A rigorous, yet accessible and entertaining introduction to the field of logic, this book provides students with a unique insight into logic as a living field and how it connects to other fields of inquiry including philosophy, computer science, linguistics, and mathematics. With no background knowledge needed, students are introduced to a critical examination of 'classical logic', and the technical issues and paradoxes that may be encountered. Each chapter includes key pedagogical features such as marginal notes, definitions, chapter summaries and practice exercises. Arguments are backed up by authentic examples of logic within natural languages and everyday life. The flexible chapter structure allows instructors to tailor their teaching for either a one-semester or two-semester course, according to their students' needs and knowledge. Online resources include a companion website featuring further readings, class handouts, LaTeX resources, along with an Online Proof Evaluator allowing students to get real-time feedback.

Carr, Georgia, The Language of Sex Education: With Respect to Consent. (Bloomsbury Studies in Systemic Functional Linguistics) 236 pp. 2025:1 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <736-1615>
ISBN 978-1-350-46107-9 hard ¥27,170.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

This book offers a deep dive into sex education pedagogy in the Australian context, taking a close look at the language used to teach the key topics of consent and respect. It examines questions students ask, how teachers accommodate different beliefs in their classrooms, and how students learn about more values-based topics including consent, respectful relationships, and gender and sexuality diversity. It also considers what teaching and assessment looks like over the course of a school term and what makes a 'successful' student. In short it answers the question - how is sex education actually taught? The Language of Sex Education provides the first book-length treatment of the language of sex education, offering a detailed account of pedagogy from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The study is situated in the Australian context, though has broader relevance to places such as New Zealand, North America, and the United Kingdom whose sex education is historically and culturally comparable to that of Australia. The book provides descriptions of the key topics of consent and respect, illustrating how teachers impart technical knowledge and how they support students to adopt and challenge the nuanced values needed when engaging with sex education. It does this through new descriptions of key linguistic resources of technicality and iconization that synthesize the central knowledge and values of the field. Through these descriptions and analyses, this book not only provides a detailed account of sex education pedagogy, but also offers new insights into the role of language in building fields and building communities.

This book explores the intersections of neoliberalism, translation, and interpreting, a scarcely explored topic in the field of translation studies across diverse regions, including Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, covering four primary themes that offer unique perspectives on how neoliberal ideologies influence translation and interpreting. The first theme uses data triangulation to delve into the influence of market-driven ideologies on translation and interpreting curriculum globally as well as the neoliberal tendencies of the trainees in China and Korea. The second theme investigates the effects of top-down neoliberal policies on translation services and practices in Australia, Canada, and the UAE, examining how these policies influence service quality, working conditions, and the balance between market demands and academic requirements. The third theme assesses the influence of technology and neoliberalism on the translation and interpreting labor market, providing a critical analysis of the automation of translation workflows, the rise of non-standard employment arrangements, and the socio-economic challenges faced by translation professionals. The final theme analyzes the intersection of neoliberalism and translation at the discourse level, employing various approaches including critical discourse analysis and content analysis to explore how neoliberal values manifest in translated texts and practices in China, Iran, and USA. This book is an essential resource for academics, postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, educators, and practitioners interested in the dynamic interplay between neoliberalism and translation, offering new insights and critical perspectives that contribute to a deeper understanding of the socio-economic forces shaping the field of translation and interpreting.

Pantuchowicz, Agnieszka / Warso, A. / Oki, E. (eds.), Normativity and Resilience in Translation and Culture. (Cultures in Translation 6) 206 pp. 2024:7 (P. Lang, SZ) <736-1623>
ISBN 978-3-631-91448-9 hard ¥14,546.- (税込) SFR 58.00

This book addresses the dynamics of normativity and resilience through the lens of translation. Engaging with both domestic and foreign cultural, social, economic, and ethical frameworks, the act of translation emerges as a dual force: it uncovers subtle and implicit pressures that encourage adherence to the dominant norm and has the capacity to question, disrupt or even subvert this norm. The concept of resilience, considered in its multifaceted roles as an aspect of the norm, as a means to withstand normative pressures, and as a normative demand in itself, further complicates the relationship between individual agency, systemic constraints, and collective expectations. Essays in this book explore how translation not only reflects but also contests the dynamics of power and identity within the fabric of societal and cultural norms.

Ausgangspunkt sind zwei Gruppen mehrsprachiger Personen mit unterschiedlichem Sprachhintergrund, die einen Kiswahili-Text ins Deutsche uebersetzen sollen. Es zeigt sich, dass auch andere bekannte Sprachen, die nicht in der Aufgabenstellung vorkamen, eine wichtige Rolle bei der Bewaeltigung der Aufgabe spielen. Der Sprachgebrauch, die Situiertheit und die Art und Weise des Erwerbs des Deutschen sind entscheidende Faktoren ? sie beeinflussen sowohl den Sprachverarbeitungsprozess als auch das Endprodukt.

ISBN 978-3-0343-4505-7 paper ¥21,819.- (税込) SFR 87.00

Storytelling as a cultural practice permeates all phases and areas of human life and opens up possible worlds. From their earliest days, children grow into a culture of storytelling, acquire language and literature, develop writing skills, and learn to communicate through storytelling in multimodal ways: orally and in writing, by playing, drawing, designing, singing, dancing and more. Through the process of narrating, experiences are structured, identities are formed, social contexts are shaped, and desires and futures are imagined. Narrative connects different times in history, various disciplinary fields in education and diverse linguistic-cultural spaces, but it also requires time and space itself. Against the background of an educational landscape that is currently competence-oriented, the question arises as to what role the art of storytelling plays in educational contexts, and what possibilities it opens up for learning. This edited volume aims to address this question, theoretically and empirically, from pedagogical and linguistic perspectives.
