This major new reference work provides a comprehensive overview of linguistic phenomena in Mandarin and other dialects in a global context, highlighting the dynamic interaction between those languages and English. Through state-of-the-art accounts of various sub-fields such as applied linguistics, machine translation, English subtitling as cross-cultural mediation, technology in Chinese language teaching and global business communication, this Handbook offers a significant contribution to the field of Chinese language and linguistics. Examining fast-growing linguistic research areas on Chinese languages, ranging from research on language contact, Linguistic Typology, Cognitive Linguistics, Pragmatics, Forensic Linguistics, to Sinitic Kinship studies, it focuses on language contact situations inside and outside China, including the Cantonese and Hokkien diaspora, and Sinitic languages notably along the Belt and Road. Exploring how key Chinese concepts were coined at the beginning of the 20th century through interaction with European languages and how they have evolved, it also includes topics on the search for a universal language in the Chinese language context. Addressing core issues within Chinese language and culture and focusing on the sites and forms of interaction between Chinese and English, this Handbook encompasses a rich overview of the field, offering a global and interdisciplinary tool for students and researchers across the field of Chinese language and linguistics.

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 chapter presents an historical overview of the area, along with critical issues, current research and advice on the best practice for teaching phonetics to undergraduates. It brings together global perspectives, and includes examples from a wide range of languages, allowing readers to extend their knowledge beyond English. By providing both state-of-the-art research information, and an appreciation of how it can be shared with students, this handbook is essential both for academic phoneticians, and anyone with an interest in this exciting, rapidly developing field.

"Within the disciplinary framework devised by early translation studies scholars, the division between the descriptive and the applied research schemes has influenced the interaction and the cross-fertilisation of ideas and methodologies between the two research paradigms. For a long time after the circulation of the disciplinary map, descriptive research has been largely driven by intellectual efforts to verify or contest theoretical assumptions such as translation universal patterns, norms and laws, whereas the applied branch continues to evolve as the global translation industry which thrives and diversifies amidst intensified intercultural and inter-lingual communication at modern industrial scales"-- "Empirical translation studies is a rapidly evolving research area. This volume, written by world-leading researchers, demonstrates the integration of two new research paradigms: socially-oriented and data driven approaches to empirical translation studies. These two models expand current translation studies and stimulate reader debates around how development of quantitative research methods and integration with advances in translation technologies would significantly increase the research capacities of translation studies. Highly engaging, the volume pioneers the development of socially-oriented innovative research methods to enhance the current research capacities of theoretical (descriptive) translation studies in order to tackle real-life research issues, such as environmental protection and multicultural health promotion. Illustrative case studies are used, bringing insight into advanced research methodologies of designing, developing and analysing large scale digital databases for multilingual and/or translation research"--

This book presents a longitudinal research which coversa linguistic approach to understand and observelanguage learner agency. It makes connections between agency in discourse analyses and agency in applied linguistics by examining how learner agency is manifested in autobiographic oral narratives and influenced by contextual factors. This book also demonstrates that agency is not a fixed entity that English learners possess, but a dynamic construct constantly negotiated by the learners with the social world. It is the result of their identity positioning and repositioning within a complex and ever-changing context. Learner identities, either actual or imagined, are significantly correlated with their investment in English and their English learning process.This book sheds new light on teaching English as a foreign language and gives inspirations for enhancing English learners' agency in contemporary context of China. As learner agency should be treated in a dynamic and process view, a low level of agency manifested in a particular period or in a certain context may not necessarily persist in later periods or extend to other contexts. Provided with supportive contextual conditions and taking on positive and powerful identities, language learners are well on the course for higher levels of agency.
