Pragmatic competence, the ability to interpret and produce language in context, lies at the heart of human communication. From implicature to speech act recognition, from reference resolution to conversational repair, pragmatic reasoning shapes how we use language to collaborate, negotiate meaning, and navigate everyday social interactions. How well do current large language models (LLMs) approximate human pragmatics, and what core pragmatic capacities remain beyond their reach? The 1st Works

In a world that has increasingly become marked by tensions and divisions, breaking down silos and overcoming isolation is more important now than ever.

SUMMARY This thematic collection aims at a rather broad audience that includes, but is not limited to, historical linguists as well as anthropologists and historians. It stated aim is to show that historical-comparative linguistics is not “a field for harmless drudges and antiquarians”: instead, it has far-reaching consequences as it connects (and clashes) with nationalist ideologies. These go all the way back to the field’s genesis in the eighteenth century, and the ideal of a national langu

Cet ouvrage s’attache à examiner des stratégies discursives utilisées par des locuteurs camerounais francophones pour prodiguer des conseils. Il décrypte la variation sociale et l’ancrage socioculturel de cette activité communicative altruiste, notamment en cernant, d’une part, les variations orchestrées lors de la mise en mots du conseil selon les strates de rapports sociaux existant entre les interlocuteurs, et, d’autre part, en relevant l’impact de la socioculture camerounaise sur les choix s

The vast majority of phonetic research on Spanish segments has examined either read speech or speech elicited under carefully controlled conditions for the purpose of linguistic analysis. While such control is often necessary, one must be cautious in assuming that the results of analyzing such data are representative of speaker behavior more broadly. By examining naturally occurring speech, this book provides an overview of the range of speech productions of the various sounds of Castilian Spa

A Grammar of Doromu-Koki covers major features of this formerly minimally described language of Papua New Guinea. This Papuan language, which has been classified as Southeast Manubaran, is spoken by approximately 2,000 speakers. Half reside in the original community area, located in the Owen Stanley ranges to the east-southeast of the capital, Port Moresby, while the remainder are currently living and working there in the capital. This analysis includes culturally appropriate examples from a co
