AnalysingSociolinguistic VariationSali TagliamonteUniversity of Toronto

The study of how language varies insocial context, and how it can beanalyzed and accounted for, are the keygoals of sociolinguistics. Until now,however, the actual tools and methodshave been largely passed on through‘word of mouth’, rather than beingformally documented. This is the firstcomprehensive ‘how to’ guide to theformal analysis of sociolinguisticvariation. It shows step-by-step how theanalysis is carried out, leading the readerthrough every stage of a research projectfrom start to finish. Topics coveredinclude fieldwork, data organization andmanagement, analysis andinterpretation, presenting researchresults, and writing up a paper. Practical

and informal, the book contains all theinformation needed to conduct a fully-fledged sociolinguistic investigation, andincludes exercises, checklists, referencesand insider tips. It is set to become anessential resource for students,researchers and fieldworkers embarkingon research projects in sociolinguistics.Key Topics in Sociolinguistics

How Children LearnLanguageWilliam O’GradyUniversity of Hawaii, Manoa

Adults tend to take language forgranted – until they have to learn a new one. Then they realize how difficultit is to get the pronunciation right, toacquire the meaning of thousands ofnew words, and to learn how thosewords are put together to formsentences. Children, however, havemastered language before they can tie their shoes. In this engaging andaccessible book, William O’Gradyexplains how this happens, discussinghow children learn to produce anddistinguish among sounds, theiracquisition of words and meanings,and their mastery of the rules forbuilding sentences. How Children Learn Language provides readers with a highly readable overview not only ofthe language acquisition process itself,but also of the ingenious experimentsand techniques that researchers use toinvestigate his mysterious phenomenon.It will be of great interest to anyone –parent or student – wishing to find outhow children acquire language.Cambridge Approaches to Linguistics

Language is a skillthat we have essentially mastered by theage of three, and with incredible easeand speed, despite the complexity of thetask. This accessible textbook introducesthe field of child language acquisition,exploring language development frombirth. Setting out the key theoreticaldebates, it considers questions such aswhat characteristics of the human mindmake it possible to acquire language;how far acquisition is biologicallyprogrammed and how far it is influencedby our environment; what makes secondlanguage learning (in adulthood)different from first language acquisition;and whether the specific stages inlanguage development are universalacross languages. Clear andcomprehensive, it is set to become a keytext for all courses in child languageacquisition, within linguistics,developmental psychology and cognitivescience.Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics

Case, a system which marks therelationships between words in asentence, is fundamental to everylanguage. Looking at how differenttheories of syntax have accounted for the distribution of case across languages,this accessible textbook introduces thevarious approaches to case that have beenproposed in modern linguistics. Clearlyorganised into topics, it provides beginningstudents with a solid understanding of theideas behind the development of theoriesof case. For the more advanced reader,it presents theories that have beenformulated about the interaction betweencase morphology, argument structure,grammatical relations and semantics,and offers a detailed cross-theoreticaldiscussion of how these are motivated.Each chapter contains practical exercises,encouraging students to engage with theideas discussed. Drawing on data from a wide range of languages and poolingtogether a variety of perspectives, Theoriesof Case is essential reading for all thosestudying this important area of linguistics.Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics

AgreementGreville G. CorbettUniversity of Surrey

Agreement in language relates to thecorrespondence between words in asentence, in terms of gender, case,person, or number. For example, in thesentence ‘he runs’, the suffix -s ‘agrees’in number with the singular pronoun‘he’. Patterns of agreement varydramatically cross-linguistically, withgreat diversity in the way it is expressedand the types of variation permitted.This clear introduction offers an insightinto how agreement works, and howlinguists have tried to account for it.Comparing examples from a range oflanguages, with radically differentagreement systems, it demonstratesagreement at work in a variety ofconstructions. It shows how agreementis influenced by the conflicting effects ofsentence structure and meaning, andhighlights the oddities of agreement inEnglish.

