The Syntax of Dutch presents a synthesis of current thinking on Dutch syntax. Its principal focus is on describing the Dutch language; technical issues related to linguistic theory are addressed only if new light is shed on the subject.

The work is organized around the four lexical categories verbs (volumes 1-3),nouns (volumes 4-5), adjectives (volume 6), and adpositions (volume 7). It includes a general introduction to the semantic, morphological, and syntactic properties of these categories, their argument structure, their modification possibilities, and issues related to word order. The functional categories (determiners, complementizers, etc.) are discussed in relation to the lexical categories with which they occur. Volume 8 concludes the work by considering a number of issues that extend beyond proper sentence grammar: main-clause external elements, coordination, and ellipsis.

The Syntax of Dutch will be an indispensable resource for researchers and advanced students of languages and linguistics interested in the Dutch language.

• covers key areas in Hispanic applied linguistics including teaching and learning Spanish as a second language (L2), Spanish in the professions, discourse analysis, and social and political issues related to the Spanish language;
• provides state-of-the-art knowledge contributed by prominent scholars and researchers from institutions around the world;
• offers a multidisciplinary approach written in English to the analysis and resolution of language-based issues in Spanish-speaking environments;
• addresses the increasingly varied needs of graduates in Hispanic linguistics, noting how they run in parallel to the study of practical applications of Spanish.

Across forty chapters, contributors identify growing opportunities for Spanish graduates in various areas, including teaching, translation and interpretation, language program administration, instructional technology, and content creation.

Wide-encompassing and future-oriented, this handbook is an ideal resource for students and researchers of the Spanish language and applied linguistics as well as teachers and professionals.

With almost six hundred languages and dialects and around three and a half billion speakers, the Indo-European language family is the largest language family in the world, encompassing most languages in Europe (nowadays also widely spoken in many former European colonies), the Iranian plateau, and the northern Indian subcontinent.

Written by an international team of experts, The Indo-European Languages offers in-depth discussions of the historical development and linguistic features of all major branches of the Indo-European languages in a comprehensive, single-volume tome. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect the latest research, ensuring accuracy and relevance throughout.

This unique resource remains the ideal reference for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Indo-European linguistics and languages, as well as for experienced researchers seeking an up-to-date survey of separate Indo-European branches and Proto-Indo-European reconstruction. It will appeal both to scholars and enthusiasts of historical linguistics, language variation, language typology and classical Indo-European languages.

Moroccan Judeo-Arabic Dialects as Jewish Languages provides an in-depth analysis of the diachrony and synchrony of the Judeo-Arabic dialects formed in Morocco from the 16th onwards, their diversity, their constituents, their forms, their categories, and their uses in community and family life.

Drawing on extensive linguistic data from a wide range of sources, including manuscripts and oral performances, this book examines the phonetics, phonology and morphology of the Judeo-Arabic dialects to offer insightful analyses and discoveries. Framed by a theoretical and methodological introduction, this book combines the findings of fieldwork with hundreds of informants from over 130 urban and rural Moroccan Jewish communities, for whom Judeo-Arabic is their mother tongue and primary language, with the advantages of modern linguistic, sociolinguistic, and socio-pragmatic analyses that allow for a better understanding of natural dialectal phenomena and their interpretation.

The book will be relevant to scholars of Arabic dialectology, sociolinguistics, and Jewish languages.

Media representations of linguistic diversity matter. In this innovative book, Bednarek uses a case study of Australian television dialogue to introduce novel methods for studying such representations.

The volume examines 16 television series holistically, presenting a new approach called corpus-based sociocultural linguistics. This means applying corpus methods such as keyword analysis, lexical profiling and concordancing, while integrating concepts such as indexicality, enregisterment, and language ideology. In so doing, Bednarek makes a strong case for television dialogue as a rich site for the sociocultural construction of identity and explores self-representations of marginalised varieties (Australian Aboriginal English). What are the possibilities for improved linguistic representations in this context? How are viewers exposed to linguistic variation and diversity? Although the book focuses on a specific Australian context, it seeks to be of relevance to anyone studying media representations of language variation, linguistic diversity, and social identity. It offers a comprehensive corpus-based sociocultural linguistic analysis of television dialogue, showcasing implications for research on indexicality and the integration of corpus linguistics and sociolinguistic perspectives.

This book will appeal to students and scholars in corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language and media, stylistics, and pragmatics.

Drawing on the rank-scale hypothesis of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this book explores the synergetic relationships among syntactic complexities at the sentence, clause, and group levels. It also examines how these relationships vary among academic English writers of different proficiency levels.

Viewing language as a dynamic, self-organizing, and self-regulating system, the book examines how changes in complexity at higher levels affect their constituent units. Linguistic complexity is conceptualized systematically across four dimensions: sentence, clause, group, and word. Dependency grammar is employed as an accessible, quantitative metric for complexity analysis. Through an analysis of academic texts produced by three groups of writers with varying levels of proficiency-Chinese Master's students, Chinese Doctoral students, and native English-speaking Doctoral students-the study identifies features of academic writing related to proficiency and uncovers interrelationships among the four dimensions of linguistic complexity. Based on these findings, the book proposes a synergetic model of linguistic complexity that illustrates how these dimensions interact and achieve dynamic balance in English academic writing across different proficiency levels.

