Cambridge University Press Heritage Languages and their Speakers
Book SynopsisThis book provides a pioneering introduction to heritage languages and their speakers, written by one of the founders of this new field. Using examples from a wide range of languages, it covers all the main components of grammar, including phonetics and phonology, morphology and morphosyntax, semantics and pragmatics, and shows easy familiarity with approaches ranging from formal grammar to typology, from sociolinguistics to child language acquisition and other relevant aspects of psycholinguistics. The book offers analysis of resilient and vulnerable domains in heritage languages, with a special emphasis on recurrent structural properties that occur across multiple heritage languages. It is explicit about instances where, based on our current knowledge, we are unable to reach a clear decision on a particular claim or analytical point, and therefore provides a much-needed resource for future research.Trade Review'Maria Polinsky has written a comprehensive and authoritative work that will be an indispensable point of reference for future research on heritage languages. Her book takes a very detailed look at heritage languages, but it never loses sight of a central question for all linguists: what does it mean to be a speaker of a language?' Grant Goodall, University of California, San Diego'This volume is thorough, comprehensive, and multifaceted, capturing the uniqueness, complexities and subtleties that characterize heritage language. A plethora of concrete research evidence from numerous languages is provided to illustrate the points made.' Mitsuyo Sakamoto, LINGUIST ListTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Heritage English; 3. How to study heritage speakers: some observations on the methodologies and approaches; 4. Phonetics and phonology; 5. Morphology and morphosyntax; 6. Syntax; 7. Semantics and pragmatics; 8.

Cambridge University Press From Speech Acts to Lay Understandings of Politeness
Book SynopsisTaking an up-to-date and truly global approach, this volume presents a wide range of phenomena in politeness research, and discusses key developments in the field. Covering eight major world languages as well as several language varieties, a team of leading scholars provide a multilingual and multicultural perspective on various speech acts and emic conceptualisations of politeness, and a diachronic view of the field. Most significantly, the volume focuses on the latest trends in the field, such as metapragmatic approaches to im/politeness, politeness and globalization, politeness in computer mediated communication, and politeness and prosody, spanning a wide range of methodologies and types of data, including naturally occurring conversations, role plays, email messages, social media, online discussion forums, ethnographic interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, experiments and language corpora.Trade Review'… From Speech Acts to Lay Understandings of Politeness is a completely coherent volume that provides new insights into SA realization and the metapragmatics of face-threat and (im)politeness. Adopting a cross-cultural and cross-varietal perspective, it will appeal to politeness scholars, of course, but also to researchers interested in empirical and corpus-based pragmatics and willing to privilege data triangulation in their investigations.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Durkheim and the Internet
Book SynopsisJan Blommaert is Professor of Language, Culture and Globalization and Director of Babylon, Center for the Study of Superdiversity at Tilburg University, the Netherlands.Trade ReviewBlommaert's book is a theoretical tour-de-force, entertaining, challenging and immensely enlightening. It encompasses a wide swath of thinking about the relationship between language and society, both in history and now. * Internet Pragmatics *Once again, Blommaert challenges sociolinguists to reflect on our discipline in new and exciting ways. While we have long devoted much energy to the linguistic half of the sociolinguistic equation, here Blommaert makes a compelling argument for engaging more fully with the social half, and for the relevance of classical sociology to understanding the new ways language is being used in the age of globalisation and digital communication. * Rodney H. Jones, Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Reading, UK *In this concise but absorbing book, Blommaert provides a highly persuasive argument for why sociology should engage seriously with research into language. In doing so he details the profound and wide-ranging benefits that the study of communicative interaction can offer for a theorization of society in general. The book is likely to become essential reading for both sociolinguists, sociologists, and those interested in the ways that digital media are transforming the modern world. * Philip Seargeant, Senior Lecturer in Applied Linguistics, The Open University, UK *Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Academic Multispecies Discourse Analysis
Book SynopsisThis book explores how language and communication shape the increasingly entangled lives of people and sea turtles at the nexus of sea turtle conservation and ecotourism. Here, new ecocultural identities are taking shape as people strive to make sense of their shifting multispecies landscape, and as sea turtles gradually reclaim beaches after decades of absence. The book offers researchers in ecolinguistics and related ecologically engaged fields in discourse analysis an integrative theoretical and methodological approach to empirically investigate the human and ''more-than-human'' discourses and practices shaping problematic human-wildlife interaction. Containing short vignettes in each chapter covering the biology and behaviours of sea turtles, this book suggests how discourse analysts might contribute to a ''life-sustaining multispecies ethics'' in an uncertain socio-ecological time increasingly being referred to as the Anthropocene.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Storytelling and Ecology
Book Synopsis''Finalist'' in the PROSE Award (2022) for Language & LinguisticsAwarded Honors at the Storytelling World Awards 2022Linking the ongoing ecological crisis with contemporary conditions of alienation and disenchantment in modern society, this book investigates the capacity of oral storytelling to reconnect people to the natural world and enchant and renew their experience of nature, place and their own existence in the world. Anthony Nanson offers an in-depth examination of how a diverse ecosystem of oral stories and the dynamics of storytelling as an activity can catalyse different kinds of conversation and motivation, helping us resist the discourse of powerful vested interests. Detailed analysis of traditional, true-life and fictional stories shows how spoken narrative language can imbue landscapes, creatures and experiences with enchantment and mediate between the inner world of consciousness and outer world of ecology and community. A pioneering ecolinguistic Trade ReviewWise, precise, scientifically fluent while achingly expressive, and distilled from decades of practice and research, this book reimagines storytelling for this moment of ecological emergency. Nanson opens up his story-crafting processes to illustrate how storytellers can integrate different forms of knowledge, and make space for listeners’ own explorations, emotions, and aspirations. * Dr Catherine Heinemeyer, Lecturer in Arts and Ecological Justice, York St John University, UK *The recognition within the environmental world that we are a story telling species, not a data processing species is one of the most significant developments within the environmental movement. Stories change lives; they challenge assumptions; they are also huge fun! And that is what Anthony shows so powerfully in this truly important book. * Martin Palmer, Senior Advisor to WWF International on Beliefs and Values, UK *Anthony Nanson’s exploration of storytelling in relation to ecology is a sine qua non for eco-critics and eco-linguists, whether they are researchers, educators, or students. Nanson’s extensive analysis reframes storytelling as a tool for ecological agency. We must forget the speech-act, as Nanson, a master storyteller, brings us the story-act. * Dr Maria Nita, The Open University, UK *Anthony Nanson does a great job of laying out how live story performance can build an emotional connection between listeners and the environment and shows how these emotional connections are critically important if we want people to take action to protect natural areas and the wildlife that depend upon them. * Kevin Strauss, Author of Tales with Tails: Storytelling the Wonders of the Natural World (Libraries Unlimited, 2006), USA *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis open access book takes an innovative and critical look at the ways in which digital data and algorithms are changing the face of higher education in multiple ways. It examines their impact at both the macro scale of universities and systems worldwide, but also at the more subtle level of effects on academics and students.

