Grammatical categories (e.g. complementizer, negation, auxiliary, case) are some of the most important building blocks of syntax and morphology. This is a study of grammatical categories, drawing on an unusually large amount of original dialect data.

The question of what types of data and evidence can be used is one of the most important topics in linguistics. This book is the first to comprehensively present the methodological problems associated with linguistic data and evidence. 2012 228 x 152 mm 320pp 12 b/w illus.  1 table   978-1-107-00924-0 Hardback c. £65.00 Publication February 2012 www.cambridge.org/9781107009240

The Modular Architecture of Grammar Jerrold M. Sadock

Modular grammar postulates several autonomous generative systems interacting with one another as opposed to the prevailing theory of transformational grammar in which there is a single generative component – the syntax – from which other representations are derived. In this book Jerrold Sadock develops his influential theory of grammar formalizing several generative modules that independently characterize the levels of syntax, semantics, role structure, morphology, and linear order, as well as an interface system that connects them. Multi-modular grammar provides simpler, more intuitive analyses of grammatical phenomena and allows for greater empirical coverage than prevailing styles of grammar. The book illustrates this with a wide-ranging analysis of English grammatical phenomena, including raising, control, passive, inversion, do-support, auxiliary verbs, and ellipsis. The modules are simple enough to be cast as phrase structure grammars and are presented in sufficient detail to make descriptions of grammatical phenomena more explicit than the approximate accounts offered in other studies.

Jerrold Sadock develops his influential theory of grammar, formalizing several generative modules that independently characterize the levels of syntax, semantics, role structure, morphology and linear order. The modules are simple enough to be cast as phrase structure grammars and make descriptions of grammatical phenomena more explicit than other studies. Advance praise: ‘In this original and creative work, Sadock addresses one of the most fundamental issues in theoretical linguistics, the relationship among the different modules of grammar. He challenges established generative theory by introducing an elegant and well motivated non-derivational model of linguistic organization.’ Jan Terje Faarlund, University of Oslo

The Syntax of Russian

Syntactic Islands Cedric Boeckx

State University of New York, Stony Brook

Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona

Provides an essential guide to Russian syntax and examines major syntactic structures of the language. Various grammatical puzzles are analyzed, especially in the areas of case and word order. It will be of interest to researchers and students of syntactic theory, of Slavic linguistics and of language typology.

The phenomenon of the syntactic ‘island’ – a clause or structure from which a word cannot be moved – is central to research and study in syntactic theory. This book provides a comprehensive overview of syntactic islands, discussing the pros and cons of all the major generative accounts of island effects.

Cambridge Syntax Guides

A one-stop resource on the current developments in word order research, this comprehensive survey provides an up-to-date, critical overview of this widely debated topic, exploring and evaluating research carried out in four major theoretical frameworks – linguistic typology, generative grammar, optimality theory and processing-based theories.

Advance praise: ‘… a reliable and well organized guide through the fascinating world of clitics. The authors deserve praise for the lucid and balanced way in which they present and analyze clitic phenomena in such a remarkably wide range of languages.’

Lexical Meaning in Context A Web of Words Nicholas Asher Institut de Recherche en Informatique, Toulouse

What is a word? In some sense the answer is obvious: words are things dictionaries try to define. This book offers an innovative formal framework for investigating the meanings of words, how word meanings compose together to form sentence meanings and how discourse context can affect the compositional process. ‘Finally we have a representation of word meaning and how it interacts with more standard compositional semantics. The fundamental basis of Nicholas Asher’s theory is that word meanings are lexically simple, but the combination of word meanings involves interesting and complex ways for the types associated with the words to interact. Formal semanticists and computational semanticists now have a theory that is well-enough developed that they can pursue solutions to a broad range of hitherto recalcitrant phenomena.’ Francis Jeffry Pelletier, Simon Fraser University and University of Alberta 2011 228 x 152 mm 344pp 11 b/w illus.   978-1-107-00539-6 Hardback £65.00 eBook available

Semantics and pragmatics / Sociolinguistics

Edited by Keith Allan Monash University, Victoria

and Kasia M. Jaszczolt University of Cambridge

Pragmatics is the study of human communication: the choices speakers make to express their intended meaning and the kinds of inferences that hearers draw from an utterance in the context of its use. This Handbook surveys pragmatics from different perspectives, presenting the main theories in pragmatic research, incorporating seminal research as well as cutting-edge solutions. It addresses questions of rational and empirical research methods, what counts as an adequate and successful pragmatic theory, and how to go about answering problems raised in pragmatic theory. In the fast-developing field of pragmatics, this Handbook fills the gap in the market for a one-stop resource to the wide scope of today’s research and the intricacy of the many theoretical debates. It is an authoritative guide for graduate students and researchers with its focus on the areas and theories that will mark progress in pragmatic research in the future. ‘Comprehensive, up-to-date and authoritative … The Cambridge Handbook of Pragmatics brings together the best scholars in the field to paint a state-of-the-art picture of the field of pragmatics.’ Dingfang Shu, Shanghai International Studies University

