Book SynopsisA vital resource on speech and language processing in bilingual adults and children The Listening Bilingual brings together in one volume the various components of spoken language processing in bilingual adults, infants and children. The book includes a review of speech perception and word recognition; syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of speech processing; the perception and comprehension of bilingual mixed speech (code-switches, borrowings and interferences); and the assessment of bilingual speech perception and comprehension in adults and children in the clinical context. The two main authors as well as selected guest authors, Mark Antoniou, Theres Grüter, Robert J. Hartsuiker, Elizabeth D. Peña and Lisa M. Bedore, and Lu-Feng Shi, introduce the various approaches used in the study of spoken language perception and comprehension in bilingual individuals.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Handbook of the Neuroscience of
Book SynopsisThe definitive guide to 21stcentury investigations of multilingual neuroscience The Handbook of the Neuroscience of Multilingualismprovides a comprehensive survey of neurocognitive investigations of multiple-language speakers. Prominent scholar John W. Schwieter offers a unique collection of works from globally recognized researchers in neuroscience, psycholinguistics, neurobiology, psychology, neuroimaging, and others, to provide a multidisciplinary overview of relevant topics. Authoritative coverage of state-of-the-art research provides readers with fundamental knowledge of significant theories and methods, language impairments and disorders, and neural representations, functions, and processes of the multilingual brain. Focusing on up-to-date theoretical and experimental research, this timely handbook explores new directions of study and examines significant findings in the rapidly evolving field of multilingual neuroscience. Discussions on the bilingual advantage debate, recovery aTrade Review“This is a delightful book. It is essential reading for everyone wanting to do research on the topic, but it will also be of great interest to everyone else interested in what distinguishes a multilingual brain from a brain that knows only one language.” Marc Brysbaert, Ghent University, Belgium“This Handbook provides an astonishingly detailed and extensive survey of research into the nature of the multilingual brain, drawing on neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and many other fields. It serves as an encyclopaedic work of reference and a place in which a vast number of expert researchers provide extensive theoretical insights into almost every topic within this important and exciting area.” Martin Pickering, University of Edinburgh, UK“In this considerable achievement, Prof. Schwieter has assembled a landmark handbook which covers a wide range of scientific inquiry on the multilingual brain. The handbook is a one-of-a-kind resource in which he and dozens of contributors have created an absolute must-read for everyone interested in multilingualism.” Cathy Price, University College London, UK“Dr. Schwieter has put together a wonderfully comprehensive handbook on multilingualism in the mind and brain. He has assembled leading lights from the many fields that contribute to this enterprise, and the Handbook comprehensively covers a wide range of key theoretical and empirical topics. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in bilingualism or multilingualism, as well as more generally to students of language and neuroscience.” Michael Ullman, Georgetown University, USA“This comprehensive collection synthesizes the growing body of knowledge on the intersection between multilingualism and cognitive neuroscience. The book provides excellent guidance on what is known–and what remains to be learned–about how interdisciplinary studies of brain and cognitive function inform our understanding of multilingualism. It is a valuable resource for both experienced researchers and students.” Janet van Hell, Pennsylvania State University, USA “Overall, this handbook presents an inclusive evaluation from various scholars, ranging from psychologists to applied linguists, who have come together to raise key issues and theories on the literature of neuroscience of multilingualism…With concrete review of past studies in most chapters, this handbook should be of interest to scholars and students in this field. Most importantly, seeing those studies allows us to better understand the complex phenomenon of multilingualism.” – LINGUIST List 31.2472Table of ContentsList of Figures xi List of Tables xvi About the Editor xviii About the Contributors xix Special Foreword xxxiiiMichel Paradis Overview of the Handbook xxxviiiJohn W.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Sense and Sensitivity
Book SynopsisSense and Sensitivity advances a novel research proposal in the nascent field of formal pragmatics, exploring in detail the semantics and pragmatics of focus in natural language discourse. The authors develop a new account of focus sensitivity, and show that what has hitherto been regarded as a uniform phenomenon in fact results from three different mechanisms. The book Makes a major contribution to ongoing research in the area of focus sensitivity a field exploring interactions between sound and meaning, specifically the dependency some words have on the effects of focus, such as she only LIKES me (i.e. nothing deeper) compared to she only likes ME (i.e. nobody else) Discusses the features of the QFC theory (Quasi association, Free association, and Conventional association), a new account of focus implying a tripartite typology of focus-sensitive expressions Presents novel cross-linguistic data on focus and focus sensitivity that will be relevant acTrade Review"Move over, Austen--and Austin. Prodigiously comprehensive and engagingly presented, Beaver and Clark's rich and subtle study of focus is essential reading on intonational meaning, scalar particles, implicature, presupposition, polarity licensing, and alternative semantics. This is sensitivity training of the highest order." Laurence Horn, Yale University "Sense and Sensitivity merits a close reading by anyone interested in contemporary pragmatic theory. It is clearly written and accessible, and offers a carefully reasoned case for lexical sensitivity to focus. Beaver and Clark's thesis is sure to serve as a touchstone for further work on the subject." Craige Roberts, Ohio State UniversityTable of Contents1. Introduction. 2. Intonation and Meaning. 3.

