Each chapter includes key pedagogical features such

Focus: This intensive program provides students with a background in the formal syntax of Semitic languages (mainly contemporary Arabic dialects), and develops collaborative micro-comparative research on some specific topics. The program offers classes both in formal syntax and relevant related topics, taught by a team of expert linguists, and guided field work sessions with a specific focus on the micro-comparison of different semitic languages, from well-documented to lesser-known varieties of

Philosophy for Translators: An Arabic-English Reader presents carefully selected philosophical texts originally composed in English and drawn from authentic sources. These texts have been thoughtfully translated into Arabic, offering readers a bilingual format that serves both pedagogical and intellectual purposes. While the volume is likely to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers with an interest in philosophy and translation, it is primarily designed for students engaged in Arabic-English tra

Die Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen des langfristigen Sprachkontakts zwischen dem Französischen und den melanesischen Sprachen Neukaledoniens (Ajië, Paicî und Xârâcùù). Der Fokus liegt auf der Analyse französischer Lehnwörter und deren Integration in die schriftlichen Register dieser Sprachen. Die Analyse verdeutlicht, dass phonologische Anpassungen wie Apokope, Epenthese, Pränasalierung oder Rhotisierung eine zentrale Rolle bei der Integration französischer Lexeme spielen. Diese Prozesse

Ce manuel se donne pour objectif d’analyser les principaux faits de la langue française selon l’approche scientifique de la grammaire générative. Deux domaines intimement liés sont abordés : la morphologie (étude des mots) et la syntaxe (étude des phrases). On y découvre les grandes lignes de la théorie linguistique (notamment la théorie des principes et paramètres et le minimalisme), la structure et les propriétés des mots, les processus de formation de nouveaux mots, et comment ceux-ci sont ag

Queer Linguistics applies insights from Queer Theory to linguistics. More specifically, it seeks to explore the intersections of language and social identity informed by a non-binary, social constructionist and interactional perspective on gender and sexuality. Queer linguistic research investigates how speakers use language to subvert and reconfigure linguistic and socio-cultural hegemonies. As a growing area of inquiry, it critically explores variation, creativity, and the sociocultural embedd
