Since the advent of Web 2.0, the interaction of user-generated content on participatory platforms has democratized content creation and reshaped communication, identity, authority, and knowledge across various fields, from health to politics, amid the post-truth phenomena. This timely book provides essential insights into the transformative effects of the evolving digital landscape. It gives a comprehensive analysis of how areas such as health, politics, and language ideology have been influence

A logical and clear exposition of hierarchy and locality by a leading figure in the field, Continuing Syntax takes students from an introductory level of syntactic theory to an understanding of cutting-edge research in the field. A comprehensive range of topics is covered, including configurationality, head-movement, clause structure, nominal structure, subjacency, barriers and phases, ensuring that students have a thorough understanding of all the main components of contemporary theory. The man

This Element proposes to view World Englishes as components of an overarching Complex Dynamic System of Englishes, against the conventional view of regarding them as discrete, rule-governed, categorial systems. After outlining this basic idea and setting it off from mainstream linguistic theories, it introduces the theory of Complex Dynamic Systems and the main properties of such systems (systemness, complexity, perpetual dynamics, network relationships, the interplay of order and chaos, emergen

From anti-vaccine politics to aliens, this volume explores diverse critical approaches to conspiracy narratives representing them as playful stories with serious ideologies and effects. It examines conspiracy in relation to social power and authority, moving beyond either disinformation or revelation. In addition, it looks at how the genre of conspiracy is the performance of questioning authority to produce new forms of expertise which frequently stabilize existing power hierarchies. Acros

According to Natural Morphology (e.g., Dressler 2005), the most natural morphological constructions are those based on constructional iconicity, i.e.,constructions in which more meaning is represented by more form. From this point of view, concatenative morphology is natural and typical, while non-concatenative morphology can be perceived as atypical, deviating from the standard types of word-formation in the languages of the world (see also Štekauer, Valera, and Körtvélyessy 2012). The types of

About the conference: The StuTS (Studentische Tagung Sprachwissenschaft) is a three-day student conference on linguistics held biannually. Organized by volunteer linguistics students, it is hosted usually but not exclusively, by German-speaking universities. Since its inauguration in Hamburg in 1987, StuTS has brought together thousands of enthusiastic linguistics students to present their work, learn about exciting new topics in inspiring keynote addresses, talks, and workshops, and me

The conference is an open forum for scholars interested in exploring empirically topics and issues in Arabic applied linguistics. The topics of the conference cover three main strands: I. Topics which deal with Arabic second language acquisition (SLA). Current approaches for investigating the different aspects (phonology, vocabulary, morphology, syntax, morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc.) of Arabic SLA include but not limited to: - Formal (generative, functional, typological) - Cog

Convenors: Vladimir Panov, Vilnius University (vladimir.panov@flf.vu.lt); Maria Khachaturyan, CNRS/University of Helsinki (maria.khachaturyan@helsinki.fi); Pavel Ozerov, University of Innsbruck (pavel.ozerov@uibk.ac.at) Workshop Description: The goal of this workshop is to lay the groundwork for an utterance/TCU-oriented typology. Departing from the traditional clause-based model of cross-linguistic variation, we aim to uncover the fundamental syntactic patterns of spoken discourse and the t

An in-depth exploration of how international teaching assistants (ITAs) make their accents workable to fulfill their duties as academic laborers. In this book, “workable” refers not only to manipulating an accent, but also to ensuring that an accent achieves certain objectives such as being perceived as an intelligible speaker, an expert educator, and an acceptable worker. Drawing on commentaries from ITAs working in Canadian universities, Vijay A. Ramjattan highlights how crafting a workable

This edited volume brings together linguistic and oral history practitioners to explore the intersections between both disciplines. This book is comprised of contributions from linguists (corpus linguists, sociolinguists, dialectologists and second language acquisition experts) to present how they investigate oral history texts from a linguistic perspective as well as contributions from oral history practitioners who focus on language-related aspects of their subject. In presenting perspec

This book develops a cognitive stylistic exploration of readers' emotional experiences of literature. Adopting Possible Worlds Theory as a framework, the volume constructs a stylistic analysis of some of the ways in which novels elicit readers' emotions. A typology of past, present, and future textual actual and possible worlds is formulated to frame analysis of three novels: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, and The Trick Is to Keep Breathing by Janice G

As social media keeps changing, so does the representation of World Englishes across the wide range of platforms available. This edited volume explores the different varieties of English on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and YouTube. Social media platforms showcase an ever-increasing diversity in languages and varieties of languages used on them. Divided into three parts, the book focuses in turn on language variation in digital contexts, iden

Language, whether spoken, written, or signed, is a powerful resource that is used to facilitate social justice or undermine it. The first reference resource to use an explicitly global lens to explore the interface between language and social justice, this volume expands our understanding of how language symbolizes, frames, and expresses political, economic, and psychic problems in society, thus contributing to visions for social justice. Investigating specific case studies in which language
