"Quando leggo questa frase provo..." è uno studio sulla percezione del linguaggio equo (o inclusivo) ed escludente nella lingua di tutti i giorni. L'uso non equo di femminili e maschili in alcune frasi e contesti può suscitare fastidio in chi legge che può provare una sensazione di esclusione. E noi vogliamo capire quanto fastidio suscita in chi parla la lingua italiana Per saperne di più sul linguaggio equo, visita il sito https://www.egalia.it/ In questa investigazione, ti chiediamo di

Dans le contexte du changement climatique, les discours sur l’écologie et le vivant sont omniprésents et circulent dans une grande diversité de cadres et d’espaces de communication. Qu’ils émanent du monde scientifique, industriel, politique, médiatique ou de la société civile, qu’ils relèvent de la vulgarisation ou des mouvements de mobilisation citoyenne, ces discours façonnent notre perception du vivant et influencent nos comportements à son égard. Ils oscillent entre volonté d’objectivité et

Can language revitalisation succeed without engaging with the community of speakers or with those who live in the territory where an Indigenous or minoritised language is spoken? What does it mean to build and belong to a community in the digital age? Can communities continue to exist and thrive despite the depopulation of rural, mountain, and peripheral areas? Do communities sometimes work against language revitalisation efforts? And what challenges does inclusion present in creating a more equ

SUMMARY The central argument of this book is that closer collaboration between linguistics and second language (L2) teaching and learning can improve both language teaching practices and linguistic research. The authors make this case through concrete examples, including case studies, classroom activities, research findings, and real-world experiences, that demonstrate how linguistic methods enhance teaching effectiveness. Importantly, the book frames this relationship as mutually beneficial:

Natural languages make extensive use of approximative expressions: forms that describe an event, state or situation as being close to a threshold, a goal or an expected outcome, without necessarily reaching it. This domain includes scalar approximators such as almost, nearly, barely and hardly, as well as constructions expressing near-attainment, near-avoidance, unrealized outcomes or frustrated expectations, including be about to, be on the verge of, come close to, try to and attempt to, especi

This descriptive contrastive grammar systematically analyzes Japanese and Bengali (Bengali)—two typologically distinct languages belonging to the Japonic and Indo Aryan families. The study is organized into ten parts. Part 1 establishes the theoretical and methodological foundations of contrastive linguistics and corpus analysis. Part 2 compares phonology, phonetics, and writing systems, focusing on mora timing vs. syllable timing, pitch accent vs. stress accent, and the Japanese mixed script vs

The Brahui language, spoken by some 1,5 million people in Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, is the earliest offshoot of the Dravidian stock. Isolated from the kindred languages for several thousand years, it combines ancient features inherited from the Proto-Dravidian ancestor with numerous borrowings from its Iranian and Indo-Aryan neighbours. Apart from a detailed practical grammar, illustrated with copious examples from Brahui texts, the book offers the latest comparative-historical informatio

Das Buch ist eine abgeschlossene Einführung in das Framework der Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. In einem einführenden Kapitel wird der Übergang von einfachen Phrasenstrukturgrammatiken zu den komplexeren Repräsentationen mit Merkmalbeschreibungen motiviert. Das zweite Kapitel führt allgemein verständlich in den Formalismus der Merkmalstrukturen ein. In den verbleibenden Kapiteln werden phänomenbezogen verschiedene Grammatikbereiche diskutiert, wobei die Analysen jeweils für das Deutsche a

A key challenge of studying the historical phonology of any language is how to reconstruct the pronunciation of periods before the availability of sound recording. Many studies of pre-twentieth-century pronunciation rely on sources that comment on how people spoke, or infer pronunciation from spelling variation or rhymes. This book is the first to investigate the phonology of nineteenth-century English based on a new kind of written source material: it examines pronunciation evidence provided by