As well as exploring the role of big data' and learning analytics, the book also focuses on areas of academic life not normally considered to be part of datafication, such as the physical structures of surveillance on campus and the ways in which systems of quality' in research can morph into regimes of surveillance and algorithmic discipline.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Discursive Construction of Migrant Identities
Book SynopsisThis edited volume explores how migrant identities are created and constructed in discourse both by migrants themselves and by others. The contributors reveal how migrant identities are discursively constructed by those with lived experiences of mobility and those who view themselves as part of the host' population. This dual focus responds to a lack of previous research examining migration representation from both perspectives. Readers will discover how the discursive constructions of migrant identities in different domains relate to one another.The case studies include a broad range of text types from film, government documents and narrative accounts to newspapers and Twitter. They also cover a wide range of contexts including Argentina, Australia, Italy, Romania, and UK, making this is a more comprehensive account of the framing of migration than has been previously accomplished. The chapters all follow the same structure to help the reader learn how to inv

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Queer Correctives
Book SynopsisQueer Correctives explores Christian discourses of sex and sexuality in Singapore to argue that metanoia, the theological concept of spiritual transformation, can be read as a form of neo-homophobia that coaxes change in the queer individual. In Singapore, Christian discourses of sex and sexuality have materialised in the form of testimonials that detail the pain and suffering of homosexuality, and how Christianity has been a salve for the tribulations experienced by the storytellers. This book freshly engages with Michel Foucault's posthumous and final volume of The History of Sexuality by revitalising his work on biblical metanoia as a form of homophobia. Drawing on Foucauldian critical theory and approaches in discourse studies, it shows how language is at the centre of this particular iteration of neo-homophobia, one that no longer finds value in overt expressions of hate and disdain for those with non-normative sexualities, but relies extensively on seemingly neutral calls for c