Linguistics and theFormal SciencesThe Origins of GenerativeGrammarMarcus TomalinUniversity of Cambridge

The formal sciences, particularlymathematics, have had a profoundinfluence on the development oflinguistics. This insightful overview looksat techniques that were introduced inthe fields of mathematics, logic andphilosophy during the twentieth century,and explores their effect on the work ofvarious linguists. In particular, itdiscusses the ‘foundations crisis’ thatdestabilised mathematics at the start ofthe twentieth century, the numerousrelated movements which sought torespond to this crisis, and how theyinfluenced the development of syntactictheory in the 1950s. The book concludesby discussing the resulting majorconsequences for current syntactictheory, and provides a groundbreakingand detailed reassessment of Chomsky’searly work at the advent of GenerativeGrammar. Informative and revealing,this book will be invaluable to all thoseworking in formal linguistics, inparticular those interested in its historyand development.Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 110

Linguistic UniversalsEdited by Ricardo MairalUniversidad National de Educación a Distancia,Madrid

The discovery of ‘linguistic universals’ –the properties that all languages have incommon – is a fundamental goal oflinguistic research. Linguists face thetask of accounting for why languages,which apparently differ so greatly fromone another on the surface, displaystriking similarities in their underlyingstructure. This volume brings together ateam of leading experts to show howdifferent linguistic theories haveapproached this challenge. Drawing onwork from both formal and functionalperspectives, it provides acomprehensive overview of the most

notable work on linguistic universals –with chapters on syntax, semantics,phonology, morphology and typology –and explores a range of central issues,such as the relationship betweenlinguistic universals and the languagefaculty, and what linguistic universalscan tell us about our biological make-upand cognitive abilities. Clear, succinct,and up-to-date, it will be invaluable toanyone seeking a greater understandingof the phenomenon that is humanlanguage.

Language and MindThird editionNoam ChomskyMassachusetts Institute of Technology

This is the long-awaited third edition of Chomsky’s outstanding collection of essays on language and mind. Thefirst six chapters, originally published in the 1960s, made a groundbreakingcontribution to linguistic theory. Thisnew edition complements them with an additional chapter and a newpreface, bringing Chomsky’s influentialapproach into the twenty-first century.Chapters 1–6 present Chomsky’s earlywork on the nature and acquisition oflanguage as a genetically endowed,biological system (Universal Grammar),through the rules and principles ofwhich we acquire an internalizedknowledge (I-language). Over the past fifty years, this framework hassparked an explosion of inquiry into a wide range of languages, and has yielded some major theoreticalquestions. The final chapter revisits thekey issues, reviewing the ‘biolinguistic’approach that has guided Chomsky’swork from its origins to the present day, and raising some novel andexciting challenges for the study of language and mind.

Derivations inMinimalismSamuel David EpsteinUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor

and T. Daniel SeelyEastern Michigan University

This pathbreaking study presents a newperspective on the role of derivation,the series of operations by whichsentences are formed. Working withinthe Minimalist Program and focusing on English, the authors develop anoriginal theory of generative syntax,providing illuminating new analyses of some central syntactic constructions.Two key questions are explored: first,can the Extended Projection Principle(EPP) be eliminated from Minimalistanalysis without loss, and perhaps with a gain in empirical coverage;and second, is the construct ‘A-Chain’similarly eliminable? The authors arguethat neither EPP nor the A-chain is infact a property of Universal Grammar,but rather their descriptive content canbe deduced from independentlymotivated properties of lexical items,in accordance with overarchingprinciples governing derivation.In investigating these questions, a range of new data is introduced, andexisting data re-analyzed, presenting a pioneering challenge to fundamentalassumptions in syntactic theory.Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 111

Subjects and theirPropertiesYehuda FalkHebrew University of Jerusalem

The ‘subject’ of a sentence is a conceptthat presents great challenges to linguists.Most languages have something whichlooks like a subject, but subjects differacross languages in their nature andproperties, making them an interestingphenomenon for those seeking linguisticuniversals. This pioneering volume takes anew approach to subjects, addressing theirnature from a simultaneously formal andtypological perspective. Dividing the subjectinto two distinct grammatical functions, itshows how the nature of these functionsexplains their respective properties, andargues that the split in properties shownin ‘ergative’ languages (whereby thesubject of intransitive verbs is marked as an object) results from the functionsbeing assigned to different elements of the clause. Drawing on data from atypologically wide variety of languages,including English, Hebrew, Tagalog, Inuitand Acehnese, it explains why, even in thecase of very different languages, certaincore properties can be found.Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 113

