Focus: The 2025 FUSP Summer School focuses on materiality, acknowledging the burgeoning transdisciplinary interest in the experience of translation as an 鈥渆ngaged, situated social practice鈥� (Campbell and Vidal 2024) involving 鈥渕eaning-making across physical, social and cultural domains鈥� (Blumczynski 2023). Thematic directions include the study of translated objects (Vidal Claramonte 2025), the materiality of print culture (book history, periodical studies, archives), sites and artefacts in trans

The TripleA workshop series was founded in 2014 by linguists from Potsdam and T眉bingen with the aim of providing a platform for researchers that conduct theoretically-informed linguistic fieldwork on meaning. Its focus is particularly on languages that are under-represented in the current research landscape, including but not limited to languages of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, hence TripleA.

According to Cangemi and Bauman (2020), 鈥渇ew concepts in phonetics and phonology research are as widely used and as vaguely defined as is the notion of prominence鈥�. The authors argue, however, that the integration of phonetics and phonology in the study of linguistic prominence is crucial. Indeed, the two disciplines are often used to put certain elements forward (being thus more prominent) in speech. Similar processes on other linguistic levels can be witnessed, as for insta
PRELIMINARIES
I need to begin my review by saying something about how I am reviewing this handbook. Most handbooks have several characteristics that set them apart from other books, including other books that are reviewed here at Linguist List:
1) Handbooks tend to be quite large. The Oxford Handbook of Word Classes reviewed here weighs in at 45 chapters and more than a thousand pages. This precludes my giving the usual chapter-by-chapter summary, since that would take more space than t
SUMMARY
Section 1: Introduction
The author situates her discussion on VMC (video-mediated communication) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting how this event accelerated the adoption of technology and revealed the challenges and opportunities it presents. She also emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand the interactional dynamics specific to VMC. Indeed, she points out that while pedagogical and technical aspects have been extensively documented by rese
SUMMARY
The book called 鈥楽elf- and Other-Reference in Social Contexts鈥� is a collection of high-quality studies within the Pragmatics & Beyond New Series that encompasses the richness of Pragmatics as an interdisciplinary field, along with Discourse Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. The book is a collection of eight chapters, where each chapter covers a full study that is connected to self- and other-reference.
Chapter 1. 鈥楽elf- and Other-Reference in Social Contexts: From global to
Phonetics - the study and classification of speech sounds - is a major sub-discipline of linguistics. Bringing together a team of internationally renowned phoneticians, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent, cutting-edge work in the field, and focuses on the most widely-debated contemporary issues. Chapters are divided into five thematic areas: segmental production, prosodic production, measuring speech, audition and perception, and applications of phonetics. Each chap
Sentence comprehension - the way we process and understand spoken and written language - is a central and important area of research within psycholinguistics. This book explores the contribution of computational linguistics to the field, showing how computational models of sentence processing can help scientists in their investigation of human cognitive processes. It presents the leading computational model of retrieval processes in sentence processing, the Lewis and Vasishth cue-based retrieval
Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767鈥�1835), an early pioneer in the philosophy of language, linguistic and educational theory, was not only one of the 铿乺st European linguists to identify human language as a rule-governed system 鈥搕he foundational premise of Noam Chomsky's generative theory 鈥� or to re铿俥ct on cognition in studying language; he was also a major scholar of Indigenous American languages. However, with his famous naturalist brother Alexander 'stealing the show,' Humboldt's contributions to lingu
Although it feels like we live in a time of seeming hopelessness, this pioneering book illustrates what language can teach us about the practice, logic, and feasibility of hope in the twenty-铿乺st century. Silva and Lee highlight how people living in Brazilian urban peripheries, who have grown accustomed to unrelenting prejudice and violence on an everyday basis, use language to survive and imagine futures that are worth aspiring to. In so doing, this book foregrounds how language becomes a matte
This Element offers a comprehensive account of the unprecedented spread of English as a global language by taking historical, sociolinguistic, and pedagogical perspectives. To realize this mission, it opens with an accessible discussion of the historical trajectory of the English language with qualitative and quantitative connections to its contemporary diversity in terms of forms, roles, functions, uses, users, and contexts of English as a global and multilingual franca.
