Cognitive english grammarGünter Radden and René DirvenUniversity of Hamburg / Gerhard Mercator University Duisburg

Cognitive English Grammar is designed to be used as a textbook in courses of English and general linguistics. It introduces the reader to cognitive linguistic theory and shows that Cognitive Grammar helps us to gain a better understanding of the grammar of English. Th e notions of motivation and meaningfulness are central to the approach adopted in the book. In four major parts comprising chapters, Cognitive English Grammar integrates recent cognitive approaches into one coherent model, allowing the analysis of the most central constructions of English. Part I presents the cognitive framework: conceptual and linguistic categories, their combination in situations, the cognitive operations applied to them, and the organisation of conceptual structures into linguistic constructions. Part II deals with the category of ‘things’ and their linguistic structuring as nouns and noun phrases. It shows how things are grounded in reality by means of reference, quantifi ed by set and scalar quantifi ers, and qualifi ed by modifi ers. Part III describes situations as temporal units of various layers: internally, as types of situations; and externally, as located relative to the time of speech and grounded in reality or potentiality. Part IV looks at situations as relational units and their structuring as sentences. Its two chapters are devoted to event schemas and space and metaphorical extensions of space.

Cognitive English Grammar off ers a wealth of linguistic data and explanations. Th e didactic quality is guaranteed by the frequent use of defi nitions and examples, a glossary of the terms used, overviews and chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and study questions (with solutions, available online at: www.benjamins.com/).

applied Cultural linguisticsImplications for second language learning and intercultural communicationEdited by Farzad Sharifi an and Gary B. PalmerMonash University / University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Research in the relatively new fi eld of cultural linguistics has implications for second language learning and intercultural communication. Th is volume is the fi rst of its kind to bring together studies that examine the implications for applied programs of research in these domains. Collectively, the contributions explore the interrelationship between language, culture, and conceptualisations. Each study focuses on a diff erent language-and-culture. Th e languages-cultures studied include Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Persian, English, Aboriginal English

and African English. Th e particular conceptual bases of the contributions range from theories of embodiment and conceptual metaphors to theories of schemas and cultural scripts. Several authors directly address the application of their observations to the fi elds of second language/dialect learning and intercultural communication, while others fi rst present a theoretical analysis and then explore its practical implications. Collectively, the contributions establish a novel direction for research in applied linguistics.Contributions by: Cliff Goddard & Anna Wierzbicka; Zouhair Maalej; Ian G. Malcolm; Debra J.

�� analogical modelingAn exemplar-based approach to languageEdited by Royal Skousen, Deryle Lonsdale and Dilworth B. ParkinsonBrigham Young University, Provo, Utah

Analogical Modeling (AM) is an exemplar-based general theory of description that uses both neighbors and non-neighbors (under certain well-defi ned conditions of homogeneity) to predict language behavior. Th is book provides a basic introduction to AM, compares the theory with nearest-neighbor approaches, and discusses the most recent advances in the theory, including psycholinguistic evidence, applications to specifi c languages, the problem of categorization, and how AM relates to alternative approaches of language description

(such as instance families, neural nets, connectionism, and optimality theory). Th e book closes with a thorough examination of the problem of the exponential explosion, an inherent diffi culty in AM (and in fact all theories of language description). Quantum computing (based on quantum mechanics with its inherent simultaneity and reversibility) provides a precise and natural solution to the exponential explosion in AM. Finally, an extensive appendix provides three tutorials for running the AM computer program (available online).Contributions by: Antal van den Bosch; Steve Chandler; Walter Daelemans; David Eddington; Christer Johansson; Andrea Krott, Robert Schreuder & R.

analogy as structure and ProcessApproaches in linguistics, cognitive psychology and philosophy of scienceEsa ItkonenUniversity of Turku

Th e concept of analogy is of central concern to modern cognitive scientists, whereas it has been largely neglected in linguistics in the past four decades. Th e goal of this thought-provoking book is () to introduce a cognitively and linguistically viable notion of analogy; and () to re-establish and build on traditional linguistic analogy-based research.As a starting point, a general defi nition of analogy is off ered that makes the distinction between analogy-as-structure and analogy-as-process.

Chapter deals with analogy as used in traditional linguistics. It demonstrates how phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and diachronic linguistics make use of analogy and discusses linguistic domains in which analogy does or did not work. Th e appendix gives a description of a computer program, which performs such instances of analogy-based syntactic analysis as have long been claimed impossible.Chapter supports the ultimate (non-modular) ‘unity of the mind’ and discusses the existence of pervasive analogies between language and such cognitive domains as vision, music, and logic. Th e fi nal chapter presents evidence for the view that the cosmology of every culture is based on analogy. At a more abstract level, the role of analogy in scientifi c change is scrutinized, resulting in a meta-analogy between myth and science.[Human Cognitive Processing, 14] 2005. xiv, 249 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2366 1 EUR 110.00 / USD 132.00��


aspects of meaning ConstructionEdited by Günter Radden, Klaus-Michael Köpcke, Th omas Berg and Peter SiemundUniversity of Hamburg / Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

Meaning does not reside in linguistic units but is constructed in the minds of the language users. Meaning construction is an on-line mental activity whereby speech participants create meanings on the basis of underspecifi ed linguistic units. Th e construction of meaning is guided by cognitive principles. Th e contributions collected in the volume focus on two types of cognitive principles guiding meaning construction: meaning construction by means of metonymy and metaphor, and meaning construction by means of mental spaces and conceptual blending. Th e papers

in the former group survey experiential evidence of fi gurative meaning construction and discuss high-level metaphor and metonymy, the role of metonymy in discourse, the chaining of metonymies, metonymy as an alternative to coercion, and metaphtonymic meanings of proper names. Th e papers in the latter group address the issues of meaning construction prompted by personal pronouns, relative clauses, inferential constructions,

“sort-of” expressions, questions, and the into-causative construction.Contributions by: Antonio Barcelona; Mario Brdar & Rita Brdar-Szabó; Jr., Raymond W.

attention and implicit learningEdited by Luis JiménezUniversity of Santiago de Compostella, Spain

Attention and Implicit Learning provides a comprehensive overview of the research conducted in this area. Th e book is conceived as a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on the question of whether implicit learning may be depicted as a process that runs independently of attention. Th e volume also deals with the complementary question of whether implicit learning aff ects the dynamics of attention, and it addresses these questions from perspectives that range from functional to neuroscientifi c and computational approaches. Th e view of implicit learning that

arises from these pages is not that of a mysterious faculty, but rather that of an elementary ability of the cognitive systems to extract the structure of their environment as it appears directly through experience, and regardless of any intention to do so. Implicit learning, thus, is taken to be a process that may shape not only our behavior, but also our representations of the world, our attentional functions, and even our conscious experience.

awakening and sleep–Wake Cycle across DevelopmentEdited by Piero Salzarulo and Gianluca FiccaUniversity of Florence / Second University of Naples

Sleep and wakefulness undergo important changes with age. Awakening, a crucial event in the sleep-wake rhythm, is a transition implying complex physiological mechanisms. Its involvement in sleep disturbances is also well known. Th is collective volume is the fi rst attempt to systematically approach awakening across development.A methodological section considers criteria to defi ne awakening in a developmental perspective. Th eoretical considerations on development of wakefulness and on its relation to consciousness are included and provide a

vigorous impulse to go beyond present criteria and classifi cations.Age changes are the core of studies on development: a section of the book examines old and new data from preterm to infants up to children, underscoring the main turning points along this developmental path. As for other aspects of development, awakening and the sleep-wake cycle are also infl uenced by external factors, both physical and human. Several contributions deal with this topic, in particular focusing on the parent-infant interaction and the infl uences of culture.Clinical contexts off er an opportunity to show both quantitative and qualitative changes of awakening and arousals in diff erent pathological conditions. Either partial changes of one physiological variable or global and massive changes can be observed. (Series B)Contributions by: R. L. Ariagno, M. Mirmiran & R. A. Darnall; V. Bach, F. Telliez, P.

Body image and Body schemaInterdisciplinary perspectives on the bodyEdited by Helena De Preester and Veroniek KnockaertGhent University

Th e body, as the common ground for objectivity and (inter)subjectivity, is a phenomenon with a perplexing plurality of registers. Th erefore, this innovative volume off ers an interdisciplinary approach from the fi elds of neuroscience, phenomenology and psychoanalysis. Th e concepts of body image and body schema have a fi rm tradition in each of these disciplines and make up the conceptual anchors of this volume.Challenged by neuropathological phenomena, neuroscience has dealt with body image and body schema since the beginning

of the twentieth century. Halfway through the twentieth century, phenomenology was inspired by child development and elaborated a specifi cally phenomenological account of body image and schema. Starting from the mirror stage, this source of inspiration is shared with psychoanalysis which develops the concept of body image in interaction with the clinic of the singular subject. In this volume, the creative encounter of these three perspectives on the body opens up present-day paths for conceptualisation, research and (clinical) practice. (Series B)Contributions by: A.

Brain and BeingAt the boundary between science, philosophy, language and artsEdited by Gordon G. Globus, Karl H. Pribram and Giuseppe VitielloUniversity of California, Irvine / Georgetown University / University of Salerno

Th is book results from a group meeting held at the Institute for Scientifi c Exchange in Torino, Italy. Th e central aim was for scientists to “think together” in new ways with those in the humanities inspired by quantum theory and especially quantum brain theory. Th ese fi elds of inquiry have suff ered conceptual estrangement but now are ripe for rapprochement, if academic parochialism is put aside. A prevalent theme of the book is a moving away from individual elements and individual actors acting upon each other, toward a coordinate hermeneutic

dynamics that manifests as a coherent totality. Among the topics covered are image in photography and in neuroscience; language; time; brain and mathematics; quantum brain dynamics and quantum communication.Contributions by: Fabrizio Desideri; Martin Fleischmann; Georg Franck; Emilio Del Giudice; Gordon G.

The Building Blocks of meaningIdeas for a philosophical grammarMichele PrandiBologna, Italy

Th e shaping of complex meanings depends on punctual and relational coding and inferencing. Coding is viewed as a vector which can run either from expression to content or from concepts to (linguistic) forms to mark independent conceptual relations. While coding relies on systematic resources internal to language, inferencing essentially depends on a layered system of autonomous shared conceptual structures, which include both cognitive models and consistency criteria grounded in a natural ontology. Inference guided by coding is not a residual pragmatic

device but it is a direct way to long-term conceptual structures that guide the connection of meanings.Th e interaction of linguistic forms and concepts is particularly clear in conceptual confl ict where confl ictual complex meanings provide insights into the roots of signifi cance and the linguistic structure of metaphors.Complementing a formal analysis of linguistic structures with a substantive analysis of conceptual structures, a philosophical grammar provides insights from both formal and functional approaches toward a more profound understanding of how language works in constructing and communicating complex meanings. Th is monograph is ideally addressed to linguists, philosophers and psychologists interested in language as symbolic form and as an instrument of human action rooted in a complex conceptual and cognitive landscape.[Human Cognitive Processing, 13] 2004. xviii, 521 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2365 4 EUR 135.00 / 978 1 58811 526 3 USD 162.00��

Caging the BeastA theory of sensory consciousnessPaula DroegePennsylvania State University, Pennsylvania

A major obstacle for materialist theories of the mind is the problem of sensory consciousness. How could a physical brain produce conscious sensory states that exhibit the rich and luxurious qualities of red velvet, a Mozart concerto or fresh-brewed coff ee? Caging the Beast: A Th eory of Sensory Consciousness off ers to explain what these conscious sensory states have in common, by virtue of being conscious as opposed to unconscious states. Aft er arguing against accounts of consciousness in terms of higher-order representation of mental states, the theory claims that sensory

consciousness is a special way we have of representing the world. Th e book also introduces a way of thinking about subjectivity as separate and more fundamental than consciousness, and considers how this foundational notion can be developed into more elaborate varieties. An appendix reviews the connection between consciousness and attention with an eye toward providing a neuropsychological instantiation of the proposed theory.

Categorization in the history of englishEdited by Christian J. Kay and Jeremy J. SmithUniversity of Glasgow

Th e papers in this volume are linked by a common concern, which is at the centre of current linguistic enquiry: how do we classify and categorize linguistic data, and how does this process add to our understanding of linguistic change? Th e scene is set by Aitchison’s paper on the development of linguistic categorization over the past few decades, followed by Biggam’s critical overview of theoretical developments in colour semantics. Lexical classifi cation in action is discussed in papers by Fischer, Kay and Sylvester on the structures of thesauruses,

while detailed treatments of particular semantic areas are off ered by Kleparski, Mikołajczuk, O’Hare and Peters. Papers by Lass, Laing and Williamson, and Smith are concerned with the nature of linguistic evidence in the context of the historical record, off ering new insights into text typology, scribal language and vowel classifi cation.

