Call for Contributors! Brill is calling for scholars to join the team of our longstanding tradition of "The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies". We are looking for contributors who are motivated to keep up with the newest publications in their field of study and write an annual critical bibliographical survey on it. Your survey will be an invaluable resource for your fellow scholars to stay informed of what really matters and stands out. Each contribution covers publications on a m

Challenging the boundaries of linguistics as a field, and transgressing the limitations of genre in writing about language, this book explores the possibilities of what the authors call a ‘hospitable linguistics’. It offers a critical discussion of how linguistics endeavors to domesticate, subdue and integrate both people and languages into existing academic structures and theories, and how as a discipline academic linguistics has barely begun to move beyond its colonial, patriarchal and conserv

Twenty-one linguistic families are counted in California. The authors conducted a vocabulary study to examine and structure these families in more detail. About two hundred and twenty-five English words were selected and compared with the known native equivalents to determine all similarities. Soon some similarities between almost all twenty-one tribes became apparent, and as the comparative vocabulary was completed, the number of similarities had become considerable. One group contained the int

The Aramean comprises two principal subdivisions; viz. the Syriac, sometimes called, by way of distinction, West Aramean, and the Chaldee, or East Aramean. The appropriate region of the latter was the province of Babylonia, between Euphrates and Tigris, the original inhabitants of which cultivated this language as a distinct dialect, and communicated it to the Jews during the Babylonian exile. By means of the Jews the Chaldee was transplanted into Palestine, where it became the vernacular to

ISBN 9783969392065 (paperback), 17x24 cm, 96pp., EUR 69.80. The most compelling evidence to date for involvement of the Basal Ganglia (BG) (Basal Ganglia Grammar) in natural language comes to us from theoretical movement operations (nested dependency, distant binding and trace-theory). This implication of BG overlaps with well-established evidence showing Broca’s involvement with movement. Dual pathways are a marked characteristic of BG insofar that in cascading down-stream neural networks, b

One of the leading questions burning in the minds of most developmental linguists is: To what extent do biological factors such as brain maturation play a role in the early stages of syntactic development? The proposed theoretical framework―a 'Merge-based Theory' of Child Language Acquisition―is applied here to the earliest observable stages of child syntax which demonstrates a complete absence of movement operations. The working hypothesis throughout these essays is that young children's syntac

This volume is a new, revised version of the long out-of-date volume published in the former Institute of Eskimology's internal publication series (Copenhagen University). The new version is with English texts (and does not include the Danish translations of the original version). Besides the thematic dictionary, a succinct description of the grammar plus a sample text (with translation) is added. The format of the thematic section is parallel to that for East Greenlandic in Robbe & Dorais (1986

After emerging as an autonomous discipline in the late 1970s, cognitive science has since become a prominent interdisciplinary, scientific discipline for studying the mind and its processes, integrating research and theories from diverse fields such as linguistics, psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, neuroscience, and anthropology. In the current and ever-evolving age of AI, however, cognitive science has been fine-tuning its own methodological purview more and more on ideas coming

This volume seeks to explore multilingual practices and the tensions these reveal as manifest in Swiss literary writing. We are interested in writing that incorporates one or more of the Swiss national languages (or their dialects), as well as writing by Swiss authors in other languages, and writing by migrants to Switzerland that engages with multilingualism. We are looking for additional contributions on the theme. Proposals can be submitted ASAP. Please see our CFP here: https://brill

The conference will be held in the Aula Magna of the Francioso Campus and in the Hall of the National Archaeological Museum of Basilicata Dinu Adamesteanu, Potenza. The Conference will focus on the following topics: The names of ‘villains’ (antagonists and negative characters). The relevance of the names of literary ‘villains’ and/or ‘antagonists’ is already evident when we consider a peculiar linguistic phenomenon: many of them have become so famous that they have turned into antonomasie
