Books: Prosody and Interactional Fluency of Italian Learners of German: Sbranna (2025)

This book explores the development of prosodic and interactional competence in second language acquisition, drawing on data from peer interactions by Italian learners of German in both German and their native language, Italian, as well as from German native speakers. Three key aspects of spoken interaction are examined across proficiency levels: prosodic marking of information status, turn-taking, and backchannels. The analysis of prosodic marking of information status reveals that learners mark

Books: Dynamics of L2 Sociolinguistic Development in Adulthood: Wirtz (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Fri, 07/18/2025 - 10:05
This book constitutes a holistic study of sociolinguistic development among adult second language (L2) learners in a naturalistic setting. Combining results from a cross-sectional and longitudinal micro-development study, it examines the acquisition of both the productive and interpretive skills necessary to engage with the contextually sensitive use of vernacularity in Austria. The studies focus on issues of inter- and intra-individual variation and aim to shed much-needed light on why L2 learn

Books: Pronatalism: Benesch (2025)

The LINGUIST List - Fri, 07/18/2025 - 09:05
This book addresses a topic that until recently had been underexplored: women who voluntarily forgo having and raising children. Grounded in a discourse approach, it examines reproductive decision-making in the context of pronatalist discourses, such as 'maternal instinct', 'biological clock' and 'having it all', that encourage procreation in some while discouraging it in others. To contextualize pronatalism sociohistorically, the book also examines the relationship between pro- and anti-natalis

Perception, the process by which a conscious entity captures, decodes, and interprets external stimuli, can rightly be considered one of the most sophisticated and fascinating processes of nature. As a cognitive process fundamental to all living beings, the phenomenon of perception has received considerable attention across various scientific fields, including linguistics. Indeed, since language is used primarily to talk about the world we perceive, language and perception are inextricably inter
