This handbook showcases North America's indigenous languages, showing them to be numerous, diverse, complex, culturally significant, and valuable to the study of human language as a whole. The chapters run the gamut by covering those that are no longer spoken, to those that serve as a daily medium of communication. The work shows how, historically, they have suffered from the erasure efforts of genocidal outsiders, and been the subject of intense internal struggles to remain vital. The study, and maintenance, of these languages is, in a word, important. The Handbook of North American Indigenous Languages and Linguistics serves as a detailed, sweeping overview of the current trends and future directions of scholarship into the indigenous languages of North America. The volume brings together both established and emerging voices, while also showcasing the work of scholars representing their own indigenous communities. In both scope and in tone, it serves as a landmark reference for scholars and students who research this vibrant branch of linguistic study, work, and practice.

This book investigates the processes and products of the language work of social media influencers (SMIs) and copywriters in the advertising industry.

Olivia Droz-dit-Busset examines the mediatised discourses, metadiscourses and working processes of SMIs and copywriters, exploring how SMIs might be considered as 'new- generation' copywriters. The volume makes the case for not only exploring the advertising textual products created by these wordsmiths (i.e. relatively elite language workers) but also the underpinning workflows behind them. In doing so, Droz-dit-Busset reveals how SMIs' and copywriters' strategic use of frame-shifting, voice work and professional labelling illuminates broader transformations in how language work, and labour more generally, is valued, organised and legitimised in contemporary digital economies.

This essential volume will appeal to scholars in sociolinguistics, digital media studies and professional communication, as well as practitioners interested in understanding how new forms of language work are reshaping traditional advertising and marketing practices in the social media age.

The Routledge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology is an extensive and authoritative collection of topical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the broad field of linguistic anthropology. Now in its second edition, it has been fully updated to address current and pressing global challenges and inspire action.

Carefully edited by Bonvillain and Garcia-Sanchez, this volume advances readers' understanding of how language intersects with power structures, social identities of gender, race, sexual orientation, cognitive processes, and neurodiversity. Across 28 chapters, contributors outline the foundations and key issues of linguistic anthropology, particularly language ideologies, while exploring practical approaches to research. Drawing from their research experience in universities across North America and abroad, they particularly emphasize ways in which theories and methodologies can contribute to social action and social justice movements on environmental and transitional justice, immigration and multilingualism, and Indigenous language revitalization or reawakening.

This handbook is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of applied and linguistic anthropology.

This comprehensive volume offers a framework for understanding the descriptive and prescriptive functions of oral narratives. Drawing upon narratological theory and linguistic analysis, it traces the evolution of folktales across generations, showcasing how they adapt to changing societal contexts while maintaining their core functions.

The book investigates the intersections of language, culture, and narrative, offering a rich, cross-disciplinary perspective that highlights the enduring relevance of oral traditions in constructing and preserving ethnic identity. It examines how narrative forms contribute to the continuity of cultural memory, linguistic diversity, and social cohesion. Exploring the narratological and linguistic structures of Dogri folktales, this study illuminates a crucial facet of the cultural heritage of the Dogra community in Jammu and Kashmir. Folktales are presented not merely as entertainment but as powerful tools of cultural transmission, embodying deeply rooted moral, social, and philosophical values.

This book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and educators in the fields of linguistics, folklore studies, cultural anthropology, literature, and South Asian studies. It will also serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, cultural preservationists, and general readers.

Environment through Time: Diachronic Studies in Ecolinguistics is a nuanced and engaging study of the changing way we talk about the environment and why it matters.

Drawing on large collections of temporally structured, naturally occurring English language use, this book investigates whether patterns of language and the ways we talk about a variety of ecological keywords such as wilderness, climate change, hurricanes, animals and more have shifted in contemporary discourse. While it is widely recognized that cultural, social, and technological changes influence language use, this book explores how ecological change and our shifting perceptions of the more-than-human world are also reflected in language across time. Through the practical case studies, Poole highlights how the ways we perceive, understand, relate to, and act in relation to the more-than-human world are dynamic, ever evolving, and captured in language use through time. Importantly, the book considers what these changes in language use say about ecological wellbeing in this era of climate crisis.

Organized thematically and characterized by a practical corpus-based methodology for exploring language change, this innovative text is an indispensable resource for students and researchers in ecolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and discourse studies.