This book offers valuable insights for researchers, educators, and graduate students. It provides theoretical exploration and practical guidance for teaching and assessing academic writing.

How do young children comprehend complex sentences when intervening elements disrupt understanding? This book explores a key puzzle: children often struggle to link phrases across distance when similar phrases intervene - an "intervention effect" that sheds light on how the mind constructs grammatical structure.

Using Mandarin Chinese passive sentences as a uniquely clear test case, the author integrates naturalistic speech data with carefully designed comprehension experiments involving Mandarin-speaking preschoolers. The findings reveal that children's difficulties are not merely due to memory constraints or unfamiliarity with the construction. Instead, they stem from a stricter application of a grammatical principle that also governs adult language. Importantly, only mismatches in features that are actively involved in a language's grammar - rather than any perceptible differences between phrases - help children to overcome these challenges.

Drawing on evidence from languages such as Hebrew, Italian, Greek, English, and Mandarin, this study offers fresh perspectives on the universal architecture of grammar and its development in early childhood. It is an essential resource for scholars and students in Linguistics, Chinese Language Studies, and Developmental Psychology.

Building on recent scholarship in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and social practice theories, this book reconceptualizes reading comprehension as intertextual practices.

Rather than view reading comprehension as the interaction of a reader and a text, the book outlines reading comprehension as a set of dynamic social practices enacted by people in and across social events in which they together build and assign meaning to one or more written language texts. The interactive meaning-building process is inherently intertextual as people act and react to each other, propose connections among multiple texts, and reflect and refract social practices, histories, and ideologies. The theorizing in this book is oriented to generating new images and metaphors to imagine 'reading comprehension' differently. The reconceptualization also derives from using jazz as a metaphor for reading comprehension.

This is a key resource for scholars, graduate students, and teachers in reading and literacy education.

Newman offers a unique account of eleven commonly used verbs of British English (eat, drink, sit, stand, lie, etc.), combining corpus-linguistic methods and the analytical tools of Langacker's Cognitive Grammar. For each verb, an original data set of 100 concordance lines representing both spoken and written registers is the basis for identifying patterns of usage and their relative frequencies.

The empirical approach leads to usage-based conclusions that are not usually found in dictionaries or grammars, e.g., patterns of cooccurrence of phrases with the verbs and the relative frequencies of the verbs in their non-literal senses. Complementing the usage-based analysis of each verb is a Cognitive Grammar account of the main semantic structures associated with the verbs, employing intellectually provocative Langacker-style diagrammatic representations. The verbs may be very "ordinary" words in the view of speakers who will feel that they know these verbs very well. Subjecting them to analysis as in this book, however, shows them to have considerable semantic complexity, even when used in their everyday literal senses, and an impressive richness in the range of their semantic extensions.

Perfect for researchers and postgraduate students in cognitive linguistics and English language study.

This book provides a new take on the longstanding puzzle of intervention effects in questions, whereby specific scopal expressions block the interpretation of wh-elements when they occupy a particular position in the semantic representation.

Its central argument is that intervention effects are not a homogeneous phenomenon with a uniform underlying structure mapped to a single interpretive mechanism. Rather, they have distinct sources-a distinction that, to date, has not been systematically made in the study of intervention. The work distinguishes two types of intervention: one stemming from focus-based interpretation failure and another rooted in topicality constraints. Consequently, it proposes a new typology that clarifies the field and paves the way for future cross-linguistic research.

Semanticists, syntacticians, pragmatics researchers, and experts in logic and the philosophy of language will find this book illuminating.

Feminist Subversion of Linguistic Sexism in Contemporary China: Discursive Warfare provides an in-depth investigation of gender discourse with a focus on social labeling in post-reform China.

The book delves into society's tendency to perceive women in categories, explores the social and historical context of mainstream media's role in perpetuating sexism, demonstrates feminist discursive empowerment in cyberspace, and sheds light on the complexities of a feminist awakening in today's China. Using corpus linguistics analysis, critical discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics analysis, the book highlights feminist subversion of linguistic sexism in public gender discourse, illustrating shifting roles for women from being passive targets of gender labeling to proactive agents rebuking the biased gender order. It offers a fresh perspective that encourages readers to view language as a conduit for belief systems, often operating beneath the surface, and to recognize its role in constructing and challenging gender norms. It also provides readers with a deeper understanding of contemporary Chinese women's aspirations for agency and their determined resistance against the masculinist nature of state order.

This is a key resource for scholars and postgraduate students of Chinese language and linguistics with a particular interest in media, political, and gender discourse.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the development of the translation of children's literature into Arabic, providing unique insights into the prominent role of Kamil Kilani in shaping its history as well as for the translation of children's literature more broadly.

The volume surveys existing scholarship on the translation of children's literature, which encourages cross-cultural understanding and the promotion of reading in minority languages. In particular, Ayoub and Elimam call attention to translation by adaptation as the driving force in many most translations of children's literature into Arabic and other languages in which cultural differences between source and target languages can prove challenging. The book reflects on Kilani's importance to the translation of Arabic children's literature as one of the first writers to specialize in adapting works for Arab children, charting his influence through the use of narrative theory and framing strategies in adaptations. A final chapter examines the limitations and opportunities of the study, building toward new research on adaptations as the primary route for translations of children's literature both in Arabic and beyond.

This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies, adaptation studies, Arabic literature, and children's literature.
