This collection of ten texts offers a unique glimpse into the language and culture of the Muyu, a Papuan people living in the heart of New Guinea. It features narratives from six storytellers, all of which have been transcribed, translated, and linguistically annotated. The presentation follows a two-part structure: first, a parallel-text format with Muyu and English arranged in columns; second, an interlinearized version for detailed linguistic analysis. The texts revolve around two central

This Handbook brings together the viewpoints of academics, practitioners, artists and people seeking refuge in Scotland to explore the global learnings that can be gained from this context.

Computational methods employing corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and/or artificial intelligence have expanded our ability to empirically study figures such as humour, irony, and metaphor. Moreover, the growing number of digital spaces have afforded users with new mediums and affordances to deploy such figures. The result is a growing complexity in terms of methods and contexts for studying humour, irony, and other forms of figurative language. This special issue gathers original

Meeting Description: In many languages, verb-first clauses appear not only as main clauses, such as polar interrogatives, but also in adverbial functions, particularly as conditional, concessive, adversative or causal clauses. Although certain types of verb-first adverbial clauses have been studied in languages like Dutch, German, English, and the Scandinavian languages, their syntactic status, semantic interpretation, and prosodic integration remain underexplored. In the case of German, v

An initiative of the recently founded Linguistics Society of Young India (which exists right now as an online community on Discord), this magazine aims to promote such topics amongst the Indian audience, especially throughout students. This magazine is one of the ways through which we aim to fulfil our goals of spreading linguistic education amongst Indian students and in turn to let them have a platform of their own.

Previously, most studies in this area have focused on the reciprocal effects of language teachers’ emotions, identity, well-being and agency, with emotions often being portrayed as consequential entities. However, this book advances the field by exploring specifically how language teacher emotions can be used as tools for personal and professional development. The authors provide empirical, theoretical, conceptual and practical contributions which demonstrate how emotional responses provide data

This book traces and summarizes theoretical insights and empirical findings on the topic of whether or not anxiety for language learning could be a causal variable for individual differences in language learning. The author brings together three decades of research to show that first language (L1) skills and second language (L2) aptitude are confounding variables in studies of language anxiety and that learners’ levels of anxiety for L2 learning are strongly related to their levels of language a

This book explores the ways in which language is understood in diverse contexts, and how linguistic theories – and the idea of language as an object – fail to represent a reality that is inherently multi- and trans-. The chapters tease out the way that an understanding of language as a social practice, and the central role of the speaker(s) and their repertoire, allows for a more nuanced interpretation of language in contexts ranging from English as an international ‘neutral’ language in researc

This book explores the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy within higher education, addressing both instructors’ and students’ preparedness to engage with AI technologies responsibly and effectively. By synthesising existing frameworks and empirical studies, alongside presenting two original research studies, the book bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications tailored for modern educational contexts. Practical recommendations include methods to develop AI literacy