In traditional Chinese dialectology, Cantonese is widely regarded as the standard variety of the Yue (?) dialect group. According to Ethnologue 2025, Cantonese has an estimated 86 million native speakers worldwide. It is predominantly spoken in the southernmost regions of China, including Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, and Nanning, as well as in various overseas communities.

This Handbook, organized into 46 chapters across seven sections, offers a systematic and comprehensive exploration of Cantonese. It delves into a broad spectrum of topics in Cantonese linguistics, such as phonetics and phonology, syntax, semantics, and morphology, alongside extralinguistic aspects like Cantonese teaching and learning, language and society, the history of Cantonese, and its study in the era of big data. The contributors represent a diverse range of regions, including Australia, Canada, Mainland China, the Czech Republic, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Macau, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

This Handbook serves as an indispensable resource for scholars and students of Chinese and general linguistics. It not only deepens readers' understanding of the Cantonese language system but also highlights its connections with other languages and academic disciplines.

This comprehensive volume showcases cutting-edge research on stuttering from a wide range of perspectives including neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, speech-motor control, language effects, machine learning, disability studies, treatment options and assessment. Featuring the work of a diverse range of specialist authors from around the globe, the book discusses psychological, neuroscientific and medical aspects of stuttering.

Several core topics are introduced by tutorial chapters written by specialists. These explain modern approaches in a way that is accessible to non-specialists, sometimes introducing developments not yet applied to stuttering research that have the potential to impact future work on stuttering. Tutorial chapters are followed by content chapters digging deeper into the topic, and highlighting a range of up-to-date research in the field. The book also features discussions of neuroplasticity in people who stutter, and explores a range of assistive technologies including virtual reality and mobile apps.

The Routledge International Handbook of Stuttering will be essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of fluency disorders, speech and language pathology, communication studies and applied linguistics.

Learning Language: First Language, Bilingual, and Second Language Acquisition is the first textbook to offer a holistic introduction to language acquisition, combining from three key fields: child first language acquisition, bi- and mulitilingual acquisition, and second language acquisition.

Rich in pedagogy, this innovative book adopts a distinct interdisciplinary approach to coherently explain how languages are learned. Organized around the linguistic targets of acquisition (sounds, words, structures, communication), the book offers a clear and deep understanding of the commonalities and divergence among these three research traditions. In this volume, Adams, Warren and Wright survey both the core theory principles and research practices in each area. They support students, researchers, and instructors by providing clear explanations, illustrative examples, and a wide range of instructional materials: from an overview of key research methods and guiding theories to definitions of key terms, reflection questions to spark discussion, and class exercises. Downloadable material is also available, including practical exercises, additional readings, and suggested research topics. Instructors and readers can choose to follow the book structure or to use the three sections within each of parts II-IV independently, focusing on each type of language acquisition in turn.

This unique book provides an ideal basis for introductory courses in language acquisition, ESOL, applied linguistics for language teaching, child language development, and speech pathology programs. It also serves as a flexible and accessible resource for anyone interested in applied linguistics and language acquisition.

Interpreting Korean Communication and Narrative presents a ground-breaking framework for the cross-cultural analysis of Korean multimodal communication and narrative within its own cultural and linguistic contexts.

By combining rigorous formal methods rooted in Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT) with culturally grounded Korean socio-pragmatic primitives, the book provides Anglophone (culturally Western) researchers with the tools to decode the intricate interplay of verbal, non-verbal, and prosodic modalities that shape meaning in Korean narrative. Through extensive analysis and data collection of 169 extracts from South Korean films, this study shows how these socio-pragmatic expressions function systematically within Korean social hierarchies and cultural contexts, revealing conventions of communication which are often invisible to foreign viewers. The development of the Korean Segmented Film Discourse Representation Theory (K-SFDRT) and its system of graphical representation in Korean Segmented Film Discourse Structures (K-SFDRS) represents a major advance in multimodal research, offering a formal, replicable, and culturally contextualised methodology that decolonises research of Korean media, arts, and communication. It sets a new standard for multimodal research, providing a pioneering approach to understanding the dynamics of narrative and interaction in culturally rich contexts.

Making visible the role of multimodal honorifics in South Korean narrative cohesion, Interpreting Korean Communication and Narrative offers key insights to researchers and graduate students of film, translation, Korean studies, and multimodal communication.
