queer history. Debates about letters of "romantic friendship," however, too often reduce them to unstudied expressions of heartfelt feeling. In Queering Romantic Engagement in the Postal Age, Pamela VanHaitsma shows how the genre should be understood as a learned form of rhetoric. VanHaitsma argues that epistolary instruction in the nineteenth-century United States shaped civic engagement in predictably heteronormative ways even as it opened up possibilities for queer rhetorical practices. Her archival study draws on writings whose authors, diverse by gender, race, class, and education, all developed ways of queering cultural norms and generic conventions in their same-sex relationships. VanHaitsma theorizes a new concept of rhetorical education for romantic engagement to account for the significant yet understudied role of such training in inventing both civic and romantic life.

Algospeak
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From linguist Adam Aleksic, known as @etymologynerd on social media, comes a captivating exploration of how internet algorithms are transforming language and communication in unprecedented ways. "Packed with fascinating facts, of-the-moment observations, and a sparkling voice, Algospeak is a gift to any word nerd. Deftly covering everything from emoji etymologies and trendbait to Taylor Swift fanilects... Adam Aleksic is the wise, yet accessible internet linguistics oracle we need."--Amanda Montell, author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Cultish From "brainrot" memes and incel slang to the trend of adding "-core" to different influencer aesthetics, the internet has ushered in an unprecedented linguistic upheaval. We're entering an entirely new era of etymology, heralded by the invisible forces driving social media algorithms. Thankfully, Algospeak is here to explain. As a professional linguist, Adam Aleksic understands the gravity of language and the way we use it: he knows the ways it has morphed and changed, how it reflects society, and how, in its everyday usage, we carry centuries of human history on our tongues. As a social media influencer, Aleksic is also intimately familiar with the internet's reach and how social media impacts the way we engage with one another. New slang emerges and goes viral overnight. Accents are shaped or erased on YouTube. Grammatical rules, loopholes, and patterns surface and transform language as we know it. Our interactions, social norms, and habits--both online and in person--shift into something completely different. As Aleksic uses original surveys, data, and internet archival research to usher us through this new linguistic landscape, he also illuminates how communication is changing in both familiar and unexpected ways. From our use of emojis to sentence structure to the ways younger generations talk about sex and death (see unalive in English and desvivirse in Spanish), we are in a brand-new world, one shaped by algorithms and technology. Algospeak is an energetic, astonishing journey into language, the internet, and what this intersection means for all of us.

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.

Legal Language and the Sea
While maritime law and law of the sea are highly-researched domains of law, there are few studies about the language associated with these fields. In a global society that is increasingly impacted by environmental, health, social, humanitarian, and political crises that partly unfold on the sea, this volume unites legal scholars and linguists who work on the language of these fields. The book includes chapters that focus on macro levels of linguistic analyses (e.g., discourse and genre analysis) and micro levels (e.g., terminology) as well as translation.

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.