The Categorization of spatial entities in language and CognitionEdited by Michel Aurnague, Maya Hickmann and Laure VieuCNRS - Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail / CNRS - Université de Paris VIII / CNRS - Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse III

Despite a growing interest for space in language, most research has focused on spatial markers specifying the static or dynamic relationships among entities (verbs, prepositions, postpositions, case markings…). Little attention has been paid to the very properties of spatial entities, their status in linguistic descriptions, and their implications for spatial cognition and its development in children. Th is topic is at the center of this book, that opens a new fi eld by sketching some major theoretical and methodological directions for future research on spatial entities. It brings

together linguistic descriptions of spatial systems, formal accounts of linguistic data, and experimental fi ndings from psycholinguistic studies, all couched within a wide cross-linguistic perspective. Such an interdisciplinary approach provides a rich overview of the many questions that remain unanswered in relation to spatial entities, while also throwing a new light on previous research focusing on related topics concerning space and/or the relation between language and cognition.Contributions by: Nicholas Asher; Michel Aurnague, Maud Champagne, Laure Vieu, Andrée Borillo, Philippe Muller, Jean-Luc Nespoulous & Laure Sarda; Michel Aurnague, Maya Hickmann & Laure Vieu; Andrée Borillo; Melissa F.

Cognition and TechnologyCo-existence, convergence and co-evolutionEdited by Barbara Gorayska and Jacob L. MeyUniversity of Cambridge / University of Southern Denmark

Th is new collection of contributions to the fi eld of Cognitive Technology (CT) provides the (to date) widest spectrum of the state of the art in the discipline — a disciple dedicated to humane factors in tool design. Th e reader will fi nd here a summary of past research as well as an overview of new areas for future investigations. Th e collection contains an extensive CT agenda identifying many as yet unsolved, CT-related, design issues. An exciting new development is the concept of

‘natural technology’. Some examples of natural technologies are discussed and the merits of

empirical investigations (into what they are and how they develop), of interest to cognitive scientists and designers of new (corrective, digital) technologies, are pointed out. Another distinctive feature of the collection is that it provides examples of scientists’ tools; important, too, is its emphasis on ethics in tool design. Th e collection ends with a provocative coda (any responses can appear in the new, annual, CT forum of the Pragmatics and Cognition journal). Th e collection will appeal to all scientists, humanists and professionals interested in the interface between human cognitive processes and the technologies that augment them.Contributions by: Syed Mustafa Ali; Sarah Bowman, Lisa Hinkley, Jim Barnes & Roger Lindsay; Sanjay Chandrasekharan; Andy Clark; Marcelo Dascal; Kerstin Dautenhahn; Hanan Abdulwahab El Ashegh & Roger Lindsay; Will Fitzgerald; Satinder P.

Cognitive and Communicative approaches to linguistic analysisEdited by Ellen Contini-Morava, Robert S. Kirsner and Betsy Rodríguez-BachillerUniversity of Virginia / University of California, Los Angeles / Kean University

Th is volume is the product of a Columbia School Linguistics Conference held at Rutgers University in October , where the plenary speaker was Ronald W. Langacker, a founder of Cognitive Linguistics. Th e goal of the book is to promote two kinds of dialogue. First, dialogue between Cognitive Grammar and the particular sign-based approach to language known as the Columbia School. While they share certain basic assumptions, the “maximalist” CG and the “minimalist” CS diff er both theoretically and methodologically. Given that philosophers from Mill to Kuhn

to Feyerabend have stressed the importance to any discipline of dialogue between opposing views, the dialogue begun here cannot fail to bear fruit. Th e second kind of dialogue is that among several sign-based approaches themselves and also between them and two competitors: grammaticalization theory and generic functionalism. Topics range from phonology to discourse. Analytical problems are taken from a wide range of languages including English, German, Guarani, Hebrew, Hualapai, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Urdu, and Yaqui.Contributions by: Joseph Davis; Mark J.

perception, emotion, categorisation, abstraction processes, and reasoning. All these cognitive abilities may interact with language and be infl uenced by language.

Cognitive linguistics investigationsAcross languages, fi elds and philosophical boundariesEdited by June LuchjenbroersUniversity of Wales at Bangor

Th e total body of papers presented in this volume captures research across a variety of languages and language groups, to show how particular elements of linguistic description draw on otherwise separate aspects (or fi elds) of linguistic investigation. As such, this volume captures a diversity of research interest from the fi eld of cognitive linguistics. Th ese areas include: lexical semantics, cognitive grammar, metaphor, prototypes, pragmatics, narrative and discourse, computational and translation models; and are considered within the contexts of: language change, child language acquisition,

language and culture, grammatical features and word order and gesture. Despite possible diff erences in philosophical approach to the role of language in cognitive tasks, these papers are similar in a fundamental way: they all share a commitment to the view that human categorization involves mental concepts that have fuzzy boundaries and are culturally and situation-based.Contributions by: Seana Coulson & Todd Oakley; Cliff Goddard; David Gough; Iraide Ibarretxe-Antuñano; Maarten Lemmens; Ping Li; June Luchjenbroers; Teenie Matlock; Gary B.

Cognitive semantics and scientifi c KnowledgeCase studies in the cognitive science of scienceAndrás KertészUniversity of Debrecen

Th e book focuses on the question of how and to what extent cognitive semantic approaches can contribute to the new fi eld of the cognitive science of science. Th e argumentation is based on a series of instructive case studies which are intended to test the prospects and limits of the metascientifi c application of both holistic and modular cognitive semantics. Th e case studies show that, while cognitive semantic research is able to solve problems which have traditionally been the domain of the philosophy of science, it also encounters serious limits. Th e prospects and the limits

thus revealed suggest new research topics which in future can be tackled by cognitive semantic approaches to the cognitive science of science.[Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research, 4] 2004. viii, 261 pp.Hb 978 90 272 3890 0 EUR 85.00 / 978 1 58811 501 0 USD 102.00��

Consciousness & emotionAgency, conscious choice, and selective perceptionEdited by Ralph D. Ellis and Natika NewtonClark Atlanta University / Nassau County Community College, NY

Th e papers in this volume of Consciousness & Emotion Book Series are organized around the theme of “enaction.” Enactive emotional processes are not merely the recipients of information or the passive victims of input and learning. Th e organism fi rst is engaged in an ongoing, complex pattern of self-organizational activity, for the purpose of maintaining a dynamical continuity of pattern across changes of subserving micro-constituents and environmental conditions, making use of multiple shunt mechanisms, feedback loops, and other complex dynamical

features. Self-organizational structure is used to distinguish between action and mere reaction. Accordingly, the papers of this volume by leading students of emotion such as Jaak Panksepp, Luc Ciompi, Th omas Natsoulas, Farzaneh Pahlavan, Michela Balconi, Todd Lubart, Louise Sundararajan, Jordan Petersen and others address three main issues: I.

Consciousness emergingThe dynamics of perception, imagination, action, memory, thought, and languageRenate BartschUniversity of Amsterdam

Th is study of the workings of neural networks in perception and understanding of situations and simple sentences shows that, and how, distributed conceptual constituents are bound together in episodes within an interactive/dynamic architecture of sensorial and pre-motor maps, and maps of conceptual indicators (semantic memory) and individuating indicators (historical, episodic memory). Activation circuits between these maps make sensorial and pre-motor fi elds in the brain function as episodic maps creating representations, which are expressions in

consciousness. It is argued that all consciousness is episodic, consisting of situational or linguistic representations, and that the mind is the whole of all conscious manifestations of the brain. Th ought occurs only in the form of linguistic or image representations. Th e book also discusses the role of consciousness in the relationship between causal and denotational semantics, and its role for the possibility of representations and rules. Four recent controversies in consciousness research are discussed and decided along this model of consciousness:• Is consciousness an internal or external monitoring device of brain states?• Do all conscious states involve thought and judgement?• Are there diff erent kinds of consciousness?• Do we have a one-on-one correspondence between certain brain states and conscious states.Th e book discusses also the role of consciousness in the relationship between causal and denotational semantics, and its role for the possibility of representations and rules.

Consciousness evolvingEdited by James H. FetzerUniversity of Minnesota

A collection of stimulating studies on the past, the present, and the future of consciousness, Consciousness Evolving contributes to understanding some of the most important conceptual problems of our time. Th e advent of the modern synthesis together with the human genome project aff ords a platform for considering what it is that makes humans distinctive. Beginning with an essay that accents the nature of the problem within a behavioristic framework and concluding with refl ections on the prospects for a form of immortality through serial cloning, the

chapters are divided into three sections, which concern how and why consciousness may have evolved, special capacities involving language, creativity, and mentality as candidates for evolved adaptations, and the prospects for artifi cial evolution though the design of robots with specifi c forms of consciousness and mind. Th is volume should appeal to every reader who wants to better understand the human species, including its distinctive properties and its place in nature.

Consciousness RecoveredPsychological functions and origins of conscious thoughtGeorge MandlerUniversity of California, San Diego

Th is integrated approach to the psychology of consciousness arises out of Mandler’s paper that was seminal in starting the current fl ood of interest in consciousness. Th e book starts with this paper, followed by a novel psychological/evolutionary theoretical discussion of consciousness, and then a historically oriented presentation of relevant functions of consciousness, from memory to attention to emotion, drawing in part on Mandler’s publications between and .Th e manuscript is controversial; it is outspoken and oft en judgmental. Th e book

does not address speculations about the neurophysiological/brain bases of consciousness, arguing that these are premature, and it is highly critical of philosophical speculations, oft en ungrounded in any empirical observations.

Consciousness, emotional self-Regulation and the BrainEdited by Mario BeauregardUniversité de Montréal

During the last decade, the study of emotional self-regulation has blossomed in a variety of sub-disciplines belonging to either psychology (developmental, clinical) or the neurosciences (cognitive and aff ective). Consciousness, Emotional Self-Regulation and the Brain gives an overview of the current state of this relatively new scientifi c fi eld. Several areas are examined by some of the leading theorists and researchers in this emerging domain. Most chapters seek to either present theoretical and developmental perspectives about emotional self-regulation (and dysregulation), provide

cutting edge information with regard to the neural basis of conscious emotional experience and emotional self-regulation, or expound theoretical models susceptible of explaining how healthy individuals are capable of consciously and voluntarily changing the neural activity underlying emotional processes and states. In addition, a few chapters consider the capacity of human consciousness to volitionally infl uence the brain’s electrical activity or modulate the impact of emotions on the psychoneuroendocrine-immune network. Th is book will undoubtedly be useful to scholars and graduate students interested in the relationships between self-consciousness, emotion, the brain, and the body.

Construction grammar in a Cross-language PerspectiveEdited by Mirjam Fried and Jan-Ola ÖstmanPrinceton University / University of Helsinki

Th is volume gives an easily accessible, yet comprehensive, sophisticated, and example-rich introduction to Construction Grammar as it has been developed from the early ’s by Charles J. Fillmore and his associates. It also provides a succinct account of the historical and intellectual background of the model and shows how Construction Grammar can easily be applied to typologically very diff erent languages and to a variety of language-specifi c phenomena. All of the contributors to the volume came out of the Fillmorean school at UC-Berkeley and have worked consistently

on applying and further developing the model in various domains of linguistic analysis.Contributions by: Mirjam Fried; Mirjam Fried & Jan-Ola Östman; Seiko Fujii; Knud Lambrecht; Jan-Ola Östman & Mirjam Fried.[Constructional Approaches to Language, 2] 2004. vi, 209 pp.Hb 978 90 272 1822 3 EUR 95.00 / 978 1 58811 578 2 USD 114.00��

Construction grammarsCognitive grounding and theoretical extensionsEdited by Jan-Ola Östman and Mirjam FriedUniversity of Helsinki / Princeton University

Th e notion ‘construction’ has become indispensable in present-day linguistics and in language studies in general. Th is volume extends the traditional domain of Construction Grammar (CxG) in several directions, all with a cognitive basis. Addressing a number of issues (such as coercion, discourse patterning, language change), the contributions show how CxG must be part and parcel of cognitively oriented studies of language, including language universals. Th e volume also gives informative accounts of how the notion ‘construction’ is

Context as other mindsThe Pragmatics of Sociality, Cognition and CommunicationT. GivónUniversity of Oregon

Givon’s new book re-casts pragmatics, and most conspicuously the pragmatics of sociality and communication, in neuro-cognitive, bio-adaptive, evolutionary terms. Th e fact that context, the core notion of pragmatics, is a framing operation undertaken on the fl y through judgements of relevance, has been well known since Aristotle, Kant and Peirce. But the context that is relevant to the pragmatics of sociality and communication is a highly specifi c mental operation — the mental modeling of the interlocutor’s current, rapidly shift ing belief-and-intention states.