Surveys a wide variety of polarity items, both negative and positive, commonly found in English and other languages to show that grammatical sensitivities arise regularly and only in semantic domains which are inherently scalar. ‘Michael Israel’s magisterial study of the scalar foundations of polarity confirms beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that little things do mean a lot. With clarity, elegance and wit, Israel pries open the black box of polarity licensing (no mean feat!) to demonstrate the role of scalar models at the heart of emphasis, attenuation, and rhetorical effects. This book is essential – and delightful – reading for all linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists with an interest in meaning and understanding.’ Laurence Horn, Yale University Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 127

Language Policy in Japan The Challenge of Change Nanette Gottlieb University of Queensland

The increase in the number of migrants learning Japanese and the influence of electronic technologies on the way Japanese is written have led to a need for change in language policy in Japan. This book looks at the impact of these developments on linguistic behaviour and language management and policy.

Over the last thirty years, two social developments have occurred that have led to a need for change in language policy in Japan. One is the increase in the number of migrants needing opportunities to learn Japanese as a second language, the other is the influence of electronic technologies on the way Japanese is written. This book looks at the impact of these developments on linguistic behaviour and language

management and policy, and at the role of language ideology in the way they have been addressed. Immigration-induced demographic changes confront long-cherished notions of national monolingualism, and technological advances in electronic text production have led to textual practices with ramifications for script use and for

literacy in general. The book will be welcomed by researchers and professionals in language policy and management, and by those working in Japanese Studies.

‘With insight and precision, this fine book confronts the dramatic changes in language policy in contemporary Japanese society as well as the ghosts of the cultural hegemonies of the past.’ JOh n C . M a h e r , International Christian University, Tokyo

Mesthrie

Over the last 50 years, language policy has developed into a major discipline, drawing on research and practice in many nations and at many levels. This is the first Handbook to deal with language policy as a whole and is a complete ‘state-of-the-field’ survey, covering language practices, beliefs about language varieties, and methods and agencies for language management. It provides a historical background which traces the development of classical language planning, describes activities associated with indigenous and endangered languages, and contains chapters on imperialism, colonialism, effects of migration and globalization, and educational policy. It also evaluates language management agencies, analyzes language activism and looks at language cultivation (including reform of writing systems, orthography and modernized terminology). The definitive guide to the subject, it will be welcomed by students, researchers and language professionals in linguistics, education and politics.

The Cambridge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Edited by Rajend Mesthrie University of Cape Town

The most comprehensive overview available, this handbook is an essential guide to sociolinguistics today. Reflecting the breadth of research in the field, it surveys a range of topics and approaches in the study of language variation and use in society. As well as linguistic perspectives, the handbook includes insights from anthropology, social psychology, the study of discourse and power, conversation analysis, theories of style and styling, language contact and applied sociolinguistics. Language practices seem to have reached new levels since the communications revolution of the late twentieth century. At the same time face-to-face communication is still the main force of language identity, even if social and peer networks of the traditional face-to-face nature are facing stiff competition of the Facebook-toFacebook sort. The most authoritative guide to the state of the field, this handbook shows that sociolinguistics provides us with the best tools for understanding our unfolding evolution as social beings. ‘Offers breadth, depth and up-to-date insight.’ David Britain, University of Bern

It is generally agreed that about 7,000 languages are spoken across the world today and at least half may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This state-of-the-art Handbook examines the reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages. The volume is relevant not only to researchers in language endangerment, language shift and language death, but to anyone interested in the languages and cultures of the world. It is accessible both to specialists and non-specialists: researchers will find cutting-edge contributions from acknowledged experts in their fields, while students, activists and other interested readers will find a wealth of readable yet thorough and up-to-date information. ‘This handbook is an excellent assemblage of facts and ideas about the fast declining world’s linguistic diversity. It is uniquely resourceful and comprehensive.’ Herman M. Batibo, Former President, World Congress of African Linguistics

A handy beginner’s guide, this textbook introduces the various stages of linguistic fieldwork, from the preparation of the work to the presentation of the results. Drawing on over forty years of fieldwork experience between them, in over two dozen languages, the authors pack the book with examples and anecdotes from their experiences, and include practical exercises for students to test what they have learned. Independent of any particular perspective, the methods can be applied to a wide range of fieldwork settings, for projects with very different theoretical backgrounds, and without the need to travel too far. The book covers ‘traditional fieldwork’ such as language description and documentation, as well as less typical methods, including language contact and quantitative studies with experiments or questionnaires.

