Cambridge University Press Feminism Corpusassisted Research and Language
Book SynopsisThis Element presents an investigation into the use of the gender inclusive strategy schwa in a corpus of tweets; the schwa is employed in Italian to overcome grammatical (feminine and masculine) morphological inflections, having at its core linguistic and social binarism. The investigation is set in a country where LGBTQIA communities still face institutional discrimination, yet it is contextualised in the growing work on inclusivity discussed in languages and contexts worldwide. The corpus is examined quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as read through a triangulation of two frameworks: Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies and Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings, obtained from corpus-assisted research and digital ethnography, show that the new linguistic strategy is used creatively, functionally, and not exclusively as a self-representation tool but is also a viable and powerful replacement for generic sexist language.

Cambridge University Press Law and Language Effective Symbols of Community
Book SynopsisCompleted in 1964, Harold J. Berman's long-lost tract shows how properly negotiated, translated and formalised legal language is essential to fostering peace and understanding within local and international communities. Exemplifying interdisciplinary and comparative legal scholarship long before they were fashionable, it is a fascinating prequel to Berman's monumental Law and Revolution series. It also anticipates many of the main themes of the modern movements of law, language and ethics. In his Introduction, John Witte, Jr, a student and colleague of Berman, contextualises the text within the development of Berman's legal thought and in the evolution of interdisciplinary legal studies. He has also pieced together some of the missing sections from Berman's other early writings and provided notes and critical apparatus throughout. An Afterword by Tibor VÃrady, another student and colleague of Berman, illustrates via modern cases the wisdom and utility of Berman's theories of law, languTrade Review'… makes a provocative contribution to the more recently established movement known as 'law and language'.' International Journal for the Semiotics of LawTable of ContentsIntroduction John Witte, Jr and Christopher J. Manzer; 1. Language as an effective symbol of community; 2. The language of law; 3. The growth of legal language; 4. The development of national legal languages; 5. The development of American law and legal language; 6.

Cambridge University Press Sociolinguistics from the Periphery
Book SynopsisFour leading scholars present a fascinating book about change: shifting political, economic and cultural conditions; ephemeral multilingualism; and altered imaginaries for minority and indigenous languages and their users. The authors refer to this network of interlinked changes as the new conditions surrounding small languages in peripheral sites.Trade Review'Reading the book, the authors' passion for small languages and the selected languages in particular is very evident. This results in convincingly written passages in which the authors' virtuosity in the field of sociolinguistics combines with interesting and sometimes even amusing examples from Corsican, Welsh, Irish and Sámi.' Sven Leuckert, The Linguist ListTable of Contents1. Small languages in new circumstances?; 2. Reflexivity and small languages: the 'meta' imperative in late modernity; 3. Conventional and transactional authenticities in small-culture tourism; 4. Expanding possibilities for commodification: luxury, mobility, visuality; 5.