Th e construed context of social interaction and communication is thus a mental representation of other minds. Following a condensed intellectual history of pragmatics, the book investigates the adaptive pragmatics of lexical-semantic categories — the st-order framing of “reality”, what cognitive psychologists call “semantic memory”. Utilizing the network model, the book then takes a fresh look at the adaptive underpinnings of metaphoric meaning. Th e core chapters of the book outline the re-interpretation of “communicative context” as the systematic, on-line construction of mental models of the interlocutor’s current, rapidly-shift ing states of belief and intention. Th is grand theme is elaborated through examples from the grammar of referential coherence, verbal modalities and clause-chaining. In its fi nal chapters, the book pushes pragmatics beyond its traditional bounds, surveying its interdisciplinary implications for philosophy of science, theory of personality, personality disorders and the calculus of social interaction.2005. xvi, 283 pp.Hb 978 90 272 3226 7 EUR 115.00 / 978 1 58811 592 8 USD 138.00Pb 978 90 272 3227 4 EUR 39.00 / 978 1 58811 593 5 USD 46.95��

Controversies and subjectivityEdited by Pierluigi Barrotta and Marcelo DascalItalian Culture Institute in London, University of Pisa / Tel Aviv University

Th is collective volume focuses on two closely connected issues whose common denominator is the embattled notion of the subject. Th e fi rst concerns the controversies on the nature of the subject and related notions, such as the concepts of ‘I’ and ‘self ’. From both theoretical and historical viewpoints, several of the contributors show how diff erent and incompatible perspectives on the subject can help us understand today’s world, its habits, style, power relations, and attitudes. For this purpose, use is made of insights in a broad range of disciplines, such as sociology,

psychoanalysis, pragmatics, intellectual history, and anthropology. Th is interdisciplinary approach helps to clarify the multifaceted character of the subject and the role it plays nowadays as well as over the centuries.Th e second issue concerns the subject in inter-personal as well as in intra-personal controversies. Th e enquiry here focuses on the ways in which diff erent aspects of the subject and subjective diff erences aff ect the conduct, content, and rationality of controversies with others as well as within oneself on a variety of topics. Among such aspects, the contributors analyse the subject’s emotions, cognitive states, argumentative practices, and individual and collective identity. Th e interaction between the two issues, the controversies on the subject and the subject of controversies, sheds new light on the debate on modernity and its alleged crisis.Contributions by: Omar Barghouti; Pierluigi Barrotta; Adelino Cattani; Han-liang Chang; Frédéric Cossutta; Marcelo Dascal; Ademar Ferreira; Gerd Fritz; Shai Frogel; Th omas Gloning; Alan G.

Creative Compounding in englishThe Semantics of Metaphorical and Metonymical Noun-Noun CombinationsRéka BenczesEötvös Loránd University

Metaphorical and metonymical compounds – novel and lexicalised ones alike – are remarkably abundant in language. Yet how can we be sure that when using an expression such as land fi shing in order to speak about metal detecting, the referent will be immediately understood even if the hearer had not been previously familiar with the compound? Accordingly, this book sets out to explore whether the semantics of metaphorical and metonymical noun–noun combinations can be systematically analysed within a theoretical framework, where systematicity pertains

to regularities in both the cognitive processes and the products of these processes, that is, the compounds themselves. Backed up by recent psycholinguistic evidence, the book convincingly demonstrates that such compounds are not semantically opaque as it has been formerly claimed: they can in fact be analysed and accounted for within a cognitive linguistic framework, by the combined application of metaphor, metonymy, blending, profi le determinacy and schema theory; and represent the creative and associative word formation processes that we regularly apply in everyday language.[Human Cognitive Processing, 19] 2006. xvi, 206 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2373 9 EUR 105.00 / USD 126.00��

Creativity and ConventionThe pragmatics of everyday fi gurative speechRosa E. Vega-MorenoUniversity College, London

Th is book off ers a pragmatic account of the interpretation of everyday metaphorical and idiomatic expressions. Using the framework of relevance theory, it reanalyses the results of recent experimental research on fi gurative utterances and provides a novel account of the interplay of creativity and convention in fi gurative interpretation, showing how features

‘emerge’ during metaphor comprehension and how literal meaning contributes to idiom comprehension. Th e central claim is that the mind is rather selective when processing information, and that in the

pragmatic interpretation of both literal and fi gurative utterances, this selectivity oft en results in the creation of new (‘ad hoc’) concepts or the standardization of pragmatic routines. On this approach, the comprehension of metaphors and idioms requires no special pragmatic principles or procedures not required for the interpretation of ordinary literal utterances, but follows from an automatic tendency towards selective processing which is itself a by-product of Sperber and Wilson’s Cognitive Principle of Relevance.[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 156] 2007. xii, 243 pp. + indexHb 978 90 272 5399 6 EUR 105.00 / USD 126.00

Curious emotionsRoots of consciousness and personality in motivated actionRalph D. EllisClark Atlanta University

Emotion drives all cognitive processes, largely determining their qualitative feel, their structure, and in part even their content. Action-initiating centers deep in the emotional brain ground our understanding of the world by enabling us to imagine how we could act relative to it, based on endogenous motivations to engage certain levels of energy and complexity. Th us understanding personality, cognition, consciousness and action requires examining the workings of dynamical systems applied to emotional processes in living organisms. If an object’s meaning depends on

its action aff ordances, then understanding intentionality in emotion or cognition requires exploring why emotion is the bridge between action and representational processes such as thought or imagery; and this requires integrating phenomenology with neurophysiology. Th e resulting viewpoint, “enactivism,” entails specifi c new predictions, and suggests that emotions are about the self-initiated actions of dynamical systems, not reactive “responses” to external events; consciousness is more about motivated anticipation than reaction to inputs.

emotional CognitionFrom brain to behaviourEdited by Simon C. Moore and Mike OaksfordUniversity of York / University of Cardiff

Emotional Cognition gives the reader an up to date overview of the current state of emotion and cognition research that is striving for computationally explicit accounts of the relationship between these two domains. Many diff erent areas are covered by some of the leading theorists and researchers in this area and the book crosses a range of domains, from the neurosciences through cognition and formal models to philosophy. Specifi c chapters consider, amongst other things, the role of emotion in decision-making, the representation and evaluation of emotive

events, the relationship of aff ect on working memory and goal regulation. Th e emergence of such an integrative, computational, approach in emotion and cognition research is a unique and exciting development, one that will be of interest to established scholars as much as graduate students feeling their way in this area, and applicable to research in applied as well as purely theoretical domains.

The evolution of human languageScenarios, principles, and cultural dynamicsWolfgang WildgenUniversity of Bremen

Wolfgang Wildgen presents three perspectives on the evolution of language as a key element in the evolution of mankind in terms of the development of human symbol use. () He approaches this question by constructing possible scenarios in which mechanisms necessary for symbolic behavior could have developed, on the basis of the state of the art in evolutionary anthropology and genetics. () Non-linguistic symbolic behavior such as cave art is investigated as an important clue to the developmental background to the origin of language. Creativity and innovation and

a population’s ability to integrate individual experiments are considered with regard to historical examples of symbolic creativity in the visual arts and natural sciences. () Probable linguistic ‘fossils’ of such linguistic innovations are examined. Th e results of this study allow for new proposals for a ‘protolanguage’ and for a theory of language within a broader philosophical and semiotic framework, and raises interesting questions as to human consciousness, universal grammar, and linguistic methodology.

exploring inner experienceThe descriptive experience sampling methodRussell T. Hurlburt and Christopher L. HeaveyUniversity of Nevada, Las Vegas

Written for the psychologist, philosopher, and layperson interested in consciousness, Exploring Inner Experience provides a comprehensive introduction to the Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) method for obtaining accurate reports of inner experience. DES uses a beeper to cue participants to pay attention to their experience at precisely defi ned moments; participants are then interviewed to obtain high-fi delity accounts of their experience at those moments. Exploring Inner Experience shows (a) how DES uncovers previously unknown details

of inner experience; (b) how the implications of this method aff ect our understanding of inner experience and the human condition more generally; (c) how DES avoids the traps that destroyed the introspections of the previous century; (d) why DES reports of inner experience should be considered reliable and valid; and (e) how to use the DES method. Th is book will be basic reading for all psychologists, philosophers, and students interested in consciousness, as well as anyone who is seriously concerned with understanding the human condition.(Series B)[Advances in Consciousness Research, 64] 2006. xii, 276 pp.Hb 978 90 272 5200 5 EUR 105.00 / USD 126.00��


From sign to signingWolfgang G. Müller and Olga FischerFriedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena / University of Amsterdam

Th is volume, a sequel to Form Miming Meaning () and Th e Motivated Sign (), off ers a selection of papers given at the Th ird International Symposium on Iconicity in Language and Literature (Jena ). Th e studies collected here present a number of new departures. Special consideration is given to the way non-linguistic visual and auditory signs (such as gestures and bird sounds) are represented in language, and more specifi cally in ‘signed’ language, and how such signs infl uence semantic conceptualization. Other studies examine more closely how visual signs

and representations of time and space are incorporated or refl ected in literary language, in fi ction as well as (experimental) poetry. A further new approach concerns intermedial iconicity, which emerges in art when its medium is changed or another medium is imitated. A more abstract, diagrammatic type of iconicity is again investigated, with reference to both language and literature: some essays focus on the device of reduplication, isomorphic tendencies in word formation and on creative iconic patterns in syntax, while others explore numerical design in Dante and geometrical patterning in Dylan Th omas. A number of theoretically-oriented papers pursue post-Peircean approaches, such as the application of reader-response theory and of systems theory to iconicity.Contributions by: Matthias Bauer; C.

Functional Constraints in grammarOn the unergative–unaccusative distinctionSusumu Kuno and Ken-ichi TakamiHarvard University / Tokyo Metropolitan University

Th is book examines in detail the acceptability status of sentences in the following fi ve English constructions, and elucidates the syntactic, semantic, and functional requirements that the constructions must satisfy in order to be appropriately used: Th ere-Construction, (One’s) Way Construction, Cognate Object Construction, Pseudo-Passive Construction, and Extraposition from Subject NPs. It has been argued in the frameworks of Chomskyan generative grammar, relational grammar, conceptual semantics and other syntactic theories that the acceptability of sentences in

these constructions can be accounted for by the unergative–unaccusative distinction of intransitive verbs. However, this book shows through a wide range of sentences that none of these constructions is sensitive to this distinction. For each construction, it shows that acceptability status is determined by a given sentence’s semantic function as it interacts with syntactic constraints (which are independent of the unergative–unaccusative distinction), and with functional constraints that apply to it in its discourse context.Contributions by: Karen Courtenay & Nan Decker.[Constructional Approaches to Language, 1] 2004. ix, 242 pp.Hb 978 90 272 1821 6 EUR 99.00 / 978 1 58811 555 3 USD 119.00��

Informed by a better understanding of how diff erent constructions are positioned both synchronically (e.g., on a semantic map) and diachronically (e.g., through grammaticalization processes), the volume aff ords a comprehensive up-to-date perspective on the perennial issues in the grammar of causation such as the distribution

of competing causative morphemes, the meaning distinctions among them, and the overall form-meaning correlation. Morphosyntactic interactions of causatives with other phenomena such as incorporation and applicativization receive focused attention as such basic issues as the semantic distinction between direct and indirect causation and the typology of causative constructions.Contributions by: Michel Achard; Philip W.

higher-order Theories of ConsciousnessAn AnthologyEdited by Rocco J. GennaroIndiana State University

Higher-Order (HO) theories of consciousness have in common the idea that what makes a mental state conscious is that it is the object of some kind of higher-order representation. Th is volume presents fourteen previously unpublished essays both defending and criticizing this approach to the problem of consciousness. It is the fi rst anthology devoted entirely to HO theories of consciousness. Th ere are several kinds of HO theory, such as the HOT (higher-order thought) and HOP (higher-order perception) models, and each is discussed and debated. Part One contains

essays by authors who defend some form of HO theory. Part Two includes papers by those who are critics of the HO approach. Some of the topics covered include animal consciousness, misrepresentation, the nature of pain, subvocal speech, subliminal perception, blindsight, the nature of emotion, the diff erence between perception and thought, fi rst-order versus higher-order theories of consciousness, and the relationship between nonconscious and conscious mentality.

idiomatic CreativityA cognitive-linguistic model of idiom-representation and idiom-variation in EnglishAndreas LanglotzUniversity of Basel

Th is book revisits the theoretical and psycholinguistic controversies centred around the intriguing nature of idioms and proposes a more systematic cognitive-linguistic model of their grammatical status and use. Whenever speakers vary idioms in actual discourse, they open a linguistic window into idiomatic creativity – the complex cognitive processing and representation of these heterogeneous linguistic constructions. Idiomatic creativity therefore raises two challenging questions: What are the cognitive mechanisms that underlie and shape idiom-representation? How

do these mechanisms defi ne the scope and limits of systematic idiom-variation in actual discourse? Th e book approaches these problems by means of a comprehensive cognitive-linguistic architecture of meaning and language and analyses them on the basis of corpus-data from the British National Corpus (BNC). Th erefore, Idiomatic Creativity should be of great interest to cognitive linguists, phraseologists, corpus linguists, advanced students of linguistics, and all readers who are interested in the fascinating interplay of language and cognitive processing.Th is book has a companion website: www.idiomatic-creativity.ch .[Human Cognitive Processing, 17] 2006. xii, 326 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2370 8 EUR 120.00 / USD 144.00��

imagery and spatial CognitionMethods, models and cognitive assessmentEdited by Tomaso Vecchi and Gabriella BottiniUniversità di Pavia

Th e relationships between perception and imagery, imagery and spatial processes, memory and action: these are the main themes of this text. Th e interest in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience on imagery and spatial cognition has remarkably increased in the last decades. Diff erent areas of research contribute to the clarifi cation of the multiple cognitive processes subserving spatial perception and exploration, and to the defi nition of the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning these cognitive functions. Th e aim of this book is to provide

the reader (post-graduate students as well as experts) with a complete overview of this fi eld of research. It illustrates how brain, behaviour and cognition interact in normal and pathological subjects in perceiving, representing and exploring space.(Series B)Contributions by: Gabriella Bottini, Martina Gandola, Lorenzo Pia & Anna Berti; Zaira Cattaneo, Maria Chiara Fastame, Tomaso Vecchi & Cesare Cornoldi; Elena Cavallini & Tomaso Vecchi; Michel Denis & Grégoire Borst; Dario Grossi, Massimiliano Conson & Luigi Trojano; Cecilia Guariglia & Luigi Pizzamiglio; Christopher Hertzog & John Dunlosky; Maria-Dolores de Hevia, Giuseppe Vallar & Luisa Girelli; Roy P.C.