This unique three-volume survey bringstogether a team of leading scholars toexplore the syntactic and morphologicalstructures of the world’s languages.Clearly organized and broad-ranging,it covers topics such as parts-of-speech,passives, complementation, relativeclauses, adverbial clauses, inflectionalmorphology, tense, aspect, mood,and diexis. The contributors look at the major ways that these notions are realized, and provide informativesketches of them at work in a range of languages. Each volume is accessiblywritten and clearly explains each newconcept introduced. Although thevolumes can be read independently,together they provide an indispensablereference work for all linguists andfieldworkers interested in cross-linguisticgeneralizations. Most of the chapters in the second edition are substantiallyrevised or completely new – some ontopics not covered by the first edition.Volume I covers parts-of-speechsystems, word order, the noun phrase,clause types, speech act distinctions,the passive, and information packagingin the clause.

The CambridgeHandbook ofPhonologyEdited by Paul de LacyUniversity of Cambridge

Phonology – the study of how the soundsof speech are represented in our minds –is one of the major core areas of linguistictheory, and is central to the study ofhuman language. This state-of-the-arthandbook brings together the world’sleading experts in phonology to presentthe most comprehensive and detailedoverview of the field to date. Focusing onthe most recent research and the mostinfluential theories, the authors discusseach of the central issues in phonologicaltheory, explore a variety of empiricalphenomena, and show how phonologyinteracts with other aspects of languagesuch as syntax, morphology, phonetics,and language acquisition. Providing aone-stop guide to every aspect of thisimportant field, The CambridgeHandbook of Phonology will serve as aninvaluable source of readings foradvanced undergraduate and graduatestudents, an informative overview forlinguists, and a useful starting point foranyone beginning phonological research.

MarkednessReduction and Preservation in PhonologyPaul de LacyRutgers University, New Jersey

‘Markedness’ refers to the tendency of languages to show a preference for particular structures or sounds.This bias towards ‘marked’ elements is consistent within and acrosslanguages, and tells us a great dealabout what languages can and cannotdo. This pioneering study presents agroundbreaking theory of markedness in phonology. De Lacy argues thatmarkedness is part of our linguisticcompetence, and is determined by three conflicting mechanisms in thebrain: (a) pressure to preserve markedsounds (‘preservation’), (b) pressure to turn marked sounds into unmarkedsounds (‘reduction’), and (c) amechanism allowing the distinctionbetween marked and unmarked soundsto be collapsed (‘conflation’). He shows that due to these mechanisms,markedness occurs only whenpreservation is irrelevant. Drawing on examples of phenomena such asepenthesis, neutralization, assimilation,vowel reduction and sonority-drivenstress, Markedness offers an importantnew insight into this essential conceptin the understanding of humanlanguage.Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 112

What we say always consists of priorwords, structures and meanings that are combined in new ways and re-usedin new contexts for new listeners. In this book, Deborah Schiffrin looks attwo important tasks of language –presenting ‘who’ we are talking about(the referent) and ‘what happened’ to them (their actions and attributes) in a narrative – and explores how this presentation alters in relation toemergent forms and meanings. Drawingon examples from both face-to-face talkand public discourse, she analyses avariety of repairs, reformulations ofreferents, and retellings of narratives,ranging from word-level repairs within a single turn-at-talk, to life storynarratives told years apart. Bringingtogether work from conversationanalysis, interactional sociolinguistics,cognitive semantics, pragmatics, andvariation analysis, In Other Wordswill be invaluable for scholars wishingto understand the many different factors that underlie the shaping and re-shaping of discourse over time,place and person.Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics, 21

