This book combines in-depth grammatical analysis with dialectology and typology. It presents important features of Jewish Neo-Aramaic from Dohok (Iraqi Kurdistan), a previously undocumented dialect that is now on the verge of extinction. The first Neo-Aramaic grammar to offer data glossing, this book is accessible for and highly relevant to Semitists, language typologists and historical linguists. It focuses especially on phonology, verbal morphosyntax and syntax. The monograph also highlights f
This study presents a thorough grammatical description of one of the less well-known languages spoken on the Italian peninsula 鈥� Abruzzese, specifically the variety spoken in Vasto, in the province of Chieti, known as U芒蕛tar茅ule among its native speakers. Included in the study is a detailed analysis of the variety鈥檚 syntax, which is the component of grammar that researchers have traditionally studied the least when examining the Latin- derived, non-Italian languages spoken on the peninsula. The
This book presents the results of a field research on the verbal system of Soqotri, a little-studied language spoken on the island of Soqotra (Arabian Sea) and belonging to the Modern South Arabian branch of Semitic. The investigation focuses on the so-called T-stems (marked by the infix -t-), mostly employed as derivational means of detransitivisation. In this book you will find comprehensive descriptions of the synchronic morphology and semantics of the T-stems, as well as an inquiry into thei
This volume brings together studies on morphosyntactic and phonological constituency from a host of languages across the Americas. The study expands on previous multivariate typological work on phonological domains by simultaneously coding the results of morphosyntactic constituency tests. The descriptions are geared towards developing a typology of constituency and linguistic levels in both morphosyntactic and phonological domains. The multivariate approach adopted in this volume deconstructs c
This book offers an accessible introduction to the ways that language is processed and produced by computers, a field that has recently exploded in interest. The book covers writing systems, tools to help people write, computer-assisted language learning, the multidisciplinary study of text as data, text classification, information retrieval, machine translation, and dialog. Throughout, we emphasize insights from linguistics along with the ethical and social consequences of emerging technology.
Hello! My name is Theodor Brus and i am writing my bachelor thesis this spring at the department of linguistics at Stockholm University. I want to do a typological study of comparative correlative clauses. Sag (2010, p. 526) defines comparative correlative clauses as 鈥榤onotonic relations between two differentials鈥�. However, there is often a causative function in one direction, the first element is the reason for the state of the second element. The following examples illustrate this point.

My co-authors and I are seeking a publication venue for the 18,000-word manuscript from a large-scale study summarized below:
In the current experimental psycholinguistic study, English-language teacher candidates with German as first language were studied before, immediately after, and a while after being taught about pragmatic and semantic differences based on linguistic aspect. Depending on task and linguistic level, learning of imperfective aspect was apparent: pragmatic causal inferencing

This volume explores the ways in which historical linguistics and language change interact with ideology. The chapters present twelve in-depth case studies that cover topics ranging from the location of the Indo-European homeland to language policy in the former Yugoslavia.
This book traces the development of Greek from Proto-Indo-European to around the 5th century BC, drawing on all the tools of scientific historical and comparative linguistics. It contributes to long-standing debates surrounding the classification of Ancient Greek dialects and discusses the tension between cladistics and contact phenomena.
This volume explores the ways in which historical linguistics and language change interact with ideology. The chapters present twelve in-depth case studies that cover topics ranging from the location of the Indo-European homeland to language policy in the former Yugoslavia.
This volume offers new perspectives on the tension between the rich patterns of language variation that emerge from comparative studies and the quest for simple theoretical primitives. The chapters analyze a wide range of phenomena, and relate them to fundamental questions of universality, linguistic variation, and learnability.
This volume showcases the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The work is underpinned by a range of different approaches and highlights new directions for linguistic research on the French language.
This book deals with the category of case and where to place it in grammar. Chapters explore a range of issues relating to the division between syntactic Case and morphological case, investigating the relevant phenomena, and drawing on data from a variety of typologically diverse languages.
'The Victorians and English Dialect' tells the story of the Victorians' discovery of English dialect, and of the revaluation of local language that was brought about by the new, historical philology of the nineteenth century.