The importance of Not Being earnestThe feeling behind laughter and humorWallace ChafeUniversity of California, Santa Barbara

Th e thesis of this book is that neither laughter nor humor can be understood apart from the feeling that underlies them. Th is feeling is a mental state in which people exclude some situation from their knowledge of how the world really is, thereby inhibiting seriousness where seriousness would be counterproductive. Laughter is viewed as an expression of this feeling, and humor as a set of devices designed to trigger it because it is so pleasant and distracting. Beginning with phonetic analyses of laughter, the book examines ways in which the feeling behind the laughter is elicited by

both humorous and nonhumorous situations. It discusses properties of this feeling that justify its inclusion in the repertoire of human emotions. Against this background it illustrates the creation of humor in several folklore genres and across several cultures. Finally, it reconciles this understanding with various already familiar ways of explaining humor and laughter.[Consciousness & Emotion Book Series, 3] 2007. xiv, 167 pp.Hb 978 90 272 4152 8 EUR 99.00 / USD 119.00��

(in)vulnerable Domains in multilingualismEdited by Natascha MüllerUniversity of Hamburg

Th e focus of this collection of essays is on the acquisition of so called vulnerable and invulnerable grammatical domains in multilingualism. Language acquisition is studied from a comparative perspective, mostly in the framework of generative grammar. Diff erent types of multilingualism are compared, the existence of multiple grammars in L acquisition, simultaneous L acquisition (balanced and unbalanced bilingualism) and successive L acquisition (child and adult L acquisition). Evidence from the language pairs French-German,

Italian-Swedish, Spanish-English, Spanish-German, Spanish-Basque, Portuguese-Japanese-English, Portuguese-German, English-German, Turkish-German is brought to bear on grammatical issues pertaining to the morphology and syntax of the noun phrase, pronoun use and the null-subject property, clause structure, verb position, non-fi nite clauses, agreement at the clause level, and on issues like code mixing and language dominance.Contributions by: Petra Bernardini; Margaret Deuchar & Rachel Muntz; Maria-José Ezeizabarrena; Ira Gawlitzek-Maiwald; Annette Herkenrath, Birsel Karakoç & Jochen Rehbein; Marc-Olivier Hinzelin; Mary Aizawa Kato; Tanja Kupisch; Conxita Lleó, Imme Kuchenbrandt, Margaret Kehoe & Cristina Trujillo; Anja Möhring & Jürgen M.

inference and anticipation in simultaneous interpretingA probability-prediction modelGhelly V. ChernovEdited with a critical foreword by Robin Setton and Adelina Hild

Until now, Ghelly Chernov’s work on the theory of simultaneous interpretation (SI) was mostly accessible only to a Russian-speaking readership. Finally, Chernov’s major work, originally published in Russia in under the title Основы Синхронного Перевода (Introduction to Simultaneous Interpretation) and widely considered a classic in interpretation theory, is now available in English as well. Adopting a psycholinguistic approach to professional SI, Chernov defi nes it as a task performed in a single pass concurrently with the source language speech,

under extreme perception and production conditions in which only a limited amount of information can be processed at any given time. Being both a researcher and a practitioner, Chernov drew from a rich interpreting corpus to create the fi rst comprehensive model of simultaneous interpretation. His model draws on semantics, pragmatics, Russian Activity Th eory and the SI communicative situation to formulate the principles of objective and subjective redundancy and identify probability prediction as the enabling mechanism of SI. Edited with notes and a critical foreword by two active SI researchers, Robin Setton and Adelina Hild, this book will be useful to practicing interpreters in providing a theoretical basis for appreciating the syntactic and other devices that can be used by both students and experienced interpreters in fi ne-tuning their performance in the booth.[Benjamins Translation Library, 57] 2004. xxx, 268 pp.Hb 978 90 272 1663 2 EUR 115.00 / 978 1 58811 583 6 USD 138.00��

insistent imagesEdited by Elżbieta Tabakowska, Christina Ljungberg and Olga FischerJagiellonian University, Krakow / University of Zurich / University of Amsterdam

Insistent Images presents a number of new departures dealing with iconicity on the structural and conceptual levels. Novel approaches to aural iconicity investigate the relationship between iconic features in literature and the nineteenth century practice of reading aloud, its use as almost magic incantations in fi n-de siècle poetry or its importance for Tolkien’s invented languages. Several papers examine the function of iconicity in visual and - in particular in avant-garde - poetry where iconic features allow a reduction of means, which, paradoxically,

generates textual diversifi cation and complexity. ‘Liberature’, which integrates text, image and physical space, is another novel area of study, as are the investigations into the iconic properties of fi lm and of multimedia performance. Film is, through its analogical relationship with the life-world, intrinsically iconic, while at the same time being, like photography, indexical. In multimedia performance, on the other hand, iconicity functions intermedially by both integrating and refl ecting processes of perception and conceptualization. As yet two new fi elds of inquiry, they further enhance this truly interdisciplinary volume’s explorations of icons as ‘insistent images’.Contributions by: Meike Adam, Wiebke Iversen, Erin Willkinson & Jill P.

interpretation and understandingMarcelo DascalTel Aviv University

Our species has been hunting for meaning ever since we departed from our cousins in the evolutionary tree. We developed sophisticated forms of communication. Yet, as much as they can convey meaning and foster understanding, they can also hide meaning and prevent comprehension. Indeed, we can never be sure that a “yes” conveys assent or that a smile reveals pleasure. In order to ascertain what communicative behavior “means”, we have to go through an elaborate cognitive process of interpretation.Th is book deals with how we achieve the

daily miracle of understanding each other. Based on the author ’s contributions to pragmatics, the book articulates his perspective using the insights of linguistics, the philosophy of language and rhetoric, and confronting alternatives to it. Th eory formation is shaped by application to fi elds of human activity – such as legal practice, artifi cial intelligence, psychoanalysis, the media, literature, aesthetics, ethics and politics

– where interpretation and understanding are paramount. Using an accessible language, this is a book addressed to specialists as well as to anyone interested in interpreting understanding and understanding the potentialities and limits of interpretation.2003. xxii, 714 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2604 4 EUR 160.00 / 978 1 58811 414 3 USD 192.00��

introduction to NeurolinguisticsElisabeth AhlsénGöteborg University

Th is introduction to neurolinguistics is intended for anybody who wants to acquire a grounding in the fi eld. It was written for students of linguistics and communication disorders, but students of psychology, neuroscience and other disciplines will also fi nd it valuable. Th e introductory section presents the theories, models and frameworks underlying modern neurolinguistics. Th en the neurolinguistic aspects of diff erent components of language – phonology, morphology, lexical semantics, and semantics-pragmatics in communication – are

discussed. Th e third section examines reading and writing, bilingualism, the evolution of language, and multimodality. Th e book also contains three resource chapters, one on techniques for investigating the brain, another on modeling brain functions, and a third that introduces the basic concepts of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology.

‘Kubla Khan’ – Poetic structure, hypnotic Quality and Cognitive styleA study in mental, vocal and critical performanceReuven TsurTel Aviv University

Th is book endorses Coleridge’s statement: “nothing can permanently please which does not contain in itself the reason why it is so”. It conceives ‘Kubla Khan’ as of a hypnotic poem, in which the “obtrusive rhythms” produce a hypnotic, emotionally heightened response, giving false security to the “Platonic Censor”, so that our imagination is left free to explore higher levels of uncertainty. Critics intolerant of uncertainty tend to account for the poem’s eff ect by extraneous background information. Th e book consists of three parts employing diff erent research methods. Part One is

speculative, and discusses three aspects of a complex aesthetic event: the verbal structure of ‘Kubla Khan’, validity in interpretation, and the infl uence of the critic’s decision style on his critical decisions. Th e other two parts are empirical. Part Two explores reader response to gestalt qualities of rhyme patterns and hypnotic poems in perspective of decision style and professional training. Part Th ree submits four recordings of the poem by leading British actors to instrumental investigation.[Human Cognitive Processing, 16] 2006. xii, 252 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2369 2 EUR 110.00 / USD 132.00

language, Vision and musicSelected papers from the 8th International Workshop on the Cognitive Science of Natural Language Processing, Galway, 1999Edited by Paul Mc Kevitt, Seán Ó Nualláin and Conn MulvihillUniversity of Ulster (Magee) / Nous Research, Dublin / National University of Ireland, Galway

Language, vision and music: what common cognitive patterns underlie our competence in these disparate modes of thought? Language (natural & formal), vision and music seem to share at least the following attributes: a hierarchical organisation of constituents, recursivity, metaphor, the possibility of self-reference, ambiguity, and systematicity. Can we propose the existence of a general symbol system with instantiations in these three modes or is the only commonality to be found at the level of such entities as cerebral columnar automata? Answers are

to be found in this international collection of work which recognises that one of the basic features of consciousness is its MultiModality, that there are possibilities to model this with contemporary technology, and that cross-cultural commonalities in the experience of, and creativity within, the various modalities are signifi cant. With the advent of Intelligent MultiMedia this aspect of consciousness implementation in mind/brain acquires new signifi cance.

linear unit grammarIntegrating speech and writingJohn McH. Sinclair and Anna MauranenTuscan Word Centre / University of Helsinki

People have a natural propensity to understand language text as a succession of smallish chunks, whether they are reading, writing, speaking or listening. Linguists have found that this propensity can shed light on the nature and structure of language, and there are many studies which attempt to harness the potential of natural chunking.Th is book explores the role of chunking in the description of discourse, especially spoken discourse. It appears that chunking off ers a sound but fl exible platform on which can be built a descriptive model which is more

open and comprehensive than more familiar approaches to structural description. Th e model remains linear, in that it avoids hierarchies, and it concentrates on the combinatorial patterns of text.Th e linear approach turns out to have many advantages, bringing together under one descriptive method a wide variety of diff erent styles of speech and writing. It is complementary to established grammars, but it raises pertinent questions about many of their assumptions.[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 25] 2006. xxii, 185 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2298 5 EUR 95.00 / USD 114.00Pb 978 90 272 2299 2 EUR 33.00 / USD 39.95��

making mindsThe shaping of human minds through social contextEdited by Petra Hauf and Friedrich FörsterlingSt. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, N.S. / Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München

Social stimuli are important proximate determinants of human thought, action, and behaviour. But does the social environment also have deeper, profounder, and possibly more distal impact on more lasting psychological structures and forms, generalizing across time and domains, such as traits, self-consciousness, abilities, and talents? Th is volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to the question of if, how, and how far the mind is socially fabricated: Philosophical contributions address conceptual tools for analyses of how person

perceivers shape the psychological structures of the person perceived. Social psychologists consider some of the more local mechanisms of “mind making”, including self fulfi lling prophecies, attributions, and self-verifi cation. Moreover, they address the dramatic consequences of being ostracised. From a clinical perspective it is investigated how patients’ immediate social environment (e.g., the family) impacts on schizophrenic relapse. In addition, developmental psychologists report on investigations of the role of social factors, e.g., imitative learning, for the development of the social self. Finally an ethological perspective demonstrates the susceptibility of animals to social stimuli.

manipulation and ideologies in the Twentieth CenturyDiscourse, language, mindEdited by Louis de Saussure and Peter SchulzUniversity of Neuchâtel / University of Lugano

Th is book is a collection of papers dealing with manipulation and ideology in the th century, mostly with reference to political speeches by the leaders of major totalitarian regimes, but also addressing propaganda within contemporary right-wing populism and western ideological rhetoric. Th is book aims at bringing together researchers in the fi eld of ideology reproduction in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of speaker-favourable belief inculcation through language use. Th e book covers a wide range of theoretical perspectives, from psychosocial

approaches and discourse analysis to semantics and cognitive linguistics and pragmatics.

memory and understandingConcept formation in Proust’s A la recherche du temps perduRenate BartschUniversity of Amsterdam

