Cambridge University Press Evolutionary Phonology
Book SynopsisThis book explores the nature of sound change in human language over the past 7000–8000 years. It presents a new approach to the problem of how genetically unrelated languages can often show similar sound patterns, and why there are many exceptions to the patterns often regarded as universal.Trade Review'The book contains everything that makes a linguistics book fascinating to read: an overview of the field, a provocative theory for explaining phonological facts, and numerous contemporary and historical examples from a wide sample of languages to support the new theory … As a whole, I think the book makes an interesting contribution to the field of phonology. The theory presented proposes that much of the complexity of human sound systems is due to historical processes that are set in motion by different kinds of misperception, while the actual learning and representations in the mind/brain are relatively simple and general … Blevins' theory does not propose strict formal rules and algorithms to process and learn sound system, but rather a number of mechanisms, heuristics and ways of looking at linguistic phenomena that can be adapted to particular instances … I consider this to be a practical perspective … all in all, I found this book easier to read and less formal than most books on phonological theory … this book is well worth reading for a new perspective on phonology that conforms to the trend towards more data-driven models of language.'

Cambridge University Press Old English Phonology 14 Cambridge Studies in Linguistics Series Number 14
Book SynopsisA detailed study of Old English, taking as its point of departure the 'standard theory' of generative phonology as developed by Chomsky and Halle. Dr Lass and Dr Anderson set out all the main phonological processes of Old English and against their larger historical background (including subsequent developments in the history of English). They propose many fresh solutions to long-standing problems in the history and structure of Old English. The result is an extensive and sophisticated treatment of this subject. An important theory is examined against a well-studied body of linguistic knowledge, and is partly validated and partly revised. The book will be important for all linguistics and historians of English and Indo-European.Table of ContentsList of abbreviations; Preface; Preliminaries: The Feature Framework; 1. 'Ablaut' in the Old English strong verb; 2. The Anglo-Frisian brightening; 3. Two processes of vowel epenthesis: breaking and back umlaut; 4. Palatalisation and I-umlaut; 5. Strengthening and weakening of obstruents: fricative voicing assignment, continuancy adjustment, and some related processes; 6. Epilogue: historical implications: the phonological inventories: some afterthoughts on theory; Appendices; References; Subject and author index; Word index.

Cambridge University Press Spelling and Society
Book SynopsisThis 2007 text explores why matters of orthography are of real concern to so many groups as a powerful symbol of national or local identity. Will be welcomed by students and researchers in English language, orthography and sociolinguistics, and by anyone interested in the importance of spelling in contemporary society.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Mark Sebba goes beyond a description of the culture and the politics of orthography around the globe … such a 'sociolinguistics of orthography' has been missing from the literature.' Pragmatics'Spelling and Society is a well written, researched, and structured book, with each chapter partitioned into reasonably-sized, subtitled sections, making for an enjoyable read.' Lionel Mathieu, Linguist ListTable of ContentsIntroduction: society and orthography; 1. Approaching orthography; 2. Orthography as social practice; 3. Language contact, linguists and the emergence of orthographies; 4. 'Postcolonial' orthographies; 5. Between language and dialect: orthography in unstandardised and standardising vernaculars; 6. Reform or revolution: where angels fear to tread; 7. Why do we spell?

Cambridge University Press Expression and Meaning
Book SynopsisJohn Searle's Speech Acts made a highly original contribution to work in the philosophy of language. Expression and Meaning is a direct successor, concerned to develop and refine the account presented in Searle's earlier work, and to extend its application to other modes of discourse such as metaphor, fiction, reference, and indirect speech arts.Trade Review'[The essays] are written with typical Searlean vigor, clarity, and originality. The result is a volume that deserves more than a mealy-mouthed speech act issuance of the 'You ought to read it' sort, which could be countered without inconsistency with 'But don't bother if you are busy.' Instead, I issue a straight directive: Read it!' Language in Society'Expression and Meaning collects some characteristically forthright and provocative essays on outstanding topics.' John McDowell, The London Review of Books'As one would expect, this is a stimulating collection. Searle is sensitive to detail, but I am most stuck by his penchant for bold distinctions and explanations. And he is systematic; the book considerably enlarges the earlier theory.' Brian Loar, The Philosophical Review'There is a great deal of meat in Searle's treatment of metaphor, as elsewhere in his book, giving it an important place among the steadily increasing works that are developing the foundations, implications and applications of act theory.' Monroe C. Beardsley, International Studies in PhilosophyTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Origins of the essays; 1. A taxonomy of illocutionary acts; 2. Indirect speech acts; 3. The logical status of fictional discourse; 4. Metaphor; 5. Literal meaning; 6. Referential and attributive; 7. Speech acts and recent linguistics; Bibliography; Index.
