Taylor & Francis Ltd Linguistics and Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking, provocative book presents an overview of research at the disciplinary intersection of psychoanalysis and linguistics. Understanding that linguistic activity, to a great extent, takes place in unconscious cognition, Thomas Paul Bonfiglio systematically demonstrates how fundamental psychoanalytic mechanismssuch as displacement, condensation, overdetermination, and repetitionhave been absent in the history of linguistic inquiry, and explains how these mechanisms can illuminate the understanding of the grammatical structure, evolution, acquisition, and processing of language. Reexamining popular misunderstandings of psychoanalysis along the way, Bonfiglio further proposes a new theoretical configuration of language and expertly sets the future agenda on this subject with new conceptual paradigms for research and teaching. This will be an invaluable, fascinating resource for advanced students and scholars of theoretical and applied linguistics, the cognTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroduction: Toward a new transformational model of language1 The contributions of Michel Bréal and Julia Kristeva to a psychoanalytic science of language2 Recursion and metacognition3 The psychoanalytic linguistics of Jean Piaget4 Dreamwork: The precognitive formation of language5 Speech errors and humor: in principio non erat verbum6 Language, consciousness, and identity7 Neuro-psychoanalysis8 Language and mimesis9 Language and mirror neurons10 What is grammar?11 The evolution of language in a psychoanalytic perspective12 Metaphor and psychoanalysis13 Psychoanalysis and linguistic relativityConclusionGlossary of relevant psychoanalytic termsIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rhetoric of InSecurity
Book SynopsisThis book demands that we question what we are told about security, using tools we have had for thousands of years. The work considers the history of security rhetoric in a number of distinct but related contexts, including the United States' security strategy, the war on Big Tech, and current concerns such as cybersecurity. Focusing on the language of security discourse, it draws common threads from the ancient world to the present day and the near future. The book grounds recent comparisons of Donald Trump to the Emperor Nero in a linguistic evidence base. It examines the potential impact on society of policy-makers' emphasis on the novelty of cybercrime, their likening of the internet to the Wild West, and their claims that criminals have gone dark. It questions governments' descriptions of technology companies in words normally reserved for terrorists, and asks who might benefit. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book builds on existing literature in the HumanitieTable of ContentsChapter 1 - The Classical Heritage of Modern (In)Security RhetoricChapter 2 – The Rhetoric of the US National Security StrategyChapter 3 – The War on Big Tech: Construction of Internet Companies as Ideological OthersChapter 4 – The Dark Wild West World War: Danger and Incapability in the Realm of CybersecurityChapter 5 – Epilogue

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Linguistic Image of Womanhood in South Korea
Book SynopsisA Linguistic Image of Womanhood in South Korea examines the verbal and non-verbal techniques used by contemporary South Korean women to navigate their society.South Korea is extremely hierarchical, and this is expressed through a complex array of different politeness levels in words, gestures, and behaviours. These hierarchies were formed over 500 years ago with the introduction of Neo-Confucianism from China, but patriarchal and paternalistic values still linger in contemporary Korean society. In this book, the authors have coined the term language cosmetics' to describe how women in South Korea modify their language and behaviour to conform to social expectations. The book examines womanhood and femininity as seen in popular Korean films, K-dramas, and K-pop. The authors note that feminine language and behaviour are not limited to women (as seen by the practice of aegyo or acting cute' within Korean boy bands), and they describe the tensions between gender hTable of ContentsList of figures List of tables Acknowledgments Preliminaries 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Minimalist Theory of Simplest Merge
This collection explicates one of the core ideas underpinning Minimalist theory explanation via simplification and its role in shaping some of the latest developments within this framework, specifically the simplest Merge hypothesis and the reduction of syntactic phenomena to third factor considerations.Bringing together recent papers on the topic by Epstein, Kitahara, and Seely, with one by Epstein, Seely and Obata, and one by Kitahara, the book begins with an introduction which situates the papers in a cohesive overview of some of the latest research on Minimalism, as facilitated by current theoretical developments. The volume integrates a historical overview of evolutions in Merge, starting with Chomsky's (pre-Merge) Aspects model up to current theoretical models, including a primer of Chomsky's most recent theory of Merge based on the concept of Workspace. The Minimalist notions of perfection and simplification are also outlined, providing clearly explic

Taylor & Francis Ltd Language Incompetence
Book SynopsisThis book is framed as a memoir of the author's journey through a cancer diagnosis and resulting impairments, as he continued his teaching and research activities during and after medical procedures. The narrative weaves together theoretical debates, textual analyses, and ethnographic data from communicative practices to redefine language competence.The book demonstrates: the generative and resistant value of human vulnerability the importance of vulnerability in motivating engagement with social networks and material ecologies for productive thinking, communication, and community the role of relational ethics in social and communicative life a decolonizing orientation to disability studies and language competence. While language competence was traditionally defined as mentally internalized grammatical knowledge for individual mastery of communication, this book demonstrates the need for distributed, ethical, and embodied practicTrade Review"This is a ground-breaking book, situated at the intersection of disability studies and applied linguistics. Suresh Canagarajah writes about important contemporary themes. He argues for a non-deficit perspective, where English language students are no longer seen as needing remediation. He criticizes applied