This stimulating volume brings together an international team of emerging, mid-career, and senior scholars to investigate the relations between philosophical approaches to language and the language of literature. It has proven easy for philosophers of language to leave literary language to one side, just as it has proven easy for literary scholars to discuss questions of meaning separately from relevant issues in the philosophy of language. This volume brings the two together in mutually enlightening ways: considerations of literary meaning are deepened by adding philosophical approaches, just as philosophical issues are enriched by bringing them into contact or interweaving them with literary cases in all their subtlety. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College. His most recent book is Living in Words: Literature, Autobiographical Language, and the Composition of Selfhood.

Iedereen heeft wel een mening over taal. Over het gebruik van hun hebben, over de taal van Cruijff, over sms-taal, over Engelse woorden in het Nederlands. Maar wat weten we eigenlijk van taal? In De taalcanon komen alle belangrijke vragen over taal aan bod. Kun je je moedertaal ook vergeten? Verschilt een gebarentaal per land? Bestaat er een talenknobbel? Kun je een nieuwe taal bedenken? Is er ooit één oertaal geweest? Praten mannen en vrouwen verschillend? Hoe werkt spraakherkenning via de computer? Staan alle woorden in de Van Dale? En: wat is eigenlijk het nut van grammatica? Alle facetten van taal worden in De taalcanon van alle mogelijke kanten belicht. Ruim vijftig taalwetenschappers - zowel de ervaren en gerenommeerde, als de jonge en veelbelovende - schrijven met enthousiasme diepgravend en op een luchtige toon over dat wat hen zo boeit aan taal. Op deze manier wordt het verschijnsel taal voor iedereen inzichtelijk gemaakt.

This book builds on recent research exploring the intersection between language and social justice, using the multilingual context of Hawai'i as a case study. The author offers a discourse-centered approach, providing analyses of actual instances of language use, and argues that the wide range of languages in Hawai'i - Hawaiian, Pidgin, Japanese, Chinese, Tagalog, Ilocano, Marshallese, and Chuukese, as well as the phenomenon of language mixing - all have a significant contribution to make to society. The book also draws on language acquisition research demonstrating positive long-term effects of exposure to multiple languages, and makes the case for educational approaches that foster multilingual abilities among the young members of society. This book will be relevant for academics interested in the intersection of language and social justice and languages in Hawaiʻi, but it should also be of interest to undergraduate and especially graduate students in sociolinguistics, language revitalization and language documentation, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, and pragmatics. Scott Saft is Professor of Linguistics in the College of Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, USA. .

This book is an attempt to pay deliberate attention to some silences on issues of social, cultural, and political importance that have remained unattended in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Using an analytical framework developed by the French philosopher and cultural theorist Michel de Certeau, the author demonstrates how silences can actively shape the boundaries of a scholarly field. He argues that a "geography of the forgotten" in the field of CALL undermines the transformative and social justice potential of language teaching by using digital technologies. The book will appeal to graduate students, teacher educators, and academic researchers who are looking for fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for integrating technologies into the curriculum and pedagogy of language education. Anwar Ahmed is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at York University in Toronto, Canada.
