This volume aims to stretch the boundaries of text and discourse linguistics, exploring organization and structuring in discourse across a variety of communication forms, from written to spoken to visual, in old and new media. It presents a collection of case studies ranging in focus from the micro-level discourse functions of pronouns and emojis, to the macro-level structure of online interaction, all from their different perspectives drawing inspiration from the notion of text as structure and
This collection of original papers illustrates recent trends and new perspectives for future research in Interactional Linguistics (IL). Since the research program was started around the turn of the century, it has prospered internationally. Recently, however, new developments have opened up new perspectives for interactional linguistic research.
IL continues to study the details of talk in social interaction, with a focus on linguistic resources and structures of verbal and vocal intera

Emphasizing the necessity for theory-driven language acquisition research, the studies in this collection aim to formalize the kinds of information available to first and second language learners, as well as to shed light on how that information is used to solve a variety of learning problems. The volume pays homage to the scholarly contributions of Susanne E. Carroll, delving into the impact she has had on the field of language acquisition. The central themes of input, evidence, and exposure 鈥�
This monograph aims to shed light on the linguistic endeavors and educational practices employed by 17th century Spanish Dominicans in their efforts to understand and disseminate knowledge of the Chinese language during this historical period. Ample attention is dedicated to the evolution of Chinese grammars and dictionaries by these authors. Central to the monograph is the manuscript 鈥淢arsh 696鈥�, which comprises a Chinese-Spanish dictionary and a fragmentary Spanish grammar of Mandarin Chinese,
Speakers and learners, based on memory and experience, implicitly know that certain language elements naturally pair together. However, they also understand, through abstract and frequency-independent categories, why some combinations are possible and others are not. The frequency-grammar interface (FGI) bridges these two types of information in human cognition. Due to this interface, the sediment of statistical calculations over the order, distribution, and associations of items (the regulariti
This book offers a fresh perspective on how natural languages encode grammatical relations, by delving into the interplay between oblique cases, adpositions, serial verbs, and applicatives. This book reveals, through a series of case studies, the pervasive role of the 'inclusion' relator across diverse linguistic contexts. Departing from traditional views that obliques lack interpretive content, this work presents a unified conceptual framework of relations in grammar. Drawing on minimalist prin
This book addresses the problems and challenges of studying the discourse of "danger" cross-linguistically and cross-culturally, and proposes the cultural pragmatics of danger as a new field of inquiry. Detailed case studies of several linguacultures include Arabic, Chinese, Danish, English, German, Japanese and Spanish. Focusing on global and local contexts surrounding 鈥渓iving in dangerous times鈥�, this book showcases how the new model of cultural pragmatics can be used to illuminate cultural me
This volume presents the second edition of the Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching (COLT) Observation Scheme. Since the book鈥檚 original publication, COLT has become well established as a research instrument in L2 teaching and learning. This new edition brings COLT into the 21st century by introducing digital versions of the scheme and describing how advances in technology have made the collection, coding, analysis, and synthesis of classroom data faster and more efficient. Enha
Contemporary schools are enlivened by a multitude of children with rather disparate linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. These children spend most of their school hours in interaction with other children, engaging in multifarious activities (conflict, gossip, play, humor, task-related activities) that gradually come to constitute the local culture and social organization of their peer group. The book illustrates the multimodal and sequential organization of these mundane peer cho

The diffusion of English and the increasing mediatization of our globalized world have significant impacts on our perceptions of language and culture. Beginning with an overview of how the conceptualization of language is currently debated in sociolinguistics and related fields, this book highlights the need for a new perspective on language mobility.
Through examining the use of English on German radio morning shows, the book explores the dynamics of language use in times of accelerated global
Proposing a new approach to the study of language, this book argues for the need to consider syntax in context and to engage with a wider variety of perspectives that better reflect the modern world and the changes to our language prompted by increased cultural diversity, the prevalence of social media, AI, and more.
Referencing big data and drawing on a corpus of linguistic research, the book explores in particular the socio-pragmatic sensitivity and complexity within East Asian languages incl
How do metaverse technologies change how we communicate with each other? This book explores how existing metaverse technologies affect our communication, both verbal and non-verbal, as well as the ramifications of these effects.
Communication is central to the human experience, and how we currently communicate (and will communicate) can affect our sense of identity and relationships with others, which can have huge long term societal repercussions. Utilising methods of digital ethnography and l

Mit der Zuwanderung w盲chst auch die Bedeutung der Migrationslinguistik, die als innovatives Forschungsfeld sprachliche Aspekte der Migration interdisziplin盲r betrachtet. Dieses Studienbuch fasst den aktuellen Forschungsstand kompakt zusammen. Es richtet sich insbesondere an Philolog:innen, aber auch an Vertreter:innen der Bildungswissenschaften. Die 14 Kapitel schlie脽en jeweils mit 脺bungen und Aufgaben, deren L枚sungen online zur Verf眉gung stehen.
Hier werden zwei Manuskripte aus der Hinterlassenschaft des 2002 verstorbenen bedeutenden Sprachwissenschaftlers Eugenio Coseriu mit aktualisierter Bibliographie herausgegeben. Der erste Teil besch盲ftigt sich mit der heute nur noch wenig bekannten Geschichte der Entstehung der klassischen Prager Phonologie, die f眉r die weitere Entwicklung strukturalistischer Richtungen in den Geisteswissenschaften gro脽e Bedeutung hatte. Eigenst盲ndig ist hierbei Coserius kritische Kommentierung der durch Trubetzk
Der Band zeigt anhand zweier Korpusstudien erstmals eine Bandbreite von Verben, die in Bewegungskonstruktionen des Deutschen auftreten k枚nnen und kontrastiert diese Daten zu Versprachlichungsstrategien des Englischen und Schwedischen. Der Fokus wird auf bislang wenig systematisch erhobene Versprachlichungsstrategien gerichtet, wie etwa reflexive Konstruktionen (Sie kichern sich frisch verliebt durch die Gegend) oder Modalkonstruktionen (Sie wollen nach Hamburg). Aus Perspektive der Konstruktions
Dieser linguistische Sammelband befasst sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit einem allt盲glichen, zugleich aber gesellschaftlich hochrelevanten Ph盲nomen: der Liebe. Dabei geht es um die Frage, wie Liebe kommunikativ hergestellt, verhandelt, gefestigt und gepflegt wird und zwar in ganz unterschiedlichen Beziehungskonstellationen. Gemeinsam ist allen Beitr盲gen das Anliegen, Muster der aktuellen wie historischen Liebes- bzw. Beziehungskommunikation herauszuarbeiten.

Computer-mediated communication (Herring 1996, 1999, 2007, 2015) or human interaction using networked devices is one of the key-topics of current linguistic and interdisciplinary approaches. Considering the continuous development of textual and audio-visual technologies, human-AI communication (Dynel 2023) or complex smartphone interactions (Yus 2021), digital communication has grown into a complex area of research that draws methods and applications from fields such as functio