Th is book treats memory and understanding on two levels, on the phenomenological level of experience, on which a theory of dynamic conceptual semantics is built, and on the neuro-connectionist level, which supports the capacities of concept formation, remembering, and understanding. A neuro-connectionist circuit architecture of a constructive memory is developed in which understanding and remembering are modelled in accordance with the constituent structures of a dynamic conceptual semantics. Consciousness emerges by circuit activation between conceptual

indicators and episodic indices with the sensory-motor, emotional, and proprioceptual areas. Th is theory of concept formation, remembering, and understanding is applied to Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu , with special attention to the author’s excursions into philosophical and aesthetic issues. Under this perspective, Proust’s work can be seen as an artistic exploration into our capacity of understanding, whereby the unconscious, the memory, is exteriorized in consciousness by presenting the experienced episodes in the conceptual order of similarity and contiguity through our capacity of concept formation.

metonymy and Pragmatic inferencingEdited by Klaus-Uwe Panther and Linda L. Th ornburgUniversity of Hamburg

In recent years, conceptual metonymy has been recognized as a cognitive phenomenon that is as fundamental as metaphor for reasoning and the construction of meaning. Th e thoroughly revised chapters in the present volume originated as presentations in a workshop organized by the editors for the th International Pragmatics Conference held in Budapest in . Th ey constitute, according to an anonymous reviewer, “an interesting contribution to both cognitive linguistics and pragmatics.” Th e contributions aim to bridge the gap, and encourage discussion, between

cognitive linguists and scholars working in a pragmatic framework. Topics include the metonymic basis of explicature and implicature, the role of metonymically-based inferences in speech act and discourse interpretation, the pragmatic meaning of grammatical constructions, the impact of metonymic mappings on and their interaction with grammatical structure, the role of metonymic inferencing and implicature in linguistic change, and the comparison of metonymic principles across languages and diff erent cultural settings.Contributions by: Antonio Barcelona; Mario Brdar & Rita Brdar-Szabó; Seana Coulson & Todd Oakley; Klaus-Michael Köpcke & David A.

mind and CausalityEdited by Alberto PeruzziUniversity of Florence

• Which causal patterns are involved in mental processes?• On what mechanisms does the self-organisation of cognitive structure rest?• Can a naturalistic view account for the basic resources of intentionality, while avoiding the objections to reductive materialism?By considering the developmental, phenomenological and biological aspects linking mind and causality, this volume off ers a state-of-the art theoretical proposal

emphasising the fi ne-tuning of cognition with the complexity of bodily dynamics.In contrast to the de-coupling of mind from the physical environment in classical information-processing models, growth of brain’s architecture and stabilisation of perception –action cycles are considered decisive, with no need for an eliminative approach to representations pursued by neural network models. Th e tools provided by physics and biology for the description of massive causal interactions, on top of which ‘qualitative’ changes occur, are exploited to suggest a model of the mind as a many-layered, co-evolving system.

mirror Neurons and the evolution of Brain and languageEdited by Maxim I. Stamenov and Vittorio GalleseBulgarian Academy of Sciences / Università di Parma

Th e emergence of language, social intelligence, and tool development are what made homo sapiens sapiens diff erentiate itself from all other biological species in the world. Th e use of language and the management of social and instrumental skills imply an awareness of intention and the consideration that one faces another individual with an attitude analogical to that of one’s own. Th e metaphor of ‘mirror’ aptly comes to mind.Recent investigations have shown that the human ability to ‘mirror’ other’s actions originates in the brain at a much deeper level

than phenomenal awareness. A new class of neurons has been discovered in the premotor area of the monkey brain: ‘mirror neurons’. Quite remarkably, they are tuned to fi re to the enaction as well as observation of specifi c classes of behavior: fi ne manual actions and actions performed by mouth. Th ey become activated independent of the agent, be it the self or a third person whose action is observed. Th e activation in mirror neurons is automatic and binds the observation and enaction of some behavior by the self or by the observed other. Th e peculiar fi rst-to-third-person ‘intersubjectivity’ of the performance of mirror neurons and their surprising complementarity to the functioning of strategic communicative face-to-face (fi rst-to-second person) interaction may shed new light on the functional architecture of conscious vs. unconscious mental processes and the relationship between behavioral and communicative action in monkeys, primates, and humans. Th e present volume discusses the nature of mirror neurons as presented by the research team of Prof. Giacomo Rizzolatti (University of Parma), who originally discovered them, and the implications to our understanding of the evolution of brain, mind and communicative interaction in non-human primates and man.(Series B)Contributions by: Samuel W.

Th is volume contributes to the now one-century old question, ‘Is the link between forms and meanings in language essentially arbitrary, as Saussure put it, or is it on the contrary also considerably motivated?’ Th e greater part of the papers (Sections –) analyze linguistic phenomena in which not arbitrary, but cognitively motivated links between form and meaning play a role. As such, the contributions in Section examine selected aspects of motivation in the continuum between lexicon and grammar; the contributions in Section study the factors

underlying the range of (semantic) variants that attach to a particular lexical item; and papers in Section look at motivating factors in linguistic items situated in and conceptualizing the socio-cultural domain. A smaller set of papers in Section point to the role which learner motivation and attitudinal motivation may play in applied linguistics domains.Contributions by: Antonio Barcelona; William Croft ; René Dirven; Willis J.

multiple analogies in science and PhilosophyCameron ShelleyUniversity of Michigan

A multiple analogy is a structured comparison in which several sources are likened to a target. In Multiple analogies in science and philosophy, Shelley provides a thorough account of the cognitive representations and processes that participate in multiple analogy formation. Th rough analysis of real examples taken from the fi elds of evolutionary biology, archaeology, and Plato’s Republic, Shelley argues that multiple analogies are not simply concatenated single analogies but are instead the general form of analogical inference, of which single analogies are a special case. Th e

result is a truly general cognitive model of analogical inference.Shelley also shows how a cognitive account of multiple analogies addresses important philosophical issues such as the confi dence that one may have in an analogical explanation, and the role of analogy in science and philosophy.Th is book lucidly demonstrates that important questions regarding analogical inference cannot be answered adequately by consideration of single analogies alone.[Human Cognitive Processing, 11] 2003. xvi, 168 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2363 0 EUR 99.00 / 978 1 58811 402 0 USD 119.00��

Narrative – state of the artEdited by Michael BambergClark University

Narrative – State of the Art which was originally published as a Special Issue of Narrative Inquiry is edited by Michael Bamberg and contains chapters (with a brief introduction by the editor) that look back and take stock of developments in narrative theorizing and empirical work with narratives. Th e attempt has been made to bring together researchers from diff erent disciplines, with very diff erent concerns, and have them express their conceptions of the current state of the art from their perspectives. Looking back and taking stock, this volume further attempts to begin

to deliver answers to the questions (i) What was it that made the original turn to narrative so successful? (ii) What has been accomplished over the last years of narrative inquiry? (iii) What are the future directions for narrative inquiry? Th e contributions to this volume are deliberately kept short so that the readers can browse through them and get a feel about the diversity of current narrative theorizing and emerging new trends in narrative research. It is the ultimate aim of this edited volume to stir up discussions and dialogue among narrative researchers across these disciplines and to widen and open up the territory of narrative inquiry to new and innovative work.Contributions by: Paul Atkinson & Sara Delamont; Michael Bamberg; Jan Blommaert; Rita Charon; Wolfram Fischer & Martina Goblirsch; Mark Freeman; Alexandra Georgakopoulou; Mary M.

Narrative CounsellingSocial and linguistic processes of changePeter MuntiglUniversity of Salzburg

What actually happens in counselling interactions? How does counselling bring about change? How do clients end up producing new and alternative stories of their lives and relationships? By addressing these questions and others, Peter Muntigl explores the narrative counselling process in the context where it is enacted: the unfolding conversation between counsellor and clients. Th rough a transdisciplinary approach that combines

conversation analysis and systemic functional linguistic theory, Muntigl demonstrates how language is used in couples counselling, how language use changes over the course of counselling, and how this process provides clients with new linguistic resources that help them change their social relationships. Th is book will be a valuable resource not only for linguists and discourse analysts, but also for researchers and practitioners in the fi elds of counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, and medicine.[Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society and Culture, 11] 2004. x, 347 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2701 0 EUR 115.00 / 978 1 58811 534 8 USD 138.00��


Narrative interactionEdited by Uta M. Quasthoff and Tabea BeckerUniversity of Dortmund

Telling stories in conversations is intricately interwoven with the interactive and local functions of story telling. Telling stories demands a certain kind of context and in itself establishes a particular interactive reality. Th us, narration is a specifi c kind of verbal interaction, governed by contextualizing devices, genre-specifi c cooperative regularities and corresponding verbal features. It plays an important role in institutional as well as in private modes of communication. Th e volume focuses on narration as a contextualized and contextualizing activity, which allocates specifi c

structural tasks to the participants in the narrative process (narrator, co-narrator, listener). Th us, the research questions are oriented towards story telling under a functional and interactive perspective. Th e contributions analyze recordings of authentic narrations in diff erent functions using diff erent kinds of qualitative reconstructive methods. Th e data come from everyday as well as institutional settings and the languages covered are English, German, Greek, Hungarian, and Italian.Contributions by: Tabea Becker; Tabea Becker & Uta M.

Neural Basis of ConsciousnessEdited by Naoyuki OsakaKyoto University

Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience make possible an understanding of the neural events that are associated with diff erent forms of consciousness. To fully understand and unveil the mystery of consciousness inside the brain we require examination of the concept of neural basis of conscious mind.Th is book provides a systematic exploration of consciousness and gives an overview of neural and quantum basis of conscious mind through careful explanation of proposed models and extends these theories challenging some generalised views on consciousness.

Each chapter provides a review of the fi ndings and theoretical accounts related to neural basis of consciousness and the mechanisms of the diff erent varieties of consciousness.Professor Naoyuki Osaka (Kyoto University) has been active in experimental research on consciousness and attention for more than years.

Neurochemistry of ConsciousnessNeurotransmitters in mindEdited by Elaine Perry, Heather Ashton and Allan H. YoungNewcastle General Hospital / Royal Victoria Infi rmaryWith a foreword by Susan Greenfi eld

Th is pioneering book explores in depth the role of neurotransmitters in conscious awareness. Th e central aim is to identify common neural denominators of conscious awareness, informed by the neurochemistry of natural, drug induced and pathological states of consciousness. Chemicals such as acetylcholine and dopamine, which bridge the synaptic gap between neurones, are the

‘neurotransmitters in mind’ that form the substance of the volume, which is essential reading for all who believe that unravelling mechanisms of consciousness must include

these vital systems of the brain.Up-to-date information is provided on: • Psychological domains of attention, motivation, memory, sleep and dreaming that defi ne normal states of consciousness. • Eff ects of chemicals that alter or abolish consciousness, including hallucinogens and anaesthetics. • Disorders of the brain such as dementia, schizophrenia and depression considered from the novel perspective of the way these aff ect consciousness, and how this might relate to disturbances in neurotransmission.

a Neurolinguistic Theory of BilingualismMichel ParadisMcGill University, Cognitive Neuroscience Center, UQÀM

Th is volume is the outcome of years of research into the neurolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. In addition to reviewing the world literature and providing a state-of-the-art account, including a critical assessment of the bilingual neuroimaging studies, it proposes a set of hypotheses about the representation, organization and processing of two or more languages in one brain. It investigates the impact of the various manners of acquisition and use of each language on the extent of involvement of basic cerebral functional mechanisms. Th e eff ects of pathology as a

means to understanding the normal functioning of verbal communication processes in the bilingual and multilingual brain are explored and compared with data from neuroimaging studies. In addition to its obvious research benefi ts, the clinical and social reasons for assessment of bilingual aphasia with a measuring instrument that is linguistically and culturally equivalent in each of a patient’s languages are stressed. Th e relationship between language and thought in bilinguals is examined in the light of evidence from pathology. Th e proposed linguistic theory of bilingualism integrates a neurofunctional model (the components of verbal communication and their relationships: implicit linguistic competence, metalinguistic knowledge, pragmatics, and motivation) and a set of hypotheses about language processing (neurofunctional modularity, the activation threshold, the language/cognition distinction, and the direct access hypothesis).[Studies in Bilingualism, 18] 2004. viii, 299 pp.Hb 978 90 272 4126 9 EUR 115.00 / 978 1 55619 738 3 USD 138.00Pb 978 90 272 4127 6 EUR 33.00 / 978 1 55619 739 0 USD 39.95��


Nonverbal Communication across DisciplinesVolume 1: Culture, sensory interaction, speech, conversationFernando PoyatosUniversity of New Brunswick

In a progressive and systematic approach to communication, and always through an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, this fi rst volume presents culture as an intricate grid of sensible and intelligible sign systems in space and time, identifying the semiotic and interactive problems inherent in intercultural and subcultural communication according to verbal-nonverbal cultural fl uency. Th e author lays out fascinating complexity of our direct and synesthesial sensory perception of people and artifactual and environmental elements;

and its audible and visual manifestations through our ‘speaking face’, to then acknowledge the triple reality of discourse as ‘verbal language-paralanguage-kinesics’, which is applied through two realistic models: (a)for a verbal-nonverbal comprehensive transcription of interactive speech, and (b)for the implementation of nonverbal communication in foreign-language teaching. Th e author presents his exhaustive model of