linguists’ exclusive reliance on western discourse and knowledge-making practices. He establishes the importance of social networks, material resources, and distributed practice in the emergence of meaning. He calls for researchers to engage in ethical inquiry, consistent with several recent reminders that applied linguists should seek to solve problems in the real world. In short, this is a thought-provoking book—a memoir sure to spark much discussion."Diane Larsen-Freeman, University of Michigan, USA"Reading Language Incompetence is a unique experience – we encounter a very different author than what we usually expect when we read academic literature. Indeed, this is a very different author than the Suresh Canagarajah that we have known from his academic literature. But there is incredible strength embodied in the anomalies of this book, just as the author argues for the strength in anomalous embodiment more generally. Most impressive is the honesty with which Canagarajah recounts his engagement with disability, through layers of internalized ableism, grappling and often struggling with the ways that our academic discourses suffice, and do not suffice, to recognize the very real vulnerability of our bodies and minds. Language Incompetence should be read by any student or scholar invested in the reliability and normativity of linguistics, of science, of rhetoric – Canagarajah will gently replace their desire for precision and certainty with something much more human."Jay Dolmage, Professor of English, University of Waterloo, Canada; Editor, Canadian Journal of Disability StudiesTable of ContentsPreface1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Health Communication
Book SynopsisThis thoroughly revised second edition covers the major areas of research, theory, and practical application in health communication. This textbook takes an in-depth approach to health communication by analyzing and critically evaluating research conducted across multiple paradigmatic perspectives and focusing on translational application of research findings. Using the story of the Montgomery family, a biracial, multigenerational family, and their health experiences as a case study, chapters explore topics including patientprovider communication, health communication in the media, ethical issues, and public health crises. New chapters cover the potential for communication to address discrimination in healthcare settings, health information seeking, social support and caregiving, and the relationship between health and environmental communication. Chapters offer pedagogical features that will prove useful to students and instructors of health communication, such as summary boTrade Review“My excitement for this book cannot be overstated. As our society more fully grapples with the complexities of health communication laid bare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and students from all disciplines want to become more knowledgeable about issues of health communication, this text will provide a solid, informed, and sensitive look at our field. This book, which nicely incorporates both the breadth and depth of our field, will serve as a useful resource for faculty teaching upper level health communication classes to students from all backgrounds. It is one that not only mentions but also deeply and actively grapples with issues of diversity, discrimination, medical ethics, and access issues across its fifteen chapters. Nowhere is this more clear than in the inclusion of the Montgomery family story, a companion narrative to accompany the textbook chapters that will be a phenomenal pedagogical feature for engaging with undergraduates. I look forward to adopting this book the next time I teach health communication.” Katharine J. Head, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, USA “I have been using the first edition of this book since it was published, and I am eager to adopt the second edition, Health Communication: Research and Practice for a Diverse and Changing World. Health communication is a diverse, dynamic, and rapidly developing field of study. To capture the many facets of our field and translate them within a context of higher education is no small feat. Having thoroughly reviewed this second edition, I believe that Drs. Nancy Harrington and Rachael Record have developed a textbook that will accomplish that feat. One of the ways the authors address the conundrum of competing against material that becomes rapidly outdated is to center chapters within more overarching theoretical approaches, which are then supported by individual research studies. For example, I may be biased as a scholar of technology and media adoption, but nothing seems to lose its shelf life quite so quickly as “new” communication technology research, unless the research is well supported theoretically. Thus, although media consumption, technology use, broadband access, etc. are deeply interwoven with health and communication, chapters about these topics (e.g., “new technologies in health communication,” “internet and eHealth”) quickly become outdated. The authors have addressed this issue in multiple ways, for example, focusing on health information seeking (online and offline), which will ensure usability for many years to come. Finally, Health Communication: Research and Practice for a Diverse and Changing World follows the lead of the subtitle change. In the second edition authors both add and reorder information to prime readers to think about how others may experience health and engaged a strategy that I hope will help those of us who adopt this textbook to inspire discussion and action that will achieve each decade of the U.S. government’s Healthy People goals – “improve the health and well-being of people.” All people.” Kate Magsamen-Conrad, The University of Iowa, USA “Health Communication: Research and Practice for a Diverse and Changing World, piloted in my 300-level Introduction to Health Communication course, was very well received by a large and diverse group of students ranging from communication to kinesiology majors. The students particularly appreciated the relevant and timely content, health justice-based case studies, and the narrative flow of the text. I am confident and excited about utilizing this textbook as a resource for my future classes.” Rati Kumar, San Diego State University, USATable of ContentsUnit I: Understanding Health Communication Foundations 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Picturing Fiction through Embodied Cognition