A large body of knowledge hasaccumulated in recent years on the cognitive processes and brainmechanisms underlying language. Muchof this knowledge has come from studiesof Indo-European languages, in particularEnglish. Japanese, a language of growinginterest to linguists, differs significantlyfrom most Indo-European languages inits grammar, its lexicon, and its writtenand spoken forms – features which haveprofound implications for the learning,representation and processing oflanguage. This handbook, the second in a three-volume series on East Asianpsycholinguistics, presents a state-of-the-art discussion of the psycholinguisticstudy of Japanese. With contributions byover fifty leading scholars, it covers topicsin first and second language acquisition,language processing and reading,language disorders in children andadults, and the relationships betweenlanguage, brain, culture, and cognition.It will be invaluable to all scholars andstudents interested in the Japaneselanguage, as well as cognitivepsychologists, linguists, andneuroscientists.

Sign Language andLinguistic UniversalsWendy SandlerUniversity of Haifa, Israel

Sign languages are of great interest tolinguists, because while they are theproduct of the same brain, their physicaltransmission differs greatly from that ofspoken languages. In this pioneering andoriginal study, Wendy Sandler and DianeLillo-Martin compare sign languages withspoken languages, in order to seek theuniversal properties they share. Drawingon general linguistic theory, they describeand analyze sign language structure,showing linguistic universals in thephonology, morphology, and syntax of sign language, while also revealingnon-universal aspects of its structure that must be attributed to its physicaltransmission system. No prior backgroundin sign language linguistics is assumed,and numerous pictures are provided to make descriptions of signs and facial expressions accessible to readers.Engaging and informative, Sign Languageand Linguistic Universals will beinvaluable to linguists, psychologists,and all those interested in signlanguages, linguistic theory and theuniversal properties of human languages.

Language, Cohesionand FormEdited by Yorick WilksUniversity of Sheffield

Margaret Masterman was a pioneer in the field of computationallinguistics. Working in the earliest days of language processing by computer,she believed that meaning, not grammar,was the key to understanding languages,and that machines could determine the meaning of sentences. This volume brings together Masterman’sgroundbreaking papers for the first time, showing the importance of herwork in the philosophy of science andthe nature of iconic languages. Of keyinterest in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, it will remindscholars of Masterman’s significantcontribution to the field.Studies in Natural Language Processing

In thispioneering collection, a team of leadingscholars review the spatial domain acrossa wide variety of languages. Contrary to existing assumptions, they show thatthere is great variation in the way space isconceptually structured across languages,thus substantiating the controversialquestion of how far the foundations ofhuman cognition are innate.

Linguistic Turns inModern PhilosophyMichael LosonskyColorado State University

This book traces the linguistic turns in thehistory of modern philosophy and thedevelopment of the philosophy oflanguage from Locke to Wittgenstein. Itexamines the contributions of canonicalfigures such as Leibniz, Mill, Frege, Russell,Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, and Davidson,as well as those of Condillac, Humboldt,Chomsky, and Derrida. Michael Losonskyargues that the philosophy of languagebegins with Locke’s Essay ConcerningHuman Understanding. He shows how thehistory of the philosophy of language inthe modern period is marked by adichotomy between formal and pragmaticperspectives on language and that modernphilosophy has not been able to integratethese two aspects of human language.The Evolution of Modern Philosophy

The Impact of High-Stakes Examinationson Classroom TeachingA case study using insights fromtesting and innovation theory Dianne Wall

It is widely believed that one of the mosteffective ways of creating change in aneducation system is by introducing or byre-designing high-stakes examinations. Thismethod is not foolproof, however, as thereare many factors which can affect theimpact of such an innovation. This studyanalyses the effects of an examinationwhich was meant to serve as a ‘lever forchange’. It illustrates how the intendedoutcome was altered by factors in theexam itself, as well as characteristics of theeducational setting, the teachers and thelearners. Included are reviews of theliterature of examination impact andinnovation in education, and guidelines forthe consideration of educators whocontinue to believe in the potential ofexaminations to effect curriculum change.