Offers an original approach to ethnolinguistics, discussing how abstract concepts such as truth, love, hate and war are expressed across cultures and ethnicities. It will be welcomed by those working in the fields of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, semantics and pragmatics. ● Textboxes throughout provide lively anecdotes from the authors and others’ fieldwork experiences ● Includes useful exercises and ways of trying out fieldwork methods wherever the student happens to be based ● Gives practical help on presenting fieldwork results ● An accompanying website includes answer keys to the exercises and a sound recording for students to analyse real-life data

The best survey of the subject available, The Cambridge Handbook of Child Language brings together the world’s foremost researchers to provide a one-stop resource for the study of language acquisition and development. Grouped into five thematic sections, the handbook is organized by topic, making it easier for students and researchers to use when looking up specific in-depth information. It covers a wider range of subjects than any other handbook on the market, with chapters covering both theories and methods in child language research and tracing the development of language from prelinguistic infancy to teenager. Drawing on both established and more recent research, the Handbook surveys the crosslinguistic study of language acquisition; prelinguistic development; bilingualism; sign languages; specific language impairment, language and autism, Down syndrome and Williams syndrome. This book will be an essential reference for students and researchers working in linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, speech pathology, education and anthropology.

Afroasiatic languages are spoken by some 300 million people in Northern, Central and Eastern Africa and the Middle East. This book is the first typological study of these languages, which are comprised of around 375 living and extinct varieties. They are an important object of study because of their typological diversity in the areas of phonology (some have tone; others do not), morphology (some have extensive inflectional systems; others do not), position of the verb in the clause (some are verb-initial, some are verbmedial, and some are verb-final) and in the semantic functions they encode. This book documents this typological diversity and the typological similarities across the languages and includes information on endangered and littleknown languages. Requiring no previous knowledge of the specific language families, it will be welcomed by linguists interested in linguistic theory, typology, historical linguistics and endangered languages, as well as scholars of Africa and the Middle East. Advance praise: ‘Formerly dominated by research on historical reconstruction, this volume provides a new perspective on Afroasiatic by focusing on the typological wealth characterising this phylum.’ Bernd Heine, University of Cologne

The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Code-switching Edited by Barbara E. Bullock University of Texas, Austin

and Almeida Jacqueline Toribio University of Texas, Austin

Code-switching – the alternating use of two languages in the same stretch of discourse by a bilingual speaker – is a dominant topic in the study of bilingualism and a phenomenon that generates a great deal of pointed discussion in the public domain. This handbook provides the most comprehensive guide to this bilingual phenomenon to date. Drawing on empirical data from a wide range of language pairings, the leading researchers in the study of bilingualism examine the linguistic, social and cognitive implications of code-switching in up-to-date and accessible survey chapters. The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Code-switching will serve as a vital resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as a wide-ranging overview for linguists, psychologists and speech scientists and as an informative guide for educators interested in bilingual speech practices. Review of the hardback: ‘… reads like an international who’s who of the field. It covers all important dimensions of codeswitching, all the main theoretical frameworks, and representatives of all the major ‘schools’…’ Michael Clyne, University of Melbourne

Duels and Duets

Critical Pragmatics

Why Men and Women Talk So Differently John L. Locke

An Inquiry into Reference and Communication Kepa Korta

City University of New York

University of the Basque Country, Donostia – San Sebastián

Why do men and women talk so differently? And how do these differences interfere with communication between the sexes? In search of an answer to these and other questions, John Locke takes the reader on a fascinating journey, from human evolution through ancient history to the present, revealing why men speak as they do when attempting to impress or seduce women, and why women adopt a very different way of talking when bonding with each other, or discussing rivals. When men talk to men, Locke argues, they frequently engage in a type of ‘dueling’, locking verbal horns with their rivals in a way that enables them to compete for the things they need, mainly status and sex. By contrast, much of women’s talk sounds more like a verbal ‘duet’, a harmonious way of achieving their goals by sharing intimate thoughts and feelings in private. ‘… an intriguing journey down the often uneven cobblestone road that is communication between the sexes … It certainly merits space on the bookshelf of anyone interested in how men and women contrast and compliment each other on the verbal landscape.’ Richard G. Bribiescas, Yale University 2011 216 x 138 mm 252pp 6 b/w illus.   978-0-521-88713-7 Hardback £14.99 www.cambridge.org/9780521887137

and John Perry Stanford University, California

Korta and Perry explain why critical pragmatics provides a coherent picture of how language study fits within the broader picture of human thought and action. They argue that the process of referentialism focuses on utterances and emphasizes that in communication we rely on utterance-bound ways of thinking of referents. 2011 228 x 152 mm 192pp 978-0-521-76497-1 Hardback £55.00 978-0-521-74867-4 Paperback £17.99 www.cambridge.org/9780521764971
