Cambridge University Press Emotion and Narrative
Book SynopsisEmotions have a life beyond the immediate eliciting situation, as they tend to be shared with others by putting the experience in narrative form. Narrating emotions helps us to express, understand, and share them: the way we tell stories influences how others react to our emotions, and impacts how we cope with emotions ourselves. In Emotion and Narrative, Habermas introduces the forms of oral narratives of personal experiences, and highlights a narrative''s capacity to integrate various personal and temporal perspectives. Via theoretical proposals richly illustrated with oral narratives from clinical and non-clinical samples, he demonstrates how the form and variety of perspectives represented in stories strongly, yet unnoticeably, influence the emotional reactions of listeners. For instance, narrators defend themselves against negativity and undesired views of themselves by excluding perspectives from narratives. Habermas shows how parents can help children, and psychotherapists can aTrade Review'In this highly engaging and interdisciplinary book, Habermas integrates philosophy, linguistics, psychology, and psychoanalysis to explore the intersection of emotion and narrative as fundamental to human communication. Narratives both form and transform our emotional experience; Habermas weaves a compelling story that places emotion at the center of human interaction.' Robyn Fivush, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology, Emory University, Georgia'This is an outstanding achievement. Nestled within this masterful work, which explores the transformational power of narrating our emotional experiences, is a story of the author’s boundless curiosity, passion, and humanity, which radiate from every page. If you, like me, are fascinated by the role of narrative, you cannot afford to be without this book.' Antonino Ferro, Member of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and the American Psychoanalytic Association, and Recipient of the Mary S. Sigourney Award'This book sheds light on a fundamental axis of our human existence. It clearly and precisely explains the why and how of the daily exchange process in which we tell others what we just went through and we listen to others telling us their own experiences.' Bernard Rimé, Psychological Sciences Research Institute, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium'This is the most far-reaching exploration of emotion and narrative to date. It opens up new and compelling perspectives on emotions as a social and communicative phenomenon, on our power to transform emotions through narration, and on the significance of perspective-taking for coping. For the interdisciplinary field of memory studies, it is a true godsend.' Astrid Erll, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany'No book on the subject of emotion and narrative can hold a candle to Habermas' cutting-edge and wide-ranging monograph. Meticulously researched and cogently argued, this landmark work will be essential reading not only for specialists in emotion psychology, but for everyone interested in autobiographical storytelling and the centrality of narrative to emotion.'

Cambridge University Press Person Reference in Interaction Linguistic Cultural and Social Perspectives 7 Language Culture and Cognition Series Number 7
Book SynopsisHow do we refer to people in everyday conversation? No matter the language or culture, we must choose from a range of options: full name ('Robert Smith'), reduced name ('Bob'), description ('tall guy'), kin term ('my son') etc. Our choices reflect how we know that person in context, and allow us to take a particular perspective on them. This book brings together a team of leading linguists, sociologists and anthropologists to show that there is more to person reference than meets the eye. Drawing on video-recorded, everyday interactions in nine languages, it examines the fascinating ways in which we exploit person reference for social and cultural purposes, and reveals the underlying principles of person reference across cultures from the Americas to Asia to the South Pacific. Combining rich ethnographic detail with cross-linguistic generalizations, it will be welcomed by researchers and graduate students interested in the relationship between language and culture.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Metaphor Wars
Book SynopsisThe study of metaphor is now firmly established as a central topic within cognitive science and the humanities. This book explores the critical role that conceptual metaphors play in language, thought, cultural and expressive actions. It evaluates the arguments and evidence for and against conceptual metaphors across academic disciplines.Trade Review'Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr discusses serious issues clearly, eloquently, and always listening to the arguments raised by the critics. He patiently presents his counter-arguments and talks about the many research results produced by the conceptual metaphor theory community, and outside it, results that many of the critics have not even heard of or simply ignored.' Zoltán Kövecses, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest'This book, by one of the top researchers in cognitive linguistics, is an important contribution to the debate about how people use and understand metaphor … Scholars and researchers engaged directly in metaphor research will find it essential reading.'