‘nonverbal categories’ for a detailed analysis of normal or pathological behaviors in any interactive or noninteractive manifestation; and, based on all the previous material, his equally exhaustive structural model for the study of conversational encounters, which suggests many applications in diff erent fi elds, such as the intercultural and multisystem communication situation developed in simultaneous or consecutive interpretating. literary quotations from authors and works illustrate all the points discussed.2002. xxvi, 371 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2181 0 EUR 125.00 / 978 1 55619 753 6 USD 150.00��

Nonverbal Communication across DisciplinesVolume 2: Paralanguage, kinesics, silence, personal and environmental interactionFernando PoyatosUniversity of New Brunswick

Paralanguage and kinesics defi ne the tripartite nature of speech. Volume II builds on Poyatos’ book Paralanguage () — reviewed by Mary Key as “the most amplifi ed description of paralanguage available today”. It covers our basic voice components; the many normal or abnormal voice types; the communicative uses of physiological and emotional reactions like laughter, crying, sighing, coughing, sneezing, etc.; and word-like utterances beyond the offi cial dictionary. Kinesics is viewed from interactive, intercultural and cross-cultural,

and literary perspectives, with much needed research principles for the realistic study of gestures, manners and postures in their intersystemic links. Applications are given in the social or clinical sciences, intercultural communication, literature, painting, theater and cinema, etc. Related to both paralanguage and kinesics are the many eloquent sounds produced bodily, by manipulated objects and by the environment. A discussion of silence and stillness as opposed to sound and movement and related to darkness and light, shows their true interactive status, coding, functions, qualifi ers, intersystemic co-structurations, positive and negative functions, and cross-cultural attitudes toward silence. Th e fi rst two volumes are then brought together in a detailed model for studying our interactions with people and the environment, including certain emitting and transmitting congenital or traumatic limitations. quotations from authors and works vividly illustrate all topics.2002. xviii, 458 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2182 7 EUR 145.00 / 978 1 55619 754 3 USD 174.00��

Nonverbal Communication across DisciplinesVolume 3: Narrative literature, theater, cinema, translationFernando PoyatosUniversity of New Brunswick

Th is volume, based on the fi rst two, identifi es the verbal and nonverbal personal and environmental components of narrative and dramaturgic texts and the cinema

— recreated in the fi rst through the ‘reading act’ according to gaze mechanism and punctuation — and traces the coding-decoding processes of the characters’ semiotic-communicative itinerary between writer-creator and reader-recreator. In our total experience of a play or fi lm we depend on the sensory and intellectual relationships between performers, audience

and the environment of both, in a temporal dimension starting on the way to the theater and ending as one comes out. Two chapters discuss the speaking face and body of the characters and the explicit and implicit (at times ‘unstageable’) paralanguage, kinesics and quasiparalinguistic and extrasomatic and environmental sounds in the novel, the theater and the cinema, and the functions of personal and environmental silences. Another shows the functions, limitations and problems of punctuation systems in the creative-recreative processes and how a few new symbols and modifi cations would avoid some ambiguities. Th e stylistic, communicative and technical functions of nonverbal repertoires in the literary text are then identifi ed as enriching critical analysis and off ering new perspectives in translation. Finally, ‘literary anthropology’ (developed by the author in the s) is is presented as an interdisciplinary area based on synchronic and diachronic analyses of the literatures of the diff erent cultures as a source of anthropological and ethnological data. Nearly quotes from authors and works are added to those in the fi rst two volumes.2002. xx, 287 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2183 4 EUR 110.00 / 978 1 55619 755 0 USD 132.00��

on Becoming awareA pragmatics of experiencingNathalie Depraz, Francisco J. Varela and Pierre VermerschUniversité de la Sorbonne (Paris IV) / LENA, CNRS & CREA, Paris / CNRS, Paris

Th is book searches for the sources and means for a disciplined practical approach to exploring human experience. Th e spirit of this book is pragmatic and relies on a Husserlian phenomenology primarily understood as a method of exploring our experience. Th e authors do not aim at a neo-Kantian a priori

‘new theory’ of experience but instead they describe a concrete activity: how we examine what we live through, how we become aware of our own mental life. Th e range of experiences of which we can become aware is vast: all the normal dimensions of human life (perception,

motion, memory, imagination, speech, everyday social interactions), cognitive events that can be precisely defi ned as tasks in laboratory experiments (e.g., a protocol for visual attention), but also manifestations of mental life more fraught with meaning (dreaming, intense emotions, social tensions, altered states of consciousness). Th e central assertion in this work is that this immanent ability is habitually ignored or at best practiced unsystematically, that is to say, blindly. Exploring human experience amounts to developing and cultivating this basic ability through specifi c training. Only a hands-on, non-dogmatic approach can lead to progress, and that is what animates this book.

on Being movedFrom mirror neurons to empathyEdited by Stein BråtenUniversity of Oslo

In this collective volume the origins, neurosocial support, and therapeutic implications of (pre)verbal intersubjectivity are examined with a focus on implications of the discovery of mirror neurons. Entailing a paradigmatic revolution in the intersection of developmental and neural sciences, two radical turnabouts are entailed. First, no longer can be upheld as valid Cartesian and Leibnizian assumptions about monadic subjects with disembodied minds without windows to each other excepts as mediated by culture. Supported by a mirror system,

specifi ed in this volume by some of the discoverers, modes of participant perception have now been identifi ed which entails embodied simulation and co-movements with others in felt immediacy. Second, no longer can be retained the Piagetian attribution of infant egocentricity. Pioneers who have broken new research grounds in the study of newborns, protoconversation, and early speech perception document in the present volume infant capacity for interpersonal communion, empathic identifi cation, and learning by altercentric participation. Pertinent new fi ndings and results are presented on these topics:(i) Origins and multiple layers of intersubjectivity and empathy(ii) Neurosocial support of (pre)verbal intersubjectivity, participant perception, and simulation of mind(iii) From preverbal sharing and early speech perception to meaning acquisition and verbal intersubjectivity(iv) New windows on other-centred movements and moments of meeting in therapy and intervention.

origins of languageConstraints on hypothesesSverker JohanssonUniversity of Jönköping

Sverker Johansson has written an unusual book on language origins, with its emphasis on empirical evidence rather than theory-building. Th is is a book for the student or researcher who prefers solid data and well-supported conclusions, over speculative scenarios. Much that has been written on the origins of language is characterized by hypothesizing largely unconstrained by evidence. But empirical data do exist, and the purpose of this book is to integrate and review the available evidence from all relevant disciplines, not only linguistics but also, e.g., neurology, primatology,

paleoanthropology, and evolutionary biology. Th e evidence is then used to constrain the multitude of scenarios for language origins, demonstrating that many popular hypotheses are untenable. Among the issues covered: () Human evolutionary history, () Anatomical prerequisites for language, () Animal communication and ape “language”, () Mind and language, () Th e role of gesture, () Innateness, () Selective advantage of language, () Proto-language.[Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research, 5] 2005. xii, 346 pp.Hb 978 90 272 3891 7 EUR 95.00 / 978 1 58811 629 1 USD 114.00Pb 978 90 272 3893 1 EUR 38.00 / USD 45.95��

outside-in — inside-outEdited by Costantino Maeder, Olga Fischer and William J. HerlofskyCatholic University of Louvain / University of Amsterdam / Nagoya Gakuin University

Th is fourth volume of the Iconicity series is like its predecessors devoted to the study of iconicity in language and literature in all its forms. Many of the papers turn the notion of iconicity ‘inside-out’, some suggesting that

‘less-is-more’; others focus on the cognitive factors ‘inside’ the brain that are important for the iconic phenomena that are produced in the ‘outside’ world. In addition this volume includes a paper related to iconicity in music and its interaction with language. Other papers range from the theoretical issues involved in the evolution of language, to those that off er

many ‘inside-out’ claims, such as claiming that nouns are derived from pronouns, and as such should more properly be called ‘pro-pronouns’. Also, this volume includes perhaps the fi rst English-language analysis of the iconic aspects of sound symbolism in a prayer from the Koran.

Perspective and Perspectivation in DiscourseEdited by Carl Friedrich Graumann and Werner KallmeyerUniversity of Heidelberg / Institute for the German Language, Mannheim

‘Perspective’ and ‘viewpoint’ are widely used in everyday talk as well as in the specialist languages of the social, cognitive, and literary sciences. Taken from the fi eld of visual perception and representation, these concepts have acquired a general meaning and signifi cance, as characteristics of human cognitive processing. Since, however, this fi eld is shared by an increasing body of disciplines, perspective terms have also acquired specifi c and technical meanings. A striking example is the newly introduced use of ‘perspectivation’ in discourse analysis.

Th is volume on ‘perspective and perspectivation’ — the fi rst of its kind — will help to fi ll the gap between the common understanding of perspective and the specifi cs of its structure and dynamics as they have been elaborated in the human sciences, mainly in psychology and linguistics. Th e focus is on the structure of perspectivity in cognition and language, and the dynamics of setting and taking perspectives in social interaction and in the construction and understanding of texts. Both topics are presented here in an interdisciplinary way by a group of linguists and psychologists.Contributions by: Ursula Bredel; Peter Canisius; Klaus Foppa; Carl Friedrich Graumann; Carl Friedrich Graumann & Werner Kallmeyer; Susanne Günthner; Werner Kallmeyer; Inken Keim; Helga Kotthoff ; Per Linell; János László & Tibor Pólya; Ivana Marková & Sarah Collins; Gerold Mikula; Sabine Otten & Amélie Mummendey; Uta M.

Philosophy of the BrainThe brain problemGeorg Northoff Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

“What is the mind?”“What is the relationship between brain and mind?”Th ese are common questions. But “What is the brain?” is a rare question in both the neurosciences and philosophy. Th e reason for this may lie in the brain itself: Is there a “brain problem”?In this fresh and innovative book, Georg Northoff demonstrates that there is in fact a “brain problem”. He argues that our brain can only be understood when its empirical

functions are directly related to the modes of acquiring knowledge, our epistemic abilities and inabilities. Drawing on the latest neuroscientifi c data and philosophical theories, he provides an empirical-epistemic defi nition of the brain. Northoff reveals the basic conceptual confusion about the relationship between mind and brain that has so obstinately been lingering in both neuroscience and philosophy. He subsequently develops an alternative framework where the integration of the brain within body and environment is central. Th is novel approach plunges the reader into the depths of our own brain. Th e “Philosophy of the Brain” that emerges opens the door to a fascinating world of new fi ndings that explore the mind and its relationship to our very human brain.

Planning and Task Performance in a second languageEdited by Rod EllisUniversity of Auckland

Th e last decade has seen a growing body of research investigating various aspects of L learners’ performance of tasks. Th is book focuses on one task implementation variable: planning. It considers theories of how opportunities to plan a task aff ect performance and tests claims derived from these theories in a series of empirical studies. Th e book examines diff erent types of planning (i.e. task rehearsal, pre-task planning and within-task planning), addressing both what learners do when they plan and the eff ects of the diff erent types of planning on L production. Th e choice

of planning as the variable for investigation in this book is motivated both by its importance for current theorizing about L acquisition (in particular with regard to cognitive theories that view acquisition in terms of information processing) and its utility to language teachers and language testers, for unlike many other constructs in SLA ‘planning’ lends itself to external manipulation. Th e study of planning, then, provides a suitable forum for demonstrating the interconnectedness of theory, research and pedagogy in SLA.Contributions by: Rob Batstone; Martin Bygate & Virginia Samuda; Catherine Elder & Noriko Iwashita; Rod Ellis; Rod Ellis & Fanguan Yuan; Chieko Kawauchi; Lourdes Ortega; Jiraporn Sanguran; Peter Skehan & Pauline Foster; Parveneh Tavakoli & Peter Skehan.[Language Learning & Language Teaching, 11] 2005. viii, 313 pp.Hb 978 90 272 1961 9 EUR 105.00 / 978 1 58811 613 0 USD 126.00Pb 978 90 272 1962 6 EUR 36.00 / 978 1 58811 614 7 USD 42.95��

Point of View in PlaysA cognitive stylistic approach to viewpoint in drama and other text-typesDan McIntyreUniversity of Huddersfi eld

Th is is the fi rst book-length study of how point of view is manifested linguistically in dramatic texts. It examines such issues as how readers process the shift s in viewpoint that can occur within such texts. Using insights from cognitive linguistics, the book aims to explain how the analysis of point of view in drama can be undertaken, and how this is fruitful for understanding textual and discoursal eff ects in this genre. Following on from a consideration of existing frameworks for the analysis of point of view, a cognitive approach to deixis is suggested as being particularly profi table

for explaining the viewpoint eff ects that can arise in dramatic texts. To expand on the large number of examples discussed throughout the book, the penultimate chapter consists of an extended analysis of a single play. Th is book is relevant to scholars in a range of areas, including linguistics, literary studies and cognitive science.[Linguistic Approaches to Literature, 3] 2006. xii, 203 pp.Hb 978 90 272 3335 6 EUR 99.00 / USD 119.00��

Progress in Colour studiesVolume II. Psychological aspectsEdited by Nicola Pitchford and Carole P. BiggamUniversity of Nottingham / University of Glasgow

Th e study of colour attracts researchers from a wide range of disciplines from both the sciences and the arts. Along with its companion volume, Progress in Colour Studies :Language and Culture, this book off ers a fascinating insight into current issues and research into colour. Most of the papers originated in a conference entitled

‘Progress in Colour Studies’ held in the University of Glasgow, U.K. Some additional invited papers are included from investigators exploring new and exciting avenues of colour research. Th e contributions to both books

represent reviews of state-of-the-art colour research in various disciplines, and some new research fi ndings are reported. Th is volume, principally psychological in content, focuses on the development of colour perception and colour language, from infancy into adulthood, across a diverse range of cultures, including English, Himba, Chinese, and Mexican, and on the intriguing yet perplexing condition of synaesthesia, thus bridging research from the physiology, psychology and anthropology of colour.Contributions by: Valererie Bonnardel & Nicola Pitchford; Marc H.

