The European Journal of Education and Language Review (EJELR) invites submissions on a rolling basis. EJELR is a diamond open-access journal which publishes critical scholarship at the intersection of language, education, identity and power. We are interested in work that asks not only how languages are taught and learned, but whose languages count, in whose interests educational language policies operate, and what is made possible (or lost) when those arrangements are contested. We are a you

This book brings together cutting-edge research on grammatical variation and change in English, showcasing the state of the art in contemporary corpus linguistics. The studies apply corpus-based and variationist methods to a wide range of grammatical categories (nominal, adjectival, verbal, adverbial, prepositional) across synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Its central aim is to demonstrate how empirical corpus evidence can enhance grammatical theory, especially within usage-based, cognitiv

This monograph presents the first book-length study to focus on formulaic humor and humorous formulae , situated at the crossroads of Pragmatics, Phraseology, and Conversational Humor Studies. Based upon a self-compiled corpus of 34 television series (4,214 episodes; 19.4 million words), it adopts a corpus-assisted, exploratory, mixed-method approach to analyze 13 types of humorous formulae across 146 samples. A conversation-analytical lens reveals how these formulaic patterns are systematically

For this collection, Krabbe selected twenty of what, in his opinion, were his best philosophical essays about argumentation. Four of them were written with Jan Albert van Laar. All of these essays are, in one way or another, concerned with argumentative dialogue. Their focus is sometimes on particular kinds of fallacious reasoni

The documentarist turn, i.e., the growing impact of documentary concepts and practices within general linguistics, has increased awareness of the empirical foundations of our discipline, accompanied by an appreciation of the value of observable linguistic behaviour. Today, there exist well-annotated, audiovisual data collections for many—if still far from enough—endangered or un(der)described languages across the world, each striving to present a “lasting, multipurpose record of a language” (Him

Call for Papers: Introduction The conference aims to explore, from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, the grammars of sexuality, understood both as norm and as a paradigmatic potential in shaping old and new forms of saying, narrating, and performing sexual identities, roles, and practices situated within different discursive, cultural, and social universes. By grammars we mean, on the one hand, what can be said, narrated, or performed within a given cultural and social context
