Call for Papers:
Coexistence of borrowed and native word formation morphology is a widespread if not universal characteristic of languages (Matras & Sakel 2007; Gardani, Arkadiev & Amiridze 2015). In many cases, foreign derived morphemes occupy specific lexical strata or registers, reflecting a compartmentalisation into native and borrowed subsystems (Matras 2009). For example, English word formation features both native Germanic and borrowed Latinate suffixes (e.g., -ness vs. -ity, respectiv

This book introduces dialogist interpretation as an innovative approach within interpreting studies, offering a critical examination of interpreter-mediated asylum encounters. Based on a case study of a legal consultation in the Netherlands, the book reveals how internal dialogues, linguistic assumptions, institutional constraints and systemic biases influence credibility assessments and shape asylum narratives. Drawing on the author鈥檚 experience as a researcher, interpreter and former asylum se
This book focuses on the experiences of 1.5 generation Filipinos in Japan, charting their life histories and educational experiences in both the Philippines and Japan. Against a background of transnational migrations between both countries, and varying levels of Japanese as a Second Language and educational support for immigrant/non-Japanese speaking children in Japanese schools, the author uses a narrative, life history approach to consider how the participants use their educational histories a

Translation and interpreting (T&I) process studies have traditionally applied methods from psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology to shed light on the processes and behaviours underlying various tasks of mediated communication. Recently, there has been a call for a more holistic approach to t

Expressivity is a category in natural languages that concerns the direct expression of emotions and attitudes (in contrast to their description). Expressive meaning can be conveyed at all linguistic level: by lexical expressions, special syntactic constructions, intonation or on the pragmatic level by expressive speech acts.
While expressivity has been approached from many different angles and has been studied in almost all disciplines of linguistics (see the Oxford Han
