Cambridge University Press Structural Priming in Sentence Production
Book SynopsisThis Element provides an overview of structural priming research across the three main populations on which experimental priming studies have concentrated: adult monolingual speakers, first language learners, second language learners, and bilinguals. Priming studies with monolingual adults were originally designed to inform psycholinguistic models of grammatical encoding in language production. Thanks to the the implicit nature of the task, priming has turned out to be suitable for experimentally addressing questions about linguistic representation and use at the sentence level in speakers of any age. The view that priming is a form of implicit learning has sparked an interest in exploring continuity and life-long learning in language, opening up rich research areas in second language acquisition and bilingualism. Priming rightly deserves to be a part of every language scientist''s tool kit.

Cambridge University Press Intonation and Prosodic Structure
Book SynopsisThis book provides a state-of-the-art survey of intonation and prosodic structure. Taking a phonological perspective, it shows how morpho-syntactic constituents are mapped to prosodic constituents according to well-formedness conditions. Using a tone-sequence model of intonation, it explores individual tones and how they combine, and discusses how information structure affects intonation in several ways, showing tones and melodies to be 'meaningful' in that they add a pragmatic component to what is being said. The author also shows how, despite a superficial similarity, languages differ in how their tonal patterns arise from tone concatenation. Lexical tones, stress, phrase tones, and boundary tones are assigned differently in different languages, resulting in great variation in intonational grammar, both at the lexical and sentential level. The last chapter is dedicated to experimental studies of how we process prosody. The book will be of interest to advanced students and researchersTrade Review'This book will make a very useful resource for graduate students and researchers in other areas of linguistics wanting to understand how prosody and intonation work on a theoretical and practical level. It is becoming increasingly clear that prosody and intonation interact with all other levels of language, from phones to whole discourses, so researchers need the tools and understanding to analyse the contribution of prosody to their data. It is great to see the broad coverage of levels of prosody and languages in this book.' Sasha Calhoun, Senior Lecturer and Linguistics Programme Director, Victoria University of WellingtonTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Phonetic correlates of intonation; 3. Lower-level prosodic constituents; 4. Intonation and syntax: the higher-level prosodic constituents; 5. Models of intonation; 6. Intonation and meaning; 7. Tone and stress at the word level; 8. Sentence intonation in a typological comparison; 9. The processing of intonation; 10. Summary and conclusion.

Cambridge University Press Phonological Tone
Book SynopsisFrom the physiology and acoustics to their patterning across human languages, tone is one of the fundamental constructs in human languages that is also among the hardest to apprehend. Drawing upon a large number of languages around the world, this volume explores the concept of tone starting from its physical properties of articulation and acoustics to its manifestation in phonology. Designed as a comprehensive study accessible to the novice and useful for the expert, each chapter covers a particular aspect of tone in increasing depth and complexity, weaving together key concepts and theories that provide complementing or competing accounts of tone''s phonological intricacies. In the process, one uncovers the underlying laws and principles that inform today''s understanding of the subject to form a more synthesized view that also allows us to explore the relation of tone to other important areas of humanity such as literature, history, music and cognition.Trade Review'This amazing book does justice to the diversity among tone languages, first by covering the basics of the phonetics and phonology of tone and then by analyzing scores of examples drawn from languages from across the globe showing how tonal phenomena function. The final chapter on cognitive aspects is a bonus rarely found in a phonology textbook. It will interest linguists across a broad spectrum and is likely to give many instructors the push they need to offer a course in tone at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level.' William R. Leben, Stanford University, CaliforniaTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Tone basics; 2. Autosegmentality and associations; 3. Discovery of tone and sub-tonal entities; 4. Tone sandhi I: phonetic or phonological; 5. Tone sandhi II: phonological analyses; 6. Interaction: segments to prosody; 7. Cognitive aspects of tone.

Cambridge University Press Ancient Egyptian Phonology
Book SynopsisIn Ancient Egyptian Phonology. James Allen studies the sounds of the language spoken by the ancient Egyptians through application of the most recent methodological advances for phonological reconstruction. Using the internal evidence of the language, he proceeds from individual vowels and consonants to the sound of actual ancient Egyptian texts. Allen also explores variants, alternants, and the development of sound in texts, and touches on external evidence from Afroasiatic cognate languages. The most up to date work on this topic, Ancient Egyptian Phonology is an essential resource for Egyptologists and will also be of interest to scholars and linguists of African and Semitic languages.Table of ContentsPart I. Phonemes and Sounds: 1. Coptic; 2. Demotic; 3. Late Egyptian; 4. Middle Egyptian; 5. Old Egyptian; 6. Phonemes and sounds; 7. Phonoactics; 8. Prosody; 9. Dialects; Part II. Phonological Analysis: 10. Verb roots and stems; 11. Verb forms; 12. y in the pyramid texts; 13. Vocalizing Egyptian.

Cambridge University Press The Historical Phonology of Tibetan Burmese and Chinese
Book SynopsisThe discovery of sound laws by comparing attested languages is the method which has unlocked the history of European languages stretching back thousands of years before the appearance of written records, e.g. Latin p- corresponds to English f- (pes, foot; primus, first; plenus, full). Although Burmese, Chinese, and Tibetan have long been regarded as related, the systematic exploration of their shared history has never before been attempted. Tracing the history of these three languages using just such sound laws, this book sheds light on the prehistoric language from which they descend. Written for readers with little linguistic knowledge of these languages, but fully explicit and copiously indexed for the specialist, this work will serve as the bedrock for future progress in the study of these languages.Trade Review'The depth and breadth of Hill's knowledge are impressive. The clarity of his explanations, the comprehensiveness of his data, the rigor of his methodological application, and the explicit exposition of his assumptions and conclusions make the book an invaluable addition to the field, both for experts and outsiders.'