Cambridge University Press Foreign Accent
Book SynopsisTo what extent do our accents determine the way we are perceived by others? Is a foreign accent inevitably associated with social stigma? In this fascinating account, Alene Moyer examines the social, psychological, educational and legal ramifications of sounding 'foreign'.Trade Review'A wonderfully rich and readable treatment of accent in all its complexity … refreshingly nuanced in its comments on the practical matters it addresses.' David Singleton, Trinity College Dublin'Meticulously documented, comprehensive in scope, and well balanced in its coverage of all of the relevant issues, Moyer's book is the one I wish I had written!' Tom Scovel, Professor Emeritus, San Francisco State University'This insightful volume provides an overview of accent in non-native speech that ranges from Moyer's areas of past expertise - second language phonology, age effects, and the role of individual differences - to broad applications and implications for society, education and politics.' Julia Herschensohn, University of Washington'The specificity of the topic makes the book most appropriate for researchers concerned with second-language acquisition, but Moyer's clear writing style and inclusion of a glossary expands the book's appeal for advanced students and language teachers … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.' K. C. Williams, Choice'This book is a valuable resource for both students and experts alike who are primarily interested in adult second language contexts. The author succinctly summarizes major movements in the field of second language acquisition and probes into the corners that have only been partially investigated. A wide range of studies is offered as evidence to support the discussions, and the review of counter-indicating studies is scholarly and unbiased.' Mary Hudgens Henderson, The Linguist List'This book will serve as a useful resource. Moyer has respectfully and thoughtfully created a depository for the substantial work that has been done in the area of foreign accent and non-native speech.' Studies in Second Language Acquisition'… a remarkably comprehensive treatment of accent, incorporating insights from multiple relevant fields. Because most of the topics covered interact crucially with social aspects of language, sociolinguists should find this book particularly useful … Moyer succeeds admirably with this book. She provides a broad overview of timely issues in non-native accent research, carefully presenting sophisticated data and arguments in a way that will be at the same time accessible to non-specialists and also informative for those already well-versed in the field.' Rachel Hayes-Harb, Journal of Sociolinguistics'All in all, the volume enriches our understanding of both L2 pronunciation teaching and research. … Second, this account sets out clear guidelines for researchers in the field on how to establish reliability in studies that mainly look at native versus non-native judgments of accented speech and that explore differences between native and non-native speech samples.'

Cambridge University Press Bilingual Grammar
Book SynopsisDoes a bilingual person have two separate lexicons and two separate grammatical systems? Or should the bilingual linguistic competence be regarded as an integrated system? This book explores this issue, which is central to current debate in the study of bilingualism, and argues for an integrated hypothesis: the linguistic competence of an individual is a single cognitive faculty, and the bilingual mind should not be regarded as fundamentally different from the monolingual one. This conclusion is backed up with a variety of empirical data, in particular code-switching, drawn from a variety of bilingual pairs. The book introduces key notions in minimalism and distributed morphology, making them accessible to readers with different scholarly foci. This book is of interest to those working in linguistics and psycholinguistics, especially bilingualism, code-switching, and the lexicon.Table of Contents1. Introduction. Motivating a unified linguistic system; 2. Remarks on separationist architectures; 3. Phases, distributed morphology and some contributions from code-switching; 4. 1Lex in MDM; 5.