Radical enactivismIntentionality, Phenomenology and Narrative

Focus on the philosophy of Daniel D. HuttoEdited by Richard MenaryUniversity of Hertfordshire

“Th is collection is a much-needed remedy to the confusion about which varieties of enactivism are robust yet viable rejections of traditional representationalism approaches to cognitivism – and which are not. Hutto’s paper is the pivot around which the expert commentators, enactivists and non-enactivists alike, sketch out the implications of enactivism for a wide variety of issues: perception, emotion, the theory of content, cognition, development, social interaction, and more. Th e inclusion of thoughtful replies from Hutto gives the volume a further degree of depth

and integration oft en lacking in collections of essays.

Rethinking sequentialityLinguistics meets conversational interactionEdited by Anita Fetzer and Christiane MeierkordUniversity of Stuttgart / Erfurt University

Th is book addresses current approaches to sequentiality in pragmatics and discourse analysis. It refl ects the current moves in ethnomethodological conversation analysis and speech act theory to cross methodological borders to arrive at a conception of a sequence, which extends the local notion of sequentiality by integrating further constitutive components, such as cognition, intentionality, activity type, culture and genre. Th e individual contributions were presented at the th IPrA Conference held in Budapest in the year . Th ey range from critical

analyses of speech act theory and cognitive pragmatics to detailed micro analyses of genre- and activity-specifi c constraints on the production and interpretation of meaning. Th e fi rst part “sequences in theory and practice: minimal and unbounded” discusses the theoretical premises and exemplifi es these by detailed data analyses. Th e second part “sequences in discourse: the micro-macro interface” examines genre-specifi c constraints on individual sequences and shows the benefi ts of supplementing the microanalytic concept of sequentiality with macroanalytic categories.Contributions by: Robert B.

seduction, Community, speechA Festschrift for Herman ParretEdited by Frank Brisard, Michael Meeuwis and Bart VandenabeeleUniversity of Antwerp / University of Ghent

Th is volume unites various contributions refl ecting the intellectual interests exhibited by Professor Herman Parret (Institute of Philosophy, Leuven), who has continued to observe, and oft en critically assess, ongoing developments in pragmatics throughout his career. In fact, Parret’s contributions to philosophical and empirical/linguistic pragmatics present substantive proposals in the epistemics of communication, while simultaneously off ering meta-comments on the ideological premises of extant pragmatic analyses. In a lengthy introduction, an

overview is provided of his achievements in promoting an integrated, “maximalist” pragmatics, as well as of the links between his own work in philosophy of language and in semiotics and aesthetics. Th e remaining essays address relevant pragmatic themes or look into the relation between pragmatics and neighboring disciplines. Th ey deal with grammatical deixis (Brisard, Ikegami) and mood (van der Auwera & Schalley), performativity (Harnish, Holdcroft ), speech-act types and their praxeological dimensions (Roulet, Van Overbeke), Wittgensteinian language games (Marques, Parisi), cultural and intercultural identities (Vandenabeele, Verschueren), and the visual arts (Wildgen).Contributions by: Frank Brisard; Robert M.

signal, meaning, and messagePerspectives on sign-based linguisticsEdited by Wallis Reid, Ricardo Otheguy and Nancy SternRutgers University / City University of New York / Hofstra University

Th is is the second volume of papers on sign-based linguistics to emerge from Columbia School linguistics conferences. One set of articles off ers semantic analyses of grammatical features of specifi c languages: English full-verb inversion; Serbo-Croatian deictic pronouns; English auxiliary do; Italian pronouns egli and lui; the Celtic-infl uenced use of on (e.g., ‘he played a trick on me’); a monosemic analysis of the English verb break. A second set deals with general theoretical issues: a solution to the problem that noun class markers (e.g. Swahili) pose for sign-

based linguistics; the appropriateness of statistical tests of signifi cance in text-based analysis; the word or the morpheme as the locus of paradigmatic infl ectional change; the radical consequences of Saussure’s anti-nomenclaturism for syntactic analysis; the future of ‘minimalist linguistics’ in a maximalist world. A third set explains phonotactic patterning in terms of ease of articulation: aspirated and unaspirated stop consonants in Urdu; initial consonant clusters in more than two dozen languages. An introduction highlights the theoretical and analytical points of each article and their relation to the Columbia School framework. Th e collection is relevant to cognitive semanticists and functionalists as well as those working in the sign-based Jakobsonian and Guillaumist frameworks.Contributions by: Abdul Azim; Ellen Contini-Morava; Joseph Davis; Mark J.

signs, mind, and RealityA theory of language as the folk model of the worldSebastian ShaumyanYale University

Th e book presents a new science of semiotic linguistics. Th e goal of semiotic linguistics is to discover what characterizes language as an intermediary between the mind and reality so that language creates the picture of reality we perceive. Th e cornerstone of semiotic linguistics is the discovery and resolution of language antinomies -contradictions between two apparently reasonable principles or laws. Language antinomies constitute the essence of language, and hence must be studied from both linguistic and philosophical points of view. Th e basic language antinomy

which underlies all other antinomies is the antinomy between meaning and information. Both generative and classical linguistic theories are unaware of the need to distinguish between meaning and information. By confounding these notions they are unable to discover language antinomies and confi ne their research to naturalistic description of superfi cial language phenomena rather than the quest for the essence of language.(Series A)[Advances in Consciousness Research, 65] 2006. xxvii, 315 pp.Hb 978 90 272 5201 2 EUR 110.00 / USD 132.00��

simulation and Knowledge of actionEdited by Jérôme Dokic and Joëlle Proust

Th e current debate between theory theory and simulation theory on the nature of mentalisation has reached no consensus yet, although many now think that some hybrid theory is needed. Th is collection of essays represents an eff ort at re-evaluating the scope of simulation theory, while also considering areas in which it could be submitted to experimental tests. Th e volume explores the two main versions of simulation theory, Goldman’s introspectionism and Gordon’s radical simulationism, and enquires whether they allow a non-

circular account of mentalisation. Th e originality of the volume is to confront conceptual views on simulation with data from pragmatics, developmental psychology and the neurosciences. Individual chapters contain discussions of specifi c issues such as autism, imitation, motor imagery, conditional reasoning, joint attention and the understanding of demonstratives. It will be of interest primarily to advanced students and researchers in the philosophy of mind, language and action, but also to everyone interested in the nature of interpretation and communication.

space in languagesLinguistic Systems and Cognitive CategoriesEdited by Maya Hickmann and Stéphane RobertCNRS & University René Descartes, Paris 5 / CNRS-LLACAN & INALCO

Space is presently the focus of much research and debate across disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy. One strong feature of this collection is to bring together theoretical and empirical contributions from these varied scientifi c traditions, with the collective aim of addressing fundamental questions at the forefront of the current literature: the nature of space in language, the linguistic relativity of space, the relation between spatial language and cognition. Linguistic analyses highlight the multidimensional and heterogeneous nature of

space, while also showing the existence of a set of types, parameters, and principles organizing the considerable diversity of linguistic systems and accounting for mechanisms of diachronic change. Findings concerning spatial perception and cognition suggest the existence of two distinct systems governing linguistic and non-linguistic representations, that only partially overlap in some pathologies, but they also show the strong impact of language-specifi c factors on the course of language acquisition and cognitive development.Contributions by: Pierre Cadiot, Franck Lebas & Yves-Marie Visetti; Denis Creissels; Michel Denis, Karine Ricalens, Véronique Baudoin & Jean-Luc Nespoulous; Jérôme Dokic & Elisabeth Pacherie; Colette Grinevald; Maya Hickmann; Maya Hickmann & Stéphane Robert; Anetta Kopecka; Barbara Landau & Laura Lakusta; Christiane Marchello-Nizia; Alain Peyraube; Stéphane Robert; Marie-Anne Sallandre; Dan I.

spatial Demonstratives in english and ChineseText and CognitionYi’an WuBeijing Foreign Studies University

As a subject of universal appeal, spatial demonstratives have been studied extensively from a variety of disciplines. What marks the present study as distinct is that it is an English-Chinese comparative study set in a cognitive-linguistic framework and that the methodology features a parallel corpora-based, discourse analysis approach. Th e framework illuminates the nature of the demonstratives’ basic and extended meaning and use, the connections between them, and the mechanisms that govern and constrain their trends of extension. Th e corpora place

the English and Chinese demonstratives in comparable discourse contexts and processes, providing an “ecological” environment for the observation of how their behavior fi ts into the respective structural and discourse systems of the two languages. Th e study also illuminates important issues such as the subjectivity of language, language as a representational system and a vehicle of communication, the interface between form and function, and the role of context in discourse comprehension.[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 126] 2004. xviii, 236 pp.Hb 978 90 272 5369 9 EUR 99.00 / 978 1 58811 545 4 USD 119.00��

speaking of Colors and odorsEdited by Martina Plümacher and Peter HolzTechnical University Berlin / University of Bremen

How to speak of colors and odors? In many cases, we have to think about an adequate description of a perceived odor or shade of color. Words are not fl uently available.Th e contributions discuss color and odor perception and its linguistic representation from diff erent disciplinary angles: from neurobiology, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics and philosophy. Th ey show that linguistic representation of colors and odors depends highly on cultures of communication. Experts are skilled in discerning fi ner

diff erences between their sense impressions and have at their disposal a special language which non-experts do not master. Th e color and odor vocabulary is rare, if there is no cultural habit to communicate the very sense impression. In cases where individuals have to speak of their sensory experiences more precisely they oft en turn to metaphors.

The structure and Development of self-ConsciousnessInterdisciplinary perspectivesEdited by Dan Zahavi, Th or Grünbaum and Josef ParnasDanish National Research Foundation, Center for Subjectivity Research

Self-consciousness is a topic of considerable importance to a variety of empirical and theoretical disciplines such as developmental and social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, and philosophy. Th is volume presents essays on self-consciousness by prominent psychologists, cognitive neurologists, and philosophers. Some of the topics included are the infants’ sense of self and others, theory of mind, phenomenology of embodiment, neural mechanisms of action attribution, and hermeneutics of the self. A number of these essays argue in turn that

empirical fi ndings in developmental psychology, phenomenological analyses of embodiment, or studies of pathological self-experiences point to the existence of a type of self-consciousness that does not require any explicit I —thought or self-observation, but is more adequately described as a pre-refl ective, embodied form of self-familiarity. Th e diff erent contributions in the volume amply demonstrate that self-consciousness is a complex multifaceted phenomenon that calls for an integration of diff erent complementary interdisciplinary perspectives.