Johns Hopkins University Press Pennsylvania Dutch
Book SynopsisDrawing on scholarly literature, three decades of fieldwork, and ample historical documents-most of which have never before been made accessible to English-speaking readers-this is the first book to offer a comprehensive look at this unlikely linguistic success story.Trade Review[ Pennsylvania Dutch] is written in a very accessible style and provides good information about the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Canadian Mennonite Louden captures the spirit of the folk-cultural narrative and remains engaging, accessible and entertaining to a wide range of audiences. Pennsylvania Heritage Mark Louden, author of Pennsylvania Dutch: The Story of an American Language, surely has written the definitive guide to the subject. Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society Indeed, this is a one-of-a-kind, exceptionally valuable book... So, scrape your pennies together, and go buy this book-before it's sold out! Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage Louden's interdisciplinary work, sweeping as it does through centuries of history and across a vast continent, draws on three decades of study into the language's evolution and social history. Mennonite World Review Louden successfully weaves a complex tapestry that provides an exhaustive historical account of this language and its speakers and is easily accessible to multiple audiences. Upon finishing this work the scholar is left curious as to what the future holds for Pennsylvania Dutch and its legacy. H-Net Reviews This book is the first attempt at researching and synthesizing the historical, cultural, and linguistic development of Pennsylvania Dutch across all the communities that speak it. It is a bold and broad goal. I'm happy to say that Louden has set the highest standard for any subsequent attempts... It is wonderful story to follow from 1683 to the present. Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies Pennsylvania Dutch: The Story o f an American Language is a splendid addition to the discipline of linguistics and, more specifically, to the field of Pennsylvania Dutch language and culture. A language this remarkable-thanks to its Old Order speakers, it is one of only a few heritage languages in America that is not endangered-deserves a firstrate book, and this is it. It will likely be unsurpassed for years to come. Communal Societies...Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgments1. What Is Pennsylvania Dutch?2. Early History of Pennsylvania Dutch3.

Centre for the Study of Language & Information The Ontology of Language: Properties, Individuals
Book SynopsisThe book offers contributions to a number of topics in semantics, while at the same time providing an engaging discussion of key foundational issues and of what Property Theory can contribute to them. The book starts from a version of Property Theory which stems out of a combination of the lambda calculus with Aczel's Frege structures (a combination originally developed by Raymond Turner). Fox improves on it and substantially extends it with original applications to plurals and mass nouns, to 'intensional individuals' and to the dynamics of discourse. Some useful appendixes on further extensions and alternatives are added. While being formally highly sophisticated, it manages to give a sense of the elegance and flexibility of the underlying theory. This volume should be of interest to researchers engaged in the cognitive science arena.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Property theory; 3. Plurals and mass terms; 4. Roles and guises; 5. Discourse representation; 6. Conclusions; A. Dynamic property theory; B. Dependent types and discourse; C. Semantics of NL in PTD; D. Negation and disjunction in discourse; Bibliography.

Centre for the Study of Language & Information New Perspectives on Case Theory
Book SynopsisCase is one of the central concepts in modern generative syntax, doing the work of linking arguments to predicates, moving nominal expressions, and in some languages connecting the referential properties of nominal expressions. Different languages, however, make use of overt case distinctions to very different degrees, leaving the principles of case with many open questions. This volume offers analyses of case phenomena in a broad range of languages and frameworks, including some novel approaches to case that will invite much discussion.

Centre for the Study of Language & Information The Unity of Unbounded Dependency Constructions
Book SynopsisHow do languages transmit information about the properties of phrases over large structural distances? This is the difficult question raised by the phenomenon of extraction, and while extraction has driven the development of syntactic theory for decades, there is still no consensus on what form the connectivity mechanism should take. A number of recent theoretical approaches share the view that extraction is not a unitary phenomenon, but this monograph offers data that radically undercuts this view. The grammar of extraction connectivity, the authors conclude, is relatively simple, homogenous in construction type, and uniform in the position of the extractee.

Book SynopsisThis volume explores how the effectiveness of communication is shaped by aspects of semantics and pragmatics such as compositionality, the roles of the speaker and hearer, and the acquisition of meaning. "Optimal Communication" surveys recent research in the fields of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and draws from optimality theory to argue that optimal meanings result from a compromise between competing constraints. "Optimal Communication" will be an invaluable resource for students in cognitive science, linguistics, and natural language semantics.