Cambridge University Press Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory
Book SynopsisThe phenomenon known as metaphor is an extremely complex mental event - we cannot capture its complexity if we tie ourselves to existing standard views on metaphor. This book offers fresh insight into metaphor, updating an established theory, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), in the context of current cognitive linguistic theory, and clarifying many of the issues that researchers in the study of metaphor have raised against conceptual metaphor theory. Starting with an introduction to CMT, the subsequent chapters set out propositions for Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory, including a discussion on whether literal language exists at all, whether conceptual metaphors are both conceptual and contextual, and whether they are both offline and online. Providing a fresh take on a constantly developing field, this study will enrich the work of researchers in areas ranging from metaphorical cognition to literary studies.Trade Review'… this monograph will be useful for researchers across multiple fields such as cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, social-linguistics, and other related disciplines such as cognition science, neurology, psychology, sociology, among others.' Yu Zhang and Zhengjun Lina, Journal of PragmaticsTable of Contents1. A brief outline of 'standard' conceptual metaphor theory and some outstanding issues; 2. The abstract understood figuratively, the concrete understood literally, but the concrete understood figuratively?; 3. Direct or indirect emergence?; 4. Domain, schema, frame or space?; 5.

The University of Chicago Press Gesture and Thought
Book SynopsisGesturing is such an integral yet unconscious part of communication that we are mostly oblivious to it. This is a project in the study of the relationship of how we communicate and its connection to thought. This book influences all subsequent linguistic and evolutionary theory on the subject.Trade Review"What he is passionate about is the very stuff you would do if you put this paper down and started to explain to someone nearby what you were reading about - in other words, 'the spontaneous, ephemeral, made-up-on-the-fly' gesturing you do all day, maybe even in your dreams, though you probably barely notice it. And you probably never gave it a second's thought, although to McNeill it is a snapshot of your thinking, a window to your mind, the best way - without neurosurgery - of getting to peek inside your brain." - Barbara Mahaney, Chicago Tribune"

Plural Publishing Inc Psycholinguistics: Introduction and Applications
Book SynopsisPsycholinguistics: Introduction and Applications, Second Edition is the first textbook in psycholinguistics created for working language professionals and students in speech-language pathology and language education, as well as for students in psychology and linguistics. It provides a clear, lively introduction to research and ideas about how human brains process language in speaking, understanding, and reading. Within a unifying framework of the constant interplay of bottom-up (sensory) and top-down (knowledge-based) processing across all language uses and modalities, it is an integrated, self-contained, fully updated account of psycholinguistics and its clinical and pedagogical applications. In this second edition, author Lise Menn is joined by leading brain researcher and aphasiologist, Nina Dronkers. The significantly revised brain chapter contains current findings on brain structure and function, including the roles of newly-delineated fiber tracts and language areas outside Broca's and Wernicke's areas.Five core chapters (language description, brain structure and function, early and later stages of speech production, experimental psycholinguistics) form the foundation for chapters presenting classical and recent research on aphasia, first language development, reading, and second language learning. A final chapter demonstrates how linguistics and psycholinguistics can and should inform classroom and clinical practice in test design and error analysis, while also explaining the care that must be taken in translating theoretically based ideas into such real-world applications. Concepts from linguistics, neurology, and experimental psychology are kept vivid by illustrations of their uses in the real world, the clinic, and language teaching. Technical terms are clearly explained in context and also in a large reference glossary. The text is now accompanied by a web-based Student Workbook. The Instructor's Manual, also new, is flexibly organized for instructors and students of varying backgrounds.Key Features:*Written in clear, vivid, straightforward style by experienced professors with varying student needs and instructor backgrounds in mind.*Explicit, attractive presentation of clinical and pedagogical applications.* Covers a range of phenomena from normal, partially-learned, and impaired language, such as phonological dialect variation, semantic category priming and garden-path sentences; alteration of the brain by language experience, overgeneralization, and failure to generalize; aphasia, oral apraxia, perseveration.*Complete glossary of technical terms that are also clearly explained throughout the text.*Companion website has sound files, help with learning the International Phonetic Alphabet and anatomical terms, color versions of text figures, and a compact version of the experimental psycholinguistics section for students with backgrounds in psychology.*NEW! Companion website includes wide range of supplemental research information about language, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics.*NEW! Web-based Student Workbook with problems, self-quizzes, links to additional resources, and optional advanced material.*NEW!