Book SynopsisThis concise volume addresses the question of whether or not language, and its structure in literary discourses, determines individuals' mental vision, employing an innovative cross-disciplinary approach using readers' drawings of their mental imagery during reading.The book engages in critical dialogue with the perceived wisdom in stylistics rooted in Roger Fowler's seminal work on deixis and point of view to test whether or not this theory can fully account for what readers see in their mind''s eye and how they see it. The work draws on findings from a study of English and Dutch across a range of literary texts, in which participants read literary text fragments and were then asked to immediately draw representations of what they had seen envisioned. Building on the work of Fowler and more recent theoretical and empirical language-based studies in the area, Klomberg, Schilhab, and Burke argue that models from embodied cognitive science can help account for anomalies in evidTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 The Theoretical FrameworkChapter 3 The StudyChapter 4 Embodied Cognition and Point of ViewChapter 5 Discussion and ConclusionReferencesIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing Learning for Multimodal Literacy
Book SynopsisDesigning Learning for Multimodal Literacy addresses the need to design learning for multimodal literacy in a world that is increasingly saturated with print and digital media.In the current age, communication and interactions on social media are seldom made with language alone but are often accompanied with emojis, images, and videos, making meanings multimodally. Young people, including children, are also increasingly active in making videos of themselves, their ideas, and their experiences as part of their out-of-school literacy activities. In particular, for language teachers, the present shifts in our world require that teachers re-examine what they teach and how they can meaningfully and effectively teach the students in their classes today. At 8 years old, Alden created his own rap music video and shared it with the world. He wrote his own lyrics and set it against the music he remixed and meshed from a music download site. Alden is in your classroom today. AsTrade Review"In this pathbreaking book, the authors bring together two crucial agendas for contemporary education. "Multimodal literacy" addresses changed realities of our contemporary media of representation and communication, from the everyday life texts of social media, to multimodal academic knowledge. They connect this to the challenge of "designing learning", a process in which teachers actively create and nurture learning environments in dialogue with their students. In both these foci—meaning making and pedagogy—the book breaks new conceptual ground, while at the same time vividly locating its insights in the rich learning experiences of real teachers and their students."---Bill Cope, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA"Teachers and researchers will find this book illuminating and affirming in its portrayal of collaborative negotiation of the theory, research and practice nexus as well as its stimulating and multi-faceted agenda for such ongoing research in multimodal literacy pedagogy."---Len Unsworth, Professor in English and Literacies Education, Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education, Australian Catholic University, Sydney, Australia"The book bridges the gap between theory and practice in multimodal pedagogy. The chapters provide rich insights on how to translate theories of multimodality into teaching design, and how researchers can work with teachers to develop deeper understanding of their daily practices in classrooms."---Yiqiong Zhang, Professor in Applied Linguistics, Center for Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China "The book advances the teaching of multimodal literacy as it connects theory and practice to shed light onto the design of multimodal learning experiences. Easily comprehensible and insightful, it serves as an illustrative guide for educational researchers and teacher practitioners who are interested in integrating viewing and representing into their lessons"---Dr Styliani Karatza, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

Taylor & Francis Creative Metaphor Evaluation and Emotion in
Book SynopsisThis book explores the roles played by creative and conventional metaphor in expressing positive and negative evaluation within a particular workplace, drawing on interviews with 31 current and former employees of the British Civil Service.Metaphor is often used to express evaluation but relatively few studies have investigated the ways in which metaphor is used to evaluate personal emotionally charged experiences. The volume explores how metaphor serves a predominantly evaluative function, with creatively used metaphors often more likely than conventional metaphors to perform an evaluative function, particularly when the evaluation is negative or ambiguous. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between evaluation, creativity, and metaphor. Examples, including military metaphors and family metaphors, show how creativity often comes through subverting the norms of use of a particular metaphor category, or altering the valence from its conventional useTable of ContentsAcknowledgements, 1.

Taylor & Francis The History and Origin of Language
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 1959 The history and origin of language deals with one of the most important and most fascinating subject matter of all human historical problems-that of the origin and development of language. It is the first attempt to solve it, not by a priori methods, but by marshalling and analyzing the whole of the evidence. It is a work of great originality by a scholar who has written other well-known sociological works, and the treatment is that of the sociologist. Dr Diamond writes for the intelligent layman as well as the linguist.He first seeks the true nature of language and its true function and structure in modern society and traces the paths along which language has developed and changed in its known history, both in the forms of its words and in their meanings, examining for this purpose many languages of civilized and primitive peoples. These paths he then pursues backwards with the aid of data from human physiology, the language of children, and observations of animal behaviour, and shows how all these paths converge to one beginning and deduces how language originated-both the form of its first words and their meanings. He finally shows relics of these earliest words and meanings in languages which still survive. The arguments are cumulative and many sided, and the case made is convincing. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of linguistics.