The structure of TimeLanguage, meaning and temporal cognitionVyvyan EvansUniversity of Sussex

One of the most enigmatic aspects of experience concerns time. Since pre-Socratic times scholars have speculated about the nature of time, asking questions such as: What is time? Where does it come from? Where does it go? Th e central proposal of Th e Structure of Time is that time, at base, constitutes a phenomenologically real experience. Drawing on fi ndings in psychology, neuroscience, and utilising the perspective of cognitive linguistics, this work argues that our experience of time may ultimately derive from perceptual processes, which in turn enable us to perceive

events. As such, temporal experience is a pre-requisite for abilities such as event perception and comparison, rather than an abstraction based on such phenomena. Th e book represents an examination of the nature of temporal cognition, with two foci: (i) an investigation into (pre-conceptual) temporal experience, and (ii) an analysis of temporal structure at the conceptual level (which derives from temporal experience).[Human Cognitive Processing, 12] 2004. x, 286 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2364 7 EUR 95.00 / 978 1 58811 466 2 USD 114.00Pb 978 90 272 2367 8 EUR 36.00 / USD 42.95��


Three-Participant Constructions in englishA functional-cognitive approach to caused relationsAn Laff utUniversity of Leuven

Th is study aims to give a systematic and comprehensive description of the constructions involved in three important types of alternation: the locative alternation, which is by far the most researched of the three, the image impression alternation and the material/product alternation. Th e author looks at the constructions as part of alternation, but also looks beyond the alternations, and analyzes and describes the constructions in their own right. Th ey are analyzed as three-participant constructions with relational complements, construing causation of the

three main subtypes of relations, namely intensive, circumstantial and possessive relations. Particular attention is paid to the concept of holicity, to the status of the prepositional phrase, and to collocational properties, which play a key role in the decision as to which alternate should be regarded as the unmarked one within its construction paradigm. Th e approach taken is inspired by systemic functional grammar and can broadly be characterized as cognitive-functional.[Studies in Language Companion Series, 79] 2006. ix, 268 pp.Hb 978 90 272 3089 8 EUR 110.00 / USD 132.00��

Tone of Voice and mindThe connections between intonation, emotion, cognition and consciousnessNorman D. CookKansai University

Tone of Voice and Mind is a synthesis of fi ndings from neurophysiology (how neurons produce subjective feeling), neuropsychology (how the human cerebral hemispheres undertake complementary information-processing), intonation studies (how the emotions are encoded in the tone of voice), and music perception (how human beings hear and feel harmony). Th e focus is on the psychological characteristics that distinguish us from other primate species. At a neuronal level, we are just another mammalian species, but the functional specialization of the human

cerebral hemispheres has resulted in three outstanding, uniquely-human talents: language, tool-usage and music. To understand how the human brain coordinates those behaviors is to understand who we are.

Topics in signed language interpretingTheory and practiceEdited by Terry JanzenUniversity of Manitoba

Interpreters who work with signed languages and those who work strictly with spoken languages share many of the same issues regarding their training, skill sets, and fundamentals of practice. Yet interpreting into and from signed languages presents unique challenges for the interpreter, who works with language that must be seen rather than heard. Th e contributions in this volume focus on topics of interest to both students of signed language interpreting and practitioners working in community, conference, and education settings. Signed languages dealt with

include American Sign Language, Langue des Signes Québécoise and Irish Sign Language, although interpreters internationally will fi nd the discussion in each chapter relevant to their own language context. Topics concern theoretical and practical components of the interpreter’s work, including interpreters’ approaches to language and meaning, their role on the job and in the communities within which they work, dealing with language variation and consumer preferences, and Deaf interpreters as professionals in the fi eld.Contributions by: Patrick Boudreault; Patricia Conrad & Susan Stegenga; Hubert Demers; Terry Janzen; Terry Janzen & Donna Korpiniski; Lorraine Leeson; Karen Malcolm; Debra Russell; Angela Stratiy; Sherman Wilcox & Barbara Shaff er.[Benjamins Translation Library, 63] 2005. xii, 362 pp.Hb 978 90 272 1669 4 EUR 120.00 / USD 144.00��

Touching for KnowingCognitive psychology of haptic manual perceptionEdited by Yvette Hatwell, Arlette Streri and Edouard GentazUniversité Pierre Mendès-France, Grenoble / Université René Descartes / Université René Descartes and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifi que

Th e dominance of vision is so strong in sighted people that touch is sometimes considered as a minor perceptual modality. However, touch is a powerful tool which contributes signifi cantly to our knowledge of space and objects. Its intensive use by blind persons allows them to reach the same levels of knowledge and cognition as their sighted peers.In this book, specialized researchers present the recent state of knowledge about the cognitive functioning of touch. Aft er an analysis of the neurophysiology and

neuropsychology of touch, exploratory manual behaviors, intramodal haptic (tactual-kinesthetic) abilities and cross-modal visual-tactual coordination are examined in infants, children and adults, and in non-human primates. Th ese studies concern both sighted and blind persons in order to know whether early visual deprivation modifi es the modes of processing space and objects. Th e last section is devoted to the technical devices favoring the school and social integration of the young blind: Braille reading, use of raised maps and drawings, “sensory substitution” displays, and new technologies of communication adapted for the blind.

unfolding Perceptual ContinuaEdited by Liliana AlbertazziUniversity of Trento, Italy

Th e book analyses the diff erences between the mathematical interpretation and the phenomenological intuition of the continuum. Th e basic idea is that the continuity of the experience of space and time originates in phenomenic movement. Th e problem of consciousness and of the spaces of representation is related to the primary processes of perception. Conceived as an interplay between cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy, the book presents a conceptual framework based on a dynamic and experimental approach to the problem

of the continuum. Besides presenting the primitives of a theory of cognitive space and time, it present a theory of the observer, analyzing the relationship among perspective, points of view and unity of consciousness. Th e book’s chapters deal with the dynamic elaboration and recognition of forms from the lower to the higher processes in the various perceptual fi elds. Experimental analysis from visual, auditory and tactile perception outline the basic structures of intentionality and its counterpart in language and gesture.

Visual ThoughtThe depictive space of perceptionEdited by Liliana AlbertazziTrento University

Th is volume starts from an interdisciplinary expertise of the contributors, and chooses to work on the very origins of conscious qualitative states in perception. Th e leading research paradigm can be synthesized in

‘phenomenology to neurons to stimuli, and backwards’, since as a starting point it is taken the phenomenal appearances in the visual fi eld. Specifi cally, the leading theme of the volume is the co-presence and interaction of diverse types of spaces in vision, like the optical space of psychophysics and of neural elaboration, the qualitative space of phenomenal appearances,

and its relation with the pictorial space of art. Th e contributors to the volume agree in arguing that those spaces follow diff erent rules of organization, whose specifi c singularity and reciprocal dependence have to be individuated, as a preliminary step to understand the architecture of the conscious awareness of our environment and to conceive its potential implementation in constructing any kind of embodied intentional agents.

Washing the Brain – metaphor and hidden ideologyAndrew GoatlyLingnan University

Contemporary metaphor theory has recently begun to address the relation between metaphor, culture and ideology. In this wide-ranging book, Andrew Goatly, using lexical data from his database Metalude, investigates how conceptual metaphor themes construct our thinking and social behaviour in fi elds as diverse as architecture, engineering, education, genetics, ecology, economics, politics, industrial time-management, medicine, immigration, race, and sex. He argues that metaphor themes are created not only through the universal body but also through cultural

experience, so that an apparently universal metaphor such as event-structure as realized in English grammar is in fact culturally relative, compared with e.g. the construal of ‘cause and eff ect’ in the Algonquin language Blackfoot. Moreover, event-structure as a model is both scientifi cally reactionary and, as the basis for technological mega-projects, has proved environmentally harmful. Furthermore, the ideologies of early capitalism created or exploited a selection of metaphor themes historically traceable through Hobbes, Hume, Smith, Malthus and Darwin. Th ese metaphorical concepts support neo-Darwinian and neo-conservative ideologies apparent at the beginning of the st century, ideologies underpinning our social and environmental crises. Th e conclusion therefore recommends skepticism of metaphor’s reductionist tendencies.[Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society and Culture, 23] 2007. xviii, 432 pp.Hb 978 90 272 2713 3 EUR 120.00 / USD 144.00��


The mental lexiconEdited by Gonia Jarema and Gary LibbenUniversity of Montreal / University of Alberta

Th e Mental Lexicon is an interdisciplinary journal that provides an international forum for research that bears on the issues of the representation and processing of words in the mind and brain. We encourage both the submission of original research and reviews of signifi cant new developments in the understanding of the mental lexicon. Th e journal publishes work that includes, but is not limited to the following:

“In an era when the highly specialized journal may fail to draw a large enough audience and the overly generalized journal may fail to fi nd a coherent voice, the Journal of the Mental Lexicon seems to have found that ideal niche: a clear scholarly conception, an openness to multidisciplinary approaches and a broad appeal to the researcher, the clinician, the theoretician and the historian. John Benjamins Publishing is to be congratulated both on the foresight to support this worthwhile project and the acumen to have selected two outstanding scholars to edit what promises to be a bellwether among competing journals.”prof.Dr.harrya.Whitaker, Department of Psychology, Northern Michigan University

gestureEdited by Adam Kendon and Cornelia MüllerUniversity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia / European University Viadrina, Frankfurt (Oder)

Gesture publishes articles reporting original research, as well as survey and review articles, on all aspects of gesture. Th e journal aims to stimulate and facilitate scholarly communication between the diff erent disciplines within which work on gesture is conducted. For this reason papers written in the spirit of cooperation between disciplines are especially encouraged.Topics may include, but are by no means limited to: the relationship between gesture and speech; the role gesture may play in communication in all the circumstances of social interaction, including conversations, the work-place or instructional settings; gesture and cognition; the development of gesture in children; the place of gesture in fi rst and second language acquisition; the processes by which spontaneously created gestures may become transformed into codifi ed forms; the documentation and discussion of vocabularies of ’quotable’ or ’emblematic’ gestures; the relationship between gesture and sign; studies of gesture systems or sign languages such as those that have developed in factories, religious communities or in tribal societies; the role of gesture in ritual interactions of all kinds, such as greetings, religious, civic or legal rituals; gestures compared cross-culturally; gestures in primate social interaction; biological studies of gesture, including discussions of the place of gesture in language origins theory; gesture in multimodal human-machine interaction; historical studies of gesture; and studies in the history of gesture studies, including discussions of gesture in the theatre or as a part of rhetoric.Gesture provides a place where contributions to this topic may be found from such disciplines as linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, biology, communication studies, neurology, ethology, theatre studies, literature and the visual arts, cognitive psychology and computer engineering.

interaction studiesSocial Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artifi cial SystemsEdited by Kerstin Dautenhahn and James HurfordSchool of Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, UK / University of Edinburgh

Th is international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artifi cial systems.Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artifi cial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning, adaptation and imitation; social behaviour in human-machine interactions; the nature of empathic understanding, behaviour and intention reading; minimal requirements and systems exhibiting social behaviour; the role of cultural factors in shaping social behaviour and communication in biological or artifi cial societies.Th e journal welcomes contributions that analyze social behaviour in humans and other animals as well as research into the design and synthesis of robotic, soft ware, virtual and other artifi cial systems, including applications such as exploiting human-machine interactions for educational or therapeutic purposes.Fields of interest comprise evolutionary biology, artifi cial intelligence, artifi cial life, robotics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cognitive modeling, ethology, social and biological anthropology, palaeontology, animal behaviour, linguistics. Interaction Studies publishes research articles, research reports, and book reviews.Interaction Studies is a successor of Evolution of Communication. While IS signifi cantly broadens the original aims and scope of EoC, we clearly continue to encourage researchers studying the origins of human language and the evolutionary continuum of communication in general to submit high quality manuscripts to Interaction Studies.

Pragmatics & CognitionEdited by Marcelo DascalTel Aviv University

Pragmatics & Cognition is an interdisciplinary journal seeking to bring together such disciplines as philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, cognitive science, neuroscience, artifi cial intelligence, ethology, and cognitive anthropology, among others. Th e journal seeks to explore relations of all sorts between semiotic systems as used by humans, animals and machines, in connection with mental activities: logical and causal dependence; condition of acquisition, development of loss; modeling, simulation of formalization, shared or separate biological and neurological bases; social and cultural variation; aesthetic expression; historical development; etc. Pragmatics & Cognition’s basic assumption is that the proper understanding of mental life and inter-personal relations requires an intensive and thoughtful exchange of views across disciplines.As of Vol. () Pragmatics & Cognition pays special attention to the growing interest in the relationship between technological advances and cognition – a fi eld that is intimately related to the journal’s basic concerns. Th e journal appears in three issues per year with one issue devoted to Cognition and Technology (C&T), containing invited as well as submitted refereed papers. Space will also be reserved in these thematic issues for submitted articles, discussion notes, and book reviews in the fi eld of C&T not specifi cally related to the theme of the Special Issue. Each Special C&T Issue will be co-edited by a Guest Editor and Dr. Itiel Dror, who has been appointed P&C’s Associate Editor for C&T.Callforpapers: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~id/technology.html

BiBliographyofMetaphor&MetonyMy

Editors/compilers: Sabine De Knop, René Dirven & Birgit Smieja

The online Bibliography of Metaphor & Metonymy (MetBib) offers a research tool for anyone interested in metaphor, metonymy, and other figurative language. Metaphor and metonymy play an important role in language use in everyday life and communication. Their study is by nature interdisciplinary. This instrument is therefore relevant to a broad audience, including (but not limited to) those working in linguistics, anthropology, cross-cultural studies, communication studies, lexicology, pragmatics and discourse, rhetoric, stylistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, translation studies, literary studies, and the cognitive sciences.

MetBib covers monographs, edited volumes, articles from volumes and journals, dissertations, proceedings, working papers, unpublished works and conference papers, starting from 1990. It surveys publications in the humanities and social sciences such as linguistics, literary studies, philosophy, psychology, education, sociology, and also – though more randomly – in the areas of science and medicine.

The current release contains more than 6500 records, each with a full bibliographic description and keywords, and many with abstracts.

The bibliography will be updated annually, and uses the same search engine and user interface as the Bibliography of Pragmatics Online and the Translation Studies Bibliography.
