This volume offers a cross-disciplinary insight into language contact research, bringing together studies on language variation, second language acquisition, and translation. It creates a dialogue between researchers, viewing language contact from a broader perspective.
Culture’s Software
Geert Hofstede defined culture as collective programming of the mind. This volume, Culture’s Software, develops this idea. Born from a debate on cultural communication styles, this book offers a fresh perspective and will inspire further research into this fascinating subject.
This is the first work in English on the historical grammar of Romanian from a modern theoretical perspective. It addresses key morphological and syntactic issues in Romanian’s development, filling a gap in current research on the Romance languages.
Discourses in Co(n)text
This book offers a holistic view of specialised and professional discourse. It analyses the language of medicine, sports, and academia from a variety of perspectives, showing the practical applicability of its analyses and connections to other disciplines.
How do we comprehend language? This book provides a comprehensive overview of experimental and theoretical studies on language processing, emphasizing the fruitful interaction among theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics and neuroscience.
Communication as a Life Process
This volume presents the ecolinguistic paradigm, a dynamic, multilayer approach to human communication. Founded on a holistic paradigm, these contributions complement the mainstream focus on cognitive systems by pointing to non-cognitive modalities in the communication process.
While educational systems are culture-bound, our globalized world needs a shared understanding of teaching a language. This book offers a framework for a non-culture-bound theory of language education, providing a common core that goes beyond national standards and guidelines.
This book explores the internal structure of personal pronouns in Brazilian Portuguese. It shows that traditional features (person, number, gender, case) are categories made of more elemental components which define the content, shape, and syntactic consequences of a pronoun.
