This volume showcases recent sociolinguistic research about Wales and offers contributions from scholars working on Welsh, English and other languages spoken in the country. The chapters present a range of frameworks and methodologies used in sociolinguistics and apply them to the Welsh linguistic context. This context is very distinctive compared to the rest of the UK and represents a prime ground to observe different aspects of the interplay between language and society. The structure of the volume reflects the linguistic diversity of the country and is divided into three sections. The first section examines recent research on Welsh, the second section focuses on English, and the third section deals with research on Welsh and English together, as well as research on other languages spoken in Wales. The book will be useful to those wanting to discover more about language and society in Wales, as well as to those already working in the field as it offers new perspectives and insights.

This volume proposes that words in Palauan are not drawn directly from a mental lexicon, but are instead composed at least partially in the syntax. Using original data from syntactic constructions not previously explored in the language, the author entertains several competing theories of word formation and highlights the compatible and incompatible aspects of each, through an exploration into new corners of Palauan syntax and morphology. The volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the syntax of Palauan that will appeal to anyone interested in Austronesian languages or formal syntactic and morphological theory more generally.

This volume combines psycholinguistic experiments with typological investigations in order to provide a comprehensive exploration of the linguistic structure of verb-number agreement in bilingual speakers, with a particular focus on the Turkish language. It takes as its starting point the question of which linguistic structures pose difficulties for bilingual speakers, and then proceeds to evaluate the question by using the interface phenomenon of optional verb number agreement. In doing so, this volume investigates how the bilingual mind handles grammatical structures that demand high processing sources, working towards a processing-based linguistic framework for the bilingual mind. Beginning with a thorough survey of the current research of the interface phenomenon in the bilingual mind, the volume then proceeds to present two separate studies on each linguistic interface type, namely semantics-syntax interface and syntax-pragmatics interface, thus filling a number of gaps in the bilingualism research with regards to the interface phenomenon The results and conclusions of these studies are then integrated with current knowledge and research from the field within a theoretical and processing-based framework in order to explore new psycholinguistic insights for the bilingual mind, specifically the conclusion that the grammar of bilingual speakers is shaped according to cross linguistic tendencies. Ultimately, it provides a unified account and a comprehensive conclu sion regarding the non-native-like patterns in grammar of bilingual speakers. Serving as a fascinating and timely resource, Competing Structures in the Bilingual Mind: An Investigation of Optional Verb Number Agreement will appeal to bilingualism researchers, clinical linguists, cognitive scientists, experimental linguists, and any linguist specializing in Turkic or Altaic languages.

This book shows that the semantic analysis of modal notions of possibility and necessity can be used to enhance our understanding of the interpretation of reports of belief or emotional state. It introduces intuitive notation and terminology to express ideas in modern theories of modal interpretation that are normally represented in complex logical formulas, effectively updates the 1960s-era link between possible worlds and the semantics of propositional attitude ascriptions, and reconciles two disparate views of the role of events in semantic interpretation, that of Donald Davidson and that of David Lewis. It reduces a host of variable behaviors of propositional attitude ascription to an intuitive and precise distinction between ascriptions that merely express a commitment to propositional content versus ones that attribute a mental state to the holder of the propositional attitude. This leads to an explanation of the nature and effects of the language disorder of fluent aphasia.

Expressing location is one of the most common linguistic tasks that we perform in our daily lives. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis into how speakers of English and French use gesture as well as speech when describing where objects are located. It shows that spoken locative expressions are made up of both speech and gesture components, and that the two modalities contribute in a complementary fashion to convey locative meaning.

"Familière à tous locuteurs, grammairiens, linguistes et pédagogues, la manière fait partie des notions qui se laissent appréhender intuitivement sans trop de difficulté, mais qui s'avèrent extrêmement rétives à une définition rigoureuse. Les quelques définitions disponibles dans la littérature relèvent plutôt de l'intuition que d'une véritable description linguistique. Rarement posée de façon explicite, la question de savoir ce qu'est exactement la manière reste ouverte. Le présent ouvrage ose poser cette question ! Le lecteur y découvrira que, contrairement à l'opinion couramment répandue, les adverbes et autres compléments dits de manière (descendre lentement, répondre avec courtoisie) ne sont pas les seuls moyens d'exprimer cette notion en français. Y participent aussi comme et comment, ainsi que certains noms (manière, mode, méthode) et de nombreux verbes verbes simples (marcher, murmurer, dévorer) ou verbes construits par suffixation (sautiller, voleter). Cette prise en compte des différents modes d'expression en français permet aux auteurs de dégager les principaux mécanismes de construction de la notion de manière et d'en proposer une définition unitaire, articulée à certaines notions connexes, comme celles d'instrument, de moyen, de qualité, de comparaison, de quantité... Le lecteur trouvera également, brièvement retracée, la genèse du concept de manière dans la tradition occidentale, de la rhétorique antique à la linguistique contemporaine en passant par la grammaire scolaire, ainsi qu'un aperçu critique de l'abondante littérature relative aux adverbes de manière. À la fois accessible à un large public de non spécialistes (étudiants, enseignants de français langue maternelle, seconde et étrangère) et suffisamment fourni pour intéresser les linguistes et les étudiants avancés (en lettres modernes, sciences du langage ou traitement automatique des langues), l'ouvrage offre une base solide et de multiples pistes pour de futures investigations en la matière."--Page 4 of cover.
